Bio Weapons Tests
This document is about covert operations going on since the 1940s in the testing
of disease agents on the citizens of Canada, the United States, and Britain; in their
joint efforts in the “Biological Weapons Development Program”
MYCOPLASMA
Several strains of mycoplasma have been "engineered" to become more dangerous. They are now being
blamed for AIDS, cancer, CFS, MS, CJD and other neurosystemic diseases.

PATHOGENIC MYCOPLASMA
There are 200 species of Mycoplasma. Most are innocuous and do no harm; only four or five are pathogenic.
Mycoplasma fermentans (incognitus strain) probably comes from the nucleus of the Brucella bacterium.
This disease agent is not a bacterium and not a virus; it is a mutated form of the Brucella bacterium,
combined with a visna virus, from which the mycoplasma is extracted.
The pathogenic Mycoplasma used to be very innocuous, but biological warfare research conducted
between 1942 and the present time has resulted in the creation of more deadly and infectious forms of
Mycoplasma. Researchers extracted this mycoplasma from the Brucella bacterium and actually reduced
the disease to a crystalline form. They "weaponised" it and tested it on an unsuspecting public in North
America.
Dr Maurice Hilleman, chief virologist for the pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme, stated that
this disease agent is now carried by everybody in North America and possibly most people throughout the
world.
Despite reporting flaws, there has clearly been an increased incidence of all the neuro/systemic
degenerative diseases since World War II and especially since the 1970s with the arrival of previously
unheard-of diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS.
According to Dr Shyh-Ching Lo, senior researcher at The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and one of
America's top mycoplasma researchers, this disease agent causes many illnesses including AIDS, cancer,
chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease,
Wegener's disease and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.
Dr Charles Engel, who is with the US National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, stated the following
at an NIH meeting on February 7, 2000: "I am now of the view that the probable cause of chronic fatigue
syndrome and fibromyalgia is the mycoplasma..."
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |2
I have all the official documents to prove that mycoplasma is the disease agent in chronic fatigue
syndrome/fibromyalgia as well as in AIDS, multiple sclerosis and many other illnesses. Of these, 80% are
US or Canadian official government documents, and 20% are articles from peer-reviewed journals such as
the Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine and the Canadian
Medical Association Journal. The journal articles and government documents complement each other.
The mycoplasma acts by entering into the individual cells of the body, depending upon your genetic
predisposition.
You may develop neurological diseases if the pathogen destroys certain cells in your brain, or you may
develop Crohn's colitis if the pathogen invades and destroys cells in the lower bowel.
Once the mycoplasma gets into the cell, it can lie there doing nothing sometimes for 10, 20 or 30 years, but
if a trauma occurs like an accident or a vaccination that doesn't take, the mycoplasma can become
triggered.
Because it is only the DNA particle of the bacterium, it doesn't have any organelles to process its own
nutrients, so it grows by uptaking pre-formed sterols from its host cell and it literally kills the cell; the cell
ruptures and what is left gets dumped into the bloodstream.
Many doctors don't know about this mycoplasma disease agent because it was developed by the US
military in biological warfare experimentation and it was not made public. This pathogen was patented by
the United States military and Dr Shyh-Ching Lo. I have a copy of the documented patent from the US
Patent Office.1
All the countries at war were experimenting with biological weapons. In 1942, the governments of the
United States, Canada and Britain entered into a secret agreement to create two types of biological
weapons (one that would kill, and one that was disabling) for use in the war against Germany and Japan,
who were also developing biological weapons. While they researched a number of disease pathogens, they
primarily focused on the Brucella bacterium and began to weaponise it.
From its inception, the biowarfare program was characterised by continuing in-depth review and
participation by the most eminent scientists, medical consultants, industrial experts and government
officials, and it was classified Top Secret.
The US Public Health Service also closely followed the progress of biological warfare research and
development from the very start of the program, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States were working with the military in weaponising these
diseases. These are diseases that have existed for thousands of years, but they have been
weaponised--which means they've been made more contagious and more effective. And they are
spreading.
