BOGUS DIAGNOSES
Immunology/Allergy Societies and other medical associations related to gastroenterology/hepatology worldwide do not accept the following diagnosis and therefore cannot be accepted by health insurance companies.
- LEAKY GUT SYNDROME
- CANDIDA SENSITIVITY (Yeast Allergy)
- MERCURY TOXICITY (Amalgam Toxicity)
- ELECTRICAL HYPERSENSITIVITY
- ELECTROMAGNETIC HYPERSENSITIVITY
- ENZYME DEFICIENCY (generalized)
- MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSIVITIES
- SICK BUIDLING SYNDROME
- REWARD DEFICIENCY SYNDROME
- WILSON’S SYNDROME
- ADRENAL DEFICIENCY (generalized)
- MAGNETIC DEFICIENCY
These diagnoses are not recognized by the scientific community. Some practitioners apply one or more of these diagnoses to almost every patient they see. The health-food industry profits from this process by selling books promoting these alleged conditions and supplement concoctions claimed to help them. Some "fad" diagnoses have been around for years, while others are recent creations.
The National Council Against Health Fraud has issued the following warning:
Some fad diagnoses seem almost to be interchangeable. Large numbers of people are scammed in the same way for different conditions, by a variety of practitioners and unlicensed personnel. It is as though there is a "menu" of quack treatments that they can choose for a variety of alleged conditions depending on the patient's susceptibility and pocketbook and the practitioner's guile, gall, and greed.
From 2010 onwards Health Authorities will check practitioners more thoroughly and insurance companies should be warned not to accept practitioners who diagnose the above “diseases/disorders”. |
