What about Carrie Hamilton? Have EGBE type chemicals affected HER health?

Carrie Hamilton - Carol Burnett

12-16-05 on Larry King ... Carol Burnett was interviewed. I didn't realize that her daughter had died almost 4 years ago of lung and brain cancer. Carrie was only 38 (They didn't talk about some of this, as it was very painful for Carol - but I looked it up on the internet).

You can tell people assume that if you have lung cancer, you got it from smoking. That may or may not be the case. What people do not realize is ... there is a chemical exposure that causes one's children to be at risk for brain tumors, leukemia, diabetes, autoimmune metabolic issues such as leukodystrophies ... most likely a very long list ... even autism (?) growth abnormalities ...

Point being, if there is someone in Carrie's family tree back to WWII days who was exposed to bomb fumes or cleaning or paint fumes ... &/or if she was around those strongly exposed to such a chemical as 2-butoxyethanol ... or she had her own direct exposure, she could have been affected in the way that she was. It is not necessarily smoking that causes lung cancer, brain cancer. 2-butoxyethanol does lots of things - not just one thing that spreads somewhere else

Did someone in the family have these signs? (What we call 'gulf war syndrome' or CFIDS today) Generally the blood work comes back normal but there are clues.

This may not apply in Carrie's case, but if it did, no one would have suspected it.

I graduated from the College of Santa Fe where Carol was a resident lecturer in the theatre program. We all loved her and many of us went through her daughter's trials with her. Unique lady.

Carrie

Her daughter Carrie was somewhat rebellious as a teen. Was in and out of Drug Rehab, etc. When you have the drug habit, you may put in all kinds of things into your body. I saw an interview with Carrie and Carol several years ago. I think they believe that her physical problems were probably self-induced because of her lifestyle.

Yet, you never know where your physical problems come from. There certainly are lots of stuff in the environment that could give one all kinds physical problems.

According to the Cancer Society over 95% of all people with lung cancer (originating cancer) were smokers or worked in a heavy dust environment. The Cancer Society feels that lung cancer could almost be eliminated if folks would just stop smoking.

You guys have fallen into Maggie's trap. Who ever Maggie is HE/SHE has a personal Axe with 2-Butoxyethanol and just use the good name of Carol Burnett and her daughter Carrie to get you to look at here agenda.

Thanks for this additional information. I still believe that regardless of other things, this chemical's exposure somewhere in the family line (if not also directly) should be checked into. Did the red blood counts slowly drop? were they small-sized? Was there blood in urine? If not for her ... for someone in her family tree?

The missing link here is that the Cancer Society doesn't credit to 2-butoxyethanol with any cancers. But it should. This chemical causes cancers with tumors here there 'n everywhere. Starting one place first & then another? Irrelevant

I'm interested in checking out some people's possible exposures... if they are interested, such as Jeff did

Ron, you need to put me on 'ignore'

But since you brought it up, these are some other famous people whom I suspect could have the harm of 2-butoxyethanol I don't think you should look at it, though

Remember Robert Urich? The rare cancer of the joints that he had can go to lung cancer. I learned yesterday that a Korean vet who was never the same upon his return ... had health issues and the current one he is dealing with is a tumor in the muscle of his thigh that his doctors tell him can lead to lung cancer. That's what his daughter reported to me.

Why would I want to put you on ignore, Maybe you put this sight on ignore,
Drink more, 2-butal
Ron

Now, now ...

you're starting to sound almost nice

By the way, some MSDS info does not list ingestion as an exposure route. So, I could probably drink it & not be harmed. One of the Exxon fellows is reported to have done just that. An eye witness said that when people complained about the Corexit chemicals being brought into Valdez, that an Exec 'proved' it was safe by drinking some. I must say that I would like to know if anything did happen to that fellow, though, because it is 38% 2-butoxyethanol ... the worst product of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup, and since:

has been sold to the Dept of Defense, Australia for their 1995 oil spill cleanup; dropped from the skies in 2003 near Karachi ... and is sitting in stockpiles today waiting for dumping in the ocean. (One of the warnings, if they give you any ... is don't get in streams ... keep out of water) What a mess we have on our hands. If you really want to help today's military, track where Corexit has gone from 1989 to the present. Arms room? 2/3rds of the Seabees from gulf war came down with 'the syndrome (per a survey of 17,000 questioned) Bet they moved the barrels of Corexit.

