On American Greed program end of December, 2010 Pfizer was looking for a money maker to fill their diminishing coffers ... and looked to this not so great pain reliever which was found to cause stroke and heart attack early on ... and wasn't that good at helping with pain, either (more than interested in research; they were interested in MARKETING to doctors who would prescribe for their patients).  They advised salesmen to infer to doctors that the product would be helpful for off-label uses and that if a little helped, more was better (suggesting doctors could prescribe more for their patients).  After a lawsuit, Pfiser had to pay the largest penalty in history... larger than that for ENRON:  2.5 billion, but it only amounted to 3 days of profit for the company. And just more label warnings required by FDA?  I think the FDA SHOULD BE RECALLED

"Bextra, also known as valdecoxib, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID utilized to alleviate swelling, inflammation, and pain. It is mostly used to treat maladies such as arthritis, including osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Because it is an NSAID, it should not be taken by anyone who is allergic to this type of medication."

"Bextra was approved by the FDA on November 20, 2001, and is distributed commercially by prescription in tablet form up until 2005, which was the year it was recalled and removed from stores due to fears about increased chances of having a stroke or heart attack while under Bextra treatment."

"The most common side effects for Bextra include stomach bleeding, flatulence, abdominal pain, insomnia, diarrhea, nausea, and headache. Other rarer side effects include weakness of the body, fainting, flu-like symptoms, stomach and intestinal ulcers, bleeding, blurred vision, anxiety, fluid retention, deafness, drowsiness, ringing in the ears, weight gain, worsening of pre-existing hypertension, chest pain, kidney failure, and photosensitivity."

Exposure to glycol ether (causing 'chemical' flu) causes multiple autoimmune issues, cancers, ANEMIA; things like 'CFIDS' Gulf war syndrome:

Flu symptoms may also be:  Exposure to Glycol Ether + 'the anemia' Glycol Ether Causes *

Gulf War Syndrome Symptoms  <--link

... and how many glycol ethers were the gulf war vets exposed to?  *

Remembering the Dulka family

 

label all areas where 2-butoxyethanol compounds are stored... with POISON cautions

2-butoxyethanol is a primary cancer causing - autoimmune causing chemical (exposure looks like 'the flu')

... a teratogen, a solvent, a neurotoxin, a pesticide, a poison (Symptoms look like CFIDS, CFS, FM)

"Pfizer Inc. said Dec 10, 2010 it is pulling its blood pressure drug Thelin off the market and stopping all clinical trials because the drug can cause fatal liver damage." No wonder it and Avandia are so harmful (They contain glycol ether - which targets liver & kidneys.) http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/bpmedicationdamagesliver.htm

 

Child Deaths Prompt FDA Warning on Cough Drug 12-14-2010 After reviewing reports on 31 overdoses of the prescription cough medication benzonatate (Tessalon) -- including the deaths of five toddlers -- the FDA said it was beefing up the drug's label warnings. I looked up what was in it, and I would never want to give it to anyone. Tylenol damages liver. http://www.valdezlink.com/re/drugs/coughmed.htm

It has been said in last few years, that by 2010 one out of every two persons will have a cancer diagnosis at some time in their lives.  *

Autoimmune issues such as glycol ether exposure causes?

Ask your doctor to consider immunoglobulin therapy IGIV

in which good immune cells will neutralize the attacking immune cells  *

To researchers: a most probable cause of AUTOIMMUNE issues, cancers and birth defects is exposure /s to glycol ether chemicals. They are found in paint, when high explosives explode (such as in all wars), in home cleaning products, paint, and in our deodorant/ toothpaste."

"Understand the glycol ether found half the time when glycol ether is present: 2-butoxyethanol (ethylene glycol butyl ether) & you will see the pattern of CFIDS. The USA recognizes the anemia this chemical causes: AIHA or IMHA, however this is the anemia doctors can't find." http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/bodytemp.htm 
UK says these cancers: http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/crackthecase.htm#these

There are two major misconceptions in medical science. One is that flu symptoms are caused by a virus. No, flu symptoms are caused from exposure to glycol ether. Look for blood in urine. Another is that very high white blood cell counts is a sign of an infection. It can also be a sign of the advanced anemia of CFIDS... not found by doctors: AIHA or IMHA. http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/comment.htm

 

On 10/8/2010 I watched 'short fuse' about the 1993 NY Serial Bomber.  In the last 5 minutes of the program an ATF lab checked the bomb residue and found ethylene glycol dinitrate (ONLY formed when dynamite explodes; dynamite is a HIGH explosive).  I have long suspected that some type of glycol ether must be formed with things explode, such as in war-time, and would be the common denominator for military syndromes of this past century ... & back to 14th century:  responsible for 'flu symptoms' NOT a virus.  http://www.valdezlink.com/re/military/petraeusetal.htm

WHY?

Exposure to glycol ether looks like 'the flu' or just 'sniffles.' * Diabetes is an easy to find autoimmune 'side effect' of exposure to glycol ether. With too much exposure, the anemia that's hard to find will be the most serious health issue ... & high white blood cell counts can be a side effect of this extreme AIHA. http://www.valdezlink.com/re/ethyleneglycol/healthdamage.htm#8  *   *   *    *

The unrecognized 'chemical' flu that glycol ethers cause, is the reason cancer rates, Autism rates, increase in AUTOIMMUNE ISSUES & Birth Defects have become epidemic; 

Such as Bextra, Thelin, Avandia, benzonatate, etc

Give people with autoimmune issues Gamma Globulin IV instead of meds, and it won't cost $9000 for a treatment; & they are more likely to be helped for autoimmune issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, vision loss, stiff bones, memory loss, etc

Can you give an example of 'second hand' solvent exposure?
