AIHA must be THE fatigue of CFIDS
2-butoxyethanol causes the odd assortment of symptoms such as those listed for CFS, FM, CFIDS
Exposure looks like 'the flu' ... lesser exposure 'looks like' eyes burning & hurting ... farting ... diarrhea
I think this is THE FATIGUE that those with CFIDS must have Some signs are blood cells 'globbing together,' very high WBC counts; elevated RDW should be suspect.
Doctors need to LOOK at the red blood cells - not the traditional tests that they suspect will show up Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia. Maybe it is 'approaching' AIHA or IMHA before it is obvious on the blood tests? There will be other autoimmune issues, too, as 2-butoxyethanol exposures cause autoimmune metabolic issues
________________________ Suspect high or low blood sugar; high or low body temp; high or low blood pressure as side effects of 2-butoxyethanol exposure (autoimmune hypothalamus)
Question, RE: "information on soldiers' exposure to herbicides causing diabetes on military.com forum. Is there information or data about exposure to jet fuel, hydrolic fluid, and cleaning solvents also causing it?"
Reply:
MOST definitely you will find 2-butoxyethanol in these. JET FUELS 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 are labeled as pesticides and have the warnings of 2-butoxyethanol. (However, per EPA guidlines if you give the warnings you do not have to list the ingredient.)
This chemical should be suspect for the majority of cleaning compounds since the 1930s
I think 'bird flu' or the flu of 1918 has to do with MALE tanks (they had a cannon on them, not a machine gun) and that it was a worse version of this chemical. There were about 4,000 of these tanks from each of the countries back then. I think the explosive fumes blew around in the air & exposed people. I think Pres FDR's health ailments started back in those days as he got as close to the WWI front lines (then as Assist Sect of the Navy) as they would let him get ... and then he had a 'strange influenze' leading not to polio as is commonly believed, but to an autoimmune action on the nervous system that causes paralysis.
Stripper & paints and cleaning products have this chemical, as Dale found out
For military presumptive disability approval they have to find times when Agent Orange was a possible exposure for Vietnam & for Korean Vets. Too bad for many that they do not consider 'the other chemical' in the mix... and also during times when AO was no part of the 'equation'

Doctors do not know what the fatigue of CFS, FM, CFIDS is _____________________ Diabetes - When? : Type 2 Diabetes & Military Disability Compensation ___________________ I have noticed posts on military.com referencing kidney cancer and other issues such as sarcoidosis, peripheral neuropathy.
... from CATO2 (who has replied to my trackpads posts with more MSDS info) ... he comments on neurapathy & having MRIs ... changes in his sense of balance, co-ordination ... a tingling in fingers & toes - (Consider CIDP the 'chornic version of what Pres FDR had), loss of focus & concentration
What you are describing may be part of a larger picture of health harm.
In addition to sarcoiidosis & peripheral neuropathy, I would ask a soldier whether or not they have FATIGUE, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, extreme irritability?
Mutliple cancers can be possible.
Kidney cancer is one that should be suspect for 'the other chemical in the AO spray ... it was mixed with jet fuel so it would adhere to the folliage, one soldier told me.
If it is the other chemical, you would have other effects, not just one thing. It has serious FATIGUE that doctors do not usually find, but they would if they looked at the red blood cells.
></SCRIPT> AND if we knew what happened to the bioremediation workers of EVOS they would look like many soldiers of WWII, Vietnam, Korea, 'gulf war syndrome vets' ... today's soldiers .... and those in the civilian population with CFIDS (CFS, FM, ME for short)
Thank you, Dave, for your work.
Thank you for this place to share the picture of harm that I suspect from 2-butoxyethanol. I hope it will be an approved cause of disability compensation ... including the many birth defects it causes (It is a teratogen, a poison, a solvent, and a pesticide)
I hope those with THE FATIGUE & multiple, odd health issues will ask their doctors more about 'the fatigue' ASK them to look at the red blood cells & find out everything there is to know about them, including whether or not there is an elevated RDW http://forums.military.com/eve<WBR>/forums?a=tpc&s=78919038&f<WBR>=163198221&m=2890092051001&r<WBR>=3150003151001#3150003151001
