In 1989 the Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh reef in Prince William Sound aboat 80 miles southwest of Valdez, Alaska. Due to public pressure Exxon wanted to appear to clean up the oil (11million gallons were spilled) It was a futile effort. Many people would be alive today and living in health had no one put people in harms way: - near the oil ...
- near the cleanup chemicals, strong in a cleanup component, 2-butoxyethanol
- Capt Richard D. Nagel knows a lot about this. He will moderate this site

| | Richard's EVOS photos
He took some photos during the summers 1989, 1990 and 1991 during the cleanup of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill | Please tell us who you know ... or what you know also. You did not have to work directly with the Inipol or the Corext chemical concoctions of EVOS to be harmed by them. The wind could have blown them in your direction ... or you could have worked with boom that was oil mixed with them. And there is such a thing as second hand exposure for those who come around those overexposed. They are trying to get it out of their system. As a complex alcohol some of it is expelled in their breath. Those they were near could get it in their eyes (One of the unrecognized & strongest exposures to the most harmful component, 2-butoxyethanol) Today is Presidents' Day ... this site is dedicated to Pres FDR Franklin Delano Roosevelt, America's 32nd President, mention a time when he had flu-like symptoms? He did in 1917
 A cheery fellow - 'Happy Days' The History Channel Documentary 4-23-05 and 4-24-05, FDR: A Presidency Revealed talked about things that would be like what overexposure to 2-butoxyethanol would cause: * enlarged heart, many horrible HEADACHES - some at the base of the head, tired, ashen/pale color, difficulty finishing thoughts in sentences (short term memory loss), difficulty concentrating. Also high blood pressure (180/105), rapid weight loss (liver?) Repeated headaches. Headaches were intensifying 4-11-45 as he went to bed he was 'shivering'  (chills?) Chills? Chills? After an acute headache at the back of his head, he collapsed on 4-12-45 and died a few hours later. It is reported that he died of a cerebral hemorrhage ... was there an autopsy? NO! If it was advanced stages of the fatigue of CFIDS ... the doctors would not have found it. They still don't even now - 60 + years later.
What we would call CFIDS or 'gulf war syndrome' today. It is now suspected that he didn't have polio, but Some ways your body might 'complain' about too much of some kind of chemical * Maybe the Hypothalamus is damaged? * HELP * |
