Yesterday I saw a post passed on to Co-Cure forum by a 27 year old young man who has severe ME (That's what they call it in Ireland ... same as CFS) Harmed by who knows what at the age of 16 His story talks about a 'flu' after an outing with a high school class. Climbing all over hill and dale & in the water, I didn't even understand all he said he did. But at Sollum Voe, Scotland they use these 2-butoxyethanol type chemicals in oil spill cleanups. That can go all over everywhere. Maybe he ran into on one of the beaches? He said he would keep my info handy. . . for himself and others. At first I gave him this info, and he wasn't much interested Quote: I noticed this article: "Neuropathology in rhinosinusitis" & that you work in immunology This Fatigue is the common denominator Brain Tumors? What about headaches? Are we dealing with autoimmune issues? A study on immune helps coming up? Do you have an immunologist who would like to work with Dr Reg McDaniel on the use of glyconutrients for autoimmune disorders? I would think that there should be a control group without autoimmune hemolytic anemia; and one with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The latter would be the key to this chemical's harm which should be present regardless of the other autoimmune disorders that add on to it. The groups of people harmed by this are the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers; and many of the 'gulf war syndrome' vets and CFS and CFIDS groups. I do not believe you can compare these groups against each other, because from the study of this chemical, I suspect it of causing all of these. Why I took a look at 2-butoxyethanol Ok, Tom, you just reposted a researchers comments on autoimmune something or other ... OK, I think someone reposted your comments. I do suspect the chemical I studied to be a primary cause of CFS, CFIDS or 'gulf war syndrome' Did you serve in the military? I would encourage you to look at the links hang in there PS Usually people have a definite time they remember 'flu-like symptoms' and start of fatigue Check into this. It may be an exposure to 2-butoxyethanol AIDS is not the same as autoimmune disfunction so the anacronism is usually not used for that reason ... the confusion of the two I don't see the comment on that right now, but http://home.gci.net/~blessing /pages/autoimmune.htm has some basic info after a bout of flu? What were you doing the very day this 'flu' started? Tom, "I was feeling ill for a day or two but stupidly went on a school adventure trip (various reasons why I did this). Anyway it was to the West of Ireland in February in the countryside where he was cold and rained a lot and we did canoeing (incl. falling into a freezing lake), walking up mountains, absailing ( i.e. jumpting of a cliff and going down) and orienteering. I don't think chemicals were involved in my case." My reply: Quote: Well that is enough to get sick from However, there are places in the environment where oil spill cleanup chemicals have been spilled and that someone could come across unexpectedly These are some of the symptoms of 2-butoxyethanol harm that I've listed Having trouble sleeping? Someone shared this with me & why it seems to be CNS damage The chemical is in paint and things carpenters and mechanics use He said he would keep the info handy for himself & others (Way to go!) PS - & you should have some gulf war vets that need the same info Can you pass on to these or any doctors interested?
