Why don't you Forget about 2-butoxyethanol as a harmful exposure?

Not for me.

I started with a group of KNOWN exposure to this chemical. (& Corexit is 38% strong with 2-butoxyethanol - 2nd hand exposure to that would do you in, poor spouses)

Also since the symptoms are the same for the 'gulf war vets' (& I spent 4 months+ intensively listening to their ailments) AND since it is on the list of known solvents and pesticides the gulf war troops were exposed to ... it boggles my mind that something that causes ALL the symptoms they list is totally ignored. Of the millions of dollars that has been spent on study, with 14 million more coming up, why has this chemical not been studied?

That is the bigger issue.

My question right now, is why researchers in glyconutrients want to first 'remove' this chemical (when chemical companies say it leaves the body quickly)? ... prior to offering the glyconutrients ...

I call it the tornado chemical. It might not be present any longer; however, the damage to the human body is devastated & the immune system attacking self, not bacteria.

Well now, if they want to remove some metals 'n such, shouldn't there be a test to prove it is there? & not be 'removing' something that isn't there?

This chemical likes to get into the water, too, and here is what to look for, if that should be a question someone has

So, since Accu-Chem (a well respected lab for testing for chemical's in one's system) has no test for 2-butoxyethanol poisoning, then maybe it doesn't stay in one's system, and would have to be caught in an acute exposure situation to consider such at all.

The 'diabetes' group that I believe should be tested with use of glyconutrients & not with an aspect of purging the body of some chemical as part of the plan, is the high blood sugar that can come with the 2-buoxyethanol chemical

On the other hand, DDT is said to bioaccumulate, so since 2-butoxyethanol is also an endocrine disruptor chemical, why do the chemical companies report to EPA that it does NOT bioaccumulate & thereby get to release more of it into our air?

So, when doctors know what the fatigue is of CFS, CFIDS, Gulf War Syndrome ... and find it to be something other than autoimmune hemolytic anemia as evidenced by predominately immature red blood cells, blood in urine + the basic checks for AIHA ... then maybe we can forget the whole thing.
