(Jan) said:*IF* you have an unanswered health problem,,,,,,,,CHECK
THE TEETH!NOT by a mainstream dentist, but an Alt. dentist who KNOWS
the dangers of metal in the mouth and root canals, and
follows correct protocol.I did, it saved my life.
The power of the mind to cause dis-ease is legendary. The
power of the mind to reverse dis-ease and create a sense of
well being is equally legendary.
With the above words as introduction I present what I
believe is overwhelming evidence that Jan Drew's
deterioration in health with respect to her peripheral
neuropathy was directly related to her reading Hulda
Clark's books and had absolutely NOTHING to do with mercury
poisoning. Note clearly that I am not claiming that
amalgams cannot cause mercury poisoning. I AM asserting
that this clearly was NOT the case with Jan Drew as she
repeatedly claims.
But I will allow Jan Drew to tell you in her own words:
On March 4, 1999 Jan Drew made the following post to usenet
(my comments will follow the complete QUOTED VERBATIM post):
Quoted message said:I have layered problems. Peripheral neuropathy, parasites,
my immune system is very weak, a antioxidant disfunction,
system is low in glutamine, insitol, glucose-insulin
interaction, fructose intolerance and the list goes on. At
age 43 I started having headaches and had one everyday all
day for 12 years. I was a patient at Diamond Headache
Clinic for 15 years, if took them 10 years to find what
drug helped me. The list of drugs I tried was 2 pages long.
I believe all those meds made my system toxic, then the
parasites(they love toxins) next to go was my digestion,
bowel problems. I hate to take all this space telling you
all I have tried. I had not seen or heard of Hulda for
years, didn't know she had written any books. When I became
aware of that, I read them. I can understand why people are
doubtful, and I am not sure I agree with all she says, but
I do know that the zapper , the kidney cleanse (which took
away all the burning & stinging-terrible pain in my feet) &
the liver cleanse works. I used Now products for the
parasites before I learned that Hulda had her own products.
They helped me, but I didn't pass any large ones until I
started on Hulda's products. I had doctored with her in the
past with good results, thus my confidence was already
established. I truly believe the parasites are the reason
for all the problems. My brother is a foot doctor, he also
believes they are. My experience with MD's was not good. I
finally had more test done at the Florida Institute of
Health (alternative) they did more in one day than the MD's
had learned in 2 years.I hope you can now understand why AF, HD, and Yarrow have
really upset me. I am happy for them if they have found
relief, but are so close minded about any opinion other
than their own, and the name calling and hate words
displayed are completely absurd.Jan
Comments:
There are a number of noteworthy observations to make:
1) Notice that Jan expresses the belief that ALL of her
problems are due to parasites (I wonder where she got
THAT idea).
2) Notice that Jan believed that the cleanses got rid
of the parasites that she believed were causing ALL
the problems.
3) Notice especially how Jan reports that following the
cleanse that the burning, stinging pain went away
COMPLETELY.
4) Notice the absence of ANY discussion about mercury
poisoning, amalgams, etc. (This is because she had not
yet read about it in Hulda's books..... she only got to
the parasite section at this point)
5) Notice the absence of Jan believing that her health
was rapidly deteriorating and that she was close to
death. In fact just the opposite was true on March 4,
1999; Jan believed that she was regaining her health
because the cleanse had gotten rid of the parasites.
And it was Hulda's special cleanse that REALLY did the
trick in her mind.
Now this was Jan's state of mind on March 4, 1999
On June 16, 1999 about three and a half months later Jan
reported that her health had been rapidly deteriorating
for MONTHS, that she could not go line dancing due to
the excruciating pain, and that she was convinced that
she had mercury poisoning secondary to amalgams and was
close to death.
What a dramatic deterioration in her health!!!!!!!!!!!!
On March 4. 1999 she felt pretty good. On June 16,
1999 she thought she was dying. That is not even four
months later!!!!
Now what caused this rapid decline in her health???
Days or weeks after making the March 4th post Jan read about
the amalgam, mercury, PN connection in one of Hulda Clark's
books. The more she read, the more convinced she became that
her amalgams were leeching mercury which caused her PN. And
the more she believed it, the more concerned she became.
Anxiety, depression, obsessive worrying then likely caused
an exacerbation of her symptoms of PN to the point where she
thought she was going to die. You see Jan was already
completely convinced that Hulda was right about the
parasites. It did not take much to convince her that Hulda
was right about the amalgams too.
And then June 17, 1999 she had some amalgams removed.
On June 17, 1999 Jan posted to usenet:
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:I have peripheral neuropathy, and have been searching for
a cause for over a year. I have read Hulda Clark's books
where she mentions the mercury problem. I am only 35 miles
from the dentist who sh is speaking with in her book. Dr.
