| * I have become well acquainted with what 'the pattern of harm' is for the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers (Harmful chemical exposure in cleanup chemicals was 2-butoxyethanol) Book 2 of solvents and pesticides gulf war vets were exposed to lists this chemical and its compound version as exposures. The pattern of harm they bring out is what this chemical would do ... all of their issues, not just a couple I spent a lot of time on it in 2002 to the present, and it is time for someone of influence to start considering this chemical for many of the cancers out there. It is the autoimmune causing chemical, the tumor causing chemical, and the chemical that damages the blood and blood forming organs. I call it 'civilian gulf war syndrome' or CFIDS And I believe I've stumbled onto the fatigue of CFIDS ... and learned that high white blood cell counts may actually more often than not ... be a clue to the fatigue doctors are looking for. I am only an observer, but I insist that people must give their doctors more info, and that doctors should ask more questions. Most particularly, ask the lab tech to look at the red blood cells and tell them everything there is to know about them. Furthermore, I firmly believe that what happened (PRIMARY HARM) to the Vietnam vets, is not dioxin, but 2-butoxyethanol. That these vets will look like the WWII vets, and these look like the Korean Vets, the 'gulf war vets' and today's vets especially (but not limited to) those who serve in the war theatre. I hope that 2-butoxyethanol may become a cause for presumptive disability approval for all vets. Brain tumors started being tracked in 1977 by the Center for Disease Control. I suspect we should see an increase more and more as the years go on. There is a new way to look at what is going on. We can get exposure to the brain tumor causing tumor today; AND any ancestors who fought in a war, were most probably exposed too; brain tumors can be a late to show 'birth defect, as I suspect for Thelma With all the good Material Safety Data Sheet info out there, it is sad that the USA has been lobbied by chemical companies to ignore or disbelieve its harm. I think someday Congress will ban it. I also think that this ethylene glycol monoBUTYL ether is the most probable cause of global warming Please start your own discussion ... and introduce yourself. |
