Discussion
I care about answering your questions and sharing my knowledge with you. Leave a comment or connect with me on social media asking any health question you may have and I just might incorporate it into our next listener questions podcast episode just for you!
Do you plan to release further commentary on heavy metals and morbidity/mortality?
After your interview with Dr. Walsh I found this retrospective cohort review of 20,000 New Zealanders followed for 20 years showing no consistent link between mercury amalgams and disease, with the exception of Multiple Sclerosis which .had a HR of 1.24. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15155698.
I suspect that there is a small subset of patients vulnerable to heavy metals who would benefit from detox, those with advancing neurologic diseases or autoimmunity unresponsive to other treatments.
Have you found any reliable clinical signs or conditions in which you WOULD refer a patient for heavy metal detox?
More to follow here soon…
Looking forward to it. Thank you for presenting consistently helpful clinical information- It has absolutely accelerated my development in functional medicine. So glad I have access to this information at the early phase in my career.
Way back in your November case series you mention troubleshooting common problems seen on an elemental diet.
Can you expand on the most common problems you see while implementing the ED or SED?
What role does oil of oregano play in helping reduce those problems?
I observe that oregano can be caustic / irritating to some patients and always have them take it with food. It seems that these issues would be worse on an ED…
