Physical rigors in training our military is one thing, causing health damage should NOT be done. The question was not asked whether or not exposure to gas & glycol ether chemicals had turned her system autoimmune.
Flu symptoms are also a sign of glycol ether exposure (What was different just prior to flu?)
 | Basic trainees are asked to remove their gas masks and report to a readiness instructor while still inside the gas chamber as part of their Warrior Week training. After being exposed to the gas students experience itchy watering eyes, coughing, runny noses and in some extreme cases vomiting. She didn't feel quite right, so she went to the clinic. She started having problems breathing, but took her physical fitness test anyway, falling short in the running test by just a few seconds. She had been meeting the standards prior to this. Then she came down with a high fever, was sent to Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland AFB, diagnosis mononucleosis. she had to go back to the hospital. Now she had pneumonia and was placed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). "Boot Camp Flu." (from a virus or a chemical flu?) In the case of Trainee Villers, now back in hospital, seventy-five percent of her lungs had been struck by the pneumonia. She was placed on a ventilator. |

This issue with exposure to glycol ether chemical family is that it turns a body autoimmune. Lungs filling up with fluid can be an autoimmune issue, not pneumonia per se. (Pulmonary edema?) The more exposure, the more autoimmune issues and the worse autoimmune issues you have become. Many things are autoimmune: SOME www.valdezlink.com/pages/autoimmune.htm#some
Glycol ether? Look for blood in urine, and there should be FATIGUE. Look at the red blood cells, & check for autoimmune issues, even elevated blood sugar, blood pressure, body temperature. FATIGUE? Also check for rapid heartbeat, gasping for breath, 'the chills' and the other signs of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. For help check blood plasma for globulin levels, and get them to normal levels.
