A.) Yes, insomuch as I believe her neurological symptoms were real and not psychogenic, that automatically puts them under the category of acute encephalopathy. Like I said, it's not really a very useful diagnostic term. The important question is what caused it.

B.) I believe they improved the symptoms, yes. She isn't cured yet by his own account, and I don't know that she ever will be. Many metabolic processes can be permanently thrown out of balance--perhaps she will eventually be symptom-free, but only with continued medication, I don't know. Given that he indicates they "established as of this Friday" her mecury poisoning, I would assume that he is referring to lab tests confirming the presence of mercury and they are therefore pulling it out of her system, so one would expect additional improvement as the levels go down. It would be impossible to have large amounts of mercury in your system that weren't having some kind of effect, otherwise it would not be known as a poisonous substance.
