2-butoxyethanol overexposure LOOKS LIKE the FLU
http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/lookslikeflu.htm

I have heard there were bouts of diarrhea & 'flu' recently with no explanation,

and even cooks in public facilities were required to undergo health tests

This flu is not recognized as often being a chemical poisoning.

Too much exposure & you get serious fatigue or diabetes - even tumors, kidney & liver problems

Only chemical exposure EVOS workers of Inipol EAP 22 & Corexit

and 'gulf war syndrome' vets have in common ... is 2-butoxyethanol

2-butoxyethanol is a BAD chemical

We need to know if the health changes we have seen in our State & Valdez in particular since 1989 are relevant to benzene, such as oil exposure would be ... or 2-butoxyethanol from 2nd hand exposure to 2-butoxyethanol

We also need to know what happened to the workers of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup:  Corexit workers and Bioremediation workers.

 

Valdez citizens have a right to know if they have been harmed by the cleanup chemicals that were drug through Valdez ... & the secondary exposure to 2-butoxyethanol from the WORKERS

CDC, Epidemiology Dept & Valdez community can reconstruct what happened to the people of Valdez  http://www.valdezlink.com/evos/trusteecouncil.htm

Valdez has the next BIGGEST dog in the Fight -

but they don't know it http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/bigdog.htm

 

Why don't doctors find this FATIGUE? (blood damage)? 

  • You have to prove the harm of 2-butoxyethanol by proving the FATIGUE of CFIDS ...

  • & doctors say they don't know what that is.

I suspect it is

acquired compensated AUTOIMMUNE hemolytic anemia

 

diagnostic helps 

 

With 2-butoxyethanol blood damage  happens first.  

Per definition of hemolytic anemia:  

"In what's known as

 autoimmune hemolytic anemia

 the immune system mistakes red blood cells for foreign invaders and begins destroying them."

 

with this pattern of symptoms (first fatigue):

These are symptoms of hemolytic anemia - what this chemical is said to cause.  From time to time you should see these signs (not all of them all of the time)

(AUTOIMMUNE?) Diabetes often shows up (it has an autoimmune component)

Loose your temper easily? Central Nervous System * damage 

(partial list of clues for this):

  • Short term memory loss

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Personality changes to 'grumpy' - Extreme Irritability

  • Difficulty sleeping at night - Sleep apnea? Narcolepsy in the extreme

  • All-the-time depression

  • Suicidal Tendencies

  • Mimics true psychiatric disorder

Hormones out of range - High or Low - Especially the Pituitary

Horrible Headaches - Maybe pituitary headaches - something related to hormones

It is a teratogen ... birth defects possible

It seems to cause tumors ... soft tissues & many places ... especially BRAIN tumors

Targets kidneys, liver ... multiple glands and organ systems simultaneously *

How they FEEL

Is there blood in urine?  or abnormal peripheral blood results?

Are the red blood cells small-sized?  fragile membranes?  LOOK at the red blood cells  *

    The flu - May not be the flu *
EPA - CA Janitorial Study -  Glycol alkyl ethers are commonly used as solvents. 2-Butoxy Ethanol is one of the most toxic of the glycol ethers.

You should use products containing butoxyethanol with extreme care. It is a poison
