Travis S. Owen - Disease and Illnesses

This is a active list of what Travis had over the years. First started with Diabetes Mellitus Type ll. Then everything progressed from there. 8 years after discharge he had a minor stroke, and during our time together he had two heart attacks. On his VA Medical files it shows him having Ischemic Heart Disease,  but it’s also Congestive Heart Failure, which is one on the list of diseases for Agent Orange, Diabetes is another one. Travis had 3 illnesses that are on the list. But even though he had 3 of them, all the others are secondary to the main illnesses and diseases. So in other words the heart disease contributed to the liver failure, etc. When you have one organ that is bad, it basically causes a chain reaction to the other organs, since they all work together in supplying blood. So when one goes bad, they all do.

The VA denied his connection to Agent Orange not once, but twice. Now I have hired an attorney to help me fight his case.

Here is Travis’ list, 19 of them. Makes you wonder how he survived as long as he did, doctors said he should have been dead years ago.
