I have gone down a lot of dead ends looking for 'the picture of harm' of the 'gulf war syndrome' vets.  Organophosphates, depleted uranium, saran gas,  warm soda pop, vaccinations.

Each item could do some of the harm they put forward,

but the best match for their harm is EGBE or 2-butoxyethanol

Divine Appointment

First I noticed that these worse-than-a-migraine type of headache was the same as that of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup worker ... the chemical after oil exposures that is common to both groups is 2-butoxyethanol

May affect multiple other body systems & organs

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

Horrible Headaches

Maybe pituitary headaches - something related to hormones

                     Jeff's ended after puberty

                      Barb's ended when she entered menopause

Changes in blood sugar - blood pressure - often but not always

AUTOIMMUNE ISSUES *

Then you ask, "Why is it that our spouses and children born before we were deployed ... when we come back ... they come down with 'the syndrome' too?"

I believe that is second hand solvent exposure ... those poisoned by this chemical breath it out in their respiration for a time ... it gets in the eyes of those who are around them too much

Many of these things should be suspect

Spraying Vehicles to 'Decontaminate' - 1990-1991 Kuwait - Photo courtesy of Chad Pagel, MP

What was used to spray down vehicles to 'decontaminate' them?  .

.. something like a spray painting apparatus system

 

Even Affecting Dept of Defense Civilians in Iraq and at home.

 

Military Decontaminating agents:

ethylene glycol monomethyl ether! CH3OCH2CH2OH
How similar is this to
ethylene glycol monobutyl ether? C6H14O2/CH3(CH2)2CH2OCH2CH2OH

and then there's
diethylene glycol monobutyl ether C8H18O3/CH2(CH2)3OCH2CH2OCH2CH2OH DGME

Bad, Worse, and Worser

Avoid 2-BE for Health - MM


--- In VETERANS-FOR-CHANGE@yahoogroups.com, "Tanya

 Hi Margaret. While this does cause sickness, it is NOT the leading
 cause of "gulf war syndrome" and the problems we gulf war vets are experiencing. The main cause of our sickness is Depleted Uranium. Our government does NOT do proper testing is why not many vets have been diagnosed with it yet. Some of us, however have paid for our own private testing which happens to be expensive, because we want to hold the government responsible for what they have done. Soon they will not be able to deny this just like they can no longer deny Agent Orange.
 Thank you for your research and please continue to be proactive for us vets.
 Was your husband in the gulf war? If so, email me privately and I can give you the private testing info for DU.
 
God bless,
Tanya


thanks for putting 2-BE 'on the list'
