This
is the chemical make up of 2-butoxyethanol and
in this article I will refer to it as 2-B.
This
was used extensively in Vietnam and in the
Gulf and also to clean up the Exxon Valdez oil
spill in Alaska.
This
lady has done extensive research on and about
the effects of 2-B. Please review her pages as
there is much information on this chemical and
others.
Many
vets today suffer the effects that this chemical
causes and the VA or any other medical
institution are not treating these symptoms
as they need to.
This is the
chemical that gulf war vets were exposed to in
the family of 2-B
ethyl
alcohol in what they cleaned equipment
with;
2-butoxyethanol
or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether; and
diethylene
glycol monobutyl ether
It
causes all the symptoms that have come to be
known as 'gulf war syndrome' given enough
exposure (which isn't hard in war time and
with the stronger concentrations.)
