Margaret Diann Hursh Dear EPA
Administrator, Lisa Jackson, I am mailing you a letter today. The harm
of glycol ether such as 2-butoxyethanol is rampant in our society and
its harm is always blamed on something else. It is the cause of flu
symptoms (not a virus). It's use needs to be banned by Congress. Check
the seriously ill gulf workers for blood in urine & the anemia that even
EPA recognizes. Cancers and birth defects and autoimmune issues and
CFIDS is what glycol ether does.

| Wow, how did you find this info, Adam? I agree in the harm of glycol
ether. The MSDS I found said up to 38% 2-butoxyethanol in Corexit 9500
and 30-60% 2-butoxyethanol in Corexit 9527. I heard there was a new
formulation in use now. Is that true? Use of Corexit should cease
IMMEDIATELY! Glycol ether is the cause of FLU, by the way, NOT a virus.

We need to contact Congress regarding Glycol

2 major medical misconceptions
There are two major misconceptions in medical science. One is that flu
symptoms are caused by a virus. No, flu symptoms are caused from
exposure to glycol ether such as is as much as 60% strong in some
Corexit dispersants (2-butoxyethanol). Worst exposure is vapors in eyes.
You don't have to be a worker to be affected. Look for blood in urine,
as they did for beach workers in 1989 with only 10% 2-butoxyethanol.
Next major misconception is that very high white blood cell counts is a
sign of an infection. For this group of people, it is more probably a
sign of the advanced anemia of
CFIDS not found by doctors: AIHA or
IMHA. http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/comment.htm
Be concerned about lack of oxygen from immune system prematurely
destroying the red blood cells. And be concerned about
organs
shutting down.
The most probable cause of
autoimmune
issues and Autism and most
cancers; many birth defects. The most
probable cause of 'gulf war syndrome'.

|
Another cause of very
high white blood cell counts is this particular
anemia 'side effect'
VERY HIGH WHITE BLOOD
CELL COUNTS
*
*
|
Affects blood sugar - blood pressure - body temp
- Keep track of yours *
Other 'clues'
|
|
treatments of gamma globulin seem to
help autoimmune issues
Help!
AND ...
*
|
THE anemia doctors are looking for ... that exposure to
glycol ether such as 2-butoxyethanol would cause ... is
Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia: AIHA or IMHA. Because so many
autoimmune issues start up at once, the anemia is not easily
found by doctors.
Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia is more common than we realize. For
these people, diabetes is often a side effect (itself an
autoimmune issue) but not the root cause of what ails us. For
these when anemia is advanced, high white blood cell counts show
up, but are a side effect of the anemia, not an indication of an
infection, per se.
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/health/anemia/comment.htm#of
I write web pages to express my thoughts. I have no medical
background, but I believe I have stumbled on to the anemia of
CFIDS, CFS, |
When did 'this fatigue' start up? Do you recall a serious
flu? Exposure to the autoimmune causing chemicals: glycol ethers
'LOOKS LIKE THE FLU'
http://www.valdezlink.com/re/theanemia3.htm
Doctors miss a lot of autoimmune hemolytic anemia because too
many autoimmune issues start up at once, messing up 'what the
numbers mean'
Even if enough hemoglobin appears to be present, doesn't mean
that THESE red blood cells can appropriately utilize it. |
|
Some signs of exposure:
'sniffles' moisture under nose (loosening of the
sinuses), farting, diarrhea, nausea
and
can lead to CFIDS symptoms such as
-
debilitating headaches, (autoimmune hormonal /
pituitary?)
*
-
short term memory loss,
-
difficulty concentrating,
-
difficulty sleeping,
-
extreme irritability / noticeable personality
change
-
central nervous system 'all the time' depression
-
odd thinking - paranoia
-
suicidal tendencies
-
mimics true psychiatric disorder
-
abnormal thinking

Thank you for your comments about exposure to glycol ethers and subsequent anemia. The scientific literature seems to support your concerns. Thanks for contacting the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences!
