Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Dear Lill, Think twice about the test. Tin chloride is not going to improve your kidney function or your immune system. If they find heart trouble they are only going to prescribe poisonous drugs anyway. You could get a more accurate test by going to a Chinese doctor and having him check your pulse for two minutes. Non-invasive and probably more accurate. And he would have some gentle herbs for you that would improve your kidneys, heart and immune system. Think about it. Best of Health!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Dear Lill I thank you for your messages today. I'm immensely glad now that I followed my instincts and common sense and said no to the thallium. I did tell the technicians I'd consider an MRI or maybe MRA of my heart. I read in an AMA book I was given several years ago, that they're able to define the intricacies of the heart. They work for the capillaries of the brain. Makes sense to me. The problem I can see right off here in the States is that other people get the money for the MRI OR MRA, but the thallium stress test is done in the doctor's office. I have multi health situations also. But through the information coming over in this list, I'm starting to sort it all out. I've just been going slow and steady and have tried not to allow 'them' to do anything permanent with my body. Although, Saul Pressman has suggested that I might already have Thallium poisoning from the former stress test nine years ago. What an enlightening day. I've been in the wheelchair for around eight years. I would NEVER have thought of that. Good luck and keep searching. M. Kate re: Tin Chloride test > Dear Saul, > Thank you for your concern. I already had a stress EKG and an ultrasound - and both showed irregularities. This was supposed to go a step further to show the arteries possibly clogged as well. I am also supposed to take a MRI of my brain with some contrast injected. I have a multisituation healthwise and have to go through with some of these tests to find the right order of treatment. I wish I knew of other diagnostical methods. As for Chinese doctors, I do not think they are available here. Any Norwegians knowing otherwise out there? > Lill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
