Here’s a great article submitted by Jules, member extraordinaire and volunteer nexus letter writer (he’s a Physician’s Assistant). We will never have too much medical (or legal) help doing this so it’s encouraging to see other Vets who have immersed themselves in the medical field come back to help their fellow Veterans attain service connection for what is unarguably one of the hardest to attain due to the cryptogenic nature of the infection.

Buckwheat- This is a very interesting paper I am considering using in a nexus. Found in the Journal of Urology November 2007 Vol. 178, pages 2181-2185. The connection between BPH, prostate cancer and chronic inflammation secondary to HCV, HBV bears further investigation.  Jules

Thank you, Jules- and all of you- who contribute to our cause. You are like ants bringing back pieces of information to the nest. Eventually we’ll have enough to assemble a credible defense for service connection for this insidious disease every time.
