Pneumonia
Immunizations
This issue of a connection between thimerosal and autism has been of particular concern to both Dr. Buttar and Dr. Nash. As we reported in the June 14, 2005 issue of the e-Journal, Dr. Buttar testified in 2004 before a congressional subcommittee hearing sponsored by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) about the connection between heavy metals—particularly mercury—and autism. Dr. Buttar discussed the chelation therapy he had offered his own son, who had a profound developmental delay and is now an example of how autism can be fully and permanently reversed in some children. Dr. Nash was one of a number of experts who joined with Rep. Burton’s House Government Reform Subcommittee on Human Rights and Wellness to refute the findings published in the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Immunization Safety Review Committee's Vaccines and Autism report of May 18, 2004. In that report, the eighth and final in a series designed to examine the safety of vaccines that contain thimerosal, the IOM Committee concluded, "The body of epidemiological evidence favors the rejection of a causal relationship between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism,” even though the Committee had in a 2001 report called such a causal relationship, “biologically plausible.” The Committee based its final conclusions on their review of approximately 10 previously conducted epidemiological studies. Of those roughly 10 studies, 5 reported probable links between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism, yet those 5 were summarily dismissed because the Committee determined the manner in which they were conducted was flawed. At that time, Rep. Burton stated, “I believe the [IOM] findings are heavily biased, and unrepresentative of all the available scientific and medical research. I think it is highly irresponsible for the IOM Immunization Safety Review Committee to purport definitive findings to the American public, which are based on selective scientific studies that are greatly flawed to begin with.”

Ophthalmologists

Macular Degeneration
Dr. Nash, who is board certified in neurology, pain medicine, and chelation therapy and is Chairman of the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology, concurs, though perhaps not 100 percent. “Most of the diseases of aging—vascular, most cancers, arthritis and others—have been shown to be associated with toxic metals and persistent organic pollutants. Vascular diseases, stroke, heart attack, plus most of the cancers and macular degeneration, have been directly linked to lead. That’s just lead," notes Dr. Nash.

Endometriosis
Other studies continue in an attempt to determine whether endometriosis, a source of chronic pelvic pain in women, may be caused by environmental agents, including exposure to man-made chemicals such as dioxin and PCBs. As far back as 1992, research showed that endometriosis in monkeys could be caused by exposure to dioxin.
Pelvic Pain

Colon Cancer
Inflammation is the body's first defense against infection, but when it goes awry, it can lead to heart attacks, colon cancer, Alzheimer's and a host of other diseases... (click to read the entire article) PDF Version

