Your friend is very lucky to have a friend like you Keith to care for him. The military has long experimented on their soldiers with or with out their consent. And is it ever fully informed consent anyway? It is also obvious that the VA is grossly under funded (like many government departments and agencies) and I can only conclude that they really do just want everyone to **** off and die as it would make things run so much easier for them*. A cost effective solution for them. I'm sure there are good doctors somewhere in the system but whether one ever gets to be in contact with them is often the luck of the draw. And there are certainly black one's in there too.
I am not a medical doctor so I cannot give any medical advice. However, many conditions and illnesses are caused or exacerbated by poor nutrition. Modern agricultural practices have also depleted the soil of many trace elements and fruit and vegetables are not as nutritious as it was generations ago. Peter Lemkin may have more to say here as this is his area. Most medically trained doctors do little time, as little as 4 hours in their whole course, on nutrition and health. Pharmaceutical companies want to push their products rather than have patients easily and cheaply improve their health by improving their diets so there is not much research from big pharma into this and they tend to trivialise what there is and the doctors which take an interest in it. You may find something of interest here http://orthomolecular.org/resources/pract.shtml#us I am assuming that you and your friend are on limited incomes because of your circumstances. You could try a clinic from a reputable Naturopathy training college near you. They do lots of study into nutrition and their students have to complete some hours before they can qualify and they are supervised by their teachers. Or you can negotiate with one in private practice to see you for free or reduced rates. Though my experience of natural health practitioners is that they can be every bit as money oriented and sell themselves to the wealthy as doctors so it is a case by case basis you need to negotiaite. Dr Mercola's website is very informative and he is a reputable doctor too. Maybe he can refer you to some one near your friend. Plus do all the usual good health things like get plenty of sleep and rest, balanced regular meals using whole food ingredients, no caffeine or cola or other stimulants, no sugar, no alcohol, plenty of water and exercise and something useful or meaningful to do in his spare time, a hobby or community work or classes or similar.
Even if your friend is not a victim of some black ops doctor and their experiement(s) one could send oneself crazy thinking about it. If you start from the premise that they are doing something to him it would be good to get a brand new doctor who doesn't know him from Adam and not let them refer him to anyone as he could still be in their system. Get some real independent advice, preferably two or more, about the medicines they have him on and if they are needed at all and if they are needed if alternatives exist.
* While I was in the military one of the members of my unit was in an abseiling accident. It left him pretty much a vegetable and requiring high levels of medical and nursing care and life long maintenance. He was also a young man in his 20's when it happened. There was much whinging by some in the office about this man and his ever growing file and costs and work associated with it all. Some even saying that it would have been so much better for all (in the department) if he had just died.
