Thank you, my friend Maj Kim Patterson for posting and making us aware that recent legislation has added nine more diseases associated with exposure to Agent Orange.
[My security software blocked this share -since I saw it was from you, I overrode the block. :-)]
"Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle introduced new legislation called the Keeping Our Promises Act that would add nine medical conditions to the list of illnesses that result from Agent Orange exposure.
The legislation is sponsored by Rep. Bruce Westerman, R-Ark. Co-sponsors include Reps. Joe Cunningham, D-S.C., Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., Scott Tipton, R-Colo., Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., Brendan Boyle, D-Penn., Mike Thompson, D-Calif., and Ann Kuster, D-N.H.
The conditions joining the list include prostate cancer, bladder cancer, hypothyroidism, hypertension, stroke, early-onset peripheral neuropathy, AL amyloidosis, ischemic heart disease, and Parkinson-like syndromes. Research from the National Academy of Medicine has found evidence that all but one of these conditions (hypertension) can be linked to Agent Orange exposure. "
