It's quite simple.
Unfortunately, Rosalie Bertell is no longer alive, but her team continues to do her work. They are continuing her research. I had the opportunity to communicate with her by email. I wrote to her, and to my surprise, she wrote back herself. She told me that she had repeatedly provided reports on uranium poisoning to the Canadian government, but no attention was paid to them.
As I said earlier, she advised me to drink large quantities of distilled water, precisely to slow the degenerative process caused by depleted uranium poisoning. She told me that when you first breathe in radioactive dust, it finds a home in the pulmonary alveoli before moving into the blood stream. If the army had given me dialysis within the first six months after my Bosnia mission, I would still be healthy enough to serve my country today. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. My blood was not filtered.
Depleted uranium, like mercury and the other heavy metals, does not eliminate itself from the body. Over time, it settles in the bone marrow. And that's when you start to see serious effects on the immune system and the reproductive system. I told her that I used to be fertile, that I had, in fact, impregnated someone, but that I was now completely and irreversibly sterile. I asked her if she thought my sterility could be attributed solely to uranium, and she said yes. She even said that contaminated regions like Iraq had tremendous birth-related problems.
She told me that the abnormally high number of cancer and leukemia cases in Sarajevo could also be attributed to uranium. She said that depleted uranium warheads are extremely dangerous as they make their way to the ground, even if they don't explode. When uranium is in the ambient air—and Dr. Morisset's report makes no mention of this—it has a very high level of corrosion. It corrodes very quickly and the metal turns into dust fast. That radioactive dust can then travel wherever the wind blows. It just so happened that I breathed in that dust.
When I asked her why I was more infected than others, her answer was that even though four people may drink six beers each, they all have different levels of alcohol contamination. Unfortunately, I have a delicate constitution as far as radioactivity goes; I react more strongly than others. It does more damage to my system than theirs. She also told me that, because I had been so sick in the jungle—I actually contracted either Lyme disease or dengue, or both, I can't recall anymore— it totally weakened my immune system, allowing the uranium to keep me in very poor health.
