I notice journals of families when loved ones are dying,
and often there are comments, "the chills" ... shortness of breath or
gasping for breath .... rapid heart beat
I think the number one killer in the Nation is the idiopathic anemia
of Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome
/ with cancer secondary

... even heart damage is part of what BUTYL
(2-butoxyethanol) can cause: autoimmune hemolytic anemia

I spoke to the lab tech last month when I saw her our small town library
...
that another cause of very high white blood cell counts is this
particular anemia 'side effect'
VERY HIGH WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS

LEUKEMOID
REACTION
Classically,
in IMHA the stimulation of the bone marrow
is so strong that even the white blood cells
lines (which have very little to do with
this disease but which also are born and
incubate in the bone marrow along side the
red blood cells) are stimulated. This
leads to white blood cell counts
that are spectacularly high.

I'm wondering whether gamma globulin would be a
help for autoimmune issues
A family member who was exposed to this chemical in 1989 has
ITP - the destruction of "thrombocytes" (clotting cells) by the immune
system
(in much the same manner as RBCs are destroyed
in
AIHA?)
with the articles on Kawasaki syndrome such as Jett Travolta had at age
2 ... I notice some with this diagnosis were given gamma globulin. And
wonder if it would help with autoimmune issues in general:
"Gamma globulin may also be used to treat immunological diseases other
than deficiencies. For example, in immunological thrombocytopenia
purpura, the patient's antibodies attack his or her own platelets,
interfering with the blood's ability to clot. Gamma globulin injections
are useful in treating this condition, though the mechanism by which
they work is not fully understood. The injections may cause the spleen
to ignore signals to destroy the antibody-tagged platelets, or they may
cause the malfunctioning gamma globulin to degrade at an increased rate.
In any case, the extra
gamma globulin
counteracts the malfunctioning antibodies that attack platelets and
allows the platelets to thrive."
