(NaturalNews) Veterans' appeals for government assistance in post-service health problems have finally resulted in the U.S. House and Senate calling for immediate research on radioactive metals used in armor and weapons.

Published research shows uranium binds to DNA and causes cell mutation, leading to an increase in cancer and birth deformities in soldiers and Middle Eastern civilians who were exposed to the substance, which is used in tanks and munitions.

A Gulf War veteran who handled uranium cleanup, Doug Rokke, stated that soldiers are not trained to handle the radioactive material safely and that "medical care has been willfully denied to a majority of DU casualties who are supposed to receive care."

Lori Brim, a mother of a young soldier who died from severe cancer, uncovered medical and political controversies that posed links between depleted uranium (DU) munitions and ailments in soldiers. Military officials have refused to admit any links between uranium exposure and disease. The soldier's body would provide conclusive evidence of DU contamination, but the mother has not elected to have her son exhumed yet.

Senator Lieberman is pushing for the government study on depleted uranium (DU) and believes scientific advances may provide "a more accurate and definitive answer to possible links to adverse health."
