Lou Gehrig's Disease - autoimmune?
I think it must be, because I was told by a VA doctor that Lou Gehrig's is the one for sure thing that the 'gulf war syndrome' vets did get. So, since I suspect 2-butoxyethanol poisoning ... and since it seems to cause autoimmune lots of things ... including hemolytic anemia (per the literature on 2-butoxyethanol) ... then

My question: "Is Lou Gehrig's Disease or ALS ... autoimmune?"

I believe the answer is YES

So, now my next question, "Could Lou Gehrig have been overexposed to 2-butoxyethanol before this started up?"
