A Different Health Perspective  *

Abnormal Body Temp -  High early on – Subnormal in later years…

Is one of the things that 2-butoxyethanol exposure should be suspect for….

Along with high or low Blood Pressure

High or low Blood Sugar  *

& other hormonal irregularities

Do you have Chronic Fatigue but blood tests are OK?

Do you recall any times of severe flu-like symptoms  more

Or do you recall continuous congestion, cough, sniffles, diarrhea, farting?

Memory loss is one of the most noticeable side effects of CFIDS that

2-butoxyethanol causes

The chemical I am concerned about causes short term memory loss, and that is a stand out harm.  I think it is part of the autoimmune Central Nervous System Issues. 

Central Nervous System Effects:
Difficulty Concentrating
Short Term Memory Loss
Difficulty Sleeping

Constantly Irritable - ANGER outbursts  - 
Paranoia
Depression
Suicidal Tendencies

Mimics True Psychiatric Disorder with strong exposure (Military calls it PTSD?)

Horrible Headaches

and AUTOIMMUNE issues * such as lipid changes, autoimmune metabolic issues – weight issues – belly fat - balance issues (vertigo)  Severe eyesight loss; hearing loss*; brain tumors may start & grow rapidly; loss of taste, smell; periodontal disease

AND FATIGUE that hides out. (look for Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia if 2-butoxyethanol exposure signs are there. AIHA or IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia)

LOOK at red blood cells

&/or grossly misshapen red blood cells  *

(lose the capability to convey oxygen around the body)

    • Enlarged spleen *
    • Elevated RDW
    • RBC 'sticking together?'
    • Fragility of RBC membranes?  AUTOAGGLUTINATION *
    • Elevated 'retic ratio' only at 2.5 days after 'flu' Compensated
    • COOMB's Test?  Skip it
    •  
    • VERY HIGH White Blood Cell Counts (advanced anemia) * *
