Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 So what is the problem that causes this, an enzyme deficiency, neurotransmitter imbalance, heavy metal accumulation, or what? And what overpriced supplement can I buy in the naive hope of helping the situation? > Hi, > > A 1992 paper in the journal Brain said, " We conclude that inflammatory > diseases are associated with accumulation of QUIN, kynurenic acid and > L-kynurenine within the central nervous system, but that the available > data do not support a role for QUIN in the aetiology of Huntington's > disease or Alzheimer's disease.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Shakerz The toxins can be the result of an occult infection that isn't being considered.The mouth is full of oppurtunistic toxin producing bacteria that don't have a long way to travel to dump things into the brain. As you can see the studies are so promising, and they make the news, and they disappear for years after that. I suppose a normal body may detox thru sweating and just normal blood flow pathways, we seem a little under done in a lot of area's. I'm sure blood volume may help keep things flowing as opposed to stagnating. > > Hi, > > > > A 1992 paper in the journal Brain said, " We conclude that > inflammatory > > diseases are associated with accumulation of QUIN, kynurenic acid > and > > L-kynurenine within the central nervous system, but that the > available > > data do not support a role for QUIN in the aetiology of > Huntington's > > disease or Alzheimer's disease.
