Re: BRAIN FUNCTION

August 23, 2006

Hi Katrina/CS

The title of my post was somewhat clumsy..

I was just trying to jump from the minutiae of the discussion about the Yasko

protocol to the big question....Is this going to get me where I need to be?

Remission, cure, being able to work.. whatever.

I guess I was asking if anyone is far enough along with the Yasko protocol to

see any cognitive improvements.

I'm an occasional user of this list, but from what I've read, it seems the

folks (early adopters) who are on the protocol are not there yet.....and that's

what I'm waiting for before I embark on another protocol.

CS: You say chelating and gallbladder support should yield cognitive

improvements.

Can you say what treatments you have used? Chorella, DMSA?

I have significantly improved my physical health with supplements and diet,

but the brain fog is killing me.

Thanks

Hi Louella,

This is nothing negative to you, but I was wondering why you thought brain

function is off topic, or off topic from what?

This list was formed by and for people who have the Neurological (but poorly

named) disease " Chronic Fatigue Syndrome " .

The sole place that CFS is listed in the World Health Organization Code of

diseases, is in the Neurological section, under " other diseases of the brain " ...

along with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), and (I think), Post Viral Fatigue

Syndrome.

A Diagnosis of CFS, under any of the 9 widely varied definitions of CFS in the

World today...requires some form of impairment in thinking, not present prior to

the illness.

ME/CFS Research in the last 20 years has revealed multiple abnormalities

involving the brain. These include low blood flow, metabolic dysfunction

including Lactate spikes, lesions, or " UBO " s, shrinking grey matter, evidence of

organic impairment in Neuropsychiatric testing, disordered brain waves, new and

unusual headaches, , seizures, visual changes, viruses known to infect the

brain, Movement Disorders, Autonomic disorders, problems with receptors and

neurotransmitters, short and long term memory loss, acquired Dyslexia,

sensitivity to light, smell and noise, sleep disorders, and numerous other

things.

Some research has found portions of the CFS brain to be more disordered than

Alzheimer's or AIDS related dementia.

Some patients have some of these findings, from moderate to severe, and some

have them all.

In the last couple of months, some people on this list have decided to try the

Yasko program. Others are working on brain function from dozens of other

approaches, such as Microcirculation, restoration of blood flow, detoxing of

metals and chemicals, modulating the immune system, balancing receptors and

neurotransmitters, eliminating pathogens (antivirals, antobiotics, anti

fungals), avoidance of toxins, excitotoxins(?), and a host of other methods.

with a host of herbs, supplements and medications.

In other words, your subject could not be any more ON TOPIC! :-)

Hi

I have been unwell for the last 16 years . I suspect total recovery can take

upto 24 months ( 2 years ) so Im not too far away - and I mean TOTAL

recovery!

This is what I have done over the last 16 months:

1)Low carb diet - no wheat or dairy

2) Raising glutathione & thyroid - whey protein

3) Killing infections - lactoferrin / coconut oil / Manuka Honey

4) Improving adrenals - licorice / salt

5) Improving digestion - probiotics / digestive enzyme with oxbile

6) Liver / Galbladder flush - Olive oil / grapefruit juice / turmeric /

Apple juice / Minerals

7) Antioxidants - Vit C and OPC's

8) Dealing with Heavy Metals - Coriander herb /Chlorella/ Garlic / Evening

primrose oil

9) Immune /Gut - Vits

10) Improving Lymphatics - Dental work / Exercise / Saunas

I have tried almost every supplement and this is the order and supplements

that have been most effective!

Have you read The Edge Effect by Braverman, MD?

Your neurotransmitters may need some help via specific amino acids.

Loulla,

There appear to be so many ways to deal with the fog. Hope you will keep trying

until you find what you need. At one time here there was a very strong consensus

that b12 injections helped- and they sure did for me. Didn't get me all the way

there, but most defintely removed the worst of it.

In my recent posts of the past couple of months, I have detailed the other

things I use for the sake of my brain.

Othe people have found other solutions. One of the main things is to address any

chronic sleep problems.
