One of 32
I happen to be one of those 32 that have gone before the BVA and had them say that "Yes, your MDS was caused by exposure to AO.
There were a number of the finest MDS doctors in the world that in 2010 were willing to tell the Institute of Medicine that AO causes MDS. They belong to a well-known foundation and were shut down by the Board of Directors of that foundation for fear of retribution from the government.
I testified in 2010 before the IOM in Chicago and presented 1,000's of pages of documentation to them and the outcome was basically a single paragraph that said "NO!"
Many of us worked long and hard with that foundation, which will remain unnamed, only to be betrayed at the last minute. In fact, I arrived in Chicago the day before the IOM conference only then to find out they were not going to present the document which I had helped write and edit.
