Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 AND be sure to AVOID it, or health concerns can worsen .... What about WWII vets? Have they gotten 'the bomb fumes in their eyes? What about Vietnam and Korean Vets? ... & especially those with CFIDS & gulf war vets Who could prove the harm of 2-butoxyethanol? After oil, which does not seem to be a primary cause of harm for most EVOS workers OR 'gulf war syndrome' vets ... though it is harmful.... the only chemical exposure that is the same for gulf war vets and Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers ... is 2-butoxyethanol <http://www.valdezlink.com/same.htm> . These are listed as solvents the Gulf War Troops 1990-1991 were exposed to <http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/media/Gulf_War.pdf> original source <http://books.nap.edu/books/030908458X/html/569.html#pagetop> .. C6H14O2/CH3(CH2)2CH2OCH2CH2OH A N D Those with CFIDS <http://www.valdezlink.com/cfid_share.htm> also 'look like' these 'The Pattern' of CFIDS - what to look for <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/cfsclues.htm> Do you have FATIGUE that no rest helps? Do you recall a serious FLU? & then THE FATIGUE? <http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/symptomsof-gulfwarillnesses.htm> <http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv/symptomsof-gulfwarillnesses.htm> Ask your doctor to check some of these extra things <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/stumbledonto.htm> ... AND <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/thebasics.htm> How a body 'complains' about chemical exposure <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/howcomplain.htm> ALS <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/alsforum.htm> may be caused by this commonly used cleaning-degreaser chemical have been looking into a chemical that should be suspect for CHD, cerebral palsy and many other birth defects - from genetic harm ... due to a chemical exposure of someone in the family line ... Most especially since WWII days ... and throughout the decades to the present. Why does health of People in Valdez since 1989 matter <http://www.valdezlink.com/evos/trusteecouncil.htm> ? For help ... check into glyconutrients Bob's comments <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/bob-glyconutrients.htm> Give your body what it needs in the way of good nutrition & the 'glyconutrient' food supplements, and the body can heal itself .... www.glycoscience.org <http://www.glycoscience.org/> Has the body become 'autoimmune <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/autoimmune.htm> ?' If your body is not attacking you, it can function better. No such claims are made; however, I believe this is what is the most hope for help. Scientific American, July 2002, pages 40-47 " Sugars modify many proteins and fats on cell surfaces and participate in such biological processes as immunity and cell-to-cell communication. They also play a part in a range of diseases, from viral infections to cancer.

Study of those activities lags behind research into genes and proteins but is beginning to heat up. The discoveries promise to yield a new generation of drug therapies By Maeder [http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/media/trans.gif] Now that the human genome has been deciphered, much of the fanfare surrounding it has transferred to the proteome, the full complement of proteins made from the genetic " blueprints " stored in our cells. Proteins, after all, carry out most of the work in the body, and an understanding of how they behave, the press releases say, should translate into a font of ideas for curing all manner of ills. Yet living cells are more than genes and proteins. Two other major classes of molecules--carbohydrates (simple and complex sugars) and lipids (fats)--play profound roles in the body as well. These substances, too, need to be considered if scientists are to truly understand how the human machine operates and how to correct its maladies. Sugars in particular perform an astonishing range of jobs. Once regarded mainly as energy-yielding molecules (glucose and glycogen) and as structural elements, they are now known to combine with proteins and fats on cell surfaces and, so situated, to influence cell-to-cell communication, the functioning of the immune system, the ability of various infectious agents to make us sick, and the progression of cancer. They also help to distinguish one cell from another and to direct the trafficking of mobile cells throughout the body, among other tasks. So ubiquitous are these molecules that cells appear to other cells and to the immune system as sugarcoated.... continued at Scientific American Digital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
