Hi, Paul,

Here in the US, the dx has to be recognised by the AMA to take on credibility. But even then this is not actually always the case. As I mentioned earlier, celiac disease is still questioned by some docs. Also, prior to the arrival of Dr Alessio Fasano (from Italy) on America's shores in the late 1990's, celiac disease was taught in US med schools as a rare disease, mainly of children, causing wasting and diarrhea, which the normal physician would likely never encounter in his practice during his lifetime. We all now know this is bunk! Dr. Fasano did a study of the US Red Cross blood supply (in blood banks) in, I believe the late 1990's, and found an incidence of celiac disease in 1/133 people. Since then, in 2003, he redid his study on actual people in various parts of the US and found the incidence to be 1/100 people. This was not a genetic test, which would net a much larger incidence, but a blood test for active cd. So that tells you alot about how flawed our
medical system is. I had cd from infancy and was dxed at age 49 (in 2000). I can thank Dr. Fasano directly for that, because without him, docs would still not be able to dx it.

My 2 cents,
Diane

What is the definition in medical terms of Diagnosis, what established
criteria do we have and if so has the medical mainstream taken this on board and
oficially endorsed the diagnostic criteria and so on... There are many diseases
that have diagnostic markers,clues but often a process of illimination is
used to arrive at a ultimate diagnosis, ES like so, for many the symptoms are
so difuse that simply placing someone close to an offending device/devices
will not serve as a diagnosis particularly as we are now swamped by esmog.

I have had written oppinion from Dr David Dowson here in UK for purposes of
employment tribunal, where he stated that he considered that I was ES on
balance of subjective evidence, but a Diagnosis was not expressed.
Who is qualified to diagnose and so on ....
