Deanna, when you replied on the lung cancer topic,

I didn't realize that Wade had brain cancer, too.  Tumors of every kind but most especially brain tumors  are what 2-butoxyethanol should be suspect for

I'm not going to bother your group with my opinions on it,

but for those who are interested, this is some info I'm organizing:

Lung Cancer, Brain Cancer, Diabetes & CFIDS
Our military since before WWII and especially during all war periods have been exposed to too much of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether. New name is 2-butoxyethanol.

A 'think outside the box' look at one of the GWI vets' chemical exposures
One of the chemical exposures for the 90-91 Gulf War vets was a commonly used chemical from the 1930s to the present. It IS on the list of solvents and pesticides the gulf war troops were exposed to. 2-butoxyethanol and its compound version, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, are solvents, but also in some odd way ... pesticides. That would explain the endocrine disruption.
