Red ring around mouth could be an autoimmune issue that 2-butoxyethanol would cause. I noticed a number of posts about this on MedHelp discussion forum

I write these web pages to share about what I've learned about this chemical:

EGBE is an organic solvent, a neurotoxin, a pesticide, a teratogen (damages our genes & causes many birth defects)

... a poison !

It is not without research

What happened to Ziggy's Cat and These two cats (links)

It took me 10 days to get a written copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet for Clean Shower. There were no ingredients disclosed. But there was something obviously health hazardous to have the warnings that would go with some kind of glycol butyl ether. I want to know which one and how much.

Clean Shower written MSDS p 1-3 pdf #2 No ingredients disclosed

#8 must have ventilation .. EYE PROTECTION (wear splash-proof chemical safety goggles) & PROTECTIVE GLOVES (Impervious, rubber or neoprene, gloves) OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT (Wear impervious protective clothing; eyewash facility is recommended in work area)

Clean Shower written MSDS p 4 pdf

See p 1 #2 no ingredients disclosed

See p 2 #8 ... warnings *

Compare to this glycol butyl ether:

16. Other MSDS Information on 2-butoxyethanol

NFPA Ratings: Health: 2 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0
Label Hazard Warning:

DANGER! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES EYE IRRITATION. AFFECTS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD AND BLOOD-FORMING ORGANS, KIDNEYS, LIVER & LYMPHOID SYSTEM. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID & VAPOR. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.

Says the EPA / CA joint janitorial study:
"Glycol alkyl ethers are commonly used as solvents. 2-Butoxy Ethanol is one of the most toxic of the glycol ethers. You should use products containing butoxyethanol with extreme care. It is a poison that can easily absorb through your skin to harm you. When working with it, always wear gloves and goggles and be sure the you have enough ventilation." More probably exposure is vapors in one's eyes ... but NOT ingestion as is suspected by some MSDSs

The reason Clean Shower company did not disclose ingredients was because EPA said it wasn't harmful nor caused any cancers ... and so did IARC, NTP, OSHA & ACGIH

Something's wrong here Contact Congress

NJ Hazardous Chemical Fact sheet on 2-butoxyethanol pdf 6 pages

The proof of harm is the anemia that underlies all the autoimmune issuse and cancers that can show up

My letter to my Senator:

http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/whyegbeforcauseandautism.htm

From: Margaret Diann Hursh, Box 233, Valdez, Alaska 99686 (907) 835-3135 January 22, 2009

RE: harm of an organic solvent, pesticide, poison, teratogen, neurotoxin, autoimmune & cancer causing chemical

C₆H₁₄O₂/CH₃(CH₂)₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OH

Dear Senator Lisa Murkowski,

Thank you for sharing my concerns with the Dept of Defense regarding the harm of Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether or 2-butoxyethanol ... BUTYL for short. Although the gulf war vets have many exposures, the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers (BIOREMEDIATION workers who sprayed Inipol EAP 22) have this as their primary exposure and there were 1000 young men. What happened to them (1989) has vital significance for medicine today.

And to today's military and to civilians as well. But the Public does not know what happened to them. They can make no comparisons. *

Many are dead already, just as many gulf war vets are dead. And many others affected, too! (Non exclusive harm)

Too much exposure looks like the flu. A virus should not be suspect for most of the 'flu symptoms.' EGBE causes one's body's immune system to rapidly attack them. The proof that this chemical is the culprit is the anemia of CFIDS that it causes ... but which doctors do not generally find. (Too many things going on at the same time prevents discovery). Butyl exposure causes infinite variations. The numbers doctors look at can go high (with acute exposure or early on) to low (later years).

Both Senators Kennedy and Byrd would be helped if their doctors understood THIS anemia. It is more life threatening than any other autoimmune issue or cancer that subsequently shows up. Yes, it would be the FATIGUE that caused Senator Kennedy's recent seizure (lack of oxygen) and doctors should look at the red blood cells. They are not the right type of red blood cells, as would be expected per 'the numbers' Gulf war vet, Cesar Arreola, became dizzy with shortness of breath after strenuous exercise. Dies 1/18/09 at age 37. I suspect he used up the oxygen that his red blood cells had to offer, and then died from the lack of oxygen (THE FATIGUE, THE ANEMIA) ... when the red blood cells could not easily replace it.