Protect your eyes!

You shouldn't say much to me, Ron. I am never discouraged, and I always can think of something else to add. I've worked on this stuff for over 3 years now. All I can say, though, is that I can recognize the pattern of this chemical's harm

Do you think Carrie's dad may have been in WWII or another war? Vapors in the eyes ... easy 'fall out of war'

Carol Burnett married Roman Catholic TV producer Joe Hamilton, a divorced father of 8, with whom she had 3 daughters, Carrie, Erin Hamilton and singer Erin Hamilton. The marriage ended in divorce in 1984, and Hamilton would ultimately die of cancer.

I would like to know what kind of cancer he had: NHL? leukemia? brain tumor? kidney? liver? pancreas? thyroid? Did he have diabetes? How are the other 10 children doing these days? ... especially Erin and Jody

Scott Hamilton

Born: Aug. 28, 1958
Figure skater

4-time world champion (1981-84); won gold medal at 1984 Olympics.

An adopted child, Hamilton stopped growing when he was two years old. He was eventually diagnosed as having Swachman-Diamond syndrome, a partial paralysis of the intestinal tract that prevents the body from absorbing nutrients, and a special diet and exercise cured the problem. However, he grew to only 5-foot-2½ and he weighed only 108 pounds during his peak skating years.

other signs' of what is suspect may have been 2-butoxyethanol poisoning for one of his parents (or direct to him as a young child) growth abnormalities & autoimmune metabolic problem

Scott Hamilton diagnosed with brain tumor

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- World and Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton has a benign brain tumor.

The 46-year-old Hamilton underwent a biopsy at The Cleveland Clinic, and doctors expected to release him from the hospital by Friday, publicist Michael Sterling said Thursday.

"We will be working with him on a treatment plan moving forward," said Dr. Gene Barnett, chairman of the clinic's brain tumor institute.

Barnett said Hamilton has a slow-growing, non-cancerous tumor in the region of the pituitary gland.

Sterling said Hamilton has been had problems in recent weeks with his eyesight.

Hamilton, who lives in Los Angeles, is a four-time U.S. national champion, a four-time world champion and the 1984 Olympic gold medalist.

He is now a skating show producer. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1997 and treated with surgery and chemotherapy.

Both of these cancers and the tumor being in the region of the pituitary gland are part of a pattern of harm that 2-butoxyethanol exposure would cause. If so, he, or someone in the family line would have other symptoms such as chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms (whether diagnosed or not)

How is Scott doing one year later?

I wish I could ask him a couple of questions

Around the time I was two or three-years-old, it's all pretty mysterious, I stopped growing. And my parents noticed that I wasn't developing like the other children and it scared them a great deal. Because without knowing your family history, medical history, you really don't know how to react, or what to expect from your adopted children. So I went in and out of hospitals for a long period of time. I was misdiagnosed many, many times. Once with cystic fibrosis, and another time with Schwackman's Syndrome, which is a pancreatic enzyme deficiency. Basically what I had was a paralyzed, or a non-effective intestine system, where I wasn't absorbing the food that I was eating.

We were in and out of hospitals, and I was on all these restricted diets. Finally, we went to see Harry Schwackman in Boston and he said, "It's not Schwackman's Syndrome. We've run every test, we can't find anything wrong with him. Let him lead a normal life and see what happens."

When I started skating, it gave me some self-esteem that I didn't have growing up, because I was the shortest one in the class, and sick, and couldn't really compete -- couldn't play all those reindeer games, I guess. So I started skating and the illness completely went away.
