THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
atrophy. Cases of industrial poisoning are rare, however. Thal-
lium is an experimental teratogen [used to induce birth defects
for study]. When heated to decomposition they [sic] emit highly
toxic fumes of Tl [thallium]. See also THALLIUM and specific
compounds.^24Fig. 61 Thallium excerpt.Thallium pollution frightens me more than lead, cadmium and
mercury combined, because it is completely unsuspected. Its last
major use, rat poison, was banned in the 1970s. Every
wheelchair patient I tested was positive for thallium! One current
use for thallium is in Arctic/Antarctic thermostats. When added
to mercury the mercury will stay liquid at lower temperatures.
Are mercury suppliers then providing the dental industry with
tainted amalgam?
The cancer causing or carcinogenic action of metals has been
studied for a long time, although it doesn't get attention by our
regulatory agencies. A scientific book on this subject was
published in 1980.^25 One table from this book is shown on page
- We can see that chromium and nickel compounds are the
most carcinogenic metals. Nickel is used in gold crowns, braces,
and children's crowns!
Note that the form of the metal is very important. For instance
chromium is an essential element of glucose tolerance

(^25) The title is Carcinogenicity and Metal Ions. It is volume 10 of a
series called Metal Ions in Biological Systems, edited by Helmut Sigel.
A university chemistry library should have this book. It has a fascinat-
ing chapter on the leukemias by two scientists from the Academy of
Sciences of the USSR, E. L. Andronikashvili and L. Mosulishvili. Their
brilliant work and discussion was largely responsible for my pursuit of
the whole subject of cancer.