I also suspect this as the most probable cause of Jett Travolta's death: advance anemia after near death from Kawasaki syndrome when he was 2 years old (exposure was this chemical in carpet cleaning) ... would lead to a very advance anemia years later. * *

I think there may be some helps here for our Senators & others affected http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/diesafterworkout2.htm#is

The autoimmune metabolic causing chemical should also be suspect for the cause of Autism. I was noticing in UK research that there is an autoimmune metabolic aspect to Autism & nervous system issues would be a part of it. The UK has better research on this chemical causing a multitude of cancers, as well * An EVOS worker, Richard Nagel, has looked into the French Inipol and said there was research on what happened to those workers and that cancers were a stand out harm. Even our President has been touched by the type of cancers this chemical would cause, with very possible exposures to his mom & his grandparents *

There is research that shows that there is a preponderance of Autism among gulf war vets. And since I suspect EGBE for the primary harm of these vets .... so also do I suspect it for Autism in general * and also for the epidemic of cancers and autoimmune metabolic issues such as Syndrome X and diabetes (only a side effect that is easy to find).

We need to help today's Vets as they are at risk even more than those of other war eras. We need to be looking for what is alike for every war era from WWI, WWII, Vietnam War *, Korean War, Panama & Somalia conflicts, Gulf War I, Iraqi war, and that in Afghanistan. Any and all autoimmune issues for them and for their children (Serious birth defects from this teratogen chemical). My condolences go out to all who have had too much exposure to this chemical ... which also I suspect * for SSG James Alford of Karnack, TX who died last month of 'mad cow disease' ... actually the most serious autoimmune issue that trumps even ALS, Parkinson's, MS. www.valdezlink.com/pages/autoimmune.htm There are so many autoimmune issues that some of them don't even have names yet *

In advance anemia you start to see very high white blood cell counts (not likely an infection for these - an anemia sign) and what do white blood cells do in a system that has become autoimmune? Attack even our bones (Degenerative Disc Disease is often an autoimmune issue.) * I see Senator Kennedy walking with a cane ... also our Dick Cheney, Former Justice Rehnquist, etc

I hope doctors will consider looking at the same medical info in a new light. I can't think of anything worse than letting this chemical continue to harm us ... and for us to give more chemical exposures (often even medications) hoping for help. I suppose our health care costs could bankrupt us all by themselves. Continuing on the road of 'helps' we have been on would be a big mistake. A new direction will definitely be in order.

Since EPA lifted all restrictions on this chemical at the lobbying of chemical companies in 2003, I suspect EGBE should be suspect for contributing to the rapid acceleration of global warming and the melting of the polar ice caps. *

I thank you for your interest and I hope that your influence, and what Alaska can contribute to our Nation's health information will help this chemical from continuing to harm our soldiers and our babies & our moms and dads and the hardworking people who are most at risk (Those who clean, who paint, who WORK) Worst exposure is vapors in your eyes. Everyone also needs to understand 'secondhand solvent exposure'

Beyond poisoning of our Troops and not knowing by what ... the next most troubling issue is the damage to the children. The birth defects *, the inability to have a full term baby (or any baby at all) ... the loss of hearing, the loss of eyesight, loss of sense of taste and smell, the loss of touch' ... even short term memory loss. Study for class & know what you need to know the night before, and forget 80% by the next day. There are widespread implications for Alzheimer's for those who will need special education. The burden upon our families ... upon our schools ... upon our healthcare system ... and upon our Military ... should not be. Even our pets are at risk *

We need new laws of disclosure. As it is now, companies do not have to disclose to housewives what is in the cleaning products they use. We should consider banning this chemical and if not learn to avoid it! *

The worst pesticide our Soldiers have been (& are being) exposed to

Flu shots? *

Subject: Some recent thoughts - for autoimmune issues suspect BUTYL

mother_margaret

Offline

Send Email

I found some research that indicated such - Autism may have an autoimmune metabolic component

(Back up copy ... adding my concern about BUTYL or 2-butoxyethanol)

which has been in widespread use since 1930s so we have multiple generations of chemically poisoned by a teratogen, a pesticide, a solvent, a neurotoxin.