The Special Virus Cancer Program, created by the CIA and NIH to develop a deadly pathogen for which
humanity had no natural immunity (AIDS), was disguised as a war on cancer but was actually part of
MKNAOMI.2 Many members of the Senate and House of Representatives do not know what has been
going on. For example, the US Senate Committee on Government Reform had searched the archives in
Washington and other places for the document titled "The Special Virus Cancer Program: Progress Report
No. 8", and couldn't find it. Somehow they heard I had it, called me and asked me to mail it to them. Imagine:
a retired schoolteacher being called by the United States Senate, and asked for one of their secret
documents! The US Senate, through the Government Reform Committee, is trying to stop this type of
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |3
government research.
Crystalline Brucella
The title page of a genuine US Senate Study, declassified on February 24, 1977, shows that George Merck,
of the pharmaceutical company, Merck Sharp & Dohme (which now makes cures for diseases that at one
time it created), reported in 1946 to the US Secretary of War that his researchers had managed "for the first
time" to "isolate the disease agent in crystalline form".3
They had produced a crystalline bacterial toxin extracted from the Brucella bacterium. The bacterial toxin
could be removed in crystalline form and stored, transported and deployed without deteriorating. It could be
delivered by other vectors such as insects, aerosol or the food chain (in nature it is delivered within the
bacterium). But the factor that is working in the Brucella is the mycoplasma.
Brucella is a disease agent that doesn't kill people; it disables them. But, according to Dr Donald MacArthur
of the Pentagon, appearing before a congressional committee in 1969,4 researchers found that if they had
mycoplasma at a certain strength--actually, 10 to the 10th power (1010) - it would develop into AIDS, and
the person would die from it within a reasonable period of time because it could bypass the natural human
defences. If the strength was 108, the person would manifest with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia.
If it was 107, they would present as wasting; they wouldn't die and they wouldn't be disabled, but they would
not be very interested in life; they would waste away.
Most of us have never heard of the disease brucellosis because it largely disappeared when they began
pasteurising milk, which was the carrier. One salt shaker of the pure disease agent in a crystalline form
could sicken the entire population of Canada. It is absolutely deadly, not so much in terms of killing the body,
but disabling it.
Because the crystalline disease agent goes into solution in the blood, ordinary blood and tissue tests will not
reveal its presence. The mycoplasma will only crystallise at 8.1 pH, and the blood has a pH of 7.4 pH. So
the doctor thinks your complaint is "all in your head".
In 1998 in Rochester, New York, I met a former military man, PFC Donald Bentley, who gave me a
document and told me: "I was in the US Army, and I was trained in bacteriological warfare. We were
handling a bomb filled with brucellosis, only it wasn't brucellosis; it was a Brucella toxin in crystalline form.
We were spraying it on the Chinese and North Koreans."
He showed me his certificate listing his training in chemical, biological and radiological warfare. Then he
showed me 16 pages of documents given to him by the US military when he was discharged from the
service. They linked brucellosis with multiple sclerosis, and stated in one section: "Veterans with multiple
sclerosis, a kind of creeping paralysis developing to a degree of 10% or more disability within two years
after separation from active service, may be presumed to be service-connected for disability compensation.
Compensation is payable to eligible veterans whose disabilities are due to service." In other words: "If you
become ill with multiple sclerosis, it is because you were handling this Brucella, and we will give you a
pension. Don't go raising any fuss about it." In these documents, the government of the United States
revealed evidence of the cause of multiple sclerosis, but they didn't make it known to the public--or to your
doctor.
In a 1949 report, Drs Kyger and Haden suggested "the possibility that multiple sclerosis might be a central
nervous system manifestation of chronic brucellosis". Testing approximately 113 MS patients, they found
that almost 95% also tested positive for Brucella.5 We have a document from a medical journal, which
concludes that one out of 500 people who had brucellosis would develop what they call neurobrucellosis; in
other words, brucellosis in the brain, where the Brucella settles in the lateral ventricles--where the disease
multiple sclerosis is basically located.6
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |4
A 1948 New England Journal of Medicine report titled "Acute Brucellosis Among Laboratory Workers"
shows us how actively dangerous this agent is.7 The laboratory workers were from Camp Detrick, Frederick,
Maryland, where they were developing biological weapons. Even though these workers had been
vaccinated, wore rubberised suits and masks and worked through holes in the compartment, many of them
came down with this awful disease because it is so absolutely and terrifyingly infectious.
