The primary chemical exposure to suspect this past century for cancers, CFIDS, & autoimmune issues

C₆H₁₄O₂/CH₃(CH₂)₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OH

is a harmful chemical * *

Is there one chemical, that with too much exposure, can do all of this?

Chronic Fatigue from red cell blood damage *
Signs and symptoms involving skin (including skin rashes and unusual hair loss)
Headache * *
Muscle pain
Neurological signs or symptoms * *
(Nervous system disorders which could manifest themselves in numbness in one's arm, for instance)
Neuropsychological signs or symptoms (including memory loss) Memory Loss
Signs or symptoms involving upper or lower respiratory system
Sleep disturbances
Gastrointestinal signs or symptoms (including recurrent diarrhea and constipation)
Cardiovascular signs or symptoms
Weakened immune system
Endocrine disruption (glands don't work right - pancreas - reproductive)
Bones don't heal; teeth rot
Menstrual disorders
Sterility *
Children born with birth defects

How would you feel, if you were affected? Tired and grouchy and

this

Any of these symptoms of hemolytic anemia * acute exposure
Chills
Fatigue
Pale color
Shortness of breath
Rapid heart rate
Yellow skin color (jaundice)
Dark urine (indicative of blood in urine - never dismiss this! Stop exposure immediately!)
Enlarged spleen

VERY HIGH White Blood Cell Counts * 11/07 add on

If too many immature red blood cells, other tests may be off

This chemical also causes: Narcosis
Damage to the kidney
Damage to the liver
Present an abnormal blood picture showing: Erythropenia
Present an abnormal blood picture showing: Reticulocytosis
Present an abnormal blood picture showing: Granulocytosis
Present an abnormal blood picture showing: Leukocytosis *
Likely to Cause Fragility of Erythrocytes
Likely to Cause Hematuria

from Hemat = blood and
uria = of urine

· Hematuria simply means blood in the urine

Small Red Blood Cells?

Flu? May not be the flu but instead -

NOT TOO LATE

To Avoid Exposure to 2-butoxyethanol (Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether) & similar chemicals

Suspect Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether for Cancers, too * as above

Not just a virus or cold? *

Health Changes like CFIDS after flu *
