is there epidemiologist who can evaluate scientists opinions on mercury health effect?

The U.S Dept. of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can point you to state or federal officials who can review the findings. The scientific arm of the people that investigate are National Institute for Occupational Health, (NIOSH) and Centers of Desease Control (CDC)

I have heard that th Drug and food authority are saying that there is high levels of mercury in the fish that they use for making sushi and other Japaneese  products where the fish is not cooked

I have been through a series of psychiatrists and many many drug combinations and have experienced many strange side effects that my shrinks claim to never have heard of. So no as far as the popular idea of science I believe it is quackery... I often feel like I am part of an experiment on a very grand scale. The early death, toxicity, disease that I may or may not experience has been ignored because so often people with MI have no one to advocate for them in any truly threatening way i.e., impacting pocketbooks...Their is no test that can be run to tell what disease I have... It is all self-report or observation   which becomes filtered through life experience....High paid quacks I say.

I think it depends on who they are. A physician might seek out questions about health and nutrition, however I think most people just refresh the home page until they find a question that appeals to them.

If you are really interested in this topic, I recommend reading "The Plutonium Files," a recently published book. It reports on the negative health effects of uranium and plutonium, specifically the results of secret tests performed on civilian citizens and members of the military, by our government. (Almost all of whom were unaware they had unwittingly become guinea pigs.) Very interesting and informative.

Actually, I'm an epidemiologist, and i have read papers concerned the links between paternal age and rates of autism. then again, correlation doesn't equal causation, and golly, it seems everything's being blamed for autism these days.\n\nanyway, if a BMJ article can surface in the US and get read by me, then I'm sure it's not lacking for attention. Andy es, i have seen Yahho!News postings about advanced paternal age and its association with various health outcomes.\n\ndid you want me to post a blurb from it? i have access to BMJ from this terminal.

I'm a RN who has taught Nursing for over 20 years in numerous clinical settings.  I am so sorry to hear about your father's health problems and I understand your concern about how to best manage the symptoms medically.  You have described his lab results and present symptoms very well.  Except for the constipation which can be quite easily managed, the remainder of his symptoms are significant CNS symptoms causing his brain dysfunction.  I agree with his doctors' provisional diagnosis based on the medical/clinical information you presented and also encourage you to facilitate chelation therapy  for your dad as soon as possible.  BAL is a harmless compound used for binding the mercuric ion to it but the therapeutic usefulness of BAL depends on its immediate administration at the acute onset of the mercury poisoning.   I think that it would be no longer useful for your dad.  I believe that your dad is experiencing chronic mercury poisoning  and Penicillamine may well be the drug of choice.  Penicillamine can be administered orally and appears to chelate mercury selectively, with considerably less effect on copper, which is essential to many metabolic processes.  Your dad's copper level was borderline low so you would want to preserve as much copper as possible which Penicillamine does.  Penicillamine has an advantage of being well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the excretion of mercury in the urine.  N-Acetyl-dl-penicillamine is even more effective than Penicillamine in protecting against the effects of mercury on the brain, probably because it is more resistant to metabolic degradation, and it has the advantage of being less toxic.  I'm not as familiar with the use of DMSA or DMPS as chelating agents for mercury removal from the brain.  Also you did not mention your dad's kidney function.  Mercury is highly toxic to the kidneys and I suggest that the functioning of his kidneys be evaluated.  I also suggest that your dad be assessed by a neurologist as soon as possible if that has not yet occurred due to the serious CNS symptoms that your dad is presently experiencing.  I wish your dad God's blessings and healing touch.  Good luck to you.

It would appear that as of April 2005 they are still hearing his call once a year.  Mary Ann Daher was one of the scientists that is participating in the research.  She can be reached through e-mail mdaher@whoi.edu

No, I expect he'd find it facinating.  Scientists by their very nature are open minded.  They know things to be true if they are faced with the facts and true scientists can admit when they are wrong without feeling they are losing face.  Not that I think he is wrong.

Visit this page http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Science/Scients.htm ... I believe it has a complete list of all the scientific men and women you might be looking for. I just want to help you out.

Any of the heavy metals, or benzene products would be excellent topics. If you attempt to present a case on a chemical that's too obscure you'll have a difficult time finding enough research/clinical trials to support your claim. Peruse the EPA website to get some other ideas.

Boy, this is a hard one.  There re so many! Mine would have to be in regards to health care, pharmaceutical science and the vaccination / autism debate.  Big pharm and the CDC still swear that the mercury preservative thimerosal that was once freely pumped through the veins of American Children, has absolutely nothing to do with the huge increase in autism in the last 15 years.  Oddly, now that enough parents and Doctors pushed the CDC to have it remove from vaccines... and the CDC, (in order to appease the general public) politely requested big pharm to remove it from childhood vaccinations...the rates have dramatically dropped, thus the autism epidemic and other neurodevelopmental disorders are on the decline.  The Theory that mercury was safe for tiny children was the biggest scientific blunder of the millennium. Now the health care and educational cost of raising these children will reach well into billions of dollars annually.  (not to mention the grief and hardship of the families of these children)