Neurology
Discussion: Lumbar stenosis does not appear to explain this patient’s gait disorder and with the dramatic response to lumbar puncture, normal pressure hydrocephalus is the most likely diagnosis. The patient has consulted with numerous neurology and neurosurgical specialists who all concur with this diagnosis and the recommended treatment by surgical shunting of the CSF. He has participated in an ongoing exercise program without much success and has received Osteopathic treatment with surprising results.
Autism
Of particular concern to those treating the diseases of aging is the possible connection between mercury and Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Nash notes, “Some of the [mercurous] vapors [from dental amalgams] reach the brain via the ethmoid sinuses. Is it coincidental that Alzheimer’s disease has shown degenerative tracts often following the olfactory connections?...There is increasing evidence of mercury associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Boyd Haley, Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, University of Kentucky, has published multiple papers on his research since the late 1980s. He has successfully reproduced the changes seen in Alzheimer’s disease in the brain homogenate of normal brains with the addition of mercury, in the form of both mercury chloride and thimerosal.” Some people hypothesize that mercury may contribute to autism on one end of the lifespan and Alzheimer’s on the other end, Dr. Nash told us. “I’m not convinced that mercury is the sole cause, but other factors may be involved. It could be a genetic thing. It appears there is a third of the people who are genetically prone to not getting rid of the metals, who may be most susceptible for Alzheimer’s disease.” In his article, Dr. Nash goes on to conclude, “The work of Haley, Aposhian, Godfrey, and others makes a strong case that mercury may cause or at the very least exacerbate Alzheimer’s disease. Studies looking at toxic metals, especially mercury, as a possible cause for Alzheimer’s disease need to be conducted. The clinical metal toxicologists have clinical experience that early metal detoxification will often stabilize and even reverse early Alzheimer’s disease. More research is needed.”
Multiple Sclerosis
Mercury is known to affect the brain and has been associated with the causation or exacerbation of degenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease... mercury is associated with autism, the degenerative diseases of the brain mentioned above, neurodevelopmental diseases, vascular diseases, nephrotoxicity, and cancer. [Clarkson TW, Magos L, Myers GJ. The toxicology of mercury—current exposures and clinical manifestations.N Engl J Med. 2003;349(18):1731-1737] points out that “the fetal brain is more susceptible than the adult brain to mercury induced damage.” Specifically, methylmercury “inhibits the division and migration of neuronal cells” and “disrupts the cytoarchitecture of the developing brain.” Recent studies have c/related the explosive increase of autism with thimerosal, an additive to many vaccines that contains 50% ethyl mercury.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Major nervous system disorders. Several recent studies have determined that the reported incidence of autism is increasing, and is now almost 10 times higher than in the mid-1980's (Byrd 2002, Chakrabarti and Fombonne 2001). The number of children being diagnosed and treated for attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has also increased dramatically in the past decade (Robison et al. 1999, Robison et al. 2002, Zito et al. 2000). The causes are largely unexplained, but environmental factors, including chemical exposures, are considered a likely contributor. Environmental factors have also been increasingly linked with Parkinson's disease (Checkoway and Nelson 1999, Engel et al. 2001).
Depression

X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Serial CT scans have shown mild ventricular enlargement and lumbar tap resulted in significant resolution of his symptoms for 24 hours. Neurosurgical consultations have unanimously recommended a shunting procedure to divert cerebrospinal fluid into the abdomen.

Whiplash
I came to Dr. Friedman barely able to move walk or sit. I had been going to a chiropractor for almost a year with no end in sight to my pain nor my mobility improving. I had a horse jump on me from 15 feet away and smashed me into a muddy creek bed. My whiplash from years earlier was horrible. My back, neck, legs and now head were all affected. I was lucky to be alive. I was in serious pain. It took another horse person who had seen (Harry) to hand me his card and say "GO SEE HIM, YOU'LL THANK ME LATER". Dr. Friedman said "I am going to have to take you apart to put you back together again". Which didn't sound good me but if other horse people LOVED him I was game to give him a try. Well, he started me on a road of healing that impacted me almost immediately! Oh we had a ways to go but Harry's gift is that he sees you as the person you are and works to help that be the norm. He even straightened my nose which my brother! from childhood knocked sideways. What hasn't Harry helped make right with all of the injuries I inflicted upon myself in one form or another. To say that I am in far less pain and happily walking, sitting, standing and horseback riding again is a miracle to me. I tell everyone about Harry we spent many a one hour session together. If I lived closer, I would be going to see him weekly. He is the best gift you can give yourself, Yes I would recommend him to anyone and do. I love you Doc, you're the best in my book but then you know that.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
I have had back pain since I was about 18 yrs. old off and on and I am now 44 yrs. old. Two years ago I had to go on a medical leave due to the back pain - treatment was meds, physical therapy and rest. Since then I have still had the back pain where it has effected every area of my life. I decided to go and see Dr. Friedman and within a few treatments my back already feels much better and I'm not on meds! I even referred my daughter for her back pain and she is doing much better as well. I love the fact that I feel like I can have a normal life again. Thanks so much!

Manual Therapy
Emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function, and has an appreciation of the body’s ability to heal itself. Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or D.O.s, take a holistic approach to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness, disease and injury using both conventional and non-traditional medical practices, along with a highly specialized manual therapy called, Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy, or OMT.

Foot Orthotics
Additional consideration is given to the use of custom foot orthotics to optimize the mechanical relationships of the forefoot, hindfoot, and ankle.
