I agree, Tom. They treat the symptoms. When I go to the doctor, they never look up my history and see that I have this and this and this. They just prescribe a drug for the symptom at the time.

When I went to the doctor at 19 saying there was something wrong with me, if they had been thorough they could have looked up my medical history up until that point ie.

migraine
headache
rhinitis
yeast problem
pins and needles
absent menses
fatigue
poor vision
floaters

and then start to look at what could be causing all these things.

For the next ten years of tests and scans, not one doctor ever asked me if I had amalgam in my mouth. This is very poor as sensitivity to amalgam is recognised by the medical profession in my country, so they should at least be on the look out for it.
