How to convince a doctor I am mercury poisoned?

January 31, 2008

I have been very lucky because I have met the director of a

pharmaceutical research lab in Spain. He has a PhD in medicine and I

think he can understand very well this stuff. He is open minded,

clever and I think he knows lots of medicine. I have met him thanks to

a common friend of us and he has devoted me about two hours of his

time listening carefully and asking clever questions.

Convincing him of my mercury problem it is important for me, but not

only. Of course, he can help me a lot.

But if he realizes mercury is really a problem maybe he could do

something good far beyond my particular case.

I have given him a copy of AI and now I will like to convince him I am

mercury poisoned using the results of my hair elements test. I think

the two basic facts about this stuff are:

1. Mercury causes deranged mineral transport (DMT) and, conversely, if

there is DMT it is very likely it is caused by mercury.

2. Counting rules measure the likelihood DMT has happened.

I have not read yet throughly Andy's book on hair testing, but from

what I have read I think that (1) is supported mostly by Andy's

experience and not by published references. Am I right about this?

If this is the case the best I can do is to give him a copy of Hair

Test Interpretation where many cases of mercury poisoning are

described. The technical appendix in the book explaining the

mathematics supporting counting rules is only about (2), not (1).

But if there are published papers supporting (1) it will help me a lot

in convincing him. In fact, a question he asked several times and I

have not been able to answer is: if this stuff works so well, why has

not been published? (in peer-reviewed journals).

Suggestions to answer this question would be very useful too.

Of course time will help. Probably I will keep in contact with him,

since he said my case was " interesting " and he has kindly answered

several emails of mine. So when I'll start chelation and I'll start

excreting Hg and improving (as I hope to!) maybe that will be a good

argument for him.

Please note this is written by a person who honestly believes is

mercury poisoned. My intention is not to open unhelpful criticism, but

to collect as much sound support as possible.

Thank you in advance,
