Premature Babies & Jaundice - Autoimmune issues? 

A precursor of things to come ?
I'm wondering whether or not a premature baby who develops jaundice is at higher risk for autoimmune metabolic issues (Autism, leukodystrophies, diabetes) than children who are not premature? .... and who do NOT develop jaundice?
 
I suspect exposures to 2-butoxyethanol in the family line and even exposures that can be in the air in one's home ... or that mom gets exposed to while carrying baby ... would be a primary cause of both.
 
My grandson who is not yet a month old was 3 weeks premature and developed jaundice ... "Oh, very commonplace" were the assuring words of the doctor.
 
Well, premature births and autism are also very commonplace
1 in 5 births are early; 1 in 166 births are children who become autistic (whereas it used to be 1 in 10,0000 not that long ago)

 

The statistics on many autoimmune issues are staggering
And birth defects are getting more "rare".
 
I suspect 2-butoxyethanol exposures can cause them all.
IF the pattern is there or in the family line.
 
This chemical should be suspect for organs shutting down, regardless of a person's age.  So, all the way from SIDS to the 3 soldiers who died last year after "flu like" symptoms

What does 2-butoxyethanol do? *

  • Causes eye irritation

  • Affects central nervous system

  • blood and blood-forming organs

  • kidneys

  • liver and

  • lymphoid System

  • defats the skin

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: 
The substance irritates the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory tract

Exposure could cause central nervous system depression and liver and kidney damage.
 
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
The liquid defats the skin.  
The substance may have effects on the haematopoietic system, resulting in blood disorders.
 
I suspect it is the cause of CFS, FM, CFIDS.
 
I suspect it causes many, many autoimmune issues.
 
Maybe autoimmune hypothalamus before autoimmune red blood cells, and autoimmune action on insulin receptors....