Frank Jerome, who has written "Tooth Truth", a very
enlightening book. I had my first appointment today and
1/4 of my mouth is now mercury free. I go back tomorrow to
get another 1/4 done. Later, I will get my only root canal
pulled. I truly beleive this is the cause of my problems.
If you have a condition that the doctors can't find, it is
wise to suspect the teeth.Thanks Again,
Jan
On June 18, 1999 she had some more removed and on that
same day reports that she felt better than she had in
two years!!
Here are her exact words posted on June 18th, 1999 to
usenet
Quoted message said:
Quoted message said:I have been reading this thread. I have peripheral
neuropathy. I have found a dentist (alternative) who knows
that mercury amalgams are very dangerous. They can cause
all manner of things. He will remove them and put in
composities. I have just had 3/4 of mine remover. The
others will come out in a few weeks, along with the one
root canal, which will be extracted. If an individual has
read on this subject and is knowledgable, he will take
care of you. He has written "Tooth Truth and tells it like
it is. He tells how the ADA has covered up this problem.
So, it is just a matter of finding the right dentist. He
has people flying in from all over to get the work done. I
believe the mercury is the cause of my problems. I hav
felt better today that I have in the last 2 years, and am
looking forward to getting the rest of the mercury out and
the root canal pulled. Jan
When Jan was asked how she could feel better than she had
in two years she said that it was because she felt relief
that ALL the amalgams had been removed and that her bill
was paid off. This was clearly a LIE since Jan still had
some amalgams left and according to her would not have
them out for another few weeks.
Here are her exact words:
Quoted message said:Rich for the LAST time, I said I felt better than I had
in two years. That was very true. I had been very very
ill and my health was deteriorating fast. After much
reading and research I was convinced it was my teeth. I
wasn't absolutely positivity 100% sure, but it all fit
together and I knew I had to do something. It wasn't
easy, what if it didn't work? That was very stressful.
Finally all the work was done, the metal was out, the
bill was paid, I didn't have to sit in the dentist chairs
for hours with a rubber dam in my mouth!!!!!!!!!! Of
course I was very relieved. A big big burden was lifted.
That makes one FEEL BETTER.What's so hard to understand?
Notice closely how Jan originally claims that she felt
better than she did in two years BEFORE all the work was
done. According to her the work would not be completed for
another few weeks!!!
And when I confronted her about this contradiction Jan said:I wasn't talking to you. Jan
Obviously Jan sees no problem telling one person one thing
and then contradicting herself by telling someone else
something quite different!! This alone suggests serious
credibility issues with Jan Drew.
Remember that on March 4, 1999 she felt pretty good. But
after having three quarters of her amalgams removed she felt
even better than that. And a week later she was able to go
line dancing for the first time in months.
Discussion (opinion):
The most likely explanation IMO for Jan Drew's improvement
are psychologic factors.
I believe that the deterioration in her health was largely
due to her worrying and obsessing about her being poisoned
by mercury due to buying into the idea that the amalgams
were causing her health problems. This also occurred when
she thought she was infested with parasites.
I also believe that the improvement in her health was
largely due to her relief that she finally was getting rid
of what she believed was causing her problem. She had a
similar response after having a cleanse that she believed
got rid of parasites.
IOW I believe that Jan Drew is an excellent example of the
power of placebo and that her history is consistent with
psychologic factors affecting physical illness although I
recommend competent health professional to evaluate her for
a more definitive opinion.
I have no doubt that her mercury level is declining. After
all she had all her amalgams removed. The question is
whether at the highest level was the mercury level causing
any significant health problems for Jan Drew. Jan certainly
believes that it was. Her history, IMO, strongly suggests
otherwise.
I predict that Jan will respond to this post in one of the
following:
6)She will ignore it and/or put me in her kill file
7) She will snip most of what I say and accuse me of lying
without specifically saying what I lied about
8) She will divert from the topic by accusing me of various
things including but not limited to a)hiking in the nude
b) using her parents to belittle her, c)being obsessed
with her, d) calling me a Jew-boy, pervert or some other
creative insult from Jan "it is NEVER right to belittle"
Drew. Perhaps she will wish some disability on me.
What she will NOT do is
9) Discuss the subject in a reasonable fashion
10) Point out any lies that she continues to accuse me of
What she will likely end up doing is violating two of the
Ten Commandments:
11) Thou shalt not lie (she does this when she accuses me of
lying with respect to her history as I provided it WITH
direct citations from Jan)
12) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
(again doing this by accusing me of various things such
as lying and/or stalking).
And finally if you have unanswered health problems my
suggestion is to NOT take the advice of Jan Drew. And if you
are foolish enough to listen to her please don't say that I
did not warn you.
Aloha,
Rich
