The Health Dangers of Arsenic
Unfortunately, the signs and symptoms of chronic arsenic exposure can
easily be overlooked or misdiagnosed as something else. For example, early
symptoms include:
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Skin discoloration or lesions, including hyperkeratosis
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
I usually really appreciate most of his health information, but sadly he
falls short regarding his terminology and understanding of CFS. He treats
it like many naturopaths do, suggesting that if we only regulate our
nutrition, stress, exercise and habits, all will be well. We all know that
only brings about recovery for patients who were misdiagnosed in the first
place, as much as those things are helpful in a true CFS patients' journey
to health. It is too bad, because someone like Dr. Mercola could be a
powerful ally if he understood better. He has a huge internet following and
is known for being vocal about problems with our medical establishment, He
just needs a nudge to educate himself better on the issues surrounding CFS,
imho. I left a long comment, and I would love to see a few more comments
added so maybe he will pay attention.
Thanks,
Heide
