Medical Research on the Effects of Toxicity

Medical research is proving out with increasing certainty that autism, cancer, attention deficit disorder (ADD), Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and many other terrible degenerative conditions often turn out to be misdiagnosed heavy metal toxicity. Increasing sophistication in modern hair mineral analysis and interpretation is proving out the direct correlations between toxicity, deficiency and disease.

Here are a few references from medical texts and research papers in regards to heavy metals and their relationship to many of the most troubling conditions of our modern era.

Parkinson's Disease

"Parkinsonian symptoms are frequently associated with chronic elementary mercury toxicity."
- "Clinical Toxicology", Ford, first edition, 2001

ADHD, Autism and other Developmental Disorders

Environmental exposure to heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, causes neurotoxicity and leads to developmental disorders. It has been proposed that the recent dramatic rise in the incidence of autism is linked to the increased number of required vaccinations containing the ethylmercury derivative thimerosal"
- Richard Deth, PhD and Mostafa Waly, PhD, Northeastern University, Boson, MA
"Effects of Mercury on Methionine Synthase: Implications for Disordered Methylation in Autism"

The onset of autistic symptoms generally follows the administration of thimersal in vaccines, and symptom emergence is consistent with expression of mercury toxicity.

"Molecular Psychiatry" (2002) 7, S42-S43

Fibromyalgia
This small subgroup of FMS patients had a dramatic response to minimizing their exposure to toxic metals and reducing their toxic metal body burden.
- Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, Ph.D.
"Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Heavy Metal Toxicity"

Schizophrenia
In the segment on mercury poisoning: "Psychotic episodes with delirium, hallucinations and motor hyperactivity have been reported."
- "Textbook of Clinical Neurology", by Goetz, second edition, 2003

Multiple Sclerosis
"Rarely, an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like syndrome may be seen in lead or mercury poisoning."
- Moore and Jefferson, second edition, 2004, page 338
"Handbook of Medical Psychiatry"

Respiratory Issues
Occupational exposure to inorganic arsenic in copper smelting causes a 2- to 14-fold increase in respiratory cancer risk.
- Murray and Nadel, third edition 2000, page 1400
Textbook of Respiratory Medicine

Cancer
"Medicinal use of inorganic arsenic was associated with skin cancers in the early 20th century. More recently, excess skin cancer has been observed in populations exposed to arsenic contaminated drinking water." & "Elevated risk of prostate and lung cancer among workers exposed to cadmium has been reported."
- Abeloff, second edition (2000), Page 289 & 290
"Clinical Oncology"

Clearly, the effects of environmental toxicity on the human body is well documented, and undergoing increasing research by the medical community.
