About the publishing history of this book (2009 edition):
 This PDF book contains two long articles, first published in the web magazineThe Art Bin in 2003. Those articles were published both in Swedish and inEnglish.Apart from the web pages, I also made PDF versions of those articles the sameyear. These book PDFs had double titles to reflect the included articles. Thus theEnglish version was titled,”A Life Redirected: The Story of an Illness & Consensus and Canaries: AboutMedical Science and its Loyalties. Two articles by Karl-Erik Tallmo”.In 2004, I published a print version of the Swedish book, now with a shorter title.For some time, I had the idea of publishing a print version of the Englishtranslation as well. Unfortunately I have not had either opportunity or strength todo that, so now I will at least publish this version of the original PDF file inEnglish – but with a new cover and a new main title that corresponds better to theSwedish book version. Therefore this PDF is called,”A Life Redirected: On dental amalgam, fibromyalgia & scientific consensus.”The text inside is the same as in the earlier PDF, and the title page is also the oldone. Compared to the Swedish print version, the only text in the book that is nownot available for English readers is the preface that was written by professor Robert Olin, a Swedish physician with a vast experience of the so-called newdiagnoses, e.g. fibromyalgia.And, in case you wonder. My health has unfortunately not improved during thelast five years. So, this spring, I have been ill for sixteen years. Please check outthe following web address, where I will upload some additional information:

The psychiatrist Per Dalén wrote: "Diseases that are not found in today's book of somatic diagnoses will in other words have to be mental. At once the physician even "knows" what caused all the symptoms, which is more rarely the case in somatic medicine." See: http://www.art-bin.com/art/dalen_en.html

It is absolutely essential to perform a correct differential diagnosis, but this is very seldom done. Physicians tend jump to the psychosomatic idea too quickly when they are confronted with symptoms they don't understand.

Ghostwriting has become widespread in such areas of medicine as cardiology and psychiatry, where drugs play a major role in treatment. Senior doctors, inevitably very busy, have become willing to ”author” papers written for them by ghostwriters[...] paid by drug companies.

I will admit to thinking about dental amalgams as fringy and scary.

If possible the patient’s symptoms should be tied to some difficult life event. A question about whether somebody in the patient’s family or close surroundings has had similar symptoms, might make the patient realize that he has identified with... this person och may thus understand his own symptoms through his knowledge about this other person.13 Did someone mention conditioning?

Our thresholds of perception and pain are so extremely lowered that during certain periods there is only need for very weak stimuli in order to induce a reaction.cf: Stress,Panic Attack & PTSD
