ITCH not a part of the initial problem?  It could be brought on by the medication or too much of some type of chemical

I think what you are describing could be a primary harm for many of the gulf war vets, too, by the way.  Autoimmune hemolytic anemia could be underlying the other ailments they have.  But the Central Nervous System damage screams so loud, that it goes unnoticed.  Also it is the cause of CFS, CFIDS from my perspective ... and as doctors say, they do not know what the fatigue is. 

Many are concerned about the 'gulf war vet' and similar harm to our current troops.  I took an extreme interest when I realized how similar the 'gulf war syndrome' symptoms as put out by the American Legion ... were the same as that of those from the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup ... those exposed to 2-butoxyethanol in Corexit or Inipol EAP 22 (the latter no longer available for use per EPA ... the former sold to the Dept of Defense, Australia, Karachi ... who knows who?  It is 3 times the strength & was not selected for use during the oil spill cleanup, but remains to leak in the arms room & be carried to and fro by Seabees)

I'm sure we are all concerned with this potential threat to today's troops ... it seems to show up especially in war time.  Such with these 3 soldiers in recent months AFTER their service in Iraq.  A weapon's Sgt & paratrooper I spoke with; I wonder about Staff Sgt James Alford.  I asked his dad to see whether or not there was blood in urine and red blood cells that were immature. (His dad also shared that his son had seen the doctor several times for horrible headaches) This article was e-mailed to me by a 'gulf war syndrome' vet.

One military man said that his 'gulf war syndrome' symptoms that he came down with in 1985 .... kept pointing to jet fuel as the source of his ailments.  I found that jet fuels no 2-6 were labeled as pesticides and had some of the 'warning' terminology such as you find with 2-butoxyethanol:  causes 'defatted' skin, etc.  This is a govt comparison of JP-5 to JP-8.  IF it is of interest to you, make your own copy, as sources can be deleted or changed, such as this which I did make a copy of (this chemical & it's double strength tested by EPA as an endocrine disruptor chemical)

High hope for help from an immune system 'vitamin' such as glyconutrients.  Dr. REG explains the microbiology of them.

Dr. Garrett of Kansas is doing a clinical trial with them now.  He shared his thoughts also with Dr. Lea Steele, who asked ...

Diann,

Do you have more specific information about what the glyconutrient therapy involves, what types of conditions it is used for, and what types of results have been seen using this protocol?


Thank you,

Dr. Lea Steele

So, it appears there is hope out there!

And good news, Dr. Rea is willing to do a trial with those exposed to 2-butoxyethanol!

Check for 'flu-like' symptoms for an acute exposure.

And some of these basic 'patterns'

This also is more likely the harm to the Vietnam vet, as well

Do prospects feel like this?

Some thoughts on 'diabetes'

What about our Troops Today?

And what about the children? 

Check for autoimmune immune system

The chemical that 'gulf war vets' were also exposed to, but most everyone ignores, is 2-butoxyethanol.

It causes the immune system to become autoimmune Check over the various things here that are considered autoimmune & you may gain some insights

With the children, since this chemical is a teratogen, I believe singular health ailments can show up without the underlying autoimmune hemolytic anemia that would be a biomarker for it in someone with direct exposure.

I believe that although the central nervous system damage is part of what happens to those exposed, it is not the sole cause of all the rest of the ailments; it is only part of the picture.

I believe we saw the same harm in WWII and in the Vietnam vet (see how similar your ailments are to theirs)

I believe glyconutrients are a painless help and some of the best hope for help for you and your children ... even for babies