The article was written by Lt Calderone Howell, Marine Corps, Captain Edward Miller, Marine Corps, Lt
Emily Kelly, United States Naval Reserve, and Captain Henry Bookman. They were all military personnel
engaged in making the disease agent Brucella into a more effective biological weapon.
Documented evidence proves that the biological weapons they were developing were tested on the public
in various communities without their knowledge or consent.
The government knew that crystalline Brucella would cause disease in humans. Now they needed to
determine how it would spread and the best way to disperse it. They tested dispersal methods for Brucella
suis and Brucella melitensis at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, in June and September 1952. Probably, 100%
of us now are infected with Brucella suis and Brucella melitensis.8
Another government document recommended the genesis of open-air vulnerability tests and covert
research and development programs to be conducted by the Army and supported by the Central
Intelligence Agency.
At that time, the Government of Canada was asked by the US Government to cooperate in testing
weaponised Brucella, and Canada cooperated fully with the United States. The US Government wanted to
determine whether mosquitoes would carry the disease and also if the air would carry it. A government
report stated that "open-air testing of infectious biological agents is considered essential to an ultimate
understanding of biological warfare potentialities because of the many unknown factors affecting the
degradation of micro-organisms in the atmosphere".9
A report from The New England Journal of Medicine reveals that one of the first outbreaks of chronic fatigue
syndrome was in Punta Gorda, Florida, back in 1957.10 It was a strange coincidence that a week before
these people came down with chronic fatigue syndrome, there was a huge influx of mosquitoes.
The National Institutes of Health claimed that the mosquitoes came from a forest fire 30 miles away. The
truth is that those mosquitoes were infected in Canada by Dr Guilford B. Reed at Queen's University. They
were bred in Belleville, Ontario, and taken down to Punta Gorda and released there.
Within a week, the first five cases ever of chronic fatigue syndrome were reported to the local clinic in Punta
Gorda. The cases kept coming until finally 450 people were ill with the disease.
The Government of Canada had established the Dominion Parasite Laboratory in Belleville, Ontario, where
it raised 100 million mosquitoes a month. These were shipped to Queen's University and certain other
facilities to be infected with this crystalline disease agent. The mosquitoes were then let loose in certain
communities in the middle of the night, so that the researchers could determine how many people would
become ill with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, which was the first disease to show.
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |5
One of the communities they tested it on was the St Lawrence Seaway valley, all the way from Kingston to
Cornwall, in 1984. They let out hundreds of millions of infected mosquitoes. Over 700 people in the next four
or five weeks developed myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Before and during World War II, at the infamous Camp 731 in Manchuria, the Japanese military
contaminated prisoners of war with certain disease agents.
They also established a research camp in New Guinea in 1942. There they experimented upon the Fore
Indian tribe and inoculated them with a minced-up version of the brains of diseased sheep containing the
visna virus which causes "mad cow disease" or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
About five or six years later, after the Japanese had been driven out, the poor people of the Fore tribe
developed what they called kuru, which was their word for "wasting", and they began to shake, lose their
appetites and die. The autopsies revealed that their brains had literally turned to mush. They had contracted
"mad cow disease" from the Japanese experiments.
When World War II ended, Dr Ishii Shiro--the medical doctor who was commissioned as a General in the
Japanese Army so he could take command of Japan's biological warfare development, testing and
deployment--was captured. He was given the choice of a job with the United States Army or execution as a
war criminal. Not surprisingly, Dr Ishii Shiro chose to work with the US military to demonstrate how the
Japanese had created mad cow disease in the Fore Indian tribe.
In 1957, when the disease was beginning to blossom in full among the Fore people, Dr Carleton Gajdusek
of the US National Institutes of Health headed to New Guinea to determine how the minced-up brains of the
visna-infected sheep affected them. He spent a couple of years there, studying the Fore people, and wrote
an extensive report. He won the Nobel Prize for "discovering" kuru disease in the Fore tribe.
