PART THREE: CASE HISTORIES
Three days later
She had a blood test done yesterday. She had metal teeth (3) re-
moved this morning. Radon problem will be worked on Friday.
Oxalate, Uric Acid (Kidney Stones) NO
Continue kidney program for several months. We will now speed up
the parasite program.
: Fasciolopsis (Parasite) YES at liver and gallbladder
: Tungsten (Toxic Element) YES; electric oven NO; toaster
YES
She never uses the toaster (has not used in a few months). We have
not positively identified the source of her tungsten yet.
: Asbestos (Toxic Element) YES at liver and lungs; clothes
dryer NO; electric heater YES; hair dryer NO
This is a 3-4 year old electric oil heater shaped like a radiator. It was
washed first. Then they placed a damp paper towel on top and over
the air vent to make the sample for testing. They are fond of it but
will turn it off.
: Cadmium (Toxic Element) YES
She is off caffeine now. We tested hot water from HardeesTM where
they often eat. It had tungsten in it. She will buy milk there instead.
They have an electric water heater which may be putting out
tungsten. They will bring in a sample of the hot water to test for
tungsten.
Six days later
They have had plastic sheet put under their trailer two days ago for
radon protection. She is removing her earrings that have metal posts.
She can get polyethylene posts.
: Tungsten (Toxic Element) YES at liver and lungs
Toast: YES (positive), but she has not eaten toast for 2+ days.
: Tungsten(Toxic Element) YES hot water from kitchen fau-
cet
It is an 8 year old electric water heater. They will drain it and re-
place heater element to see if this clears up the tungsten problem. If
not, they will get a gas water heater. They will also bring in a cold
water sample next time.
: Fasciolopsis (Parasite) YES at colon, gallbladder and liver
