Reply #6: Yes, these men need this info

[Dear Maggie]

Wow, I just posted this. Quite an active forum

Because the add on symptoms of this chemical's harm is so varied. (The gulf war syndrome vets can attest to that) It is almost impossible to identify this as the chemical of harm for anyone.

But I started at the other end. I studied this chemical since June, 2002 and I recognize its pattern ... very varied www.valdezlink.com/scenario.htm

I was also perplexed that doctors didn't find the red blood cell damage, until a man who was harmed by this chemical 15 years earlier had hemoglobin hematocrit in normal range, and he wasn't even making enough red blood cells. Red blood cells were just slightly under normal range, but not enough to call attention to them ... and in past urinalysis there was blood in urine, but doctors don't see a match between that and what the blood is saying.

I've learned that when there are too many immature red blood cells, there are many other tests that don't read right: white blood counts have to be adjusted; liver tests looked at differently. Maybe even the CBC

I do believe this is autoimmune hemolytic anemia that the chemical causes; and if doctors test for it they will find it. I believe this is the fatigue that has been evading medical science for over half a century.

I believe this is the fatigue of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome www.valdezlink.com/cfid_share.htm

My theory is provable. But only by those harmed by it. They become so ill; and many have no medical insurance; no families; no jobs. They alienate themselves from their own families, as those chemically poisoned look OK, but they are not well and the central nervous system damage all by itself is very terrible.
