Re: Virchow Robbins spaces

[Guest guest]

I have not yet done a MRI scan on my son, but have read that some suggest Virchow Robbins spaces to be an early sign of multiple sclerosis - an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. One of the suggestive causes is the early death of oligodendrocytes (a variety of neuroglia). It might be worthwhile to check on the levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/howms.htmlLiminOn Jan 2, 2011, at 04:40 PM, and Freeman wrote:Anyone have any experience with Virchow Robbins (VR) spaces in their child’s MRI scans?

Elaine DeLack who has been researching on addressing MAO-A (a mitochondrial enzyme) deficiency as treatment for multiple sclerosis found that the same treatment is effective for a subgroup of children diagnosed with autism. She believes that a perfect timing of coupling a newborn's genetics of MAO-A deficiency with being delivered by a mom using epidural with pitocin can induce autism in the newborn. My son does not have MAO-A deficiency genetically. But, because I delivered him via C-section using epidural with pitocin, I am interested in her research work.

Anyone have any experience with Virchow Robbins (VR) spaces in their child’s MRI scans?

IGF-1 feeds axons - a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Experiments on rats indicate that axons deprived of IGF-1 will eventually die.Insulin-like growth factor I partly prevents axon elimination in the neonate rat optic nervehttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12044657?dopt=AbstractNeurons undergo apoptosis in animal and cell culture models of diabeteshttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10527803?dopt=AbstractLiminhow does that play in?? my youngest NT has ILGF1 defiency!From: Limin TsengSent: Sunday, January 02, 2011 8:16 PMTo: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Subject: Re: Virchow Robbins spacesI have not yet done a MRI scan on my son, but have read that some suggest Virchow Robbins spaces to be an early sign of multiple sclerosis - an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system.

Hi Limin,

Does she talk about a possible treatment plan for it?

Any info on that might help alot here.

A lot of us had pitocin and epidural during child birth!!!

Thanks,

Yes, she suggests Respen-A. You might want to talk to parents who have

experiences with this, as there are pros and cons of this treatment.

Limin, how do you check for MAO-A def?

I was reading about oxytocin, dr stoller rec this for my son as nose spray but I

have no idea how to get him to do this, anyway, it said that pitocin can cause

jaundice, which my son had severe case of day two of his life, I was givin

pitocin and epidural also...

Deborah,

We did Yasko nutrigenomic testing panel for both my ASD and NT boys. The panel

includes MAO-A as one of the SNPs. She renamed the test " Comprehensive

Methylation Panel " . But it actually also includes genes/enzymes on urea cycle,

neurotransmitter (BH4) cycle, folate cycle, and transsulfuration pathway. I

just ordered the test panel for myself. The price has been reduced greatly. It

was an expensive test when we did it for the boys some years ago.

Oxytocin is not recommended for seizure kids, as seizure is one of the known

side effect. We nebulized the injection form briefly. We didn't experience any

side effect. In fact, we didn't experience any difference. My son is

affectionate; his autism does not affect him in this aspect of his personality.

I didn't feel that we can have noticeable gains from oxytocin. Autism Speaks is

funding a new study in which autistic children as young as 3 will receive

oxytocin. You can google the info, in case you are interested in participating.

Limin,

Is the Yasko test urine or blood ?

I would like to do it on the 3 of us and I wonder if it can be done from

Australia.

Olga,

It is a blood test. But it does not require blood draw at a lab. It only needs

a couple drops of blood. You can just poke one of the fingers and squeeze out a

couple drops of blood to send to the lab. The test kit comes with a home kit

for getting blood samples.

I know several individuals who live outside of the US have done this test. You

can call Yasko's office to inquire. They are running a promotion right now.

With the order of this test, they give credits for exchanging 4 bottles of

mutation-specific RNA drops. The retail price is $85 per bottle. You then can

decide on which RNA drops you need, after you receive the test result.

Limin,

After you receive the test results from the Yasko's nutrigenomic testing panel

who do you ask to interpret the results? I have heard that these test could be

very helpful but also that parents are supposed to do the homework of

researching what is in the norm and what not, or may be this is what her new

book is supposed to help with?

We have never done any genetic testing for my son, because his autism was not

from birth but started after he turned 2 years old, however he has been such a

slow responder to everything we have done so far that keeps me wondering if we

are not missing some genetic predisposition. I am very very tempted to order

this test as wel... Or may be we can hire you to help us interpret the results?

(just kidding).

Limin,

Thanks for your reply. It looks simple to do the test (like the blood live

analysis) and that is an advantage as we all had blood drawn lately and I

wouldn't like the boys to have another one

I will give them a call to order the kits.
