Headaches ... the sniffles ... ?  Maybe something serious - 

Please pray
Please pray for Boy-age-11. He is such a talented fellow ... well-liked by everyone.  Baby wants to kiss him & hug him more than anyone else she loves.  The cat will sleep with him ... but not with others.
 
He is short for his age, but makes most of the basketballs in the basketball games just ending.  He minds his mother, does his chores ...
 
I am concerned about the headache that has appeared & is causing him extreme pain.  His forehead is burning hot & his eyes hurt to move them.  He doesn't have a fever, but his forehead is where his head hurts.  He has had this horrible headache for 2 days, he told me.
 
We just had a 14 year old girl in our town, Gwen, with a very large cancerous brain tumor behind her eye.  She has completed 2 surgeries & the doctors think they got it all after the second surgery (Local doctors diagnosed it as 'lazy eye')
 
There was a 10 year old boy, Zach, in Anchorage who died last year of a benign colloid cyst.  He had a horrible headache & was found dead one morning. 
 
I put my hand on Boy-age-11's forehead & prayed for him silently tonight, but am asking for your prayers, too.  Of course, I didn't mention my other concerns to his parents as people already think I'm an alarmist & do not want to hear about chemical exposure possibilities (2-butoxyethanol)
 
Boy-age-11 has a cousin who is VERY small for his age and has had many, many severe headaches.  I don't think this is normal & I'm concerned for his cousin, too.
 
I wonder where he was when his headaches first started?  He spent Saturday with his grandma ...maybe more than one day ... & she has been traveling a lot - got back recently. (picked up the dog from its caregiver - what went on in the dog's temporary home?)
 
I've seen people come down with diabetes in one day ... come down with the fatigue of this chemical:  2-butoxyethanol (autoimmune hemolytic anemia) in one day. It is very prevalent in our society and it is possible to get exposed 'second hand'
 
.... so maybe other things it causes, like tumors and cysts, the same?  I suspect it is a primary cause of brain tumors (all types) ... and headaches   

(Later heard that the rest of the family having stuffiness in sinuses & 'the headaches' too)  If this is an autoimmune attack, maybe Manna Bears or Glyco Bear kids 'vitamins' would help?

Requested Prayer... & got these replies

Watch out! for EGBE
Carol, "Jerry has been sick for a week also, with very bad headaches, fever, stuffy nose and now it's a cough ... something going around.. I don't think what Boy-age11 has is serious.. but will be praying.. blessings."  5-15-06
"Time for me to lay down this study ...  Other things I should be doing"
Carol shares: 
Sounds like a good word, I'm glad you got to go to the Aglow Retreat.

I took Jerry to the Dr. yesterday.. said he might have a deep sinus infection and started him on anti-biotics for a few days.. If it isn't getting better in a couple of days ..he needs to go back and have a cat scan on head.. He sleeps good at night and eats good. no stomach disorder, just a bad headache.. HE had a runny nose, so that's why the Dr. said it might be a sinus infection. They checked him over pretty good, but didn't take any blood work.. He is on Medicare now.. turned 65 on Mothers Day.. I think he gets depressed thinking about his age.
My reply to Aglow friend, Carol:
Runny nose?  Horrible Headaches ... more?
 
I would suspect the 2-butoxyethanol chemical
 
... headache ... Sniffles & flatulence?
 
Doctors don't check for blood in urine & look at red blood cells ... Are they ragged and beat up?
 
Blood sugar? (sometimes another clue)
 
 
 What have you been doing differently?
Any new pets or people around?
"I think it's something going around. A lot of people in our church are having the same symptoms.. The Dr. thinks it's sinus.. hubby hasn't been out to the airport in awhile so no chemicals from there, just been staying at home and working in yard. Today we are having some logging done.. nothing different.. no pets."
My reply to Carol:
The EGBE could be in the air  
 

What are the pulp mills doing?  What are you downwind of?

 
They may be putting this chemical in the air as part of the manufacturing process ... or doing something on one of the boats?

People who are maxed out on such a chemical,

could have a response, while others don't

Keep track of these others ... see what happens to them in the future.  Have them do the questionnaire for CFIDS & share it with their doctors (Notice that depression is part of the symptoms)

I think those who get the same exposure, come down with the same complications ...  Have you heard of Morgellan's Disease?  Maybe something in the air down TX, CA way?

 
May I share these thoughts? ... in a web page

?  I do recognize the 2-butoxyethanol chemical

What does EGBE do?

EGBE should be considered for Overwhelming FATIGUE

EPA Removed all restrictions on 2-butoxyethanol emissions * in about 2003

due to lobbying of the Chemical Industry 

Does EPA think EGBE is no big deal? *  My letter to EPA 

EPA has delisted_2-Butoxyethanol as a chemical of Concern? 

(This chemical & it's double strength tested by EPA as an endocrine disruptor chemical)

Experience_with_simple_green  We are a chemically poisoned people

EGBE    -    EGBE Exposure Example      What else does 2-butoxyeathanol do?

What should 2-Butoxyethanol Product Warnings be?   Why not Corexit? 

   Wonder of wonders! The 2-butoxyethanol family of chemicals are Teratogens - They harm the developing fetus

2-butoxyethanol is a Teratogen - Causes Reproductive Harm  *

I suspect any autoimmune metabolic dysfunction - if the pattern is there

or in the family line ... from WWII especially... to the present

Autism, Leukodystrophies, Diabetes, Obesity ... even if 'late to show up'

overweight-metabolic

Damage to Sperm  causes-ED?  have-a-healthy-baby

NIOSH

Even tumors that are blamed on smoking or asbestos

mesothelioma-anothercause

Brain tumors?  Not from metastasizing as is commonly thought ... just from a chemical exposure that targets multiple body systems, organs & glands all at the same time
