I went unconscious 2006 with a miscarriage and my haemoglobin levels were about 6. Ambulance folks said I was 15 mins from death. I used herbs and iron rich food to raise my haemoglobin levels over the next few months. 2 years later I lost 8 lites of blood whilst giving birth- after loosing 5 litres they gave me general anaesthetic. They’d expected a difficult delivery & had blood ready to transfuse- I was given 10 units. Before I went under anaesthetic I started to seize up and couldn’t swallow and my hands went into a spasm- the anaesthetist called for more calcium to be added into the ‘mix’… I would say I’ve had memory issues worse than my regular ’ADHD’ lifetime of issues, since these blood loss events.

I forget why my cooker buzzer might be ringing even 5 mins after putting cheese toast under the grill… I don’t recognise people out of context and completely forget deep and meaningful conversations hours or days after unless I write things down… I will pay something and go to pay it again the same day and be surprised I already did it. I’m 55. Depending on the context people usually think I’m completely ignorant and incapable and so they patronise me or think I’m extremely competent and may expect too much from me… could I have lost brain cells during the blood losses?

for rapid head movements, would an MRI be capable of finding any neuron damage or death? For injuries from intense neck spasms, that don't cause too much outside structural damage but mostly cause internal damage?

Hello, I am a 22 year old. I go through severe headaches(migraines) almost every other day for the most simplest of things that I do. I feel very sleepy around all day even though I sleep like 8 hours and cannot exercise much or jump around much because breadth shortness and headaches from the jumping. My eyesight is dropping very significantly. Most of the times I feel very uneasy and very out of place like having a blockage and even cannot concentrate onto something much and have constant memory loss. These scenarios have folded since 2018 and mostly after 2020 and have only drastically worsen till now. I get rapid spasms all over my body at very random moments. I have had many CT scans over these years and the doctors have told me that I am ok. The scan has only shown sinus issue. What is your suggestion please reply.
I had a 3cm pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation removed in 07. Im having severe cognitive issues now in 23' could thaf be from TBI in 07??
It is possible for TBI to persist for decades, there is a lot of hope for treatment in alternative medicine too. There may be metabolic issues or other problems, even fluoride or aluminum could contribute.
We tend to correlate with Brodmann areas as much as possible yes, and we see temporal changes correlate with speech and comprehension problems. The difficulty is in process the noise and artifacts out without losing the data signal. We use raw waves as well as spectral analysis, source localization, surface Z-scores and sometimes s-LORETA localization.
My husband has been having dizziness, headaches, muscle weakness, major short-term & long-term memory loss, personality changes, severe mood swings & a few other things. We've been to two neurologists, a neuropsychologist & they keep telling us it's ADD. He's had a CT & MRI that both showed nothing except some moderate pansinus mucosal disease. I've sent him for every other test to rule out anything from lymes, exposure to mold and heavy metals, etc. He had an extensive evaluation with a psychiatrist who does not believe he is suffering from ADD or any related psychiatric issues. I'm wondering if it's possible he could have had silent strokes which went undetected because both scans were done without contrast. Now that no doctors are willing to admit there could be anything physically wrong with him, other than ADD/ADHD, I don't even know how we would find a doctor that would treat him (who's covered by our ins & certainly don't know how we could get our ins to pay for any further imaging w no apparent diagnosis to warrant that.

Using a 3 tesla or 7 tesla MRI magnets give higher resolution without the risky gadolinium. Ask your doctor or chiropractor they can order these for brain or spine, or teeth and jaw and sinuses, inner ear problems.
I suffered a brain Hemorrhage in June 2022. A ruptured AVM. I have made a good recovery and doing everything I was pre injury. I had an angiogram start of 2023 which confirmed no recurrence of my AVM and I was discharged. I would like to get an MRI to see what type of damage it shows to the brain. Will the MRI show scarring ?
I like 3 tesla or 7 tesla magnet MRI sometimes. This more powerful option creates higher resolution images and is available without gadolinium contrast. Some nutritionists find that copper imbalances can lead to AVM, I do not believe it is purely genetic.

