to the first names author of The Lancet p.106 Jan. 14, 1978 who was offered a laboratory by East Germany and treated all manner of people at the US VA Hospital at Fort Hamilton. The US still can't treat the cause of causalgia. As an added aside we will toss in a previously unknow pathology in cases of ALS that will enable Pakistan to treat and/or cure ALS . Ordinary people will be treated for free and spies and elected officials and others will be charged millions or more.
If Pakastan's spy apparatus is any good they will be able to obtain the federal personnel file and other records of the author of The Lancet supra. If they are lazy just sent the messenger and agent to 1063 Hempstead Turnpike Franklin Square.

The political party of the former cricket star Imran Khan on Wednesday
identified a man it described as the C.I.A.’s top spy in Pakistan, in an
escalation of Mr. Khan’s campaign to end American drone strikes in the
country.

In a letter to the Pakistani police, Mr. Khan’s information secretary,
Shireen Mazari, accused the C.I.A. director, John O. Brennan, along with
a man identified as the agency’s Islamabad station chief, of
“committing murder and waging war against Pakistan.”
In Washington, a C.I.A. spokesman declined to comment on the case.
Ms. Mazari demanded that the authorities prevent the station chief,
whose identity has not yet been confirmed, from leaving the country so
that he could face prosecution in a Pakistani court.
That seems unlikely, but the move is expected to infuriate American
officials, who had to recall a previous C.I.A. station chief in 2010
after he was identified in the local news media, also in relation to a
legal suit brought by anti-drone campaigners.
But while blame for that outing was placed on smoldering tensions
between the C.I.A. and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence spy
agency, this time it appears to be driven more by Mr. Khan’s
increasingly confrontational stance against drone strikes.
In an appearance on a television talk show on Wednesday evening, Mr.
Khan said he had named the station chief essentially to punish the
C.I.A. for a deadly drone strike this month in the province his Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf party controls, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Now, he said, it
was up to the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to take the next
step against the American spy agency.
He has vowed to block NATO supply lines into Afghanistan in retaliation for the Nov. 1 drone strike that killed the leader of the Pakistani Taliban,
Hakimullah Mehsud. On Saturday, his supporters moved to deliver on that
promise by searching trucks and roughing up drivers as they passed
through Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on the way to Afghanistan.
In her letter on Wednesday, Ms. Mazari claimed that the station chief
did not enjoy diplomatic immunity, and suggested that if interrogated by
the police he might divulge the names of the pilots who fly the drones.
The high-profile attempt to obstruct C.I.A. operations in Pakistan was said to be a response to the Nov. 21 drone strike that struck a seminary
linked to the Haqqani network, a Taliban-affiliated militant group at
the center of American security concerns in Afghanistan. The strike,
which killed the Haqqanis’ spiritual leader and five others, occurred in
the Hangu district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, in a rare drone strike
outside Pakistan’s tribal areas.
Mr. Khan has been a leading advocate of ceasing military action against
the Pakistani Taliban, even though Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has been the
region hardest hit by Islamist violence this year, with hundreds killed
in attacks. The Taliban also broke out many prisoners in an embarrassing
and well-organized jailbreak in July.
Mr. Khan has used the drone issue to leverage his popularity against Mr.
Sharif, who is his main electoral competitor in Punjab Province, and
indeed has largely succeeded in framing the political debate on drones
in recent years.
Some Sharif supporters criticized Mr. Khan for trying to score political
points by outing the station chief. “This a thoughtless move,” said
Siddiqul Farooq, a central leader of the governing Pakistan Muslim
League party. “It is selfish and compromises the national interest.”
Since the escalation of the C.I.A.’s drone war in Pakistan in 2008, the
Islamabad station has grown to become one of the spy agency’s largest
outposts in the world. The agency’s expansion in Pakistan has been an
irritant to America’s relations with Pakistan.
The influence of the C.I.A.’s Islamabad station chief has sometimes
eclipsed even that of the American ambassador in Pakistan. A previous
station chief clashed repeatedly in 2011 with Cameron Munter, the
ambassador at the time, over the intensity of the drone campaign. The
Obama administration ended up siding with the C.I.A., and Mr. Munter’s
tenure was cut short.
