I think I know. I looked into the harm of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers and found that their symptoms of ill health (bioremediation workers who were exposed to 2-butoxyethanol ... butyl for short) had the same odd assortment of symptoms that the 'gulf war syndrome vets' have.

I noticed this in 2003 mid year and by the end of 2003 I found that this same chemical was listed in Book 2: "Solvents and Pesticides the gulf war troops were exposed to.

Now, this chemical has a second hand solvent exposure to it. Someone very strongly exposed would expel the chemical in their respiration ... which would get into the eyes of those who are around them a lot ... and be exposing them to the same chemical.

Civilians would call it CFIDS, CFS, FM, ME. The exact variation is irrelevant. The proof of the chemical that causes the odd symptoms (you are dealing with a host of AUTOIMMUNE issues) is the anemia ... the FATIGUE ... that hides out.

The doctors must LOOK at the RED BLOOD cells. and look in different ways to find the anemia it causes: autoimmune hemolytic anemia or immune mediated hemolytic anemia. This chemical causes so many things to go wrong at once, that it has evaded medical science for a century, maybe longer.

It is very commonly used in home cleaning products and not disclosed. New exposures should be avoided at all costs. Exposure looks like the flu or flatulence with diarrhea.

This chemical can cause high or low blood sugar, high or low blood pressure; high or low body temp; High or low ... any glandular hormones - often thyroid with gall bladder issues prior; Horrible headaches; short term memory loss

'civilian gulf war syndrome' aka CFIDS

 
 
 
Diabetes *   Autism *

The worst pesticide

 

Anemia is SERIOUS if it is the anemia that BUTYL causes

"I'm convinced that metabolic features

are among main underestimated issue of

2-BE," says a French journalist

Special Warnings:  Prevent generation of mists!

What else does 2-butoxyethanol do?  Why is it only a health hazard rating of 1 or 2 when so much harm is found? CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS, KIDNEYS, LIVER AND LYMPHOID SYSTEM

2-butoxyethanol is Not Without Research  *

NJ Hazardous Chemical Fact sheet on 2-butoxyethanol pdf

Finds it causes liver cancer in animals ...
No exposure to a carcinogen is safe, say scientists

No Disclosure of any ingredients; yet serious use of product on a written MSDS you can get in 10 days by mail ... which however, are not on the container

MSDS received by mail: Clean Shower MSDS p1-3  pdf  p 4 No ingredients considered harmful, so none disclosed ... but look at warnings for use p2, #8

Wouldn't it seem that there is a chemical that should be disclosed here?  And that these 'how to use' instructions should be on the product or easily available? same as those for 2-Butoxy Ethanol
