Are you VERY TIRED?

Are autoimmune issues showing up?  How can you help out?

What are the glycol ethers?  *  *

Glycol: any of a class of organic chemicals characterized by having separate two hydroxyl (-OH) groups, contribute to high water solubility, hygroscopicity and reactivity with many organic compounds, on usually linear and aliphatic carbon chain. The general formula is CnH2n(OH)2 or (CH2)n(OH)2.

NJ Hazardous Chemical Fact sheet on 2-butoxyethanol  (targets testes)

Not without research  *

Glycol Ether emissions are a significant cause of global warming, too *

Doctors should consider the harm of Glycol Ether Exposure when 'the numbers' look OK,

...  but there are FLU symptoms & FATIGUE *

What are the symptoms of hemolytic anemia?

COOMB's Test?  Skip it

The 8 signs of hemolytic anemia per a medical dictionary

Doctors do not know what the fatigue of CFS, FM, CFIDS is
2-butoxyethanol - The most commonly used glycol ether

It causes hemolytic anemia from the info on the Material Safety Data Sheet (Autoimmune?)  AIHA or IMHA

http://www.valdezlink.com/re/blog.htm

Look for this pattern for military compensation

VERY HIGH WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS  *  *

Not an infection ... an anemia sign  ...  AND
eventually:  Central Nervous System  Effects: 

  • Difficulty Concentrating 

  • Short Term Memory Loss  Memory Loss

  • Difficulty Sleeping

  • Constantly Irritable / Anger outbursts

  • Depression

  • Mimics true psychiatric disorder  Paranoia

  • Suicidal Tendencies

  • PTSD?

Headaches? 

Suspect Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether for Cancers, too *

A checklist  *

Rituxan for AIHA? (& cancers?)
Sometimes these things are indicative of a chemical exposure:
a cough, sneezing, 'the sniffles  * .... etc, etc  What was different when this started up?
 http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/howcomplain.htm

IF You are TIRED and doctors can't determine WHY ...

share these things:

The health damage you are dealing with could be multiple autoimmune issues caused by exposure to various glycol ethers.

(Working as a school janitor is very health hazardous.) http://www.valdezlink.com/re/msn/clean/menu.htm  Even degenerative disk disease

Degenerative Disk Disease - Autoimmune !  *

Very bad hip pain - why? What helps?

EPA - CA Janitorial Study  *    Avoid BUTYL * *

The glycol ether that harmed 1000 young men in the Exxon Valdez oil spill 'bioremediation' experiment was 2-butoxyethanol & it is often found in carpet cleaning products & many home cleaning products.

Like Richard  *   Ethylene Glycol    Compare EVOS Robin to Gulf War Vet Donny

Suspect Dec 1997 exposure


The fatigue this chemical causes is autoimmune hemolytic anemia. I think it is 'the fatigue' that hides out for those with CFIDS, FM, CFS.  "The numbers" don't tell the whole story.  LOOK at the RED BLOOD cells.

Red Blood Cells * * *  


http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/find.htm (FIND the anemia glycol butyl ether causes)

 http://www.valdezlink.com/re/vets/aglycolether.htm (What is glycol ether?)

 http://www.valdezlink.com/re/help/senbyrde.htm (Help ideas)

Do you have several autoimmune issues starting up, or becoming worse?

http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/autoimmune.htm

Ask doctors what to do to help
autoimmune issues?  (anything besides immune suppression? ... pain meds?)

Be careful of any medication, they are serious drugs, too
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/drugs/list.htm  (Are they helping or hurting us?)

What ER doctors need to know
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/er.htm 

Look for this assortment of symptoms:
 http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/bodytemp.htm

Do you have enough of these CFIDS, CFS, FM signs to suspect
the anemia might be AIHA or IMHA which glycol ether exposure would cause?

Also check kidney hormones
& Ask lab tech to report everything there is to know about red blood cells:
size, shape, age, membranes / any bites out of them? any spikes on them?
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/find.htm
 

What are some 'helps' ideas?  * Consider gamma globulin
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/help/senbyrde.htm

Will gamma globulin help? *

the Ambrotose story *
Would Nutrition for Cells help? *

"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."

Will Glyconutrients Help?  *
Nutrition supports the engineering and design of life coded in genes.

Thus, improved nutrition is not the treatment or cure of a disease.

Consider glycobiology for help
http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/2008help.htm#help

Get copies of all your lab work (Is everything in one place or 'here 'n there?')
chart how your counts and temp and BP and Blood sugar may have changed, too
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/temp_bp_bsugar.htm (Diabetes is an easy to find side effect)
 http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/women-chartblood.htm

Be involved in your health care decisions & give your doctor MORE information

Fatigue?
There is also something known as 2nd hand solvent exposure *

Why did Danny Gans die?

Why I think Sonia Sotomayor came down with an autoimmune issue:

type 1 diabetes, at age 8

http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/sotomayor.htm

If you get sick after someone new comes around, ask the Health Dept to ask the Police Dept to have that person take a breathalyzer test. This complex alcohol may give a false positive for alcohol ... when instead it is this chemical that was breathed into your eyes. Exposure to 2-butoxyethanol is a serious health risk.

Joint Pain - Bones Stiff? *

VERY HIGH White Blood Cell Counts

(advanced anemia) *

The Proper View of CFIDS, CFS, FM, ME *

more helps to find the fatigue - the anemia
Notice high white blood cell counts are an anemia sign for this group 

Not just a virus or cold?  *

Health Changes like CFIDS after flu *

Is Cancer secondary to THE Anemia?  *

Find the Anemia *

Exposure to 2-butoxyethanol 'looks like the flu'
'sniffles' moisture under nose, farting, diarrhea, nausea

Causes an anemia that's hard to fnd ... CFIDS, CFS, FM
*

Avoid 2-butoxyethanol in paint, in cleaning products
Vapors in eyes are an exposure

Avoid BUTYL *

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,

an organic solvent, a neurotoxin, a pesticide, a poison

(Symptoms look like CFIDS, CFS, FM)

Autoimmune Hypothalamus?
