I myself am a baby boomer.
I was born in 1945 and never gave any
thought to my health issues (mild) being
from my dad's WWII exposure to fumes of war
when he was on a torpedoed US Navy ship.
(There were fumes of explosions; cleaning of
guns, etc; use of firefighting foam (itself
2-2-butoxyethanol)
- At age 3 my tonsils
had to be removed; Navy Dr said
otherwise I would not live to be 5
Immune
System ?
- As a young child had severe ear
infections
- I have
skin tags
*
- I came down with
diabetes
in my 50s; (Diabetes -
a health crisis WWII Nations?)
A new view of
Diabetes?
- I have autoimmune
metabolic syndrome (Syndrome
X) belly
fat/high cholesterol
- I have
Overweight
- I have fibroid
uterine
tumors
- I had concern for an
ovary some years back
- I get pneumonia VERY
EASILY. a cold can become
pneumonia in ONE DAY and a doctor from
my childhood told mom that since I had
had so many antibiotics as a child, they
would be ineffective help for me in
adulthood
- My blood pressure
has decided to go to the low side of
normal - could have gone high
- One leg has aching
veins ... which have started
bulging; dad had horrible vericose veins
- My eyesight used to be so good; now
a stigmatism & I can't read the top line
of the vision chart
- Periodontal Disease starting up 2006
(age 60)... suddenly with no change in
care. Dental Hygienist says they often
notice people have 'autoimmune
dysfunction' or lupus or diabetes PRIOR
to their doctor finding it. (So is this
something that was going to happen
because of what I suspect from my dad's
being chemically poisoned? Or was it
because I have been getting my own
'direct & second hand' exposures this
past year?) A gulf war vet,
Chad Pagel said he had these issues,
can't even smile ...and it wasn't
because he didn't take care of his teeth
- BONES are very strong & doctor did
an official test of them 2 years ago.
Now I wonder whether there could be
problems starting up here, too
- I have a
granddaughter with a 'blank look' too
often; (borderline Autism?) Also has a
hemangioma on forehead
I suspect some of these
are
late to show up birth
defects from my dad's exposure to
2-butoxyethanol
or something similar.
My dad was about 60 when
he died in 1971 of a 'heart attack.' They
didn't have the terminology of PTSD. But if
I had his medical records, I believe there
would be
the pattern
of CFIDS
I suspect my parent's
divorce when I was 14 & my brother was 8 was
primarily due to the changes in his
personality from those days. I believe our
lives would have been different, had dad not
been health damaged, but no one gave him any
'space' for that possibility, of that I'm
sure.
I would like to know what
happened to the WWII vets AND their children
(the baby boomers). I think many Vets had
what we today would call
CFIDS ...
but that definition didn't come about until
1989. That Vets' children could have been
affected, also, from the chemical
poisoning/s Vets had
For those with autoimmune
issues, I believe they need to
Avoid 2-butoxyethanol
exposures AND consider glyconutrient food
supplements
I also think that it was
'the other chemical' in the mix that was the
primary harm to the Vietnam Vets ... and
that
they should 'look
like' the WWII vets, 'health-wise'
These Issues?
The
proof of 2-butoxyethanol harm is the FATIGUE
of CFIDS
IMHA Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia

This should apply to current troops,
civilians, 'gulf war syndrome' vets, Korean
Vets, Vietnam Vets, WWII vets, WWI vets
