My letter to my Senator:

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

 

From:  Margaret Diann  -    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?  *

Hunter Tylo kids' health

There is a teratogen chemical that can affect children of those who are strongly exposed to it (& the proof is the red blood cell fatigue it causes)

I noticed that Michael Tylo was born in 1948 (a baby boomer) Did he have a parent in the WWII or in manufacturing? &/or

Did he himself serve in the Vietnam or Korean war/s?

I notice that he is also the father of Hunter Tylo's daughters and son Mickey

I strongly suspect that he or a parent could have been affected by the Ethylene Glycol monoButyl Ether chemical, and if so, he would have the CFIDS symptoms with FATIGUE that is often overlooked

It would therefor be an explanation for their son's & daughter's health issues. Nervous system autoimmune issues and even cancers of most kinds: blood and blood forming organs, liver and kidneys are what it targets. Thankfully not everyone gets everything it does; however, there is a recognizable pattern, especially short term memory loss and extreme irritability (Many of these people end up divorced)

A chemical everyone could be exposed to .... & which should be avoided: 2-butoxyethanol (modern name since 1930's)

Someone strongly exposed would notice these things

idiopathic anemia (CFIDS' fatigue) can go with diabetes

Recall a serious FLU? or sniffles with farting and diarrhea?

The more exposure they had; the more skin tags the offspring could come down with

2-butoxyethanol

 

I didn't realize that this Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether was a pesticide (per an odd EPA definition) ... and so widespread in use (until I started checking into it.) Military.com has given a 'forum' to express my 'findings' It will be those who have been harmed & their doctors ... who have the proof. I am in high hope that this chemical will be found out and someday banned by Congress. The EPA is impotent to help us.


Even our sweet babies and our pets are at risk.

Summary of this thread - first 3 posts: Why I think 2-butoxyethanol exposures & resultant CFIDS should be on the list of presumptive disability compensation

I have a totally different perspective since I started to recognize this chemical's harm:

1- the flu is a chemical exposure, primariy. Just because a virus or bacteria is found, does not mean it is the cause of what ails you.

2- Diabetes and abnormal blood pressure, body temp - are side effects of autoimmune hypothalamus. There is nothing wrong with the genes in some families; we have multiple generations of chemically poisoned people.


3- Prominent people like Pres FDR have the signs of this chemical's pattern. I suspect VP Cheney is not far from 'collapsing' and they know his heart is OK. "
shortness of breath" I wish I knew more about when former US Attorney General, John Ashcroft, came down with 'flu symptoms' I do suspect that would have been the start of what resulted in gall bladder pancreatitis.


4-
We need to pay more attention to those with CFIDS, CFS, FM, ME. The fatigue doctors are looking for must be Autoimmune Hemoltytic Anemia or Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. Checklist of 'the pattern' with emphasis on the signs of AIHA


By the time other things pile on top, people forget to mention how tired they are. And they are exasperated to continually hear nothing shows up in their medical tests. When the chills and shortness of breath start up, they are at a serious, advance stage of THIS fatigue.

Ban on asbestos diluted, say its backers

Enthusiasm over the Senate's ban cancer-causing asbestos has been tempered. Advocates realize that to keep industry from again preventing passage, the prohibition of many asbestos containing products had been gutted from the law.

.

The real outrage is that asbestos is blamed for what another chemical has done ... because you have been hoodwinked by greedy attorneys who don't care what the truth is. ... just what the public believes the truth to be.

Soon there will be so much divergence between possible exposure and the skyrocketing increase of Mesothelioma lung cancers, and other cancers that everyone will notice something else has caused these.

Check for more things, like blood in urine and autoimmune issues, and diabetes, also a side effect of 2-butoxyethanol poisoning (AKA ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) Look for the fatigue of CFIDS which is what this chemical causes in and out of the military www.valdezlink.com/pages/cfsclues.htm

It was not dioxin or AO that cause them most of the harm to the Vietnam Vets, either
www.valdezlink.com/re/harmofvietnamvets.htm

Can't blame what asbestoes does re: 'gulf war syndrome' ... It is the same as what harmed soldiers down through the century ... not something different, and after 300 million spent on research by the US Govt, they are no closer to finding out what caused their 'syndrome'

Compare to the Exxon Valdez Oil spill bioremediation workers of 1989. They are falling to the same chemical exposure without a lot of other things clouding the issue
www.valdezlink.com/evos/afteroil.htm

Find out how are soldiers with 'a syndrome' of this past century are alike ... and you will be closer to finding the truth.

