Mother Margaret Member	You may have something to add to these symptoms of too much chemical exposure: www.valdezlink.com/gwv/gws_too_much_chemicals.htm CAS - & - Chemical Name (EPA has tested Exposure/Effects of these as pesticides) 112-34-5 Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether 111-76-2 Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (aka 2-butoxyethanol) This is worth looking at if you are interested in the nervous system damage of such chemicals www.valdezlink.com/solvent_studies.htm
Mother Margaret Member	December 02, 2003 Chad Pagel of Indiana is a combat soldier of the Gulf War. His community has recently done a fund raiser for him. www.valdezlink.com/gwv/chad.htm Please contact Chad if you have helps for him:  And he may be posting updates on his own, as well. www.valdezlink.com/gwv/chad_shares.htm www.valdezlink.com/gwv/as_son.htm His sharing about the 'leathery skin' that no dermatologist could help with, reminded me of similar comments from the EVOS workers He offered some pictures here of possible chemical exposures for the troops. www.valdezlink.com/gwv/chad4.htm And other comments: www.valdezlink.com/gwv/chad1.htm www.valdezlink.com/gwv/chad2.htm www.valdezlink.com/gwv/chad3.htm He has started up a forum that he asked me to contribute to. gulfwarhelp.com/phpbb2 His website with the focus on getting vets back to the way they were before the war is here www.gulfwarhelp.com He says he has a lot of improving to do and I'm sure he could use the support of other vets. Thanks
Hawk Member	March 24, 2004 anybody heard from Chad lately? His web site has been down for a couple weeks now, anybody know anything?
Mother Margaret Member	April 05, 2004 Thank you for your concern, Hawk, No, We haven't heard from him in about a month and we are concerned. Sadly, as you know he checked himself into the VA Psych ward on Christmas eve (Not such a great Christmas for the family) and he was stressed out needing financial help since he had been unable to work since March 03 He shared that they found he had bone marrow and liver problems, as he got out ... 'just another thing to add to the list,' he said. "No, Chad, you certainly have harm from the 2-butoxyethanol, from what you have shared with me (& who knows what else?) and these are not just something to add to the list. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether causes bone marrow damage and it causes liver problems: these are PRIMARY - not add ons He is moving from his house. And had trouble keeping his discussion forum up (sadly as he had good info) & others
