Sometimes though, there is a silent killer.  The autoimmune hemolytic anemia that underlies many autoimmune issues.

The anemia that causes shortness of breath, 'the chills' ... rapid heart beat / often mistaken for heart attack.
Could the chemical exposure to glycol ether, especially a glycol ether with butyl (that should be suspect for causing autoimmune issues) also have caused FATIGUE that could result in rapid heart beat, shortness of breath, 'the chills,'  ...

. . . have a serious FLU?  ... or ongoing 'sniffles?'  *

Consider exposure to a glycol ether for cause of 'the flu' especially glycol ether with BUTYL  *
  Was his odd way of thinking part of an autoimmune issue, too?

What are the symptoms of hemolytic anemia?

The fatigue of CFIDS, CFS, FM that doctors do not find?

Find the anemia 2-butoxyethanol causes *

Other health issues, even cancers, may be secondary to THE Anemia?  *
Symptoms of this can be: 
  • Shortness of breath? (gasping for breath)
  • Pale?  or Jaundiced?  jaundice

A primary cancer causing - autoimmune causing chemical exposure

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

. . . have pain that autoimmune issues cause? 

. . . to be expected pain from a fall/injury or autoimmune pain?

Regardless, medications are most likely more harmful than helpful, any at all www.valdezlink.com/re/drugs/list.htm

What ER doctors need to know  *

How can you be exposed? 

  1. Being too near others who are poisoned & breath the chemical out in their respiration to get into your eyes (second hand solvent exposure)
  2. Being born after a parent has been poisoned (teratogen effects)
  3. Direct exposure (painting fumes, exposure to chemical in our cleaning products, etc) 

    Be Careful what you clean with  * Housewives? 

    Law exempts individuals from knowing what is in the products they use in their home.

Congress, please regulate glycol ether to help slow global warming

What about the significant contribution to CO and CO2 that glycol ethers cause? Please consider these not only for causing multiple autoimmune issues and cancers, and birth defects, but also for the rapid acceleration of global warming.

One of these days doctors will notice that it is glycol ether with BUTYL that causes so much harm *
