I strongly suspect
that what gulf war vets are dealing with is the same for other war
eras ... Vietnam vets and Korean Vets, WWII vets and today's vets as
well (THE primary chemical of harm) and civilians would call 'the
syndrome' CFIDS

Health of Bioremediation workers of EVOS would prove it
(Include in this group US Coast
Guard who monitored the work & who were there, too)
Is there any media
which would cover 20 year anniversary of EVOS?
. . . 20/20 or 60 minutes or Fox news ... or any media
to cover the 20 year 'anniversary' of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
cleanup?
3-24-09 ... and 3-24-89 was Good Friday that year
25 years before on Good Friday was the 1964 Alaska earthquake
New documentary
www.blackwavethefilm.com Black Wave
has an excellent clip of 13 minutes on what the clean up workers
health issues were
THIS is the topic not dealt with and the one with most significance
to our Nation's health
"A War Zone" .... The DVD comments that EPA approved the Inipol EAP
22, and that it contained 2-butoxyethanol (a toxic substance)
and that it is no longer manufactured
What is not said is that
2-butoxyethanol was 12% strength in inipol ... and 38% strong in
Corexit ... which IS still used
and approved by the US Coast Guard for a dispersant in oil spill
cleanup
That there are many products we are use that contain this component
(Simple Green, etc)
and no product developer has to even state that it is there
Certainly Pres Obama would favor full disclosure
if he wants to take us in the right direction for good health
AVOID the poison that causes cancers
NJ Hazardous Chemical Fact sheet on 2-butoxyethanol
http://nj.gov/health/eoh/rtkweb/documents/fs/0275.pdf
(Known to cause liver cancer in animals,
and UK research shows a multitude of cancers & blood damage)
What do we clean with?

These 3 cats showed liver and kidney damage after exposure to
2-butoxyethanol
in Spot Shot Carpet Cleaner
Kids like Jett Travolta run into it, too