What upsets me most about asbestos' beliefs is that across our Nation we are tearing down perfectly good buildings based on a flawed premise

Look for more health data, and you may find the fatigue of CFS, FM, ME, CFIDS and start blaming the right chemical exposure. Exposure looks like 'the flu'

As things go now, for a flu shot to be useful, you have to presuppose a normally functioning immune system (not one that is autoimmune) and you have to have the virus being the cause of the flu (which I do not believe is the case.)

Need help with eczema please

Until now I have only had mild eczema on my face but all of a sudden I am breaking out on my body and a few of the spots are really bad. Can acidic foods like vinegar and lemon juice cause this?

Similar question for twin daughters of Marines *

Eczema can be autoimmune and a 'birth defect' from a parent who has been poisoned by 2-butoxyethanol.

I think this chemical is THE autoimmune causing chemical.

Many things are autoimmune

I think my friend has 'birth defects' of several types ... from this chemical's effects

I think our pastor has his eczema on his forehead from watching mock military battles as a boy (Explosive 'fumes' in one's eyes) I wouldn't advise this for anyone.

        I think the best help is good nutrition and 

         g l y c o n u t r i e n t  food supplements.

Don't forget it's not just what you eat ... but toxic chemical exposures that can cause a rash ... (or eczema), a terrible cough that won't quit, causes HORRIBLE HEADACHES, etc.

Once I was leaning over a bathtub while cleaning it, and my blouse got wet. Right there a rash showed up, and the most harmful chemical in that cleaning compound was 2-butoxyethanol. Not too much of a stretch to determine what caused that rash.

I have noticed a couple of children born to workers of the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup who deal with eczema. So it can be a birth defect of sorts from the teratogen chemical, 2-butoxyethanol, that gets in your eyes ... don't even have to work with it directly ...

I know someone in our town who has a serious rash on his forehead that ITCHES, ITCHES, ITCHES. His doctor has been no help. I think it is an autoimmune issue he is dealing with from the chemicals he was exposed to as a boy. His dad allowed him to watch the mock military reenactments of various wars ... I think the explosives of wartime contain a chemical such as 2-butoxyethanol.

It would also cause other ailments for those DIRECTLY exposed such as those with CFIDS, CFS, FM, ME would have. My theory is provable. What is the fatigue? if it is AIHA or IMHA ... that & the 'odd' assortment with something that is autoimmune: proof of EGBE or 2-butoxyethanol poisoning.

Let's compare 'the headaches of two groups with known and suspected harm of 2-butoxyethanol:

Gulf war vets' headaches

  Can Anyone Help?  Daughters' Eczema

Anthony,

I am a former Marine myself - also the wife of a Marine - and when my husband and I read your story, it was heartbreaking for us, because we too are in your position (as are a lot of other vets - and families) on this sight.

We are the parents to two (DNA genetic match twins) girls. Both have the severe eczema that you are talking about - the first of the two - got the worst of it, along with a cardiac issue that is having to be monitored and the second was born with genetic "mutations" to her kidneys and bladder that just recently had to be "completely" reconstructed so both would function correctly - because her one kidney - was in failure (just after birth) and the doctors were trying to save it, if possible to avoid an early kidney transplant.

Our pediatrician who is well known here in Cincinnati, Ohio has called "General Bates" many times on our behalf about our daughters medical conditions to try to get us help from the military - but - the only people who helped us were this web sight and the people at DAV, who have been wonderful to us.  Our pedia doc has both our girls on these "medical creams" for their skin, special soaps to bathe, special laundry soaps for their clothing (and many other things) that we've been advised to avoid, to help curb, the eczema situation.

I don't know if any of this basic info I'm sending will help - but - you're about to discover the wonderful world of "government politics" at its finest. Anything to screw those of us, who have worn our uniforms and done what we were asked to do. When the folks on here give you advice on who to contact and places to try for help. Listen to them, they're on your side - and they're in the same boat - fighting the same fight.

One of the ladies on here (her name is Robyn Burgess) tell her to get you a copy of the video called "Beyond Treason" and then take it to your daughters doctors and have them watch it. Our daughters pedia care team (at Cincinnati Children's did) and they found the information (that was provided in it) extremely useful in helping to treat our children, so maybe, just maybe it will help you as much as it did us.  Other things to help with the eczema - which believe me - we understand.

