Product Description:
This book contains scientific evidence and references for the techniques of environmental medicine. It is designed with the patient in mind who is being denied medical payments by insurance companies that refuse to acknowledge environmental medicine. With this guide a patient may choose to represent himself in small claims court and quote from the book showing, for example, that the Journal of The American Medical Association states that "titration provides a useful and effective measure of patient sensitivity", and that a U.S. Government agency states that "an exposure history be taken for every patient". Failure to do so can lead to an inappropriate diagnosis and treatment. This book is designed for patients who choose to find the causes of their illnesses rather than treat their symptoms with drugs for the rest of their lives. It is also for those who have been unfairly denied their insurance coverage.
