Dioxin is the source of the diseases the Veterans Administration has acknowledged as Agent Orange presumptive caused. For those unfamiliar : Operation Ranch Hand during the Vietnam war, sprayed millions of gallons of herbacides onto the countryside.

The presumptive disease list from the V. A. Is as follows:

* AL Amyloidosis

* Chronic B-cell Leukemias

* Chloracne

* Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

* Hodgkin’s Disease

* Ischemic Heart Disease

* Multiple Myeloma

* Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

* Parkinson’s Disease

* Peripheral Neuropathy, Early- Onset

* Porphyria Cutanea Tarda

* Prostate Cancer

* Respiratory Cancers

* Soft Tissue Sarcomas

* Bladder cancer

* Hypothyroidism

* Parkinsonism

And dioxin was only a trace contaminant in the Agent Orange defoliant!