Sometimes encephalitis and brain abscess can appear on MRI with or without contrast, on spinal tap, and on EEG depending on whether it is bacterial, viral, toxic, traumatic, liver failure, hydrocephalus or other types. brain SPECT or PET can show abnormal evidence of brain injury too. The size and extent makes a difference-some abscesses are small, and some encephalitis is mild.
Hey just wondering what does a blackhole with white spot inbetween mean? Been having headaches bad and dizzy spells. Waiting for results of MRI. Was hoping youd shed some light.
You need to ask the reading radiologist about the images-they are usually very helpful and will respond to specific questions. Their name is on the written report from the MRI or X-ray.
I'm 27 years old i have stroke in cerebellum It's not effect me in any thing but doctor inform me that stroke is new but other doctor inform me that they old one And until now they didn't know what the cause of stroke

My mother is unconscious for 5 days, there is some response when we pinch her.. On MRI there little blood clots at 2 places and doctor said which is not problem, on EEG also it is nothing.. she has some infection like wbc is 17000 and magnesium levels are 143. Doctors unable to identify the problem
Sir my child is 5+ . mri report is Hie injury. Neurologist told me that this is not neuro problem you should to go psychiatrist department. Please sir suggest me which is good for my son
Can you get a QEEG or ERP? Can you see a chiropractic neurologist from acnb.org? I will contact my colleagues and do a rotation through India, central Asia and the middle east if there is enough interest.
I would look for EEG and ERP brainwave changes if this happened to me. There is a lot in those if one can read them with skill. Also symptoms can be helpful, and brain SPECT scan or MEG if you can get it.
I have Chronic Ischemia , how do they treat that ? I was in the Hospital for 3 days , and my MRI / Cat Scans showed many new lesions and increasing hypodensity, within my right frontal lobe deep white matter ? As well as the right anterior external capsule. They did a spinal tap and it showed in my CSF High Bands (2) I haven’t been diagnosed with MS but I think I have it and they sent me home with no neurology Appointment? What should I do?
I like to ask my primary care doc for a neurology referral, and I also like diets for reducing plaqued arteries that block blood flow. There are several carnivore-ish and ketogenic and low carb diets that can clean out the arteries fairly rapidly. There are also ultrasound and CT and MRA scans of blood vessels that can help find blockages. EEG can show areas of subtle perfusion problems in the brain too. These diets can sometimes help reduce autoimmune reactions such as the Wahls protocol.
This may need cross discipline with neurology and cardiology, it could be autoimmune, it could be plaque formation from homocysteine from undermethylation, and high carbs lead to plaque formation too. Watch low carb down under on YT for cholesterol vessel and heart health ivor cummins and Ken Berry, Tim Noakes and Stephen Phinney
Do you know what darker spots mean on the brain? I just recently had an MRI scan the doctor said he couldn't see any cancer or tumours but some parts of my brain was darker than other he will forward to a neurologist but does this mean anything serious? I also have no symptoms of anything i have searched but i was just wondering if i need to panic
All brain MRI studies are usually read by a neuroradiologist and they can comment in the report about whether it is fluid, artifact from movement or metal (like near fillings) or some other calcification. Ask the neuroradiologist from the imaging center for the report, you probably already paid for it. Let us know what happens.
Yes, a neuroradiologist reads images of the brain, and a regular radiologist tends to read other organs and bones and refer the brain imaging to the sub-specialized neuroradiologist.
A good history, neurological examination, labs and imaging and maybe EEG is useful. 90% of concussion symptoms resolve in 1 year, and most are reversible. Look at ACNB.org for doctor locator for holistic board certified chiropractic neurologists.
My daughter has downs , she has lay in bed for months now . We are struggling to find why she won’t speak etc . All blood work been done . My nurse said perhaps an mri will show if any of her brain is diminishing. Is this possible ? What would it tell us? And would she have to have contrast Gd ?
I would try an MRI without contrast and get volumetric reporting. also consider an upper cervical specific chiropractor to get and X-ray of the C1 because Down's has a tendency to get weak ligaments at the atlas bone, and a NUCCA, AO or Blair technique might help to correct the CSF flow or venous drainage.
I am curious, Can brain damage be causes of long term illnesses? I’ve literally been poorly for 14 years coming upto 15 years, I’ve had so many cameras down my throat and so forth, given so many different medications for 14 year , nothing stops nausea / sickness / dia…. Yeah I hate typing the last word, I literally feel sick everyday for 365 days a year for 14 year, im so curious if brain disorders / damage can cause these symptoms. Probably a pointless question but eh it seems health care systems in 2023 are just useless everywhere, im from UK and get nowhere
Many people get endocrine and immune problems after concussion, toxic exposure or anesthesia intolerance in my view. Does this affect you? The cortex of the brain provides a large rich descending regulation of the endocrine and immune and autonomic systems and an injury or toxic exposure can lead to a cascade of symptoms in all these systems. We try to reactivate the cortex with detox, cleanses, rehab exercises, and neurofeedback or other neuro modulation. Let us know what happens with your quest.
@@TheHumanCondition I think I got spiked one time, I’m really not sure, I was 15 turning 16 and just constantly kept vomiting and had really bad nausea, and 14-15 years later I still have the symptoms, I had h pylori too which finally got medicated, my symptoms eased a little with the sickness when I got given some medicine called ondansetron, which ended up causes constant diahrea feelings or diahrea it’s self everyday which then the sickness came back too with it, the nausea never goes, I’ve tried stuff like CBT to help with my brain but couldn’t do many sessions due to them finding out I was autistic also, all this causes so much stress/depression/anxiety which just adds to making it worse, I’ve had 5+ endoscopy’s they don’t find much at all, I’ve asked for mri/ct scans but they won’t do them, that’s why I found your video and was wondering if maybe my brain got damaged somehow and its causes all this. ( sorry for bad grammar my autism makes it hard for me to explain stuff and be grammatical ) I really don’t know what else to do, my doctors don’t seem to take it serious, ( it’s really not nice feeling sick 24/7 365 days a year and even being sick 2/3 times a week it used to be every single day but ondansetron seemed to help ease the sickness but that caused other issues so i dno sorry for huge essay.
There is a real link between the gut and the brain, and I often start with the gut in working with ASD. I think the gut can be assessed with urine organic acid testing and other tests, as well as history and exam. What we eat makes a huge difference in our gut and brain, but it is a delayed response when we eliminate foods due to the long half life of lectins and the lack of tests for lectins. Let us know what happens with you.
Does anyone know how likely it would be that a 7 day EEG could show false negative results? My neuro seemed satisfied with the results and didn’t order an MRI, but I read EEGs are negative in 50% of cases (when it comes to seizure disorders). I don’t know if I should ask about an MRI because I don’t know if he even could order one if it doesn’t seem medically necessary.
A routine 20 minute outpatient EEG in a medical setting has a typical probability of catching epileptic paroxysms of about 50%. a continuous EEG has much more likelihood of catching abnormal waves. but nothing is perfect. There are sleep EEGs and also ERP studies that can be done, and also some people like 3 Tesla or 7 Tesla (magnet strength) MRI of brain without contrast to see more detail than a typical 1.5 Tesla MRI we see routinely.
last year I had the following comment in my MRI brain scan (encephalomalacic focus along the pons is noted) and (white matter foci of high T2 and flair) this year (two pontine foci of csf like signal is noted) and the same white matter foci the doctor always giving me anti depression drugs unfortunately i don't have an evaluation of my case would you please let me know what is my case I have some symptoms like weakness in vision and head shaking before sleeping sometimes it hurts
While I cannot give advice, generally these type of indications make us think about the immune cells forming antibodies to white matter in the brain. A good neurological exam is important by an experienced clinician who can think about depression and weakness and head shaking and integrate all the symptoms. There is great hope emerging in alternative diets if it turns out to be an autoimmune response. Good luck and keep us informed and remember to check below in the notes for my resource list.

