Medical research, chemical warfare

I recall very few angry critics before 1966, but after 1968 they became prevalent. My first head-to-head encounter with a passionate foe of chemical warfare research, medical or otherwise, came when I wrote to C.R.B. Joyce, requesting a reprint of one of his recent articles. Sending complimentary reprints to fellow investigators was an almost universal courtesy. Nevertheless, our exchange was as follows ... [Pg.196]

The Chemical Corps originally established the Chemical Warfare Service (CWS) in 1918, motivated by the horrors of gas warfare that they witnessed during WW I. In 1922, it created a Medical Research Division. Its mission was to defend against chemical agents. [Pg.247]

Two research programs (science and technology base) remain under USAMRMC, one for medical chemical defense and the other for medical biological defense. USAMRMC exercises its responsibility for these programs through the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense for chemical warfare defense and USAMRllD for biological warfare defense (Parker interview, 2001). [Pg.39]

Marie Loden, Pharm., Dr. Med. Sc., Assoc. Professor, is head of Research and Development for the dermatological company ACO Hud AB, in Stockholm, Sweden. She obtained her pharmacist degree in 1980 from Uppsala University, received her doctoral degree in Medical Science in 1995, and began her dermatological research with chemical warfare agents at the National Defense Research Institute. She assumed her present position in 1992. Dr. Loden was appointed associate professor in experimental dermatology at Uppsala University in 2005. [Pg.552]

The chief patent holder of the sweetener is the Monsanto Co., based in St. Louis. In 1967, Monsanto entered into a joint venture with I.G. Farbenfabriken, the aforementioned financial core of the Hitler regime and the key supplier of poison gas to the Nazi racial extermination program. In view of Monsanto s Nazi, chemical warfare ties, and the fact that aspartame is a potent stand-alone poison, NutraSweet is a can of worms unprecedented in the American food industry and casts an extraordinarily long shadow across the integrity of the FDA and the American Medical Association that should have screamed bloody murder over the issue. The history of the product is laden with flawed and fabricated research findings, basically a barrage of blatant lies provided by a battery of independent medical researchers, all of which were used as the basis of FDA approval. [Pg.12]

The post-World War II era ushered in the nuclear age. Some felt the age of chemical warfare was past (Smart, 1997). Events would prove this to be a hasty conclusion. In the USA, research of the G-series agents and medical countermeasures against these agents was accomplished by... [Pg.12]

The Board recommend that OCDM, preferably by contract with an outside research agency of recognized repute, collate and evaluate available data on biological and chemical warfare, and, by the wargaming technique, search for solid projections of typical feasible attacks with these agents against this country in order to determine reasonable estimates of necessary defense equipment, medical, and other supplies for citizens (June 6, 1959). [Pg.72]

According to a conservative estimate of the research activities of the US pharmaceutical industry alone, several millions of new compounds are synthesized every year, approximately 50,000 of which are highly toxic. In the search for medical cures these toxic compounds are of little utility. However, they have one of the key requirements, toxicity, of any potential chemical warfare agent. This does not automatically make them a suitable candidate for this purpose, but since the information on these compounds remains with the companies that first synthesized them, this might provide a very useful resource to tap into in any search for new chemical warfare agents.38 If the utilization of chlorine and phosgene during World War I... [Pg.21]

Mission. The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense is the nation s lead laboratory for research to advance the medical prevention and treatment of chemical warfare casualties. The Institute also has a clinical training mission and conducts the Medical Management of Chemical Casualties Course for health care providers from all armed services. [Pg.271]

The editors wish to thank also Colonel James Little, Commander of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, for his support of the overall initiative. Dr. James King, who steadfastly pushed us in pursuit of scholarly excellence, and the connibutors for submitting their work in a timely fashion and for making the necessary modifications. The Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense is the Army s lead laboratory for the development of medical countermeasures to chemical warfare agents. It functions as a subordinate command of the... [Pg.7]
