I received a rather strange report about possible medical experiments being preformed on Guantanamo prison detainees under the guise ofmalaria treatment, back in 2003 and 2004 that I initiallydiscounted as not very credible. However further information seems to suggest that something fishywas in fact going on here... The Pentagon, of course, denied the allegation at the time and thenrefused comment - so I did not report it. However, a friend who happens to be a physician, sent us aninteresting link to a story he said has a "tie in" tothat earlier incident when allegations were made about the strangevaccines for malaria the detainees were given. According to an OpEd News report by investigative journalistJeffrey Kaye : "In January 2002, the Department of Defense deliberatelydecided that all incoming detainees at Guantanamo would be given afull treatment dose of the controversial antimalarial drug mefloquine , also known as Lariam. The purpose was supposedly to control for apossible malaria outbreak, in deference to concerns from Cubanofficials. But specialists in malaria prevention have said theyhave never heard of such presumptive treatment for malaria bymefloquine in this type of situation. Furthermore, a summary ofantimalarial measures at Guantanamo given to Army and Center forDisease Control (CDC) medical officials at a February 19, 2002,meeting of the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board failed todescribe the mefloquine procedure approved a month earlier."(see article: Guantanamo Connection? Documents Show CIA Stockpiled Antimalaria Drugs as "Incapacitating Agents articles/Guantan amo-Connection-Doc-by-Jeffrey-Ka... ). VOMITING, DIZZINESS , HEAD ACHES... Mefloquine, according to medical websites, is used to treat malaria(a serious infection that is spread by mosquitoes in certain partsof the world and can cause death) and to prevent malaria intravelers who visit areas where malaria is common. Mefloquine is in a class of medications called antimalarials. Itworks basically by killing the organisms that cause malaria. However the drug does have some very serious side effects. For example, people on the drug tend to vomit alot…mefloquine may make you drowsy and dizzy, and themanufacturer advises people not to operate machinery while doped upon the drug... These symptoms may continue for a while after you stop takingmefloquine. UNUSUAL DREAMS, STOMACH PAINS, LOSS OF APPETITE… People on mefloquine experience a host of strange side effectsincluding, but not limited to the following: • nausea • vomiting • diarrhea • stomach pain • loss of appetite • muscle pain • dizziness • loss of balance • ringing in ears • headache • sleepiness • difficulty falling or staying asleep • unusual dreams Some side effects can be very serious. SEIZURES, DEPRESSION, NERVOUSNESS… The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any ofthem, they advise you to call your doctor immediately and/or toseek medical care in the hospital: • tingling in your fingers or toes • difficulty walking • seizures • shaking of arms or legs that you cannot control • nervousness or extreme worry • depression • changes in mood • panic attack • forgetfulness • confusion • hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do notexist) • violent behavior • losing touch with reality • feeling that others want to harm you • thoughts of hurting or killing yourself • rash SLEEPLESSNESS, DIFFICULTY WALKING… Symptoms of overdose include: • nausea • vomiting • diarrhea • stomach pain • dizziness • loss of balance • headache • sleepiness • difficulty falling or staying asleep • unusual dreams • tingling in your fingers or toes • difficulty walking • seizures • changes in mental health Was mefloquine used at Guantanamo to induce a state of"learned helplessness" in detainees? Were experimentsconducted on "adverse side effects" of mefloquine onthe prisoners held there as part of subtle mind control efforts? Wemay never know for sure. No one I talked to can actually say one way or another. The storyseems weird enough that we should probably continue to look into itfurther. Robert Tilford.