Sir, I had CT scan of my brain after an accident . After analysing my brain CT scan , doctor said that I'm completely normal and no damage to the brain . It's been a week after the accident, I am not recovered by 100% (I think so),since sleepiness and dizziness (though very less) isn't going away completely.

Hello dr,I have a question pls if I can get a reply that will be a great help for me.. Approx 4 years ago I was hit by a cricket ball(its very hard stone like material unlike other balls)on right hand side of my skull just above my ears with a very much good velocity and impact,and since then I have completly lost my sense of smell from the right hand side of my nose hole,also I have lost the ability to taste foods significantly,and many more things like I face problem in solving the normal thinking questions,many times face problems in pronounciating the words while speaking and also writing., also i always hear a crakling sound from the part of the skull that was hit by the ball,also whenever I chew something hard from my teath, or open my full mouth, I hear the crakling sound in my part of skull that was hit by the ball. I was planning to get an MRI test done before I will visit to a doctor., pls suggest me should i go for simple brain MRI or should I go for an MRI done after injecting the contrast?, I was afraid of contrast because I also have kidney problem(not in a serious condition) due to the urethral stricture which also I have.. Sir pls suggest me how to get my brain problem dignosed and also suggest that will it ever be recovered?,cause it's almost 4 years gone and problems are as it is more or less.. Also I have got the ct scan of brain done recently but it didn't show any abnormality..

