Have Researchers From Other Countries Found A Link Between Agent Orange And Muscular Dystrophy?

Is there any known research showing a connectiion between Agent Orange and muscular dystrophy? Are there any test which have been done by researchers from other countries outside of the United States ,who have done test on Agent Orange as well?. The reason why I am asking this question is because I suffer with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. I served with the Third Marine Division, First Marines, Fourth Battalion, D Company. As a mortarman in 60 mortars. I was in Viet Nam from August 14, 1968 to September 3, 1969. I was exposed to Agent Orange while in serving in combat in the field. In Corps I this was the second heaviest place sprayed with Agent Orange, besides Corps III. I was not born with this disease, nor was anyone else in my family.
I had the EMG'S, biopsy and blood test for neuromuscular problems. Tests showed nerve and muscle atropy problems.

I would appreciate your response. I hope this is detailed enough for you.

First of all, let me thank you for your service to our glorious country. My Father served in Viet Nam by the Perfume River and he recently got full disability from the VA for his exposure to agent orange. He has prostate cancer and cancer in his bones. It was through talking to a friend over this last year that he found out he might could be compensated for it. Contact your local Amvets office and see if you can get a representative to go between you and the VA.
There were other agents used there such as agent purple that you may want to check into. The web is a marvelous way of finding all this good stuff out. Let me start you off with this website, and then look into the different agents that they used. Good luck my man!

Also, I found this today...perhaps it will lead you where you need to go:

Agent Orange and Parkinson's
I received this info today and am passing it on.......

I am a retired/E-7 who spent 3 tours in Vietnam and to all Vietnam veterans I ask support in getting the following information out to all. There is a group called 鈥淰ietnam veterans with Agent Orange/Parkinson鈥檚鈥?that has intensely researched and sought support from their congressmen and senators. We have congressmen Tim Walz of Minnesota and Bob Filner of California, (chairman of the Veterans Affairs committee) that have drawn up a bill to place Parkinson鈥檚 on the presumptive list of diseases caused by Agent Orange. Please have all who have Parkinson鈥檚 that served in the nam- notify their congressmen and senators to please support the bill that will be coming out September 4, 2007. For more information please contact Steve Fiscus email swfiscus@msn.com. Please harmony in good health to all fellow Vietnam veterans.
