Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment <br>
What you can do to get better <br> How your doctor can
help <br> by Andrew Hall Cutler, PhD, PE <br> ISBN
0-9676168-0-8 <br><br>And Andy is damn
right!<br><br><br>Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment starts with a
detailed explanation of why to consider amalgam illness to
be something that some people must have by comparing
the well known statistics for how much mercury people
absorb from their fillings to the well known statistics
of how sensitive different members of a population
are to a given toxin. This is for people who really
don't know if they believe in amalgam illness or not
(the other material available is rather sensational
and I can't blame anyone reading it for having
questions) before going any further. <br><br> Amalgam
Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment discusses how to deal
with physicians if you think you have a controversial
disease - especially if you have the great "luck" to be
covered by a managed care plan. <br><br>This book
explains how the modern epidemic of disabling, incurable
chronic diseases is due to unrecognized mercury
poisoning. Many conditions, from Parkinson's disease and
autism - widely recognized as terrible afflictions - to
those like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia which,
though equally serious, are disparaged as "Yuppie flu"
can be undiagnosed mercury poisoning. The book
explains WHY mercury poisoning is so widespread, yet
seldom diagnosed. Proper diagnostic procedures are given
so that sick people can decide what is wrong rather
than trying random treatments. This book explains how
to cure chronic mercury poisoning, what to do to
control the problems it causes, and provides the real
technical information needed for diagnosis and treatment in
a straightforward manner. This down to earth book
lets patients take care of themselves. It also lets
doctors who are not familiar with chronic mercury
intoxication treat it. The book is a practical guide to
getting well. <br><br>Mercury can cause a bewildering
variety of problems. In fact, one of the major criticisms
of amalgam illness is that it is cited as the cause
of so many things. But, like the parable of the
blind men and the elephant, mercury can indeed cause
many diseases. Modern physicians are not trained to
find the root cause of a sick person's problems. They
are trained to translate what they see into latin,
look it up in their textbook, and apply a cookbook
treatment. With a toxin that poisons fundamental metabolic
processes different people will experience different
symptoms to start off, depending on their own individual
biochemistry. As the poisoning becomes more and more serious,
further symptoms surface and the modern doctor adds more
diagnoses - a patient who starts with depression might
later be considered to have hypothyroidism, allergies
and asthma in addition. But no thought is given to
why one person should develop more and more
"diseases," when a single diagnosis - chronic mercury
poisoning - could account for them all. <br><br> This is
not the first time in the history of modern medicine
that a very obvious disease was belittled and ignored.
Until recently it was believed that ulcers were
entirely psychosomatic. Ulcer sufferers underwent
prolonged treatment, were seldom cured, and often ended up
under the surgeon's knife. After years of intense
criticism and ridicule - about 20 years after the research
was published - it has finally been accepted that
most ulcers are due to helicobacter pylorii infection
which can be easily cured with appropriate antibiotic
therapy. At least by the medical schools and licensing
boards. Yet it is still common to find physicians who
still treat ulcers by prescribing acid suppressors - as
if they resulted from too much stomach acid.
<br><br>Mercury in the brain doesn't only cause neurological
symptoms - but since the brain controls hormones and the
immune system, everything in the body can be effected
from having mercury in the brain.
