She shared with me about her family from time to time. One brother won a case about health damage from paint. Is that you? The more probable chemical of harm would not be lead, but 2-butoxyethanol.

Anyway, I know how to recognize it (CFIDS type symptoms) and think that the fatigue/anemia may have played a part in Norma's health decline (the chills, rapid heart beat, shortness of breath)

Someday I will ask if her temperature was lesser than 98.6

Acquired autoimmune hemolytic anemia with this group

Your Opinion Matters!

Thank you for sharing, Randy. I would have liked to have seen you again. I noticed signs of the anemia in my conversations with Norma those last months ...
'the chills' fatigue, shortness of breath, rapid heart beat ... so I shall continue to pass on to people (to share with their doctors) how to find the fatigue of CFS, CFIDS. Exposure looks like 'the flu' and abnormal blood sugar, blood pressure, body temp ... are side effects of 2-butoxyethanol exposure.

Although I know you are at peace with Norma's advent into heaven, I doubt that it was the cancer, but instead the hemolytic anemia that must have been there all along, undetected

Dear Sister Mary,

Mary, I am sorry for your loss of Norma. Many will feel the loss. What distresses me is that the anemia she had for years was probably the actual cause of her death, and the doctors didn't find it. I for one will not be donating to the cancer society which has no idea what chemical exposure (which looks like 'the flu') is the cause of CFIDS and most cancers & autoimmune issues out there today.

Because I had many visits with Norma, and understood more about her in this light than anyone else would, the loss of Norma for such 'flu' is especially hard to take. The exposure to 'flu' chemical (2-butoxyethanol) in mid Sept ... was like a straw on the camel's back ... just one thing too many.

Norma knew what I thought, but doctors as yet, don't recognize the fatigue. It doesn't show up as they expect it to. Clues: 'the chills' ... rapid heart-beat & gasping for breath (Stacy told me she dealt with that at the end hours of her life). I also suspect she would have had an abnormal body temperature (less than 98.6) and an abnormal peripheral blood test.

I am also concerned for Randy, as he had a serious flu with resultant 'diabetes' a common side effect. Her brother who was a painter and all he deals with ... the same. A chemical in most paints & cleaning products. I am so sorry for us all to have lost Norma and we all know the Lord could have intervened; so we ask for a portion of her greatness to be spread about first to her family and then to others who loved her too.

Web pages I wrote to share about the chemical to AVOID at all costs www.valdezlink.com/re/jan08.htm  And this web page to share with others http://www.valdezlink.com/re/normaguestbook2.htm

Headaches are part of it

Dear Cathy, I am sorry for your loss of Norma. Those of us who knew and loved her feel the same.

I wanted to share a web page I put together with an important chemical to avoid, as what is thought of as 'the flu' is a particular chemical poisoning, and as I watched Norma and visited with her, often the effects of 2-butoxyethanol were present. The anemia it causes may be the true cause of death for many people, but doctors don't find the fatigue. They find diabetes very easily and pin everything this chemical it does on one of the side effects. The chemical is in paint, in many cleaning products used at home.

Brad who married Debbie's twin sister, Donna, asked for more info about this chemical & how to recognize it, and since I write web pages as a hobby ... I put this together for them.

I am hoping to get this info into the hands of humble doctors who are open to new information.

The cancers that are also side effects must have some autoimmune issues 'along with' and I have observed hope for those who are given Rituxan .. for both the cancers that show up and the anemia
