GULF SPILL WORKERS COMPLAIN OF FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS

NEW ORLEANS, Jun. 3, 2010 (AP Online delivered by Newstex) -- For days now, Dr. Damon Dietrich has seen patients come through his emergency room at West Jefferson Medical Center with similar symptoms: respiratory problems, headaches and nausea.

In the past week, 11 workers who have been out on the water cleaning up oil from BP's blown-out well have been treated for what Dietrich calls "a pattern of symptoms" that could have been caused by the burning of crude oil, noxious fumes from the oil or the dispersants dumped in the Gulf to break it up.

"Flu symptoms now and for a century are not caused by a virus, but by glycol ether exposure. There is an excessive amount of a commonly used glycol ether in the dispersants (2-butoxyethanol * ), which are poisoning the water and our wildlife and our people; even just those who have the wind blow in their direction. The weakness is the autoimmune hemolytic anemia starting up in which red blood cells die off prematurely. Look for blood in urine. AND look for this pattern for 'weakness' 

Insist that our Nation and EPA require BP to cease all dispersant use in the gulf."

Thoughts shared in April with Dr G Medical Examiner  http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/dr-g.htm

At a Congressional hearing, Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, said that the use of dispersants “could result in thousands and thousands of people getting sick or dying as a result of the cleanup, not of the original disaster.”

True

Calcium doesn't metabolize right when there is exposure to glycol ether chemicals. I've noticed a couple of instances where calcium deposits have been found in the heart; one Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup worker told me that she had 2 calcium deposits in her heart that were the size of walnuts. She had a heart operation last month, and the doctors were so surprised and perplexed.  6-12-2010 

What will submarines need to do to take out this glycol ether from water they make?  A submarine makes about 12,000 gallons of water a day from sea water by desalinating it:  they heat up sea water which separates the salt from the water, and makes drinking water, water for cleaning, etc.  They will be poisoned by glycol ether if that remains.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia is more common than we realize

It is most probably the number one killer in the Nation,
not the various cancers which can also show up

A study needs to be done to find out how ALIKE
