As to PTSD - there are certainly issues there; however,
with exposure to 2-butoxyethanol there are also things such as:

  • central nervous system damage that would have SOME of the same effects ... not flash back dreams, but the 

  • sleeplessness, 

  • suicidal tendencies,  * 

  • all the time depression as well as 

  • short term memory loss, 

  • difficulty concentrating AND 

  • 'fly off the handle all the time'

  • PLUS it mimics true psychiatric disorder * 

AND also FATIGUE  *

Is there help?  asks Murph 

How many Vietnam vets would want to be in a trial? ... with help using the glyconutrients?

They are showing great promise for those with diabetes, cerebral palsy, lupus ... things that are autoimmune.  Other trials are starting up with scleroderma, MS ...

Things I would suspect 2-butoxyethanol for causing ... check to see if the pattern of this chemical's harm is there

Answer the first 2 pages of questions on this questionnaire. 

I do think Mannatech would supply the glyconutrients for free - for Vietnam Vets who wanted to be in a trial ... for 'gulf war vets' .... for ?

... but they don't have the money to do the testing.

Discuss - Military Health & Civilians with CFIDS, CFS, FM   2009

Look for this odd assortment of symptoms  * - FIND the Anemia  *
I think what is being called a mental issue is actually a chemical poisoning of the nervous system such as exposure to glycol ether would cause.  I think you see this down through the past century and that it especially shows up in war eras.  (2-butoxyethanol has been in widespread use since the 1930s and before.)   Exposure looks like the flu, * and I suspect it is in gun cleaners and the explosions of war.  I redefine PTSD as http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/ptsd.htm  This type of poisoning would be worsened by medications (or more chemicals).  It causes a body to go autoimmune.  It should be suspect for severe irritability, serious depression, suicidal tendencies and it mimics true psychiatric disorder  (Autoimmune action on the central nervous system).  http://www.valdezlink.com/re/cancer/atll.htm

What are the glycol ethers?  *  *

Glycol: any of a class of organic chemicals characterized by having separate two hydroxyl (-OH) groups, contribute to high water solubility, hygroscopicity and reactivity with many organic compounds, on usually linear and aliphatic carbon chain. The general formula is CnH2n(OH)2 or (CH2)n(OH)2

What is Glycol Ether? http://www.valdezlink.com/re/vets/aglycolether.htm

Not only do these chemicals harm our military,

US

 

 

and our children & our pets ... they harm our environment

 Global Warming, too?
