PSYCHIATRISTS TREAT HEAVY METAL TOXICITY AS SCHIZOPHRENIA

PSYCHIATRISTS CAUSE PSYCHOSIS BY TREATING HEAVY METAL TOXICITY AS SCHIZOPHRENIA
In March 2002, Brad Ammerman was in his early 20s. He'd worked for the last two years as a metal parts grinder in a factory in upstate New York. He was making good money, had bought a car, and was getting ready to move in to his own apartment. Without warning, he began hallucinating. Over the next four or five days, he began to feel increasingly strange and started hearing voices. His father took him to the local emergency room and told the doctor that Brad worked with metals and felt that contact with metal could be the cause of his son's condition (Mr. Ammerman himself had experience with metal toxicity). The blood test showed higher than usual levels of aluminum in his blood. However, due to his behavior, Brad was sent to a psychiatric unit where he was labeled schizophrenic and placed on antipsychotic drugs. He remained on outpatient psychiatric treatment but the drugs did not help and in fact, caused him to have psychotic episodes that resulted in him being hospitalized. It was later found that work conditions were such that Brad was inhaling vapor from the metal he was grinding, as well as from the metal coolants. A neurologist confirmed that his apparent "schizophrenia" was indeed due to heavy metal toxicity. Though he suffered brain damage from the metal, he was weaned off all psychiatric drugs and has been put on high doses of fish oils and vitamin B, which have improved his condition.
