My name is Chris Crawford I am a herbalist and a new author for Agent Orange Legacy

I am writing this to introduce myself to the Agent Orange community. I am a Gulf War and OIF veteran. I served just over 7 years split from 1989 to 1991 then again from 2004 to 2008 with two trips to Iraq. As a combat veteran I have been diagnosed with TBI, PTSD, Gulf War Syndrome and a long list of other medical issues. While I was still in the Army and for almost a year after I got out I was on 18 pills mostly narcotics for pain that took me almost a year to wean myself off of. The purpose of me writing on this Blog will be to help those who want a safer more natural way to treat them self and to help people learn ways to use herbs in place of medications.. I am not a doctor and anything I suggest and talk about should be discussed with your doctor before starting so not to cause drug interactions. Many of the things I will talk about on here will be to help general heath and to boost the body naturally and safely and if there is any concern about taking with medications I will make sure and note (should be discussed with your doctor before taking).

My father served in the Navy during the end of Vietnam so Working with those with Agent Orange and to be asked to write for this Blog is something I consider a privilege . As a veteran I find myself feeling obligated to share my herbal knowledge to my fellow vets so that they can also enjoy a better drug free quality of life. I currently do not have a blog or a web page, baby steps is where I am at and working here for you is a good start for me. In time I hope to have my own web page and blog but till then you can find me on Facebook and Google+. Links to my profiles are below.
