Ask doctors to check for these - find out what blood damage!

& these basics June, 2005

Gulf War Vets are exposed to 2-butoxyethanol and 2-(2-butoxyethanol) when anyone learns from what sources, please share. Exposures to troops is known, but not thought to be harmful. THAT IS THE GRAVE ERROR.

Just because it is in household cleaning products it is NOT SAFE;

But because it is thought to be safe. IT has not been studied.

The best proof of it's harm to people, is to get an accurate diagnosis on the blood damage: hemolytic anemia. This chart should be a help to doctors & if you find out what tests need to be taken ... (see web page) ... please share.

There are many odd symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome. AND unless someone has this 'package' of health damage ... don't consider 2-butoxyethanol. If you do, check into nothing else, until you have checked this first!

The blood damage will be the same. This is the proof of how you have been harmed.

Life is in the blood. You damage someone's blood and you damage their life. 

These chemicals should be banned by the Legislature. No one else has the power to stop their harm.  sample letter

It would sure help if Victims of 2-butoxyethanol poisoning

could get an accurate diagnosis

on the blood damage!

Do people suit up in Personal Protective Equipment Level IV when they use Lysol Tub 'n Tile or 409 cleaner or Inipol EAP 22 or Corexit 9527?  Could people even do lab work and escape the health damage of 2-butoxyethanol?

 
If the medical field would study what 2-butoxyethanol does (& it was listed as an exposure of the Gulf War soldiers) they would find the cause of Gulf War Syndrome.  What it does to people lines up better with the 33 health issues identified by the studies of vets ... than does organophosphates. (only CNS damage and eye damage are expected from organophosphates)  2-butoxyethanol does much more than that.
 
The reason the cause of Gulf War Syndrome has not been identified for sure is because they haven't studied 2-butoxyethanol.

It is thought to be safe because EPA says OK to use it in household products.  I submit to you it is not safe there, either.  (Reg No: 777-51 in Lysol Tub 'n Tile - the only disclosed ingredient, 6% of mixture is diethylene glycol monobutyl ether) This is another name for 2-(2-butoxyethanol)

  
what 2-butoxyethanol does to humans:
 
THE main finding for the last decade is confirmation of HEMATOTOXITY,
mainly THROMBOSE and related effects (see NTP studies).
Other findings of importance are :
- indication of immunototoxicity
- suspicion of cancerogenicity (2-butoxyethanol interfers almost as promotor and/or other epigenetic effects)
Skin is thought to be the main route of entry of this chemical;
I would suspect eye membranes; victims will note their eyes burning and watering

Chemical companies are the terrorists we should be concerned about.  They don't care about human life as long as they can earn money; they don't care how many people die, and they won't stand for any 'studies' they don't want to see, either.

 
People don't take the warnings on home cleaning products seriously.  Why not say instead that they will have damaged:  blood, liver, kidneys, skin, eyes, central nervous system including depression and short term memory loss, endocrine system (high blood pressure/high blood sugar/reproductive damage) and tell them, too, it doesn't take much exposure to cause this! The more exposure the sooner you die; and the more horrible the death.  Cancers very probable.

*
  • Present an abnormal blood picture showing:  Granulocytosis
  
  • Present an abnormal blood picture showing:  Leukocytosis
  
  • Likely to Cause Fragility of Erythrocytes
  

  • Likely to Cause Hematuria

*
  • Causes Central Nervous System (CNS) DEPRESSION

*   *

  • Swallowing of 2-butoxyethanol results in a sour taste that turns to a burning sensation - 

  
  • Loss of taste (getting it in water or eating with food?)
 & other senses like hearing
  • Which is followed by Numb-ness of the tongue which indicates paralysis of the sensory nerve endings.
  
  • Headaches and Stupor.  Narcotic Effect 
 *
  • Causes skin irritation: rashes, defatted - leathery
  
  • Causes severe eye irritation - damage to tissue possible
  
  • Irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract
  
CHRONIC EFFECTS - TARGET ORGANS:
  • Blood   *
  • Kidneys
  • Liver    *
  • Central Nervous System
  • Testes  *  * Coast Guardsman
  • Overexposure may cause reproductive disorder
Not listed - Endocrine disruption
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Abnormal blood sugar
  • Metabolism changes

  • Headaches in area of pituitary &/or hypothalamus *

Not listed - eye damage - holes in retina - blindness over time possible

Other - including cancers/tumors

Has anyone ever gotten the accurate diagnosis for Hemolytic Anemia?   e-mail

Recognize this 'package' of symptoms!  That causes multiple health changes!

For those exposed, are there any helps?    *   *