In 1953, the US Government asked the Canadian Government if it could test a chemical over the city of
Winnipeg. It was a big city with 500,000 people, miles from anywhere. The American military sprayed this
carcinogenic chemical in a 1,000%-attenuated form, which they said would be so watered down that
nobody would get very sick; however, if people came to clinics with a sniffle, a sore throat or ringing in their
ears, the researchers would be able to determine what percentage would have developed cancer if the
chemical had been used at full strength.
We located evidence that the Americans had indeed tested this carcinogenic chemical--zinc cadmium
sulphide--over Winnipeg in 1953. We wrote to the Government of Canada, explaining that we had solid
evidence of the spraying and asking that we be informed as to how high up in the government the request
for permission to spray had gone. We did not receive a reply.
Shortly after, the Pentagon held a press conference on May 14, 1997, where they admitted what they had
done. Robert Russo, writing for the Toronto Star11 from Washington, DC, reported the Pentagon's
admission that in 1953 it had obtained permission from the Canadian Government to fly over the city of
Winnipeg and spray out this chemical--which sifted down on kids going to school, housewives hanging out
their laundry and people going to work. US Army planes and trucks released the chemical 36 times between
July and August 1953. The Pentagon got its statistics, which indicated that if the chemical released had
been full strength, approximately a third of the population of Winnipeg would have developed cancers over
the next five years.
One professor, Dr Hugh Fudenberg, MD, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, wrote a magazine article
stating that the Pentagon came clean on this because two researchers in Sudbury, Ontario--Don Scott and
his son, Bill Scott--had been revealing this to the public. However, the legwork was done by other
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |6
researchers!
The US Army actually conducted a series of simulated germ warfare tests over Winnipeg. The Pentagon
lied about the tests to the mayor, saying that they were testing a chemical fog over the city, which would
protect Winnipeg in the event of a nuclear attack.
A report commissioned by US Congress, chaired by Dr Rogene Henderson, lists 32 American towns and
cities used as test sites as well.
AIDS
The AIDS pathogen was created out of a Brucella bacterium mutated with a visna virus; then the toxin was
removed as a DNA particle called a mycoplasma. They used the same mycoplasma to develop disabling
diseases like MS, Crohn's colitis, Lyme disease, etc.
In the previously mentioned US congressional document of a meeting held on June 9, 1969,12 the
Pentagon delivered a report to Congress about biological weapons. The Pentagon stated: "We are
continuing to develop disabling weapons." Dr MacArthur, who was in charge of the research, said: "We are
developing a new lethal weapon, a synthetic biological agent that does not naturally exist, and for which no
natural immunity could have been acquired."
Think about it. If you have a deficiency of acquired immunity, you have an acquired immunity deficiency.
Plain as that. AIDS.
In laboratories throughout the United States and in a certain number in Canada including at the University of
Alberta, the US Government provided the leadership for the development of AIDS for the purpose of
population control. After the scientists had perfected it, the government sent medical teams from the
Centers for Disease Control--under the direction of Dr Donald A. Henderson, their investigator into the 1957
chronic fatigue epidemic in Punta Gorda--during 1969 to 1971 to Africa and some countries such as India,
Nepal and Pakistan where they thought the population was becoming too large.13 They gave them all a
free vaccination against smallpox; but five years after receiving this vaccination, 60% of those inoculated
were suffering from AIDS. They tried to blame it on a monkey, which is nonsense.
A professor at the University of Arkansas made the claim that while studying the tissues of a dead
chimpanzee she found traces of HIV. The chimpanzee that she had tested was born in the United States 23
years earlier. It had lived its entire life in a US military laboratory where it was used as an experimental
animal in the development of these diseases. When it died, its body was shipped to a storage place where
it was deep-frozen and stored in case they wanted to analyse it later. Then they decided that they didn't
have enough space for it, so they said, "Anybody want this dead chimpanzee?" and this researcher from
Arkansas said: "Yes. Send it down to the University of Arkansas. We are happy to get anything that we can
get." They shipped it down and she found HIV in it. That virus was acquired by that chimpanzee in the
laboratories where it was tested.14
Chronic fatigue syndrome is more accurately called myalgic encephalomyelitis. The chronic fatigue
syndrome nomenclature was given by the US National Institutes of Health because it wanted to downgrade
and belittle the disease.
