(Jerusalem Post) Aaron Reich - What was previously believed to be the result of acoustic attacks on U.S. and Canadian diplomats in Cuba, the "Havana Syndrome," is now thought to be the result of pesticides, according to a new study by Dr. Alon Friedman of Ben-Gurion University and the Dalhoisie University Brain Repair Center in Nova Scotia, Canada. In 2017, U.S. and Canadian diplomats in Cuba began to report a diverse array of health problems, including loss of balance, lack of sleep, difficulties in concentration and memory retention, and headaches. Using 26 Canadian participants, the study identified the specific regions of the brain involved. "We followed the science," said Dr. Friedman. "Pinpointing the exact location of where the brain was injured was an important factor that helped lead us to perform specific biochemical and toxicological blood tests and reach the conclusion that the most likely cause of the injury was repeated exposure to neurotoxins." 2019-09-20 00:00:00Full Article
