Dr. Amin Is Working With CDC

[joyesn01]

I apologize in advance for driving you all crazy! I'm so sorry. It's just that I am overwhelmed by this disease. Anyway, I decided to give Dr. Amin a call from http://www.parasitetesting.com/door/. I just spoke with him(or associate). I was to nervous to actually ask with whom I was speaking. I was told that they are in fact working with the CDC on NCS(AKA Morgellon's Disease). He also told me that all of his patients have been 100% cured. I really don't know if this is in fact true, but it looks promising. Do any of you live in the Arizona area where the clinic is located? If so, maybe you could go see him and see if there is really some hope there. Once again, I apologize for posting so much. I promise that it is only with heart and that I truly am trying to help. Not to mention, doctors f***ing piss me off to no end. Oh, the man I talked to said that they also had an article published in Explorer magazine recently. I guess I'll have to look that up too.

I have seen a post somewhere on the internet where someone did not think his protocol worked and in fact the person seemed upset that he had to buy a lot of supplements from Amin for his wife and the guy was not even an md. Well, if you get on the Amin's site you can figure out the doctor part, so I wondered about the person's wife who went to see him without being able to figure that out before hand (seems as if one would ask if nothing else when arranging the appointment in the first place). I do think there is a dental connection for some and heavy metal accumulation in tissues may be a problem for all, but many who are very sick do not have extensive dental work so IMHO this is not the whole answer. Though, in today's world, accumulation of heavy metal may be quite widespread even without dental work. I do believe this is in the background of morgs, maybe not the cause but a factor which if not dealt with may make it more difficult to recover from morgellons.

TCM that's a very sensible reply.... yes, I heard a story (probably the same as you) sometime ago about Amin and that he was'nt a doctor and that it involved a lot of expense.. I wonder if it is true that he's working with the CDC.. great if he is but Be careful.. having said that, I'm sure the metal/mercury etc. bit has a lot to answer for. I had one of my mercury fillings removed from a dentist who believes a lot of health problems are caused by these fillings. Unfortunately I have a lot more which would involve extensive dental work that I can't possibly afford... Millyx

I'm curious where you read that Dr. Amin is not a doctor? Here is a small bio that I found...
"Dr. Omar M. Amin has B.Sc., M. Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry, Biological
Sciences, Medical Entomology, Parasitology and Infectious Diseases from Cairo Univ.,
Egypt and Arizona State Univ., USA. He has held research positions in the US Naval
Medical Research Unit # 3 (NAMRU-3), Cairo, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC),
Atlanta, Georgia and the University of Wisconsin, USA where he was a Professor of
Parasitology and Epidemiology. He is the founder and current Director of
the Parasitology Center, Inc., and the Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Tempe, Arizona. He
is a nationally and internationally recognized authority in the field with over 135 major
publications."

He is a professor of parasitology and has a few other qualifications as you say, but I can't see that he is a doctor of medicine.. Maybe I'm wrong. Milly

Hi Joye, welcome to this forum.

Thanks for the info and the link to Neuro-Cutaneous Syndrome, very interesting - I hadn't heard of Dr Amin before.

It focuses on sealant products as the cause - I'd be interested to see what's said in Explore about them. He doesnt mention mercury at all, he does talk of metals though, I guess maybe some of the products he mentions contain mecury.

What I don't understand is, if he's claiming 100% success rate, why oh why did he choose to report the cases that he did??

Case 1: Me: "Made considerable progress...but died from an injection"
Case 2: JM: "is beginning to show improvement"
Case 3: LG: "All NCS symptoms resolved" (phew)
Case 4: BS: "His recovery is underway"
Case 5: PO: "Is currently improving"

Don't you think it's strange?

Jo, I thought that was strange.... 'her symptom profile remains unchanged'.. 'we would have liked her to continue with the treatment' etc... the examples given certainly do not show that everyone is cured, in fact most while maybe improved in the cases that have persevered, have not shown complete cure.. This differs from he says on his website... all very confusing... Millyx

Yeah, confusing and it leaves out everyone who does not have dental sealants or heavy metal fillings or other possibly incompatible dental fillings. I do not believe this theory comes close to describing all that may be involved in the morgellons syndrome.

[tcmgpt13]

Sorry, joyesn01, I said he did not seem to be an md: "...the guy was not even an md." And from all the degrees you listed about this man he still does not appear to be an md, but does seem to possess a doctorate.

I looked into Dr. Amin a year ago or so and I thought his protocol was directly related to removing mercury fillings. I have a whole mouthful of them and the cost is definitely prohibitive. People have to be very careful about having their mercury removed as if its not done carefully, the removal process can stir up more problems than the fillings cause in the first place.

My llmd did heavy metal testing for me and while my mercury was definitely elevated, my lead was higher than mercury.
