Weird - idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

[Guest guest]

I just used pubmeds " related articles " thing and searches on

[idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy] and [idiopathic dilated

cardiomyopathy trace elements] to see what had been done about this

since 1999. I was very puzzled to find nothing at all. How can the

entire world ignore the ultrastructural oddities and astronomical

trace element concentrations reported here?

(patient/control ratios were

29 for silver

250 for arsenic

11 for gold

13 for Cr

22,300 for Hg (mercury)

36 for La

12,840 for Sb

14.2 for zinc)
