I've heard comments from the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers that they have blood in their urine - one said the tests show that he has blood in his urine with each yearly physical
(This group has KNOWN exposure to
2-butoxyethanol; for gulf war vets it is just one possible exposure)
At first I thought, oh, you must still be being exposed to this chemical, and your red blood cells are dying off prematurely - as happens with hemolytic anemia (AUTOIMMUNE)
Then, a couple with severe joint problems shared with their specialist this info (on a cause of fatigue often overlooked)... which suggests that the '
retic ratio' test would show
too many immature red blood cells. Well, the specialist was
very interested in this information; however, instead of ordering the blood test, he had another urine test ordered. Was he looking for 'blood in urine?'
I think so.
So, blood in urine with this group must mean that there is an ongoing process of red blood cells being destroyed by the immune system ... and there will be at least traces of blood in urine ... ongoing (!?)

This chemical causes lots and lots of harm; many, many ailments; however, the reason I focus on the blood damage is because it is foudational; there is something in the blood that will prove its harm, whereas all the other things will vary from person to person & doctors think, "Oh, it could have been caused
from anything"
At least in the area of the blood damage, you should all
look alike
2008 helps:
Be sure to avoid BUTYL, as I suspect that is the teratogen chemical that was the cause of the primary harm to gulf war vets, and vets of other war eras, and civilians, too
Too many things going on differently than the 'norm' so doctors and researchers have largely been stumped, as one variable only ... does not work
I suspect the CFIDS, CFS, FM, ME assortment of AUTOIMMUNE ISSUES is what you are dealing with
Find the ANEMIA, it is your most serious health issue; and the prove that BUTYL or a chemical like 2-butoxyethanol is your chemical of harm
I think there is help with glyconutrients
