Other Military Human Experimentation Projects

[Commander Bob]

Since we are discussing "HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION". I am searching for information regarding any Army URI ( upper respiratory infection ) experiments at Ft. Dix NJ, during the winter and spring of 1967? A group of us were sent to a clinic every morning and given fluid to gargle with every day. I got so sick with URI, that I was taken out of the program, or the experiment was over. I can't remember for sure. Any info about this incident will be helpful.

My VAMC has "research center" posted under the name of the building. Not necessarily related to what you guys went through, but it does make me wonder...

You remember the file "Jacob's Ladder"? That was based on facts from the Vietnam war where our fearless leaders wanted to use chemicals to produce super warriors. I understand it was a disaster. Of course, they did give LSD to soldiers without their knowledge. Back in 1971 an Army dentist tried to transplant one of my wisdom teeth into the place where he had extracted a back molar. It was a mess and bled for about a week. My face swoll up like a baseball. Since that time I know of no regular dentist that do tooth transplants on a regular basis. This was forty years ago.
