alzheimers /infections?/ blood flow/ immune/genetic/ increase

[Guest guest]

when I had my brain SPECT they said I looked " similar to Alzheimers "

(but not actually Alzheimers) but they stated it was toxic

solventexposure and FM. (I was intrigued that they could state FM from

a scan)

this article interesting re immune/blood flow etc in alzheimers and

many interesting links from this page.

at the end of the article they say that even the healthy nuns/studied

had alzheimers detected in their brain????

Hi, Amy.

I'm not surprised that a CFS brain is similar to Alzheimer's given

that both glutathione and blood flow in the brain are often shown to

be reduced in both. I suspect the reduced blood flow might be in part

because the cysteine needed from glutathione to make antidiuretic

hormone(ADH) is not as available therefore less of this hormone gets

made to keep blood volume up to normal.

Would you tell us the specific quote or amnormality noted from your

brain SPECT report that indicates toxic solvent exposure and FM? I

know I had a PET scan of my brain where the report stated asymetrical

bilateral hypoperfusion of the thalami, thus indicating poor blood flow.