This was very interesting! I was diagnosed with Cadasil and my MRI shows moderate to severe white matter disease. Would a qEEG be beneficial for someone with a degenerative brain disease?
Wow that's a tough question. Since we don't have any pain or touch receptors in our brain we cannot feel it directly. So when we feel like our brain hurts or has any other sensation, it can be caused by pain or other fibers in sinus nerves, blood vessels, the dura mater- a leathery net that holds and separates the lobes somewhat like a brassiere, and also we can experience referral pain to the head, jaw, teeth and from neck and spine muscles. These refer pain to the head via connections in the spinal cord preserved from when we developed as an embryo and there are charts that show these patterns-they are mostly the same in all people. It could also be caused by histamine or dehydration or low blood pressure, and I'm sure more, but this is my first crack at the question. Lets see who else chimes in on this, maybe hallucinogens like ergotamine can cause that feeling. Thanks for your stimulating question!

Can you get a QEEG or ERP? Can you see a chiropractic neurologist from acnb.org? I will contact my colleagues and do a rotation through India, central Asia and the middle east if there is enough interest.
Does brain damage after ect and transcranial magnetic stimulation show? Thank you in advance❤
I would look for EEG and ERP brainwave changes if this happened to me. There is a lot in those if one can read them with skill. Also symptoms can be helpful, and brain SPECT scan or MEG if you can get it.
I have Chronic Ischemia , how do they treat that ? I was in the Hospital for 3 days , and my MRI / Cat Scans showed many new lesions and increasing hypodensity, within my right frontal lobe deep white matter ? As well as the right anterior external capsule. They did a spinal tap and it showed in my CSF High Bands (2) I haven’t been diagnosed with MS but I think I have it and they sent me home with no neurology Appointment? What should I do?
I like to ask my primary care doc for a neurology referral, and I also like diets for reducing plaqued arteries that block blood flow. There are several carnivore-ish and ketogenic and low carb diets that can clean out the arteries fairly rapidly. There are also ultrasound and CT and MRA scans of blood vessels that can help find blockages. EEG can show areas of subtle perfusion problems in the brain too. These diets can sometimes help reduce autoimmune reactions such as the Wahls protocol.
This may need cross discipline with neurology and cardiology, it could be autoimmune, it could be plaque formation from homocysteine from undermethylation, and high carbs lead to plaque formation too. Watch low carb down under on YT for cholesterol vessel and heart health ivor cummins and Ken Berry, Tim Noakes and Stephen Phinney
Do you know what darker spots mean on the brain? I just recently had an MRI scan the doctor said he couldn't see any cancer or tumours but some parts of my brain was darker than other he will forward to a neurologist but does this mean anything serious? I also have no symptoms of anything i have searched but i was just wondering if i need to panic
All brain MRI studies are usually read by a neuroradiologist and they can comment in the report about whether it is fluid, artifact from movement or metal (like near fillings) or some other calcification. Ask the neuroradiologist from the imaging center for the report, you probably already paid for it. Let us know what happens.
@@TheHumanConditionso is a neuro radiologist different than a radiologist. If so that's important.
Yes, a neuroradiologist reads images of the brain, and a regular radiologist tends to read other organs and bones and refer the brain imaging to the sub-specialized neuroradiologist.
You should do a video on DMX Digital Motion Xray -- For upper cervical instability -- then prolotherapy
Barely any doctors address this
Oh yes! got to Las Vegas and see Dr. Alan Long DC he has this machine and I love him!!
Grt info..i cant sleep , need a eeg.
I wonder if there us anything fmri would uniquely be able to reveal.
I hittes my head and i suspect a concussion. I am so terrified. What test(s) should i undergo ?
A good history, neurological examination, labs and imaging and maybe EEG is useful. 90% of concussion symptoms resolve in 1 year, and most are reversible. Look at ACNB.org for doctor locator for holistic board certified chiropractic neurologists.
My daughter has downs , she has lay in bed for months now . We are struggling to find why she won’t speak etc . All blood work been done . My nurse said perhaps an mri will show if any of her brain is diminishing. Is this possible ? What would it tell us? And would she have to have contrast Gd ?
I would try an MRI without contrast and get volumetric reporting. also consider an upper cervical specific chiropractor to get and X-ray of the C1 because Down's has a tendency to get weak ligaments at the atlas bone, and a NUCCA, AO or Blair technique might help to correct the CSF flow or venous drainage.
@@TheHumanCondition thank you so much for replying, and yes , I was a bit worried about using contrast.
I see lots of gadolinium reactions it can be bad.
@@TheHumanCondition what is gadilium reactions thank you
@@TheHumanCondition sorry spot it wrong , inn at my wits end trying to find a specialist here in Uk
Would brain tumors or hydrocephalus show up on a ct scan?
