Lung cancer NOT asbestos - 

2-butoxyethanol poisoning
Attorneys have just found a deep pocket & caused public to misperceive the real cause of mesothelioma
 
The other chemical 'hiding out' is 2-butoxyethanol. 
It's in all the same 'locations' for exposure, from industry to home
 
Please pass this info on to VP Dick Cheney's doctors ...
they're not looking here for his
shortness of breath & burning foot syndrome & fatigue
... but they should be - Concern for John Ashcroft, too?
 
Serious exposure will LOOK like the FLU
 
Look for blood in urine, small-sized red blood cells (over time)
Look for swollen liver, enlarged spleen. 
Look for autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Look for the signs of CFS, FM and CFIDS
2-butoxyethanol is THE autoimmune causing chemical
http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/autoimmune.htm Lots of things are autoimmune
 
Too much exposure - as these soldiers must have had....
Or in one day:  AIHA or diabetes
 
I suspect the new proliferation of cancers for workers of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup,
 
and the citizens of Valdez, Alaska since 1989 are also from 2-butoxyethanol -
NOT from benzene which has been getting the blame 
(Serious issue with second hand solvent exposure)
 
We need a true epidemiology history of health in Valdez since before 1979 to the present
Our medical info is elsewhere & mixed with a larger geography
We have valuable medical evidence that our nation needs
 
You shouldn't be looking towards dioxin for Vietnam & Korean Vets, either
 
And I suspect the gulf war vet was more harmed by 2-butoxyethanol
than anything else on 'the list' of solvents & pesticides they were exposed to
 
Why can't the USA find the real cause of gulf war syndrome?
 
Sincerely,
