Dear Readers,
Greetings!
Hello and welcome to this week's Optimum Health Report. This issue has some
very important information for you. "The Death by Medicine" article
is quite an eye opener. Did you ever think that your keyboard is dirtier
than your toilet? It probably is! Yuck! Have a great week. - D.I. Minkoff, MD
Gambling Addiction a Psychiatric Disorder
This
is one of my pet peeves! The cycle goes like this... a group of
psychiatrists observe some non optimum behavior in a group of people;
they decide that that behavior pattern is a psychiatric disorder;
then they list that as a "disease" in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual- a book of psychiatric diagnoses and billing codes); then
a pharmaceutical drug can be prescribed without a thorough medical
workup. The person may then suffer the consequences of taking a
new drug. This sequence usually does not take into consideration
that behavioral problems are often caused by underlying physical abnormalities.
These abnormalities, while sometimes subtle, often require thorough
diagnostic testing to be discovered. . -

Fighting Forgetfulness
For all the students cramming for big tests, for all the baby boomers who stop

pot or the potty, for all of us who can't conjure up the names of people we
know we know, new help is here - and it's gone high-tech.

Death by Medicine
"Over 700,000 Americans die each year at the hands of government-sanctioned medicine,
while the FDA and other government agencies pretend to protect the public by
harassing those who offer safe alternatives."
This article is a must read. It is an analytical look at
health care that must be understood by all consumers.
If you know the truth and shortcomings of the system , you can wise,
and not be thinking that the experts always know best what is good
for you. - D.I. Minkoff, MD read

This Is Your Brain. This Is Your Brain On Mercury
We know that people with mercury fillings give off gas mercury vapor for the
entire life of the filling. These vapors enter the palate, tonsils, thyroid
gland, and, via the nerves in the mouth travel to the brain. In the brain,
they damage neurons and pathologically cannot be distinguished from Alzheimer's
disease. - D.I. Minkoff, MD learn
