Dept of Defense clearly states Gulf War military, 90-91 were all healthy when deployed. There are 2 chemicals that cause all the ‘Gulf War Syndrome’ Symptoms all by themselves:

2-butoxyethanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether

It is DOCUMENTED troops had exposures to these

AND

MANY in the general population have too much exposure, too

Ask Doctors to check vets & any so affected for

  • Kidney function
  • Liver Function
  • In depth check of the blood (retic ratio, etc)
  • Lab tech comments on the red blood cells


Doctor, "Could you order the lab work so results can be back by our next appointment?" Fax c/o his nurse in advance.

There is a type of anemia, hemolytic anemia, that is cause from this chemical. It is in many cleaning and degreaser products used extensively in the USA over the last 50 years; part of the symptoms, per YAHOO definition is

These are symptoms of hemolytic anemia
Chills
Fatigue
Pale color
Shortness of breath
Rapid heart rate
Yellow skin color (jaundice)
Dark urine (indicative of blood in urine - never dismiss this! Stop exposure immediately!)
Enlarged spleen

AND, then it targets the kidneys and liver and there is

Central Nervous System damage showing up sometimes as:
Loose your temper easily?
Short term memory loss
Difficulty concentrating
Personality changes to 'grumpy' - Extreme Irritability
All-the-time Depression
Suicidal Tendencies

Skin damage, respiratory damage, reproductive damage and MORE

The USA doesn't think these chemicals are harmful
It is very likely a pandemic situation for all Americans: 2-butoxyethanol poisoning

How does 2-butoxyethanol Affect People?
Multiple Secondary Symptoms:
like bones that don't heal; high blood sugar, high blood pressure
There is endocrine disruption, too!
Searing headaches are in area of pituitary gland?

Doctors don't take you seriously because they are believing that 2-butoxyethanol doesn't harm anyone. How very sad!
