Introduction to The Pathology Betrayal
According to the The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA ):
and
Pathology gives life's most important answers
|
According to G.H. White and I. Farrance:
The fundamental role of medical testing laboratories is to routinely produce test results that are fit for their purpose; that is, they have analytical accuracy and precision that is appropriate for the clinical purpose(s) to which they are applied.

Can you trust your pathology results to be accurate, and give the right answers?
What Others Discovered
In 1996, Mounira Khoury, Leslie Burnett and Mark A Mackay reported:
Error rates in Australian pathology laboratories vary widely, but may be as high as 46% for all specimens in some laboratories.

Error rates in Australian chemical pathology laboratories, Khoury et al, MJA 1996; 165: 128-130
In their book, Sally M. Pacholok and Jeffrey J. Stuart expose the magnitude of the problem of misdiagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency. According to Bernard Rimland, PhD, Director, Autism Institute:
Pacholok and Stuart expose a major health-care scandal: the failure to identify and treat hundreds of thousands of patients who suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency. |

According to Oh and Brown:
use of a low serum vitamin B12 level as the sole means of diagnosis may miss up to one half of patients with actual tissue B12 deficiency. |
Vitamin B12 Deficiency, Oh and Brown, Am Fam Physician 2003;67:979-86,993-4.
In 2006, S.N. Wickramasinghe reported:
The accuracy of folate assays and particularly of fully-automated red cell folate assays is questionable. The results obtained depend on the assay method -

In 2007, Chiang et al concluded, in a poster presentation to the AACB
Our study across 3 platforms indicate that many red cell folate results in Auatralia may be incorrect and misleading

Red Cell Folate recovery varies inversely with Haematocrit, C Y Chiang et al
What I Discovered
- Misdiagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency, because of several very serious errors in pathology
- Misdiagnosis of folate deficiency, because of gross errors in the measurement of red-cell folate
- Healthscope Functional Pathology systematically defrauding patients with "Functional Pathology" tests
All of my claims are fully supported by evidence that is available on this site.