An MRI scan of the brain of a teenage girl with chronic fatigue syndrome displayed a great many scars or
punctate lesions in the left frontal lobe area where portions of the brain had literally dissolved and been
replaced by scar tissue. This caused cognitive impairment, memory impairment, etc. And what was the
cause of the scarring? The mycoplasma. So there is very concrete physical evidence of these tragic
diseases, even though doctors continue to say they don't know where it comes from or what they can do
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |7
about it.
Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalo-myelitis and fibromyalgia who apply to the
Canada Pensions Plan Review Tribunal will be turned down because they cannot prove that they are ill.
During 1999 I conducted several appeals to Canada Pensions and the Workers Compensation Board
(WCB, now the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) on behalf of people who have been turned down. I
provided documented evidence of these illnesses, and these people were all granted their pensions on the
basis of the evidence that I provided.
In March 1999, for example, I appealed to the WCB on behalf of a lady with fibromyalgia who had been
denied her pension back in 1993. The vice-chairman of the board came to Sudbury to hear the appeal, and
I showed him a number of documents which proved that this lady was physically ill with fibromyalgia. It was
a disease that caused physical damage, and the disease agent was a mycoplasma. The guy listened for
three hours, and then he said to me: "Mr Scott, how is it I have never heard of any of this before? I said: "We
brought a top authority in this area into Sudbury to speak on this subject and not a single solitary doctor
came to that presentation."
Information is not generally available about this agent because, first of all, the mycoplasma is such a
minutely small disease agent. A hundred years ago, certain medical theoreticians conceived that there
must be a form of disease agent smaller than bacteria and viruses. This pathogenic organism, the
mycoplasma, is so minute that normal blood and tissue tests will not reveal its presence as the source of the
disease.
Your doctor may diagnose you with Alzheimer's disease, and he will say: "Golly, we don't know where
Alzheimer's comes from. All we know is that your brain begins to deteriorate, cells rupture, the myelin
sheath around the nerves dissolves, and so on." Or if you have chronic fatigue syndrome, the doctor will not
be able to find any cause for your illness with ordinary blood and tissue tests.
This mycoplasma couldn't be detected until about 30 years ago when the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
test was developed, in which a sample of your blood is examined and damaged particles are removed and
subjected to a polymerase chain reaction. This causes the DNA in the particles to break down. The particles
are then placed in a nutrient, which causes the DNA to grow back into its original form. If enough of the
substance is produced, the form can be recognised, so it can be determined whether Brucella or another
kind of agent is behind that particular mycoplasma.
Blood Test
If you or anybody in your family has myalgic encephalomyelitis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or
Alzheimer's, you can send a blood sample to Dr Les Simpson in New Zealand for testing.
If you are ill with these diseases, your red blood cells will not be normal doughnut-shaped blood cells
capable of being compressed and squeezed through the capillaries, but will swell up like cherry-filled
doughnuts which cannot be compressed. The blood cells become enlarged and distended because the only
way the mycoplasma can exist is by uptaking pre-formed sterols from the host cell. One of the best sources
of pre-formed sterols is cholesterol, and cholesterol is what gives your blood cells flexibility. If the
cholesterol is taken out by the mycoplasma, the red blood cell swells up and doesn't go through, and the
person begins to feel all the aches and pains and all the damage it causes to the brain, the heart, the
stomach, the feet and the whole body because blood and oxygen are cut off.
And that is why people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome have such a terrible time. When the
blood is cut off from the brain, punctate lesions appear because those parts of the brain die. The
mycoplasma will get into portions of the heart muscle, especially the left ventricle, and those cells will die.
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |8
Certain people have cells in the lateral ventricles of the brain that have a genetic predisposition to admit the
mycoplasma, and this causes the lateral ventricles to deteriorate and die. This leads to multiple sclerosis,
which will progress until these people are totally disabled; frequently, they die prematurely. The
mycoplasma will get into the lower bowel, parts of which will die, thus causing colitis. All of these diseases
are caused by the degenerating properties of the mycoplasma.
