BISMUTH ENCEPHALOPATHY
My husband has taken Devrom for 4 years. Last summer, he developed a mysterious encephalopathy that couldn’t be diagnosed and spent a month in the hospital and a week in inpatient rehab. He couldn’t walk, had muscle jerks, lost his short term memory, lost his ability to talk, when into a delirium, then a psychosis.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago it happened again. I saw the Devrom on the counter and looked up the effects of bismuth- bismuth encephalopathy. He was tested through Mayo Clinic and poison control and his levels were higher than could he read by the equipment.<br /><br />This is HEAVY METAL POISONING. There is not a single warning about this anywhere and - while rare - bismuth subgallate is known to cause it.
