| Suicide: Remembering Garrett by Senator Gordon Smith
his son was suffering from deep depression ... (died @ age 22)
My comments to him:
April 21, 2006
Dear Senator Gordon Smith,
I am very sorry to hear about your son, Garrett. I saw you talk just now on CNN 360
Someone in my family struggles with depression for past 17 years. In his case he quit taking Prozak after one year of being on it, as he said it did no good. He was exposed to 2-butoxyethanol when he was 18 years old as a bioremediation worker of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup (the CFIDS causing chemical: 2-butoxyethanol) Bart Stupak's son committed suicide after taking Accutane for acne ... there is an inert butylated ingredient in that which I suspect for this kind of hopelessness/depression.
My family member is every day depressed, every day tired ... and others don't give him any 'space' for being poisoned. All the same he has been a successful person. He graduated from college, has built several homes for his family, flies a plane.
I write web pages about what it took me over 4 years to learn. Note the checklist of how to recognize 2-butoxyethanol overexposure.

After oil, the only chemical exposure that is the same for gulf war vets and Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers ... is 2-butoxyethanol
C6H14O2/CH3(CH2)2CH2OCH2CH2OH
The fatigue is the provable harm, but hard to find.