I suspect it for the cause of military Syndromes, CFIDS, CFS, FM

Is Autism Autoimmune? (an MSN Group of info I've gathered)

autism-metabolic (A Yahoo group where I have posted about 12 messages)

So I strongly suspect the autoimmune metabolic causing chemical

which should be avoided by everyone at every age: Avoid BUTYL

This chemical targets boys in adverse affects even more than girls

One material safety data sheet on it indicated it targeted the testes,

so I think it should also be suspect the prostate cancer and other male concerns

Tired all the time? Consider this Info

Example and helps ... for those with the fatigue doctors don't find in CFIDS, CFS, FM

may be a direction to look in. Exposure to BUTYL will look like 'the flu' or 'a cold'

It is too strong in many cleaning products and paint, etc.

CFIDS - This must be THE fatigue!

Many times those with this fatigue collapse from lack of blood ... or the advance fatigue of EGBE ... not a heart attack Just because the death certificate says the cause of death was a 'heart attack' does not mean that is the case.

It is admitted by the chemical companies that 2-butoxyethanol has been in widespread use since the 1930's. I also suspect this chemical exposure and worse for the death of Pres FDR in 1945 ...

CFIDS? ... This must be THE fatigue

Civilians with CFS, FM, CFIDS? ... WWII soldiers? Vietnam Soldiers? Korean Conflict Soldiers? 'Gulf War Syndrome' vets ? ... EVOS workers

I was looking through this info on the FATIGUE I suspect EVOS workers have ... the fatigue doctors don't usually find... and one side effect of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia is very high white blood cell count. One worker said that he had that, and the doctors were stumped as to what it meant. Have your doctor/s find out everything they can about the red blood cells and any autoimmune issues, (especially AUTOIMMUNE METABOLIC issues), tumors, etc

Any autoimmune issue is also possible ...

One person with diagnosis of low red blood cell anema also has a lowering platelet count. There is such a thing as an autoimmune action against platelets.

Quote:

ITP is the destruction of "thrombocytes" (clotting cells) by the immune system in much the same manner as RBCs are destroyed in AIHA

Another shares that his blood is 'globbing' together ... another sign of AIHA

I think this is the fatigue those with CFIDS ... must have

It is the fatigue doctors are looking for in CFS, FM,
Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome

It is the fatigue that exposure to 2-butoxyethanol would have

and headaches, pains here 'n there' are autoimmune issues that pile on

Those with CFIDS should fill in the checklist ... for 'the pattern'
if you have it, ... share with your doctor/s

and what is your body temp? blood pressure? blood sugar?
high or low blood pressure, high or low blood sugar and high or low body temp

'Part of what 2-butoxyethanol does'

Interesting to note that some AIHA is with a raised temp -

Some with subnormal body temp

Check these basics

Restated here

2-butoxyethanol overexposure LOOKS LIKE the FLU

Why I think EGBE is the WORST chemical for health effects

Why I looked into Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether

Will we ever stop crying?

"There are probably hundreds of thousands of ways to develop environmental illnesses, 2-butoxyethanol being only one."

Well, I can see where people would think that ... because it is not realized how widespread the exposures are ... how prevalent it is & has been for decades. It doesn't get blamed for the diabetes, the chronic fatigue, the autoimmune issues nor the cancers & birth defects that it causes.

It should be suspect for Pres FDR's death; Eisenhowers Chron's & explosive diarrhea ... (But did their doctors recognize it?) http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/fdrikevets.htm

It should be suspect for the cause of CFIDS & 'gulf war syndrome'

Subject: Why Vaccinations are Harmful

mother_margaret

Offline

Send Email

I believe there are two primary reasons.

Many people have too much chemical exposures in their family line &/or directly ... it is like the 'one thing too much' and tips people into other illnesses/diseases. Even Autism ...