In early 2000, a gentleman in Sudbury phoned me and told me he had fibromyalgia. He applied for a
pension and was turned down because his doctor said it was all in his head and there was no external
evidence. I gave him the proper form and a vial, and he sent his blood to Dr Simpson to be tested. He did
this with his family doctor's approval, and the results from Dr Simpson showed that only 4% of his red blood
cells were functioning normally and carrying the appropriate amount of oxygen to his poor body, whereas
83% were distended, enlarged and hardened, and wouldn't go through the capillaries without an awful lot of
pressure and trouble. This is the physical evidence of the damage that is done.
ECG Test
You can also ask your doctor to give you a 24-hour Holter ECG. You know, of course, that an
electrocardiogram is a measure of your heartbeat and shows what is going on in the right ventricle, the left
ventricle and so on. Tests show that 100% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia have
an irregular heartbeat. At various periods during the 24 hours, the heart, instead of working happily away
going "bump-BUMP, bump-BUMP", every now and again goes "buhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuh". The
T-wave (the waves are called P, Q, R, S and T) is normally a peak, and then the wave levels off and starts
with the P-wave again. In chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients, the T-wave flattens off, or actually
inverts. That means the blood in the left ventricle is not being squeezed up through the aorta and around
through the body.
My client from Sudbury had this test done and, lo and behold, the results stated: "The shape of T and S-T
suggests left ventricle strain pattern, although voltage and so on is normal." The doctor had no clue as to
why the T-wave was not working properly. I analysed the report of this patient who had been turned down
by Canada Pensions and sent it back to them. They wrote back, saying: "It looks like we may have made a
mistake. We are going to give you a hearing and you can explain this to us in more detail."
So it is not all in your imagination. There is actual physical damage to the heart. The left ventricle muscles
do show scarring. That is why many people are diagnosed with a heart condition when they first develop
fibromyalgia, but it's only one of several problems because the mycoplasma can do all kinds of damage.
You can also ask your doctor for a blood volume test. Every human being requires a certain amount of
blood per pound of body weight, and it has been observed that people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue
syndrome, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses do not have the normal blood volume their body needs to
function properly. Doctors aren't normally aware of this.
This test measures the amount of blood in the human body by taking out 5 cc, putting a tracer in it and then
putting it back into the body. One hour later, take out 5 cc again and look for the tracer. The thicker the blood
and the lower the blood volume, the more tracer you will find.
The analysis of one of my clients stated: "This patient was referred for red cell mass study. The red cell
volume is 16.9 ml per kg of body weight. The normal range is 25 to 35 ml per kg. This guy has 36% less
blood in his body than the body needs to function." And the doctor hadn't even known the test existed.
If you lost 36% of your blood in an accident, do you think your doctor would tell you that you are alright and
should just take up line dancing and get over it? They would rush you to the nearest hospital and start
transfusing you with blood. These tragic people with these awful diseases are functioning with anywhere
from 7% to 50% less blood than their body needs to function.
Biological Weapons testing on Canadian citizens Page |9
The body undoes the damage itself. The scarring in the brain of people with chronic fatigue and
fibromyalgia will be repaired. There is cellular repair going on all the time. But the mycoplasma has moved
on to the next cell.
In the early stages of a disease, doxycycline may reverse that disease process. It is one of the tetracycline
antibiotics, but it is not bactericidal; it is bacteriostatic--it stops the growth of the mycoplasma. And if the
mycoplasma growth can be stopped for long enough, then the immune system takes over.
Doxycycline treatment is discussed in a paper by mycoplasma expert Professor Garth Nicholson, PhD, of
the Institute for Molecular Medicine.15 Dr Nicholson is involved in a US $8-million mycoplasma research
program funded by the US military and headed by Dr Charles Engel of the NIH. The program is studying
Gulf War veterans, 450 of them, because there is evidence to suggest that Gulf War syndrome is another
illness (or set of illnesses) caused by mycoplasma.
