		<description><![CDATA[Here is a chance for veterans to be in a controlled study with a highly respected physician and researcher.  By the way this is one of the doctors that helped contribute their knowledge and be interviewed for the new book by Arnold Mann that will be available to be ordered next week.  The book:  THEY"RE POISONING US : From The Gulf War To The Gulf of Mexico, AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT again is expected to be available to order next week, VT will keep you informed on further developments.We encourage veterans to participate and help yourselves and your fellow veteran by doing so.  We in the veteran community are advocating for each of you to get diagnostic and treatment trials that are good to you.  You have to do your part and follow up and be a participant.  Sometimes we also need controls that could be friends, family members, other veterans that are not ill and we encourage you to help also to find others that can serve as controls.  

This is the second study in a couple of months that are new researchers that have asked us to get the word out.
Treatment trial for gulf war illness.]]></description>