AND because many of us these days have some autoimmune issues going on. Vaccinations pre-suppose that we have a normal working Immune system. That is not so true these days as it was 100 years ago.

Vaccinations My own discussion thread on this topic

'Nearly all polio outbreaks since 1961 were caused by the oral polio vaccine,'
-Jonas Salk, inventor of the IPV, testifying before a Senate subcommittee

Informed Choice

(Doesn't the whole idea of shots rely on normal immune systems ... not autoimmune immune systems?)

I think the reason this might be ... is that many in our population since WWII & before ... back to all major warsss ... have some aspect of their immune system that is autoimmune. So, if one's immune system has gone autoimmune, then it is ignoring the virus & the bacteria ... and they go unchecked.

That's my theory, anyway, on why people get the illness they are trying to be protected from.

I think that we are harming our children (who knows about the old folks) when we give them flu shots. And that it is a waste of time to develop the flu shot for 'bird flu' ... which is nothing more than a chemical poisoning in which the immune system becomes autoimmune.

Many soldiers would be better off without some of the shots they are compelled to take, too

Soldiers from major war periods may have more in common that we realize http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/thosewithcfids.htm

The Headaches are an Autoimmune - Hormonal Issue

The headaches are worse than a migraine headache:

& have other odd symptoms, too, right?

Probably came along after some type of flu symptoms. Right?

They should be just part of the Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, and you probably have FATIGUE that the doctors don't pin-point.

It is also hormonal. I heard of a man who had them as a teen ... then they disappeared as he went into puberty. Another woman explained that her horrible headaches went away when she passed menopause.

I agree. Meds can hurt more than help. I suspect the headaches ... the CFIDS ... the diabetes that often shows up at some point .... is from a particular chemical exposure: 2-butoxyethanol.

Some explanation here:

Headaches like this can appear to run in families ... because people have been poisoned by this type of chemical for many decades ... and especially at each war period: WWI, WWII, Vietnam war, Korean war, Gulf War ... today ... at home and in the military and in industry.

http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/thosewithcfids.htm

A lot is known about it from those who do research; almost nothing is known about it by doctors. If they learned about any chemical's effects ... they should learn about this one. I suspect the fatigue they are looking for is autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

And they need to look at blood in urine, and flu like symptoms differently

I think the best help is glyconutrient food supplements. There is lots of info on this, too, so google for glyconutrients.

D-Day ... June 6, 1944 was there 'fall out' to future generations?

We need to start thinking outside the box!

Does it surprise us that the WWII nations are looking for a familial or genetic cause of pancreatic cancers? Are we concerned that our scientists are coming up empty-handed with the hundreds of autoimmune 'syndromes' out there ... a near epidemic of diabetes, NHL, obesity ... brain tumors, too? Idiopathic they say. "We don't know" Most especially autoimmune metabolic issues like the leukodystrophies, Autism, diabetes, and infertility issues such as spontaneous infertility and miscarriages.

Our doctors and medical researchers are good at determining to the n-th degree what is happening, but not what causes it OR what to do about it.

Look at the History Channel documentary on D-Day and all the other bombings in Europe and the Pacific in the 1940s, and it would be hard to imagine how the bomb fumes, which include 2-butoxyethanol type chemicals ... (for rocket propellants, etc) ... how they would be an exposure to these soldiers. Vapors in one's eyes - that is a serious exposure to this chemical. Others can even be exposed second hand with this solvent

We didn't have the buzz words of CFIDS, PTSD, etc back then. But we should re-examine the health of these & what has happened to their children and grandchildren. Not from genetic disorders per se, but from multiple generations of chemically poisoned people ... by a chemical that causes genetic damage. 2-butoxyethanol is a teratogen. It should not be overlooked, as it is in widespread use. A serious exposure looks like the flu. But a virus gets the blame

Yes, we have a pandemic looming on the horizon, but it's not the birds that are going to give it to us. We are poisoning our own with no end in sight.

