Would a Diatomaceous Earth treatment or a regular de-worming help?
Or are we gonna let a few more thousand die while we come up with a multi million dollar treatment?

Ping to just a few fellow VietVets off the top of my head.
If any of you have better lists...

Oh, wonderful. First, we lost all of girlfriends while we were gone.
Then, it was the dysentery and Malaria, fungus and boils.
Next, the privilege of getting hit and all those new complexities to our lives.
After that, the fun of the homecoming and the know-it-alls.
Next, it was prostate cancer.
Now it's carcinogenic liver flukes.
Weren't we the lucky ones!

I had a good friend who served in Vietnam.
He came down with leukemia.
The VA is supposed to automatically find “service related” for Vietnam Veterans with leukemia.
The Fort Harrison, MT VBA came back with “not service related”.
He died several months ago from the leukemia.
I despise the VBA.

Dysentery was my favorite part.
(That was the only time in my life I wasn’t overweight.)

Headed for my 4th surgery for a skin disorder picked up playing in the sandbox. Asia has wonderful things to offer the American Soldiers in exchange for their treasure.

Thanks, blam.
Never ate fish in Vietnam, either in 68-69, or in 2000.

Great post.. I guess the flukes were suppressed by strong immune systems until they stopped being strong. Looking into this one. Immun / parasit ping.

Blam, Thank you for posting this article.
A Ping for all who served in Vietnam regarding source of bile duct cancer.

So, how do you go about getting this test? I suspect my Kaiser GP would just give me a blank stare.
To: blam
It would help if they named the specific liver fluke. Clinorchis, Fasciola, Shistosoma or something else?
