Another question for chemists (or their spouses)

The hair coming out of my child's scalp in clumps is really funny, too. I'm laughing my ass off at it. No, actually, I'm trying to find out what the hell is wrong and i'm doing it via google before I go to the appointment with the pediatric neurologist. Fuck you. |

and then we wonder why doctors barely respect/talk/discuss issues with the patients... people think that googling terms will make them learn it all. doctors spent YEARS at school reading, studying, being tested... and you prepare yourself for a conversation with the doctor using GOOGLE? you really want us to laugh at you. sorry for the baby though... |

| Um, not the PP, but I absolutely google medical stuff when I have a problem and am waiting for a doctor's appointment. Same reason people post medical questions here (have you seen the expectant moms board?!). Some of us want to get what information we can -- even if it's not 100% reliable - whilst we anxiously wait to meet with a doctor. |

I was asking the question of chemists, not of you, bitch. |

It's blowing my mind that you can laugh when I am desperate for information about my very sick child. You are an ugly, ill person. Ugly. |

educated parents look for information from the right source. google causes only anxiety and gives inaccurate information. we should know better by now people! do you ask a pedicurist to fix your expensive car? look for reliable information is the least we can do to take the right decision. after cases like this i understand why the medical class has little to no respect to our right to question their actions. |

OP, I pieced together a few of your comments above, and I'm assuming you're probably the person who posted recently asking whether aluminum oxide is a heavy metal or not. Is it your theory that the fluoride in drinking water bonded with aluminum oxide in your water filter, and then somehow transported the aluminum oxide to your son's body, where the bonded chemicals were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause problems? And you're trying to test that theory by adding calcium to the water to see whether aluminum oxide will precipitate out? I'm no doctor, but I don't think it works that way. I know plenty of doctors post here, so maybe one of them will comment. More importantly, I think you just need to get your child to a doctor rather than running your own experiments (and you definitely don't want to include your child in the experiments). I assume you're already removed the water filter. I suspect there are other reasons for your child's symptoms, which sound pretty severe. Any medicines (prescribed or unprescribed)? Good luck. |

22:13, thanks, but I'm not doing any experiments. I'm just trying to learn a few things. I'm trying to understand how calcium blocks fluoride from being used by the body (which I read on a pro-fluoride site, not a conspiracy site -- i.e., don't take fluoride drops with calcium or your body can't absorb the fluoride). Do they bond together or what? Because apparently fluoride and aluminum bond. So what happens if all three of them are together?

The medical class -- that's a good one. Medical doctors are not scientists. (It takes 20 years for science to make its way down to the doctor's office.) I admire them for the amount of information they have memorized but most doctors are not interested in figuring out medical mysteries and can hardly put two and two together. They are only interested in run of the mill problems that are easily diagnosed, because another paying customer is waiting in the waiting room anyway. |

| the pp is right. i used to be a grad assistant in the lab of a very well known scientist. he had also been to med school. he often said he learned very little at med school. he said he only learned how think when he was getting his phd. he always said how sad he was many of the best and brightest students went to med school--he viewed it as a waste. |
