Why does a body become Autoimmune?

 

"Autoimmune diseases are a disorder where the immune system is in a constant hyperactive state, perceiving body tissues or organs as the undesirable enemy. Immune systems in such hyperactive state would pick on a body organ or tissue and try to destroy it.

Examples of autoimmune disorders or diseases with an autoimmune component are: Crohn's, Lupus, Diabetes, Endometriosis, Psoriasis, Ulcerative colitis, Myxodema, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Scleroderma, Fibromyalgia, Hashimotos, Grave's, Allergies."
I believe many other things 'get the blame' for what 2-butoxyethanol does.  From what I've learned about it, it is the primary cause of many things and seems to get the blame for absolutely nothing.
The autoimmune causing chemical exposure is glycol ether

Exposure looks like 'the flu'

with a lesser exposure being flatulence, diarrhea
'the sniffles' ... loosening of the sinuses and the bowels

Many things are autoimmune - Glycol ether exposure causes many autoimmune issues

Thank you for the CD

I think a good project is to compare the health of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers who sprayed the beaches with 2-butoxyethanol to that of the gulf war vets 'with syndrome'

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 glycol ether  poisoning. (2-butoxyethanol being the most commonly used glycol ether)

Compare EVOS Robin to Gulf War Vet Donny

Suspect Dec 1997 exposure

 

Is there hard to find FATIGUE?  Seizures can be from lack of oxygen

Often in Crohn's there is autoimmune hemolytic anemia:  AIHA or IMHA

2-butoxyethanol causes these. (Other glycol ethers, too?)

The CFIDS pattern is http://www.valdezlink.com/re/shareharmglycolether2.htm

a brain tumor?"  *

Consider exposure to a glycol ether for cause of 'the flu'  *

a harm to our VETS & civilians, too

 

How to stop the Immune System from Being AUTOIMMUNE

"One of the most important discoveries in health and disease of the last 10 years or so, may be that the production of the sugars that the body requires to form glycoproteins (cellular messenger molecules) is quite ATP intensive, ADP intensive, vitamin/mineral dependant, and enzyme dependant."

Would Nutrition for Cells help?

Parkinson's is an Autoimmune issue
