DU? I don't buy it

[Margaret Diann]

This was an informative link on Gulf War Vets

... relating to studies in health chances in Iraq in the 1990s

My thoughts:

First I noticed a preponderance of what I would expect from the oil 'cleanup' chemical used in 1989 (you know, 2-butoxyethanol)

Then I looked at the links. The author of the articles is truly a specialist in physics & nuclear science. I notice the only cancer mentioned in the 3rd link ... with DU as a known exposure was significantly elevated thyroid cancer

So, why wasn't this a mentioned cancer in Iraq?

Maybe for these things:

• Severe immuno-deficiencies
• Renal and hepatic dysfunction (kidney/Liver)
• Leukemia, aplastic anemia (bone marrow failure to produce blood cells), and malignant tumors
• Congenital heart deformities
• Childhood leukemia
• Significant increase in seminal fluid abnormalities
• An increase of birth malformations
• A cancer "epidemic" of leukemia and stomach cancer
• Birth Defects

... and the article concludes that at least it didn't come from ammunition ... so ...

Except for aplastic anemia (an effect of benzene in oil) & some resultant leukemia for these individuals,

all the other things on this list are things that 2-butoyxethanol does cause. Most expecially the kidney and liver dysfunction and birth defects and harm to testes.

Maybe better check and see if someone didn't grab our old 'cleanup chemicals' strong in 2-butoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) & start throwing them around?

Look what happened to those who lived close to a beach sprayed with "Inipol EAP 22" in 1989
