Dear Physicians, Dentists, and other Healing Professionals:

Based upon the medical literature, experiences of individuals, principles of chemistry and biochemistry, and evidence in my own clinical practice, I would like to challenge anyone to conclusively prove that the toxicity induced by the element MERCURY in its varied forms is not the PRIMARY, DIRECT and/or INDIRECT (i.e. root) cause of ANY and ALL of the following disorders:

All Neuritis and Neuropathies Alzheimer's Disease Amyloidosis Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Arteriosclerosis Asthma Autoimmune disorders Benign Essential Tremor Bipolar Disease Birth defects, including "genetic" Bleeding gums Cancer of every type Candida Syndrome Canker Sores Cardiac Arrhythmias Cardiomyopathy Cataracts Chronic infections Chronic inability to gain weight Deafness Depression, Endogenous Diabetes Mellitus Down's Sundrome Endometriosis Environmental Illness Erythema Nodosum Essential Hypertension Fibromyalgia Glaucoma Hashimoto's thyroiditis Headaches Hodgkin's Disease

Huntington's Chorea Hyperlipidemia Hypoglycemia Hypothyroidism Immunodeficiency states Infertility Interstitial Cystitis Leukemia Macular Degeneration Memory loss Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Multiple Sclerosis Nephrotic Syndrome Obesity Osteoporosis Parkinson's Disease Periodontal gum disease Premature births Rheumatoid Arthritis Sarcoidosis Schizophrenia Sinusitis, chronic Sleep apnea Spastic Torticollis Suicide Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Thyroiditis Tic Doloreaux Tinnitus Ulcerative Colitis Vertigo

HINT: One possible method might be to start by encountering a population in a land-locked third world country [a people which don't eat ocean fish and sea foods, and which have not had any mercury-containing dental amalgams placed for at least two generations] and checking on the frequency of the above disorders in that population as compared to industrialized, dentist-served, seafood-eating populations such as found in the United States of America.

Sincerely,

Jon R. Mundall, M.D.
