Will a health fair blood test find the fatigue?

[Guest guest]

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. Such as

With lots of other 'side effects' Thankfully everyone doesn't get everything this chemical can cause ... but learn about it; avoid exposure to avoid the worst of its harm.

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

I did a tad of research on this one. This page

http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/brands?tbl=chem & id=45

tells what it's in, which seems to be mostly auto products and auto

cleaning products with a few glass cleaners and degreasers thrown in.

This page

http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profiles/summary.tcl?edf_substance_id=112-07-2

gives you a good look at the hazard rating given by this environmental

watch group. And it's considered a low-hazard chemical after the

results of three different assessments were in.

This is an easy one to guard against, folks. The main way this gets into

your body is either by getting on your skin or being inhaled. So, when

you need to use one of these products, wear a mask and gloves and make

sure your car interior or whatever is well ventilated. That should

keep you safe.

Of all the environmental hazards we face, this is probably one of the

minor ones. Oh, and the only website I could find that said anything

about this chemical being linked to autism was a real estate site that

hosts people's web pages. IOW, not scientific studies, nor were there

any cited there. And you have to believe that autism is an autoimmune

disease rather than a genetic difference. I, for one, don't believe that.

I have to agree Annie. Anyone can put anything they like on the web - people

should be very wary of non-peer-reviewed work.

And all the evidence points to autism being primarily genetic. That's not to

say that some people with autism don't also have autoimmune disease, but the

two things are quite separate. If you look at the whole ASD population you

will find one or two, a few or some with all the things you find in the

general population.
