Have you noticed cancers in the CFIDS group?
examples of 'second hand solvent exposure'
This is another 'example' of how I view what is a very probable 'second hand' solvent exposure. Elements of this example are TRUE.
A young woman took a job in our town for 6 weeks. Her boss was ill with bone/joint problems, and I suspect CFS type symptoms. She was walking with a walker and having a hard time showing up for work or being civil to her help.
In two weeks the young woman came down with high blood pressure (always had had very good BP before. Very soon there was aggressive tumor in her colon and a complex ovarian cyst. The BP medication did no good. After 8 months this young woman quit this job and in two weeks after that the BP went back to normal.
For someone like me who recognizes how easy it is to be exposed to this chemical and how wicked it is ... I think outside 'the square' (to quote an Australian).
The same chemical that I suspect harmed the boss ... also was harming those she was around.
I suspect a similar issue for a friend after 'flu' went through her area. She came down with other cancers this chemical research says it can cause: very aggressive pancreatic and liver cancers. In the end, the signs she had were that of 'the anemia' doctors never identified: "chills" shortness of breath, rapid heart-beat are signs of the autoimmune hemolytic anemia Ethylene Glycol MonoBUTYL Ether causes.
Her husband was by her side every moment; before this ordeal was over he came down with prostate cancer.
Point is, worsening symptoms or add on autoimmune issues can mean more expsoure to this chemical: & have something to do with who is coming around you. Second hand solvent exposureYou might realize how many odd symptoms there are that go with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. Look for the FATIGUE which shows up differently than doctors expect
And especially look for abnormal blood sugar, blood pressure, body temp ... swollen glands and organs often go with
Many health issues are autoimmune and becoming epidemic among the WWII Nations
Strong exposure looks like what we call the flu or a cold *
Suspect not a virus, but exposure in some fashion to 2-butoxyethanol aka Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether
