Actual military warnings

Alaska holds the key to understanding 'gulf war syndrome' There were 1000 young men who were 'bioremediation' workers and there were also numerous US Coast Guard young men who oversaw the experiment. The exposure these have in common is glycol ether: the most commonly used glycol either being 2-butoxyethanol. Have questions? Ask me. Some of the list of ailments are exposures; others are THE anemia doctors are looking for for those with CFIDS, CFS, FM or any of the myriad of AUTOIMMUNE issues.

These two groups of workers will look alike. Our Nation wants better health? Disclose all forms of glycol ether in all products and AVOID it.

The FLU is more probably caused by glycol ether exposure than by any virus. Understand 'the look' of glycol ether exposure & you will have a different view of medicine. Diabetes is a side effect. High white blood cell counts are indicative of advance anemia: not an infection as is generally thought.

Symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome  Gulf War Syndrome Symptoms  *

Seem the same as those of

Exxon Valdez oil spill * *  cleanup workers  LA Times Article 

This chemical won't do just one thing - If you only have one health issue, and/or your parent doesn't have 'the odd assortment of CFIDS symptoms,' don't suspect 2-butoxyethanol poisoning.

Compare EVOS Robin to Gulf War Vet Donny

Suspect Dec 1997 exposure

Research Advisory Committee on GWV concludes 11-17-08

Glycol Ether Exposure 'looks like' the flu
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/flu/swine/glycolether.htm

Most of the time, flu is caused by a chemical exposure NOT a virus *

Most probable cause of  'the flu' *  HELLP Syndrome & Autism:

... exposure to glycol butyl ether  * *

ALL glycol ether in any products should be disclosed *  Tell Congress!

What would be of interest to cardiologists regarding a patient's exposure to glycol ether?  *

Effects on Heart  * heart

 

What are the glycol ethers?  *  *

Glycol: any of a class of organic chemicals characterized by having separate two hydroxyl (-OH) groups, contribute to high water solubility, hygroscopicity and reactivity with many organic compounds, on usually linear and aliphatic carbon chain. The general formula is CnH2n(OH)2 or (CH2)n(OH)2.

2-Butoxy Ethanol is unquestionably Health Hazardous  *

 

 Gulf War (1991)  * * 148 died + 195,000 with 'the syndrome'

What kind of things are autoimmune? *

Fatigue? *

Bones Stiff?
Do you know what is in the medications you take?  *

 

Maybe we need other help?
