Operation Truth is a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Nonprofit Organization produced to gain the much needed Veterans Benefits and Research for those suffering from Chronic Multisymptom Illness. The VA states that "Chronic Multisymptom Illness" is a "prominent condition affecting Gulf War Veterans...a cluster of medically unexplained chronic symptoms that can include Fatigue, Headaches, Joint Pain, Indigesti
on, Insomnia, Dizziness, Respiratory Disorders, and Memory Problems." The VA believes the "Vaccinations, Pyridostigmine Bromide (PB), Oil Well Fires, Pesticides, Chemical & Biological Weapons, Sand, Dust & Particles, Depleted Uranium, Toxic Embedded Fragments, Noise, Infectious Diseases, CARC paint, Heat Injuries, and Occupational Hazards." are possible causes for these conditions. More information can be found at the following website: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/gulfwar/sources/index.asp. The VA is Researching many environmental concerns for the cause of Chronic Multisymptom Illness, except Vaccinations. Operation Truth plans to change that by gaining the funding needed to conduct the necessary Research in determining the Genetic Biomarkers of those more susceptible to Vaccine Injury. Operation Truth was not only started by a Veteran, but is operated, designed and supported by Veterans and their family members. Through the donations given to this organization we can help spread awareness of Gulf War Era Illnesses/Injuries and gain the data needed to get the benefits we deserve.
