Re: Places for sigmoidoscopy with mucosa scraping test?

The method Cahill uses to detect Histolytica are mentioned in acknowledge medical literature already in the 1930's

yes this is true. already in 1930's the classical accepted medical literature told stool test were unreliable for detecting E. Histolytica, and that if stool test missed it then normally mucus scrapings would detect it if one had EH.

This is well known (was well known), and described in some of the best books on tropical medicine, not only in Cahills excellent book.

This is what is so remarkable and surprisingly. Many even infection specialists seems to keep ignoring the literature. It is shocking. If this was a new recent invention test method by Cahill one could understand few doctors used the method,.

But this is a method known to be much much better at detecting Histolytica than stool tests since the 1930's. I would not even be surprised if much more doctors practiced sigoidscope for EH detection in these older times.

I am surprised so many infection specialists seems more interested in defending their Ego, rather than look up the literature, and think may be they are doing something wrong, and that they may be need to discuss more with doctors that have specialised in known tests. Also on treatment methods they need to discuss more.

Unfortunately many patient suffer unnecessary.

One of the best Nobel Prize winners (that I not will mention here) indicated that knowledge not necessary keep increasing. And clearly many doctors ignore old well known and well tested information on how to test etc. Defending their own ego seems to be most important. If they have diagnosed patients in year after year with IBS and other crap it is naturally very though for them to admit they possibly have been wrong all the time. That if they had done proper diagnose as described in literature many of their patients could likely have been cured. How can they admit that now? send out letters to thousands of patients and admit their IBS diagnosis just likely just were crap? That they will have to evaluate patient for free...These ignorant doctors would never do this? they would even be so afraid of getting sued. It is better for them to keep defending each other and hold on to their own ego than to truly try to find out what is causing IBS, chronic fatigue syndrome and other syndrome symptom diagnoses.