The 'gulf war syndrome' vets were exposed to 2-butoxyethanol and so were the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers ... AND many people in Valdez, Alaska who came in contact with them in 1989. We also are seeing more CFIDS, cancers, birth defects, brain tumors, diabetes, infertility. A study of this group might show us what 2-butoxyethanol does to humans. SIDS? Maybe baby's organs are shutting down.

2-butoxyethanol is a harmful chemical. It has been harming people since before WWII ... and going unnoticed: a 'fall out' of war and an unnecessary exposure to our families in many products.

There are even prominent people who seem to be affected: is the pattern of this chemical's harm showed up in Pres FDR? the Pope? Hitler? I think so ... & for many others, to

Autism as a Metabolic Disorder ... and More ... *

Why is Autism increasing so dramatically in recent decades?

... the same for autoimmune metabolic issues, diabetes, obesity or syndrome X, even NHL ... dramatically increasing!

Pancreatic cancers are dramatically increasing, too ... so much so, that researchers are looking for a familial cause. Is Autism showing up more in WWII countries and newly industrialized nations, such as China?

10,000 in Shanghai alone are now diagnosed with Autism. Last summer's Time Magazine has an article on how little care is given to environmental protection of China's newly industrialized country ... making cars and many other things individuals now want to have

I suspect a chemical poisoning of all of these ... for multi generations. There wasn't anything wrong with our 'genes' until we were poisoned during war time and at home, too, in the common chemical: 2-butoxyethanol

It should be suspect for Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, 'gulf war syndrome,' and harm to the WWII soldiers, the Vietnam soldiers (more than dioxin) and to the Korean Vet ... even today ... for many cancers and birth defects

What 2-butoxyethanol does could be called by at least hundreds of other things ... and many autoimmune 'syndromes' could just as easily originate from its effects in one's family line as anything else

Did you have someone in your family line who was in war? or who was in manufacturing ... or who cleaned too much?

We need to assess the 'collateral' health damage for those who see war.

How did I learn about this chemical?

and I know those who are TIRED of being TIRED ... with the CFS, FM, CFIDS pattern of symptoms ... won't find the fatigue with the blood tests that will be done, even though there is something for anemia (in the extreme cases, maybe, but not for most people)

... for Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome doctors say they do not know what the fatigue is. I believe I've stumbled onto what the fatigue is: autoimmune hemolytic anemia, but doctors are not alerted by the regular blood tests to check for it. I think they have to look at the same info just a little differently, and LOOK at the red blood cells: size, shape, membranes, age? and is there blood in urine? (or later, is there an abnormal peripheral blood test?)

The chemical I suspect for THIS fatigue can cause birth defects: the teratogen chemical, 2-butoxyethanol. If it is a birth defect, then you would not necessarily have the fatigue yourself, but most likely the mom would, or her parents.

I shared this with our city this week ... & hope that you will share it with any doctors interested. There are workers, US Coast Guard, & US Navy stationed in Valdez in 1989 who could prove the harm of this chemical. Along with the 'bioremediation' workers & those who were on the Corexit trials. It is also the only chemical exposure that these have in common with the 'gulf war syndrome' vets (after oil)

This chemical and complex versions of it is easy to be exposed to, even today, It is prevalent in many household cleaning products, paint, & solvents that carpenters & mechanics use. AVOID this chemical, especially if you have already been exposed to it.

A synonymn for what 2-butoxyethanol does is hemoglobinuria ... and that indicates harm to X-chromosome possible, or part of the picture. I suspect it is the root cause of harm for many autoimmune metabolic issues: diabetes, Autism, leukodystrophies, etc, etc

If you are concerned about this, ask your doctor about focusing on good nutrition and glyconutrient food supplements More info Those who specialize in chemical exposures will tell you that adding other chemicals to your chemical 'load' can be very detrimental. So, be sure even the medications you are offered are proven, and not just to help you cope. You are dealing with an autoimmune immune system with this chemical ... at least from the study I've done, that appears to be the root problem: your immune system is attacking you.

And remember, God is in the healing business ... so find a church who prays ... and ask them to pray for you.

