Somatic Labs-POSITIVE!

[Guest guest]

One thing that Dr. Shoemaker exceptionally (and others have done partly in

progressive medicine) is to expand even the most extensive labs, and take the

body study to serious and important new realms of examination, so that it is

very clear from many hormone systems, inflammation systems, protein systems, and

others that the somatization is impossible based on the labs. And this can be

done at the nations largest labs, so one does not have to fight over the

individual lab--they are ones most USA docs use. In this Shoemaker has added

much to new medicine.

Things like low MSH and inflammation always effect the brain first and worst. So

what is the surprise that the most fragile organ shows some signs? It is utterly

amazing what passes as expert mental health science. The tools are there to

burst out of the simplistic basic training these folks have and look beyond a

few new drugs or new studies each year and realize this is a flaming serious

thing. Wake up dear boy and blow your nose for an hour. You might have an idea

from the 90's if blow long enough.

[] Rolling Uterus? Moss? Toxic Mold? Disgusting and

Derogatory!!!!!!!

This is by far the most outrageous paper to date. They took 6 medical exams

done by defense court order and made the broad conclusion we are all just a

bunch of women (uteruses) that need psychiatric help. Never mind what

illnesses mold/mycotoxin are well known to cause.

I think this is retaliatory because Saxon of Harbor UCLA has been

forced to disclose how much money he is generating as an expert witness for

the

defense in mold litigation when he writes within medical journals both here

and in the UK, (which BTW, is up to $70K per case!!!)

Roll on, Uteruses, Roll on!!!!

" Has the rolling uterus finally gathered moss? Somatization and malingering

of cognitive deficit in six cases of " toxic mold " exposure. "

This article reports six cases of litigants claiming neuropsychiatric

impairment due to toxic mold exposure. In spite of recent growth in personal

injury

claims due to mold, numerous reviews of the literature have failed to find

an association between environmental exposure to mold and neuropsychiatric

and/or neuropsychological damage. We report data on six patients claiming

harm,

4 of whom revealed a long history of somatization by history and

psychological testing, and 2 of whom were shown to be malingering based on

multiple

indicators of non-credible performance. Of the 6 patients, only the 2

somatoform

patients who were also depressed showed credible evidence of

neuropsychological dysfunction. We review two other studies that have

examined the link

between mold exposure and cognitive impairment and discuss their limitations

in

view of the presenting behaviors of these 6 patients. Until the literature

has

established a credible link between mold and

neuropsychiatric/neuropsychiatricneuropsychiatric/<WBR>neuropsychologic<WBR>al

impairment, jurists and clinici

harm of exposing somatoform patients to multiple unwarranted medical

evaluations. Principles for forensic evaluations in this special population

are

reviewed.
