Diagnostik und Therapie der Umweltgifte

Journal/Book: Ärztezeitschrift für Naturheilverfahren. 1991; 32/10: 847-861.

Abstract: Diseases that are the result of the environmental contamination are mostly characterized by unspecific symptoms which are due to a cumulative-toxic process of various substances in the range of low doses. There is a chronic toxic effect in doses which are far below those that would cause an acute intoxication. Unknown toxic reactions render it difficult to reveal a chain of causal effects. Stopping the exposure is often the only effective therapeutical measure but in case of ubiquitous environmental poisons this can often only be achieved by political action. Therefore, the aim is the short-term avoiding of additional intoxications which belongs to the responsibility of each single individual. Important sources of toxins are the living area at home that may cause the sick-building syndrome and the amalgam that may cause a chronic heavy metal poisoning which can both be avoided and treated by antidotes.
