UK Journalist Visits Syria, Local Doc Tells Him Douma Victims Suffered From Oxygen Starvation, Not ‘Chem Attack’

The oxygen starvation was as a result of a dust storm blowing dust into the underground “rubbish-filled tunnels and basements in which they lived.”

The Russian disinformation campaign is getting more creative. They should have their wordsmiths out writing the next War and Peace.

Of course they were starved for oxygen! Stupid Doctor!

Content Background: How Does Nerve Gas Affect the Body?

If a person is exposed to a high dose of nerve gas1, death ensues within minutes. Death is produced by respiratory arrest. With lower levels of exposure, fatalities can still occur within the first 24 hours. The victim will suffer many effects prior to succumbing by respiratory arrest. These include, intense constriction of the pupils (miosis) and severe eye pain, constriction of the bronchioles producing labored breathing, nausea and vomiting, lacrimation (tearing), salivation, sweating, urination, defecation, (basically everything oozes out!) and muscle twitching leading to muscle paralysis. Signs that the nerve gas gets into the brain include; anxiety, confusion, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures and respiratory depression. Death is usually the result of respiratory failure. This occurs by 2 routes. The nerve gas acts directly on the diaphragm (smooth muscle) to paralyze it and it also inhibits the firing rate of neurons in an area of the brainstem that controls breathing. This area is called the respiratory center and it contains neurons that send their axons to the diaphragm to cause muscle contraction, and thus, breathing. After chronic exposure to low levels of nerve gas, victims suffer from a variety of neurological and mental disorders including; depression, insomnia, loss of memory, mental confusion and cognitive problems. This was typical in US soldiers exposed to nerve gas in Iraq during the dismantling of chemical weapons after the Gulf War.

"Which version of events are we to believe?"

Those who were the kind of children who picked their noses and flipped boogers on their siblings will believe the enemy's version. Many of them are on drugs, and they are addicted to bothering others.

The Independent has also published some hysterical agitation propaganda for the Paleostinians against Israel in the past.

I have know a lot of people who suffered from oxygen deprivation. But, that was because I considered them to not be all there.

Actually........it’s about right calling it OXYGEN Starvation....that’s what these gases cause. Also why foaming at the mouth as the lungs fill up with large quanities of mucus. ....they drown in their own fluids..
