Home Page Site Map Contact Us Dr. Laurie Mischley ... About Our Medicine NATURAL MEDICINE FOR NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS For patients diagnosed with neurological disorders, naturopathic medicine should be an integral part of therapy. The lack of effective conventional treatments for such conditions as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and ALS leaves many patients searching for alternatives. Although there usually isn't a pill or procedure to 'fix' most neurological conditions, patients can benefit from working with an alternative medical practitioner who will think outside the box. We ask the question: "What might your other doctors not be considering?" NEW RESEARCH New research in nutritional and environmental influences on neurological disorders is continually emerging. There is also a good deal of older research in neurology on beneficial therapies that have fallen out of use. These therapies are commonly overshadowed due to the excitement surrounding the development of an initially promising new drug, this is the forgotten research. The new and the forgotten therapies from the fields of nutritional and environmental science may not be familiar to your neurologist or other medical providers, but they shouldn't be excluded from your care. NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS Naturopathic doctors look to identify any causative factors in the development of neurological diseases. We ask the question, "Why is this process happening?"

There is currently no cure for autism, but appropriate treatment may foster relatively normal development and reduce undesirable behaviors. Educational/behavioral therapies and drug interventions are designed to remedy specific symptoms. Educational/behavioral therapies emphasize highly structured and often intensive skill-oriented training. Doctors also may prescribe a variety of drugs to reduce symptoms of autism Other interventions are available, but few, if any, scientific studies support their use. What is the prognosis?

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings. RLS sensations are often described by people as burning, creeping, tugging, or like insects crawling inside the legs. Often called paresthesias (abnormal sensations) or dysesthesias (unpleasant abnormal sensations), the sensations range in severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful. The most distinctive or unusual aspect of the condition is that lying down and trying to relax activates the symptoms. As a result, most people with RLS have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Left untreated, the condition causes exhaustion and daytime fatigue. Many people with RLS report that their job, personal relations, and activities of daily living are strongly affected as a result of their exhaustion. They are often unable to concentrate, have impaired memory, or fail to accomplish daily tasks.

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Additional resources from MEDLINEplus What is Cerebral Aneurysm? A cerebral aneurysm is the dilation, bulging or ballooning out of part of the wall of a vein or artery in the brain. The disorder may result from congenital defects or from other conditions such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), or head trauma. Cerebral aneurysms can occur at any age, although they are more common in adults than in children and are slightly more common in women than in men. The signs and symptoms of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm will partly depend on its size and rate of growth. For example, a small, unchanging aneurysm will generally produce no symptoms, whereas a larger aneurysm that is steadily growing may produce symptoms such as loss of feeling in the face or problems with the eyes. Immediately before an aneurysm ruptures, an individual may experience such symptoms as a sudden and usually severe headache, nausea, vision impairment, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. Rupture of a cerebral aneurysm usually results in bleeding in the brain, causing a

XIV. Spinal Cord Injury and Related Neurological Disorders A. General [248] SPINAL CORD INJURY-INDUCED BONE LOSS Guy A. Howard, PhD; Bernard A. Roos, MD Research Service, VA Medical Center Miami, FL 33125; Department of Medicine, University of Miami School of Medicine, Miami, FL 33101; email: howard.guy_a@miami.va.gov Sponsor: Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Rehabilitation Research and Development Service, Washington, DC 20420 (Project #B684-2RA) PURPOSE We hypothesize that changes in neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in nerves supplying bone and/or bone marrow osteoprogenitor stem cells are involved in the osteopenia which develops as a result of spinal cord injury (SCI). It is important to understand how these changes affect bone metabolism after SCI, since a considerable number of veterans are paralyzed from SCI. The significance of the research lies in the potential for discovering the mechanism(s) involved in the osteopenia following SCI. These results could lead to a therapy to prevent the loss of bone in newly injured veterans, or aid in the recovery of bone in chronic SCI veterans. METHODOLOGY The studies utilize a rat model in which the bone loss is both dramatic and progressive over time. Histomorphometry, radioimmunoassays, and molecular biology techniques characterize bone loss following SCI, as well as changes in neuropeptide distribution and levels in bone. We have focused on calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), both are in nerves in bone and implicated as modulators of bone metabolism. Immunohistochemistry, receptor binding, and autoradiographic methods are used to evaluate receptor changes in bone and in osteoprogenitor cells obtained from bone marrow.

They may promote normal function of the CNS and rescue neurons from degeneration when applied locally. We studied the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to neurotrophins to test their therapeutic potential after peripheral administration. METHODOLOGY Using radioactive tracer techniques, we studied the penetration of several neurotrophinsnerve growth factor (NGF), b in-situ brain perfusion by a pump. PROGRESS The neurotrophins showed relatively high BBB permeability, comparable to some bioactive peptides that have saturable entry to the CNS after intravenous administration. In general, there was a common pattern of regional difference, in that the cervical and lumbar spinal cord had significantly higher permeability than the thoracic spinal cord and the brain. In each CNS region, there were apparent differences among individual neurotrophins. In the brain, the unidirectional influx rate (K i ml/g-min, followed by

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Empty Sella Syndrome ? Empty Sella Syndrome (ESS) is a disorder that involves the sella turica , a bony structure at the base of the brain that surrounds and protects the pituitary gland. ESS is a condition that is often discovered during tests for pituitary disorders, when radiological imaging of the pituitary gland reveals a sella turica that appears to be empty. There are two types of ESS: primary and secondary. Primary ESS happens when a small anatomical defect above the pituitary gland increases pressure in the sella turica and causes the gland to flatten out along the interior walls of the sella turica cavity. Primary ESS is associated with obesity and high blood pressure in women. The disorder sometimes results in a build-up of fluid pressure inside the skull and the pituitary gland may be smaller than usual.
