[All] CASE STUDY with Dr. Doris Rapp Pediatric Allergist and Environmental Medicine Specialist

[Robert Milligan]

Carole,

I have previously been involved -- though my company Enviro-Health  
Systems -- in the effects of low concentrations of toxic chemicals on  
human health which included the area of environmental  
hypersensitivity, one of Dr. Rapp's specialities. I have heard her  
speak many times and she is excellent. Her work and that of other  
physicians who practice
environmental medicine (I knew very well local paediatric physician  
Don Basteado [now deceased] who included environmental & alternative  
medicine in his practice.) Despite the urgings of Hippocrates to take  
environmental factors into consideration in their diagnoses, this has  
mostly not happened with most physicains -- too bad environmental  
factors are not part of the physician's Hippocratic oath. And with  
most toxicologists being hired guns for chemical company interests and  
chemists and chemical engineers not required to learn about toxicology  
-- even the biased and watered-down form such as taught by UofG's  
Canadian Centre for Toxicology might be better than nothing ("Forgive  
them  Father, for they know not what they do" -- how convenient!).

Doris Rapp's dietary modification (probably fluoride-free water and  
toothpaste were part of the modification) form of treatment does  
suggest that fluoride can be a neuro-toxin &/or
neuro-allergen. Of course Rapp's clinical success does not constitute  
scientific proof but is very suggestive of negative neurological  
effects. But, I would argue that her work is more than sufficient to  
trigger the Precautionary Principle. Unfortunately our MOH's are more  
in the public relations business and insufficiently in public/ 
environmental health.

I am currently advocating that we need to set up programs to help make  
people in our Region at least smarter, more knowledgeable and wiser so  
as to both better: 1) adapt to the World's increasing complexity, and  
2) participate in the new Knowledge Economy/Society.
(UofW Pres. David Johnston helped bring this problem of many  
undereducated people in  our Region in connection with his Knowledge  
Capital of Canada idea.) Chemicals that interfere with neurological  
functioning -- even if a theoretical grey scale of severity of  
negative effects is clustered more towards the small % of the  
population end -- can contribute synergistically (with other  
environmental, genetic, epigenetic, ... factors) so as to have  
negative health effects much beyond the anticipated effects of that  
single factor.
Even some chemicals, etc. factors which test o.k. (although most  
health/environmental effects testing methods and frequency are very  
inadequate) may negatively affect some individuals because of that  
person's particular bio-chemical, etc. uniqueness. Especially as every  
human life -- mostly because of their uniqueness/diversity/variety/ 
difference/... -- plays a role in sustaining and advancing our Complex  
World, therefore decreasing their ability to so function should never  
be tolerated.

I would like to find out more about the harmful neurological effects  
of fluoride compounds -- including combined with other chemicals they  
may often occur with in  the human body such as bromides (from fire  
retardants in furnature, etc.) -- based on both clinical practice and  
the
very sparse experimental work usually to "prove" no harm to protect  
industry from lawsuits.
(This research paper on atrazine involving 2 UofG+ toxicologists could  
be such research,
http://toxsci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/86/2/273 -- we  
have to assume that they did no "cooking". yet I remember in  
university chemistry that we found out the desired results beforehand,  
then did the experiment in a way to produce those results & get a good  
mark!)

I really appreciate the work the you Carole and Robert  Fleming are  
doing on the  fluoride issue.

Best wishes,
Robert Milligan
