Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I needed to run this by others, see if anyone has come across information on it or had it. My dad was told he had myotonic dystrophy. They ran dna and he does not have it. However, his muscle biopsy showed dystrophy in the muscle cells and his exam presents with myotonic muscle activity. So now they are asking questions about what things he might have been exposed too. What kind of chemicals. As you can guess, doctors are mystified. I think it's metals because that fits with all his other signs, ailments and known past exposures. I am wondering, has anyone out there come across any medical research that indicates long term Lead can cause this..other than the Life Extensions website? Which I did read, and indicates Lead for this. I am prompting for them to request urine porphyrins. I know he has mercury...he has a lot of amalgams. He also had a lot of Lead exposure as a child and some as an adult. Worked around chemicals too. Any ideas or information is appreciated. You can email me so we don't clog up the list with this. I am slowly working them towards amalgam removal and chelation. However, they are older and have not completely accepted that doctors don't know everything. I need evidence...and a suggestion of testing that their specialist could run. He is sick and has been for about 10 years, it just keeps getting worse. Thanks in advance.
