Re: Marty Pall's recent press release

[Guest guest]

Sam,

FYI, Dr. Zeim's office tells me they disassociated themselves from Mr. Donnay

years ago and asked that her name be removed from his website.

I would also suggest that Dr.Zeim is a medical doctor who can prescribe for

patients and that her recommendations are based upon individual medical profiles

for patients.

Dr. Pall's recommendations should be referred to as part of individuals who are

using his advice as part of a self-treatment protocol or for use in partnership

with their physicians. The work of researchers can be invaluable when presented

to doctors and their applicability be tailored to the specific needs. You want

to avoid any inference that Dr. Pall is practicing medicine.

With regard to the use of supplements in therapeutic doses to improve detox

capacities (a sulfur based mechanism), it is very important to recognize that

impairments of sulfation/methylation is not the same as deficiency. While some

symptoms may subside upon supplementation, medical supervision is advisable

where accessible to make sure the system isn't retaining harmful amounts of

byproducts from faulty processing (e.g. homocysteine levels). This is indicative

of inflammation and can cause many problems.

We can't just look at theory but also have to assess the cascades of effects

from our treatment methods. All have potential for side effects and those

effects, themselves, are diagnostic in nature helping us to identify aspects of

our illnesses.

against the whole concept of Pall's protocol or is it the way he

has represented his work on this chapter? It sounds like there is a history of

issues that Albert has with Pall. I checked out his website which

looks very interesting; but also noted that he founded it along with Dr. Grace

Zeim, who I thought was a collaborator of Dr. Pall's.x