Our oldest daughter does scratch (from time to time) until she bleeds and it's so horrible, because once the eczema bleeds that they have, it spreads and it just gets worse. Avoid caffeine with your daughter, chocolate especially and avoid things with food dye coloring (especially cool aid) surprisingly enough. We've found that both our daughters respond badly to the regular stuff - and our care teams tell us - they believe it's because the dye in the powder sets off one of the chemicals in their skin. If they drink cool aid, buy the stuff, that is called "invisible cool aid", it tastes the same - but without the dye. Even my husband responds to the other stuff like my daughters, so we tried it with him, and found he could drink the invisible stuff - but not the regular stuff

Other things you might want to avoid: wool clothing, polyester clothing (only put cotton on your daughter) that is 100 percent cotton. Our pedia care docs - from Children's - that are some of the best in the country informed me (after a reaction with both my girls) that polyester material holds in body heat too close to their skin - because the material can't breathe and it aggravates their eczema, because when they sweat it's got no where to go, except back on their body - and that - makes for a "hives like reaction" until the clothing comes off their body.

I don't know what kind of things your daughter is using as far as soaps and creams, but, try something called Aveeno baby wash - it's in the baby aisle - in any store that sells baby stuff. It's very, very gentle on their skin and it won't aggravate the eczema and it has a really nice smell to it.

Also recommend something called: Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP ( 0.1%) to your doctors. That's what our pedia docs gave to our kids - because the Hydrocortisone cream - 3 % didn't work well enough to clear their skin. Be advised, the skin cream that I recommended must be applied (about three times a day) every single day - without fail - and then put something called "aquaphor" - which is like Vaseline for babies on top of it, to keep your daughters skin moist.

Don't use Vaseline on her or don't ever use that Vicks stuff - on their chest - when she gets a cold. The Vicks stuff and the Vaseline both block skin pores (as my husband and I learned the hard way) and that aggravates the skin condition and will really set off a nice (violent) reaction - which could in turn - require an ER visit as it did with our oldest daughter who had to have a hospital skin wash done from both of these items.

Avoid citrus fruits with your daughter as well. For some reason, the acid in the fruit, sets off their system - and really just makes the eczema worse for some reason, although, our doctors can't figure that one out yet, but their conclusion is that the acid, has some kind of bad mix with what's already there in their system and doesn't like the mix.

I'm not a doctor by any means. Don't take it for that - but - our pedia docs at Children's have been a lifesaving group of angels for us and I trust them implicitly, so, knowing where you are coming from, I hope all this helps.
If you want any other tips, please feel free to contact my husband or myself at this email. My name is Andrea, his is Adam.

Good Luck,

Eczema or Rash *
I believe that eczema and the kidney & other issues you mention may be birth defects from a teratogen chemical.  So that military and civilians alike, who have exposure to BUTYL or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether aka 2-butoxyethanol (modern name since 1930s) can be poisoned, and it can present various birth defects.
Please share this info with your doctor/s

Some Observations shared with Doctors October 9  *

Is EGBE the primary chemical exposure of harm for Vietnam Vets? *

What war periods have any in your families served in?
Do they or either of you remember a serious flu? 
This flu is NOT a flu - Suspect a chemical poisoning

C6H14O2/CH3(CH2)2CH2OCH2CH2OH 

Eyes Burning?  Diarrhea?  Flu-like symptoms?

You will most probably be dealing with multiple autoimmune issues, showing up as the CFIDS pattern:

Sometimes the following ... in one stage or another ...

  • 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!)
  • Red blood cells that are small-sized, fragility of membranes, etc
  • Enlarged spleen   *

These are symptoms of hemolytic anemia - what this chemical is said to cause.

(AUTOIMMUNE?)

Loose your temper easily? 