How can 2-butoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol acetate affect my health?
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts118.html#bookmark06

People exposed to high levels of 2-butoxyethanol for several hours
reported irritation of the nose and eyes, headache, a metallic taste
in their mouths, and vomiting. No harmful effects were seen on their
lungs or hearts. People who swallowed large amounts of cleaning
agents containing 2-butoxyethanol have shown breathing problems, low
blood pressure, low levels of hemoglobin (the substance in the blood
that carries oxygen to organs of the body), acidic blood, and blood
in the urine.

It is not known whether 2-butoxyethanol or 2-butoxyethanol acetate
can affect reproduction or cause birth defects in people.

Animal studies have shown hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells
that results in the release of hemoglobin) from exposure to 2-
butoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol acetate. High doses of 2-
butoxyethanol can also cause reproductive problems and minor birth
defects in animals.

  How likely is 2-butoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol acetate to cause
cancer?
The Department of Health and Human Services, the International Agency
for Research on Cancer, and Environmental Protection Agency have not
classified 2-butoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol acetate as to their
human carcinogenicity.

No carcinogenicity studies on 2-butoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol
acetate are available in people or animals.

Is there a medical test to show whether I've been exposed to 2-
butoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol acetate?

Breakdown products of 2-butoxyethanol can be measured in your blood
and urine to see if you have been recently exposed to the chemical.
These tests need to be done within a day after exposure because 2-
butoxyethanol and its breakdown products leave your body within 24-48
hours. These tests cannot tell how much you have been exposed to or
whether health effects will occur. Certain blood tests can tell if
your red blood cells are damaged, but this effect is not specific to
2-butoxyethanol.

I noticed the story about Jim Watkins' son having Autism

I suspect that his wife, during her pregnancy was exposed to 2-butoxyethanol

Another family had 3 children & all 3 had Autism

In a case like that,

I would suspect someone in the family line - parents parents for instance,

had been chemically overexposed to 2-butoxyethanol

I would be willing to give them a check-list to look for this chemical's pattern of harm

Chinese should not follow our lead in disregard for the environment ... especially with 2-butoxyethanol. I noticed an article in a Chinese on-line news site that said Autism is running very high in China ... sad story for a culture such as theirs. 10,000 with Autism in Shanghai alone. I also noticed an ad for brake fluid that was double, triple and quadruple 2-butoxyethanol. . . if that won't do a person in!

Autism - from mercury in baby shots?

Maybe this poison, pesticide, solvent

They blamed the 'gulf war syndrome' on the shots, too - I'd suspect a butylated inert ingredient such as Accutane has - Careful with that for boys, they may want to have children some day, too!

I suspect the 2-butoxyethanol (& diethylene glycol monobutyl ether) exposures they had. This is a concern for everyone, civilians and military alike since before WWII.

I suspect dioxin gets the wrap for what this chemical did to the Vietnam vets ... and you will note that autism is one of the birth defects.

Just as diabetes and brain tumors are increasing dramatically in younger and younger people ... I suspect you will see the same with autism.

Some thoughts along the lines of the 'stealth killer and maimer' that goes unnoticed: a pandemic, unrecognized health crisis!

an autoimmune metabolic problem goes with

Metabolic problems show up first as blood sugar abnormalities, &/or early on as gallstones (related to liver) and later kidney stones (related to thyroid metabolic issues)

And why thyroid should be looked into for the kidney stones (check for hyperparathyroidism), if they show up valdezlink.com/rbc_size_shape.htm

Autism is just one of the birth defects that this chemical can cause for the children of those harmed by 2-butoxyethanol. It is a teratogen and harms the developing fetus

Check these things to find this chemical's harm ... for those with their own direct, serious exposure: valdezlink.com/pages/thebasics.htm

999.9 times out of 1,000 ... something else gets the blame for what this chemical does.

Why did I study 2-butoxyethanol?

Is Autism AUTOIMMUNE?

It would most probably be so ... if my theory is right. 2-butoxyethanol causes many autoimmune disorders starting with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (that hides out for many, many years) for those who are chemically poisoned ... then the children of these could come down with singular autoimmune disorders.

