In this episode, Dr. Nancy Klimas and Retired Sergeant First Class Jimmy Arocho join host Haylie Pomroy to discuss Gulf War Syndrome's lasting impact on veterans. Dr. Klimas details the toxic exposures during the Gulf War, such as pesticides, sarin gas, and oil fires, leading to chronic illnesses in a third of the deployed US veterans.

Jimmy Arocho shares his firsthand experiences and the awareness of these health hazards among ex-soldiers. His journey from a veteran to an advocate for Gulf War Syndrome sufferers highlights the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment.

Jimmy Arocho also emphasizes the PACT Act's role in supporting affected veterans and the ongoing research and treatment efforts at the Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine.
