My additions to Wikipedia have primarily focused on porphyrias including associated genetic disorders and known medical complications that have been recorded in medical textbooks, medical journal articles collected from the University of Washington medical library archives and abstracts on Pubmed. Anyone can verify the research.

I strongly encourage and invite review of the research available by those disputing my information in Wikipedia concerning worldwide incidence of these genetic disorders, the multiple drug reactions associated with this class of genetic disorders (ileus, hyponatremia with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone or SIADH, motor/sensory/autonomic dysfunction, Guillain-Barre syndrome/Landry paralysis, seizures, cardiac damage, pancreatitis, rhabdomyolysis, catatonia, widespread mental illness complications ranging from generalized anxiety disorder to psychosis, liver damage, photosensitivity/solar urticaria as examples); current research on associated neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders including epilepsy, autism, dementia and Parkinson's disease; long-term association of the disorders with autoimmune disorders; predisposition to cancers (liver, pancreatic, lung, brain as examples).

It is my intention to point out the lack of curiosity, lack of adequate education of U.S. physicians in particular and poor availability and development of testing facilities and appropriate tests to detect all neurovisceral porphyrias, latent genetic carriers and prepuberty children presenting with complications of these genetic disorders.
