Re: SPECT scan - metals, disease (lyme et al), brain hypoperfusion

[Guest guest]

As I read it Hypoperfusion means " a state in which inadequate oxygen

and nutrients are getting to cells " . So not enough vitamins,

minerals, oxygen etc are getting to those parts.

Can this be caused by metals? Sure. Metals block many pathways for

cells. As an example: red blood cells contain binding sites for

oxygen molucules. If you have a red blood cell that comes in contact

with a mercury molcule, it binds to the oxygen site instead. Now

this cell cannot carry as much oxygen as it used too because it has

one mercury molucule on board. When that red cell reaches it's

destination, the supply of O2 is less than normal. If that red cell

took on three mercury molecules it would have no oxygen at all

As far as I have read from Andy's books. It binds, interferes, and

damages everyting. By the way the bodies response to the red cells

not carrying enough oxygen it to make more red cells. Then you have

a high rbc level on testing.

Have you looked into SPECT's done on Alzheimer patients? What do

those look like? They also have metal damage to the brain which is

what causes those amyloid plaques. See if those scans are showing

this same condition. I am not sure if anyone here has had a SPECT or

not.

I can't say it would be a " signature " by diagnostic standards for

indicating metals in the brain. But hypoperfusion indicates that the

brain is not receiving nutrients and oxygen as it is should be. This

could be from many causes. If you know your child to be metal toxic

it makes sense to remove the metals in order to remove this

interference. Medical findings know that heavy metals cause brain

damage and learning problems and disrupt all metabolic functions

including methylation cycles.

But as far as " showing up " on a SPECT? I don't have a concrete

answer.

What that SPECT does say is that something is interferring with your

son's brain receiving what it should. The metals can do both, cause

the damage that leads to the infections and cause the problems

themselves.

You refer to " inflammation " with the hot and cold spots. How do they

know it's inflammation??
