The Institute for Molecular Medicine (www.immed.org) announces publication of Project Day Lily (http://www.projectdaylily.com), a true story based on the events surrounding the "Gulf War Syndrome” suffered by over 150,000 veterans (and tens of thousands dead) without proper acknowledgment or treatment to keep secret the origin of their illnesses.
Were our Armed Forces exposed to chemical and biological toxins that were supplied, in part, by a sinister network of rogue bureaucrats, intelligence operatives and scientists?
This is the story of
how one of these biological agents was found by two American scientists as part
of a massive testing program in the military and prisons and how various
academic and government employees did everything in their power to keep this
information secret.
The microbe they found hides inside cells and causes all sorts of chronic signs
and symptoms, similar to what one would see with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis and other
diseases.
The events described are true, and the scientific principles discussed in the book and have been documented in the authors’ publications, reports and sworn testimony to Presidential Commissions and committees of the U. S. Congress.
Some comments on the book:
Being a health professional for
40 years, I have always held scientific research and discovery in respect.
However, since personally experiencing the ravages of a chronic Mycoplasma
infection, receiving help and guidance from the Nicolsons over the past 10 years
and in turn helping others, I now have a slightly different perspective. The
Nicolsons are great storytellers of intrigue and menace in the scientific
research world. Breaking the mold of traditional suspense novels, Project Day
Lily is based on fact--many facts of which I can attest. The book is
simultaneously intelligent and believable. It is intricately layered with
remarkable research and detail from the opening pages to the conclusion. It is
a fascinating, absorbing, eye-opening page-turner. Project Day Lily has alerted
me of the danger that public policy could easily become the captive of the
scientific technologically elite. I suspect that it may be happening more than
any of us would want to know. And God help those of us who are
unsuspecting victims!

In "Project Day Lily" the
Nicolsons tell their personal saga that is
intertwined with major events and forces in recent American
history. This linear narrative testifies about
the strength of authors' perceptions and convictions.
It is also a story of transformation of a
couple of scientists into advocates for causes that they believe in
so deeply.

This is a saga of two
researchers in pursuit of the truth who were pulled into the black hole of
treacherous global affairs and politics and their excruciating struggles for
survival. How many more Galileos and Darwins will have to suffer? Their
chronicle keeps a reader in suspense from the beginning to the end. I cannot
wait for a film version of it.
Tae H. Ji, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry
and Molecular Biology, University of Kentucky
I received the very first draft
and read it with increasing amazement as I was going along. I knew Garth
Nicolson from his days at the Salk Institute and knew he was (is) of sound
mind. The implications, medical and political, of what is revealed in "Project
Day Lily" are major. If you are interested in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Fibromyalgia, or the problems of our Veterans with Gulf War Syndrome, you will
want to read this book, think, and wonder.
Roger Guillemin, M.D., Ph.D.,
Distinguished Professor, Nobel Laureate in Medicine, The Salk Institute
During the first Gulf Conflict, Operation Desert Storm, nearly every level of
government, the military, and the American people assumed that Iraq had
completely failed to deploy or initiate the use of biological weapons. Leading
up to the war, I directed the military component of a joint biological detection
project with scientist from Stanford Research Institute. At the conclusion of
the combat, even after being presented with evidence that suggested biological
agents had indeed found their way to the battlefield, I dismissed the reports of
Gulf War Illness. That is, until soldiers in my command and their families
developed illnesses that could only be attributed to their service in the Gulf
or their association with people and material that had been returned from Iraq.
In my search for the truth, I met Dr. Garth Nicolson. He was a lone, and much
maligned, voice in the quest for a cure. Project Day Lily is a riveting and
profound essay on what really happened. It’s time the public knew.
