Now Recruiting: Gulf War Illness Dietary Intervention

We are currently recruiting participants locally and nationally for a large confirmatory clinical trial testing a dietary intervention as a treatment for Gulf War Illness. If you were deployed in the 1990-1991 Gulf War and are currently experiencing widespread symptoms, you may be eligible for this study. All information and data collected is kept confidential, and benefits will not be affected. Compensation for travel and stipends are given.
