Overweight? Maybe it's not your fault - May be an autoimmune, metabolic issue

I met a nurse practitioner who was pretty outstanding. She commented that the epidemic of obesity in our country must be more than just diet and exercise. Something else must be going on.

I shared some thoughts on the harm of 2-butoxyethanol (n-butyl ethers) since WWII and that the baby boomer generation & on could have the 'birth defects' from it such as Syndrome X, Type 2 diabetes & many autoimmune issues & other metabolic dysfunction.

With this chemical, I also note metabolic problems that early on can cause removal of gall bladder (liver not metabolizing fats right) and some years later, kidney stones which can also be from a metabolic problem associated with the thyroid. (this chemcal affects the pituitary, all glands + kidney + liver)

For those with their own direct exposures, I believe you get the fatigue & other symptoms that are commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or more correctly CFIDS Your doctor may look more into what's going on with the immune system and the red blood cells and find that the red blood cells are small (does this mean immature??)
Autism, can be a birth defect in children of these. It is said to be autoimmune and a metabolic problem. That's what I found.

Lou Gehrig's Disease seems to be autoimmune. You would have to have an extreme amount of exposure to 2-butoxyethanol to come down with something this severe, but that is the only thing one VA office reports as the gulf war syndrome vets having more of than the general population. Not that this chemical exposure is the only cause of such ... but I would like to know whether Lou Gehrig had exposure to it. He could hav.

MS is autoimmune. Parkinson's appears to be autoimmune. I have some questions

I believe the headaches are possibly autoimmune, too. And that they can lead to brain tumors of the pituitary. CDC only started tracking brain tumors in 1977

& a tumor causing chemical?
