Re:
He writes of a problem, but does not offer the solution, which is well-known to even many who haven't earned an MD.
A better approach would have been to cite Flechas' work on his son's urine, although its rare I've seen Dr. M reference anyone.
But not identifying the KNOWN answer that reverses the problems caused by HALOGEN IMBALANCE, means his article falls short in a key aspect, since it leaves readers with a sense of : "OMG, theres bromide everywhere, the sky is falling, what should I do ?" It instills fear without providing the well-known answer. Better for him would have been to reference the work of any one or more than one of a dozen MD's knowledgeable in this area, but I didn't see him reference a single one, or at least any significant aspect of providing the known solution. If I missed it, please excuse my oversight.
This is off topic but sometimes it seems to me that folks like to be in a "smarts contest" with one another, to prove how smart they are, and get in fits when someone else smarter comes along. In my ancestry, there's a DNA project and I recently recommended the leader check out person X's bloodline, since his mother was Scottish, while the person always claimed to have Dutch ancestry. The leader wrote back that he's known for 10 years that person X's mother is scottish. Who really gives a flying V ? How long he knew that (if he had in fact) was irrelevant, but told me he had a need to prove to me, an anonymous person who poses no threat to his anything, just how freakin smart he thinks he is.
Same on lots of internet forums, its like they're loaded with a pack of vipers who show their colors by un-necessary vicious attacks. Why ?? Is it a sign of the times that people are so brominated that they'd rather spew negativeness than the simpler act of being positive of just keeping their fingers off the keyboard ? Is it therapeutic for people to want to inflict pain on others with words from a computer, in retaliation for all of how "bad" they themselves feel they've been treated by the world, their mother in law, wife, mailman, etc ? I see it on all sorts of forums, in every subject imaginable. It sometimes gets to the point that if a person writes something with no intent whatsoever of anything other than good, other writers are so habitually accustomed to lashing that they lash where its unwarranted. I recently saw a fairly popular political journalist slam Texans for the results of the primary elections here, this person had relocated to Texas, and then basically called all Texans stupid. That ain't what ya do, move here from another place and then say bad things about the people. Since the person lives in Texas they were talking about themselves too - I think they ought move the H back where they came from.
Back to the point - Dr. M's article falls short, but it is noteworthy that he's at least acknowledged he's aware of the element Bromine, and problems with it that have been known for about a century. I suspect the medical textbooks don't discuss this and its nice he's done some extracurricular reading.
Perhaps someday he'll opine on how
Iodine reverses bromide's effects, and the most efficacious way of administering it, the necessary companion nutrients, salt flushes, and the critical timing aspect of administering the various adjuvants. Of course, he'll need to do a bunch of reading to get to that point, or have someone educate him. If he has already and I've missed it, I apologize for the oversight.
I'm not "bashing" Dr. M or anyone, just sharing my observations, take it all with a dose of bromide.
