Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Respectfully, I don't think that drug companies give a hoot if their drugs are treating a genetic disorder or something else as long as they're making a buck. My treatment (for a genetic disorder unrelated to thyroid) is nothing new and actually very cheap. If it were the drug company's say, they would have continued treating me as I was being treated pre-diagnosis with more than 12 prescriptions of very expensive unnecessary meds instead of the 2 very old, very cheap meds I now take. Mercury used to be used to very commonly treat a variety of diseases and disorders hundreds of years ago. People died by the handfuls of Mercury Poisoning in and of itself, never mind dying at the hand of someone such as Ivan the Terrible or Atrila the Hun, crazy with mercury poisoning. Same with lead which was used by most women daily as makeup among other things. By numbers autism and such diseases should have been rampant prior to our reduction in the use of mercury fairly recently in the late 20th century, yet the numbers were lower. I think there is a lot at work here. There is even current research that states that supplementing T3 can bring some children out of their autism. Mercury was used commonly in Renaissance times and called " the powdering tub of infamy. " The unfortunate " scalded chickens " and " boiled stuff " were immersed in hot baths, and exposed to mercury vapor, in the form of volatilized cinnabar (a red substance containing mercury). Mercury poisoning was common from Renaissance times until the twentieth century, given its wide variety of medicinal, cosmetic, industrial, and scientific uses. Mercury poisoning was common enough in ean times that it was referred to as The White Devil. Ivan the Terrible became addicted to the ingestion of mercury (a common addiction of the time), which he kept bubbling in a cauldron in his room for his consumption. Mercury was among the first metals known, and its compounds have been used throughout history. Archaeologists found mercury in an Egyptian tomb dating from 1500 BC. The Egyptians and the Chinese may have been using cinnabar as a red pigment for centuries before the birth of Christ. In many civilizations mercury was used to placate or chase away evil spirits. The alchemists thought that mercury, which they associated with the planet Mercury, had mystical properties and used it in their attempts to transmute base metals into gold. The Greeks knew of mercury and used it as a medicine. Mercury and mercury compounds were used from about the 15th century to the mid 20th century to cure syphilis.