Central Nervous System * damage 

(partial list of clues for this)

  • Short term memory loss
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Personality changes to 'grumpy' - Extreme Irritability
  • Difficulty sleeping at night - Sleep apnea? Narcolepsy in the opposite extreme?
  • All the time Depression
  • Suicidal Tendencies
  • Mimics true psychiatric disorder

May affect multiple other body systems & organs

 

Hormones out of range - High or Low - Especially the Pituitary

 

Horrible Headaches

Maybe pituitary headaches - something related to hormones AND something that is AUTOIMMUNE *


You can easily be exposed today .....
Please learn about this chemical and avoid it
I think glyconutrients are a best hope for help
Maybe the cleaning products they use have caused him to be sick,
mom said his eyes were burning &U hurting, fever, etc

I would be concerned about Autism, too

 

2-butoxyethanol should be banned by Congress

Ask if 'gulf war vets' and EVOS workers have CFIDS & the fatigue of AIHA?
Help your doctor know what you are dealing with -
give them more info & ask them to check more things www.valdezlink.com/re/diagnosisandhelp.htm
This is a right now problem, not one of 18 + years ago Exxon laughs ... how do you know this hurt you?  This product is in everyday cleaning products
And it is ... & no safer

Wonder of wonders! The 2-butoxyethanol family of chemicals are Teratogens - They harm the developing fetus

2-butoxyethanol is a Teratogen - Causes Reproductive Harm

Can anyone help - daughters' eczema *

Autoimmune diseases of the skin
  • Are DFSP autoimmune?
  • Pemphigus vulgaris. A group of autoimmune disorders that affect the skin.
  • Eczema
Skin Tags - Are they 'birth defects' for children whose parent/s were in WWII & other wars? Common Benign Skin Tumors - February 15, 2003 - American Family .....   a person have been described as being associated with autoimmune disorders, ... Acrochordons, or skin tags, are derived from ectoderm and mesoderm and ...
www.aafp.org/afp/20030215/729.html
What is Bullous pemphigoid ? * Bullous pemphigoid is thought to occur because IgG immunoglobulins (antibodies) and activated T lymphocytes (white blood cells) attack components of the basement membrane, particularly proteins associated with the hemidesmosomes. The proteins are within the NC16A domain of collagen XVII. Hemidesmosomes ensure the epidermal keratinocyte cells stick to the dermis to make a waterproof seal. The `autoimmune' reaction to these proteins can be thought of as a type of allergy to one's own skin.

In many patients, skin antibodies can also be detected circulating in the blood stream (positive indirect immunofluorescence).

Is Morgellan's Disease Autoimmune? 

High frequency in TX and CA

Morgellan's Disease, which sounds like bad science fiction-- little fibers extending from the victims' skin, pain, crawling sensations, psychological disturbances, with no known cause and no cure in sight. Isn't thought to be contagious.  Half of those diagnosed also have Lyme Disease (which is often the same symptoms as 2-butoxyethanol poisoning) Linked to Chem-Trails?  

Do they also have these symptoms

Gulf war vets' Wounds Don't Heal (ulcers?) Suspect EGBE?

Vascular Abnormalities? 

such as Irina - Vasculitis

Lymphatic Malformations (also known as cystic hygroma and lymphangioma) 

Cowden Syndrome/bannayan-riley-ruvalcaba Syndrome? *

Emphysema * Autoimmune Emphysema - Maybe it's not from smoking?

Stevens Johnson Syndrome
 
when I heard about this skin disease
 
Stevens Johnson Syndrome AKA ...
Specifically, TEN/SJS is an auto-immune, exfoliative disorder of the skin and the mucous membranes

Other Names For TEN/SJS Include: Dermatostomatitis, Stevens Johnson Type; Ectodermosis Erosiva Pluriorificialis; Erythema Multiforme Exudativum; Erythema Polymorphe, Stevens Johnson Type; Lyell's Syndrome; Febrile Mucocutaneous Syndrome.

 
I wondered whether or not it was autoimmune (& it was)
 
So I suspect it for exposure to 2-butoxyethanol
either directly &/or as a birth defect from parent/s who have been overexposed
 
Of course I also suspect this chemical exposure for Autism
& things a mom dealt with:  CFIDS pattern of health issues,
then complex ovarian cyst and IBS and colon mass
 
This mom has a son with 'eczema' and one with 'autism'
the dad did work on the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup
Can anyone help - daughters' eczema *  
Autism & Cleaning Products? *
 
 
 
 

recognize the harm of EGBE ...  *

Overexposure looks like 'the flu'

Doctors would often prescribe antibiotics for what is actually a chemical poisoning

not just a virus or cold?  *

 
If you have some research funds to check this out ....
You can find out what happened to gulf war vets with 'the syndrome'
if you find out what happened to the Exxon Valdez oil spill workers exosed to 2-butoxyethanol
 
What happened to the Exxon Valdez Oil spill cleanup workers?  *
