Re: Re: Dr. Phil/ and SPECT scans

[Guest guest]

The doctor whose protocol we're following for Curt's immune system problems,

Dr. Goldberg, uses SPECT scans quite a bit with his patients. It's

been very interesting to hear from people who have done this with their children

and followed the changes in the scans as treatment progresses. You can find

several of Dr. Amen's books about using SPECT scans to guide treatment at the

Plano libraries. The one I read actually listed specific symptoms tied to

various hypo- and hyper-perfusion states in specific brain areas. Although the

technology intrigues me, I was concerned about using the radioactive dye with

my son who has a history of reacting to various dyes so we chose not to go that

route. It's my understanding though that the Dallas Environmental Health

Center started offering these scans a few years ago to help with better

targeting

medication choices.