See if parent(s) has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFIDS

Autism an Autoimmune Illness? http://autism.about.com/library/weekly/aa092602a.htm

Recently there has been a great deal of speculation and research into the possibility of autism being an autoimmune illness. Always viewed as a mental condition or a condition that affects the brain, viewing autism as an actual illness puts an entire new face on how Autism Spectrum Disorders are handled and treated. It would be a major shift in the thinking of the medical and educational systems worldwide.

What is an autoimmune illness? The immune system is one of the most vital systems in the human body. It serves to protect us from illness by sending out white blood cells to find and destroy viruses and bacteria that can harm the body by causing illness. It is even possible for these cells to command a lymphocyte to destroy a cell that has turned cancerous. Normally this system works efficiently and without our knowledge. It is like soldiers being on patrol; working constantly and quietly to be sure the job is being done.

However, sometimes the system can go awry and the very cells that are there to protect us turn on us and begin to attack the body's own cells, tissues and organs. The result? Autoimmune illness. Common autoimmune diseases are rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and thyroid disease along with many less common diseases such as Addison's, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and many others. The cause is unknown. Why the body would turn on itself is a mystery that researchers are continually trying to solve.

The possibility that autism could be an autoimmune illness is a theory that is being researched by several centers. Recent research by Aristo Vojdani, assistant research professor in neurobiology at UCLA and director of Immunosciences Lab Inc. in Beverly Hills, California, has produced a study that brings together a theory on why it is possible that infection produces the symptoms that are seen in ASD children.

Professor Vojdani studied the blood of children, both with and without autism, and discovered that the autistic children had an antibody that reacted to milk proteins and streptococcus and Chlamydia pneumoniae, two common infections. The problem is that the antibodies that are reacting to these proteins and infections are possibly damaging the blood brain barrier. Combine this with the fact that toxins, such as mercury or thimerosal, can then cross into the brain through the damaged blood brain barrier, causing damage to the brain tissue.

The Autism Research Institute at Yale is taking a more conservative approach and is recommending parents not change diets of their children until the research can be replicated. However, Bradley Pearce, MD, assistant professor of psychiatry at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta comments, ""I think there is substantial validity to the idea that autoimmunity is linked to autism."

The jury is out on the research. It will, as all research, take time to find out what role autoimmunity plays in the ASD puzzle but it appears that this is an area that will be delved into deeply.

Autism and Autoimmune Disorders On the Rise
Could Autism be a form of an autoimmune disorder? Researchers have found some results which may shed a new light on this question.

This is also the case with autism, which means that several autoimmune factors have also been ... Some of the important autoimmune factors in autism are: ...
www.sarnet.org/lib/VKJIOM.htm

So, maybe it is an autoimmune reaction to the shots ...

Or maybe it is a birth defect from parents who have been poisoned by a chemical which causes autoimmune dysfunction. (This possibility should not be overlooked)

Or maybe the child has had all the chemical load he/she can handle ... and the shots (chemicals also) ... push them over the edge to their own autoimmune dysfunction ... of which there are many. The list seems to be growing at an alarming rate

I just believe that it is part of a much bigger problem ...

not a singular cause/effect

Or if the exact prognosis of what is occurring is accurately defined,

it doesn't cover the original source of the problem

(if 2-butoxyethanol is involved)

More thoughts on 2-butoxyethanol:

http://groups.msn.com/Avoid2-BEforHealth-MM

Flu-like symptoms are a sign of a 'right now exposure' There is a strong second hand solvent exposure to 2-butoxyethanol that 'looks like the flu' but it is not the flu - it is a chemical poisoning. There could be painting or cleaning going on ... or someone who has been exposed outside of the home ... could be breathing this chemical out in their respiration ... & fumes can get in baby's eyes. I suspect it for being a primary cause of SIDS. Look for blood in urine and red blood cells that are small-sized or irregular looking. Many times with a strong exposure to 2-butoxyethanol people have abnormal blood sugar (up or down), abnormal blood pressure & hormones out of normal range. FATIGUE and CNS grouchiness, depression, sleeplessness

Some other ways a body 'complains' about too much of some kind of chemical exposure
