Korean Vets & Vietnam Vets should have more disabilities approved

 
I personally think many more issues are part of the harm they suffered
 
Not from Agent Orange which gets the blame,
but from 2-butoxyethanol or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether ...
 
which appears to be in the Jet Fuel that Agent Orange mixes ... were mixed with
 
Mesothelioma gets blamed on something besides asbestos ... by the USA govt for Korean Vets
 

Ford Motor Company needs to protect its workers against EGBE

(2-butoxyethanol) Air tight goggles + chemical resistant gloves.
 
That is the chemical to suspect for mesothelioma ... NOT asbestos.  Mesothelioma is one of the cancers recognized for harm to the Korean Vets ... Govt thinks it is dioxin ... they should suspect EGBE too.  Soft Tissue sarcomas are 'for sure harm' to the Vietnam Vet.  Mesothelioma is a soft tissue sarcoma. 
 
Even emphysema is not likely from smoking, which gets the blame ... but the 'autoimmune' causing chemical
 
Not just this one or that one ... but the whole of them.
Look at them as a cluster ... a group ... not at individual cancers

 
Just some thoughts.  I think 'outside the box' & I think I've found something doctors should also look at.  Researchers have.

Look Alike?

Do WWII Vets, Vietnam Vets, Korean Vets, Gulf war vets and civilians with CFIDS look alike?  Do they look like the Exxon Valdez oil spill 'bioremediation' workers?  Do they look like our soldiers who fight in wars today?

 

What happened to the Korean Vets?
 
Even without this possibility ... certain Korean Vets are eligible for benefits
 
"Type II diabetes is added to the existing list of ailments connected with Agent Orange exposure, including a number of skin, nerve and respiratory conditions, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, prostate cancer and the birth defect spina bifida."

 

 
Korean Vets : Compensation - Some medical conditions
 
Korea DMZ Vets and Agent Orange

Compiled by Ted Sypko 

The Pentagon has confirmed that Agent Orange was used from April 1968 through July 1969 to defoliate the fields of fire between the front line defensive positions and the south barrier fence. The size of the treated area was a strip of land 151 miles long and up to 350 yards wide, from the fence to north of the civilian control line. There is no indication that herbicides were sprayed inside the DMZ itself.

Korean War Vets with Brain Tumor - GMB  *
 

 
Right now in Valdez, a local man is nearing death.
He recalls a serious flu when he was in Korea serving as a weather man http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/ourjeff.htm
He has a hard time staying awake.  Narcolepsy?
 
 
A Public Service Announcement: 
 
Is THIS the cause of Chronic Fatigue, Diabetes and 'gulf war syndrome'?  ... harm to soldiers of other eras ... & housewives & workers, too?
 
MSDS info about it. A tumor causing chemical which targets the liver, kidneys, endocrine system, CNS
  
Looks like the flu - Can cause abnormal blood sugar, blood pressure, blood temp, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath  (what were you doing when you had the 'flu?')
 
Has 'symptoms' like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
 
 
 
 
 
I shared these thoughts with my US Senator
Margaret Diann of Valdez, Alaska
 
Conversations with a Cushing's Group ...
 
Things I shared with a 'baby boomer' 
& Info on Glyconutrients for Help
 
My dad saw military action in WWII aboard a US Navy ship
He only lived 30 years after before dying of what they guessed was a heart attack?  There were signs that he had what we today call Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome.  He most probably collapsed from lack of blood ... & had autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
 
I believe my type 2 diabetes and
Syndrome X belly fat and bad cholesterol rising
are 'late to show up birth defects' compounded by my own 'direct' exposure to the same chemical
