I have taken an intense interest in those with CFIDS, CFS, FM because I suspect the autoimmune causing chemical exposure to suspect is BUTYL ... it causes many, many variations ... and no two people look exactly alike which is why it has been so frustrating for medical researchers to 'pin down' the cause.

On top of that, multiple other things are incorrectly blamed for what 2-butoxyethanol does, so it gets blamed for nothing, even though the research on this chemical is done. It causes autoimmune metabolic issues primarily and targets the blood and blood forming organs, tumors anywhere and everywhere often come along later.

I will be able to meet my US Senator, Lisa Murkowski, today and I will share with her the following:

I looked into the harm of 2-butoxyethanol when someone in my family worked on the Exxon Valdez Oil spill cleanup (one of the 1,000 young men who were bioremediation workers) and were FOR SURE harmed by it. In 2003 I had spoken with several of them to the point that I recognized an odd pattern of health issues that accompanied ... then someone started talking about the gulf war vets. I looked up the short list that the American Legion put out & exclaimed, "I recognize these symptoms!" End of that year I noticed it was on the list of solvents & pesticides the gulf war troops were exposed to. All by itself it can cause all of the symptoms they have. It is not only a pesticide and a solvent, it is a teratogen, a neurotoxin, & a poison, as well

No more vital research should be done than to find out what happened with the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup workers, and compare them to the Gulf War Syndrome vets and then compare these to civilians with severe CFIDS, CFS, FM

I think medical science has an inaccurate view of 'the flu' ... of high white blood cell counts (for this population), etc so I continue to think outside the box and hope that the anemia will be found. I suspect it is the number one killer in the Nation.

Just because there are high white blood cell counts *  *  & a fever *

 ... doesn't mean it is an infection or a virus that is the cause of what ails you 

Diabetes is one of many 'side effects'

 

Our Nation needs to know, "What happened to the EVOS workers?"  *

For our HEALTH, our Nation needs to know ...

.

"What happened to the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers?"

Unless we find out what happened to the EVOS workers, we will never find the answers we seek -

regarding health for our military, our housewives, our babies and our pets  *


Suspect that Cancer is Secondary to 'the anemia of CFIDS' that doctors are looking for   * 

Maybe not a metastasizing issue!

This is the 'shrapnel' chemical exposure * Where it shows up first is irrelevant
