Is there more to immune-mediated dysfunction in even more neurological disorders?

6/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
It seems all I talk about these days is the critical importance of immune health and how we are all standing on the precipice of good, the not-so-good, and just plain bad immune protection. We already know there are numerous things in our environment and as part of our daily lives such as poor air quality, EMFs, unhealthy diets laced with pesticides like glyphosate, chemicals, toxins and food additives that can negatively impact our health. But are these external influences also potentially a factor in disrupting our immune systems to the point of initiating such serious considerations as neuropsychiatric disorders and even suicidal behavior?

New Research moves PANS and PANDAS Out of the Shadows of Mental Illness.

Some fascinating and extremely important new research was recently published in the American Journal of Psychiatry reporting on results from a study conducted by Yale University investigators.  The study ascertained in children with PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus infections) a type of antibodies that bind to particular brain cells called interneurons, which are neurons that modify the signaling of other nearby cells.

The brain behind the mask.

I recently read an article just released this month out of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) regarding brain areas that are stimulated by facial recognition, which gave me pause to reflect upon my own experiences of late in our neurology practice.

Your brain’s wellbeing starts with sleeping well.

6/18/2020

We know we’ve said it before (and often!) that the need to get quality sleep is critical to many aspects of our health. We also know that sleep may be even elusive right now due to the trying times in which we live.
BUT…as difficult as it may be to achieve a regular sleep schedule, we must consider and be aware of the risks of not sleeping well.

Sleep and Brain Health: Can Sleep Disordered Breathing Contribute to AD?

6/16/2020

0 Comments

 
The concept of getting a “good night’s rest” has changed dramatically in recent years and long before we were faced with a global health event that has also contributed to a rising incidence of sleep loss. While we know just how important it is for our health to get quality rest, we’re learning more about how poor sleep patterns can impact our brain health too.

High levels of aluminum linked to neurodegenerative disease.

We are living in the proverbial “aluminum age” and for all intents and purposes, our brains are essentially sinks into which this highly neurotoxic element is being deposited.

Is Alzheimer’s an autoimmune disease?

6/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
A recent study sheds more light on the autoimmune origins of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and, quite possibly, other forms of neurodegenerative disease as well through the interplay of genetics and the environment. We have ample evidence that chronic neuroinflammation driven by multiple mechanisms leads to the breakdown of our blood-brain barrier and subsequent neurodegeneration. But now we have additional insight into these cellular activities that can hopefully lead us to more targeted responses and enhanced treatment protocols.

Migraines: The science, causes and treatment options.

6/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The third most common disorder in the world, migraines are estimated to affect at least 38 million individuals in the U.S. although some sources state that the actual figure may be closer to 50 million patients – including both adults and children.1 Given its prevalence and often debilitating symptoms that can make doing even simple tasks quite impossible, it’s important to understand more about this health condition, its triggers and options for natural and conventional therapies. Migraines may be chronic (characterized by 15 or more headache days per month) or episodic (0 to 14 headache days per month).

Air pollution: bad for our health, bad for our brains.

6/1/2020

Picture
In the wake of ongoing and continually increasing concerns regarding the effects of air pollution on our health, a new study now cites air pollution as a possible risk factor for the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers in Italy who conducted the study noted that the risk was 29% higher among people who lived in urbanized areas.
