July 30, 2008, 12:08pm (report abuse)Mayo clinic stuy herbicide 2,4-D results in 2.45 times increase in Parkinson's with only less than 4/10th of a percent chance that this is cause by something other than the herbicide. Stanford university Vietnam Veterans are over 2 time likely to have Parkinson's as those that didn't go to Vietnam. Iowa Ag Farm Study, conncect the chemicals in Agent Orange to increase in Parkinson's disease. Much more supporting info. Conctact oldvet@aol.com for more info.

November 14, 2008, 1:10pm (report abuse)I had 2 tours in Vietnam. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's approx 5 years ago. I have felt from the beginning it was caused by exposure to agent orange. The numbers are there. We went when we were called. Do the right thing.
