Fight ALD

X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy

There are currently 851 mutations in the database.
432 unique mutations have been identified in the ABCD1 gene.

Please consider this chemical for cause of ALD AMN  

the ethylene glycol butyl ethers

 
I have looked into the harm of 2-butoxyethanol and believe they cause much of the autoimmune metabolic dysfunction and that would include diabetes ... with type 2 diabetes being birth defects in the baby boomer generation most particularly ... Parents could be poisoned by getting bomb fumes in their eyes
 
I believe the autoimmune metabolic issues I have:  type 2 diabetes and belly fat, and high bad cholesterol that have shown up in my 50s are effects from by dad's WWII exposures on a Navy ship in WWII
 
This chemical has harmed multiple generations & that is probably why there are so many variations of soft tissue sarcomas and leukodystrophies
 
How would I find out if I am a carrier?
 
I have two grown sons.  They each have a son (grade school ages)
 
This chemical does appear to damage the X chromosome ... also 18, 21 ... it is a teratogen chemical  Short list of symptoms would be the same as for CFS, CFIDS, FM:  
 
For too much direct exposure, look for chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms (CFIDS) and blood in urine and red blood cells that are small-sized
 
More info on 2-butoxyethanol on this discussion forum

I believe the best hope for help would be good nutrition and glyconutrient food supplements.  Read Patient, Heal Thyself by Rubin

More thoughts along these lines

They say that only about 2% of the chemical Ok'ed are really checked out. The theory in the chemical industry is that it is the public's responsibility to prove they are harmful ... not their responsibility to test them until they are proved to be safe.

My understanding about allergies ... is that too much of any chemical can cause sensitivity to various other chemicals thereafter

As to type of exposures people are generally espousing -  they are commonly accepted routes ... HOWEVER, what I have accepted what was told by a seasoned auto painter to a teen who wanted to paint a car in the man's garage: "Protect your eyes and cuticle areas" These are the ways the harmful component in paint can affect you.

A way any town could check this out for themselves: Spray Hot Shot Carpet Cleaner in a small pen that a Humane Society pet scheduled for 'dying' is held in. In 15 minutes check for blood in urine; in less than 2.5 days check the 'retic rate' It will be elevated. Look for hemolytic anemia - AUTOIMMUNE Hemolytic Anemia That's what I suspect happened to Nancy's Persian cat

Another thought on 'why fatigue'

Does the cat or dog look like it is getting the 'flu?'

Diarrhea?  Runny nose, watering eyes, cough?

In WWII at Guadalcanal they said not a one had a solid bowel movement after getting there.  Was it dysentery?  Was it malaria?  Or was it fumes in eyes of 2-butoxyethanol type chemicals?  Don't know where Senator Bob Dole served during WWII.  But probably the only reason Bob Dole is alive today after serving in WWII ... was that he was injured & removed from the battlefield early on.
