Thallium Vergiftung durch Szintigrafie

Betreff: Case of Thallium Poisoning

Dear Dr. Daunderer,

A friend of mine from India, Mr. E., a male, aged about 51 years has been diagnosed in 2004 with ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease also known as Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease whch refers to a group of lung diseasaes affecting the interstitium – the space around the air

sacs of the lungs-. It concerns the alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, perivascular and perilymphatic tissues.)

At that time doctors gave him 6 months to live but he has survived till today but with a increasing complaint of incessant coughing during day and night. We did a toxin check with Dr. Hulda Synchrometer technique recently and this test showed the presence two toxins: of a:strong signal for:

a. Thallium in lung and heart tissue

b: Fibre Glass in lungs

His medical record showed that after a massive heart attack in 1998 he had two cardio tests done with Thallium injections (sintography). Before doing these diagnostic he was assured by the doctors that the injected Thallium will leave the body within 24 hrs. The medical record showed that a very good uptake of Thallium was recorded in Lung and Heart tissue.

We are not aware that my friend from India is constantly exposed to Fibre Glass at his home or in his place of work. We are wondering whether Thallium is suppressing the expelling of the Glass fibre and leading therefore to an accumulation in spite of the fact that the exposure is either minor or happened a long time ago.

Checking various papers on the removal of Thallium we have learnt that Berliner Blau (Thalli Hyle) can be used. However Thalli Hyle is a cyanide molecule and we do not want to expose Mr. E.  to an additional toxin, since the Thallium quantity is definitely not a lethal quantity, but a quantity which might degrade his life quality by inducing a secondary disease such as ILD.

We would appreciate if we could meet you, since we are currently in Munich and we would like to use this opportunity to discuss with you to set up a similar Tox Center in India and to set up a knowledge transfer to learn from your experience and make this knowledge vailable for people suffering in India. Since recently there was a case of radioactive Cobalt exposure which lead to death of several people, since medical doctors in India were not geared to deal with such cases.

We have excellent connection with the Government in India and have discussed the possibility of setting up a toxin centre in India with the support of the Government of India who have in principle agreed to support such a project of great public interest.

My business partner in India is involved in various philanthropic and charitable funding and is extremely well connected with the Government of India since his family is one of the leading business families in India. He is actually visiting Munich at the current time and is interested in meeting you to discuss both Mr E’s case as well as other possibilities of helping people in his country.

With warm regards/Mit besten Gruessen 

Dr. S. G.
