a cough that won't quit? ... runny nose?

[Guest guest]

A mom shared with me that her college student had a cough ever since she

went to college. I said, " Ask your daughter if she is having burning

eyes or diarrhea Sometimes a cough or sniffling or sore throat or

flu-like symptoms can be a sign of too much of some kind of chemical

exposure " Yesterday a relative who works at the bank rushed into the

store to buy some flu medicine. I always wonder whether she'd been

exposed to some kind of chemical (in particular the commonly used

2-butoxyethanol) She doesn't think so. But the runny nose ... after

closely associating with a new employee at work? Makes me wonder

How does your body 'complain' about a Chemical Exposure?

2-butoxyethanol poisoning = CFIDS What is CFIDS?

people suspect is 'the flu'

<http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/flu.htm> is this chemical's

poisoning <http://home.gci.net/~blessing/pages/flu.htm> 2.5 days

after flu starts, is there elevated 'Retic rate

<http://www.valdezlink.com/check_blood.htm#retic> ?' Why fatigue?

<http://www.valdezlink.com/why_fatigue.htm> I stumbled onto the

fatigue <http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/stumbledonto.htm> that

doctors say they don't know what it is Is there blood in urine? Are

red blood cells small-sized

Consider overexposure to 2-butoxyethanol

<http://www.valdezlink.com/same.htm> for cause of CFIDS -

for ALS My thoughts

<http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/alsforum.htm>

We had a lot of this chemical drug through the town of Valdez in 1989

during the attempt to 'clean up the Exxon Valdez oil spill'

Last month a lady who had worked at the clinic in those days died of

ALS.

I believe there is a very strong second hand solvent exposure with

2-butoxyethanol and that it has been harming our nation since before

WWII days. I believe that someone strongly exposed can breath it out in

their breath, and that others can get the vapors in their eyes ...

enough of that and they are exposed 'second hand'

I've seriously looked into this chemical these past 4 years because

someone in my family was harmed by it, & just happened to mention it

then. I later noticed how similar the 'gulf war syndrome' vets were to

the EVOS workers. It is also on the list of the solvents and pesticides

the gulf war troops were exposed to.

In only one way was the gulf war vet showing more health concerns than

the general population: ALS. So you know what I suspect causes ALS

People in the town of Valdez who have lived there a long time say that

there have never been so many cancers and brain tumors

<http://www.valdezlink.com/solvent_studies.htm#who> as in the years

since 1989. Diabetes, kidney failures, too. But doctors will tell you

that nothing hurt us, neither the oil nor the 2-butoxyethanol.

Well, surely some study should be undertaken.

National Cancer Institute researchers have shown that rates of

non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have more than doubled

<http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/dramaticallyincreasing.htm> in the

general population since the last half of the past century. Why? These

changes surely have nothing to do with sudden shifts in inherited

genetic defects