Yes but MRI may show it better. Regular x-ray can sometimes show these too.
I am curious, Can brain damage be causes of long term illnesses? I’ve literally been poorly for 14 years coming upto 15 years, I’ve had so many cameras down my throat and so forth, given so many different medications for 14 year , nothing stops nausea / sickness / dia…. Yeah I hate typing the last word, I literally feel sick everyday for 365 days a year for 14 year, im so curious if brain disorders / damage can cause these symptoms. Probably a pointless question but eh it seems health care systems in 2023 are just useless everywhere, im from UK and get nowhere
Many people get endocrine and immune problems after concussion, toxic exposure or anesthesia intolerance in my view. Does this affect you? The cortex of the brain provides a large rich descending regulation of the endocrine and immune and autonomic systems and an injury or toxic exposure can lead to a cascade of symptoms in all these systems. We try to reactivate the cortex with detox, cleanses, rehab exercises, and neurofeedback or other neuro modulation. Let us know what happens with your quest.
@@TheHumanCondition I think I got spiked one time, I’m really not sure, I was 15 turning 16 and just constantly kept vomiting and had really bad nausea, and 14-15 years later I still have the symptoms, I had h pylori too which finally got medicated, my symptoms eased a little with the sickness when I got given some medicine called ondansetron, which ended up causes constant diahrea feelings or diahrea it’s self everyday which then the sickness came back too with it, the nausea never goes, I’ve tried stuff like CBT to help with my brain but couldn’t do many sessions due to them finding out I was autistic also, all this causes so much stress/depression/anxiety which just adds to making it worse, I’ve had 5+ endoscopy’s they don’t find much at all, I’ve asked for mri/ct scans but they won’t do them, that’s why I found your video and was wondering if maybe my brain got damaged somehow and its causes all this. ( sorry for bad grammar my autism makes it hard for me to explain stuff and be grammatical ) I really don’t know what else to do, my doctors don’t seem to take it serious, ( it’s really not nice feeling sick 24/7 365 days a year and even being sick 2/3 times a week it used to be every single day but ondansetron seemed to help ease the sickness but that caused other issues so i dno sorry for huge essay.
There is a real link between the gut and the brain, and I often start with the gut in working with ASD. I think the gut can be assessed with urine organic acid testing and other tests, as well as history and exam. What we eat makes a huge difference in our gut and brain, but it is a delayed response when we eliminate foods due to the long half life of lectins and the lack of tests for lectins. Let us know what happens with you.
Does anyone know how likely it would be that a 7 day EEG could show false negative results? My neuro seemed satisfied with the results and didn’t order an MRI, but I read EEGs are negative in 50% of cases (when it comes to seizure disorders).
I don’t know if I should ask about an MRI because I don’t know if he even could order one if it doesn’t seem medically necessary.
A routine 20 minute outpatient EEG in a medical setting has a typical probability of catching epileptic paroxysms of about 50%. a continuous EEG has much more likelihood of catching abnormal waves. but nothing is perfect. There are sleep EEGs and also ERP studies that can be done, and also some people like 3 Tesla or 7 Tesla (magnet strength) MRI of brain without contrast to see more detail than a typical 1.5 Tesla MRI we see routinely.
last year I had the following comment in my MRI brain scan (encephalomalacic focus along the pons is noted) and (white matter foci of high T2 and flair) this year (two pontine foci of csf like signal is noted) and the same white matter foci the doctor always giving me anti depression drugs unfortunately i don't have an evaluation of my case would you please let me know what is my case I have some symptoms like weakness in vision and head shaking before sleeping sometimes it hurts
While I cannot give advice, generally these type of indications make us think about the immune cells forming antibodies to white matter in the brain. A good neurological exam is important by an experienced clinician who can think about depression and weakness and head shaking and integrate all the symptoms. There is great hope emerging in alternative diets if it turns out to be an autoimmune response. Good luck and keep us informed and remember to check below in the notes for my resource list.
@@TheHumanCondition thank you for your help
Pray to God he will heal your pain
I had a ct scan with iodine two months ago. I feel like I’m showing symptoms of encephalopathy now.
Pleas let us know what happens!
@@TheHumanCondition I’m going to the neurologist on October 30. I’m getting like these twitches in the back of my head niw there’s a small lump in that area
Let us know what happens-check for fever too.
Sir im suffering stress condition in brain over a month i seizure in sleep as i scard of my dream i get headache pls suggest something
Can you find a neurologist or get an EEG?
Sir, I had CT scan of my brain after an accident . After analysing my brain CT scan , doctor said that I'm completely normal and no damage to the brain . It's been a week after the accident, I am not recovered by 100% (I think so),since sleepiness and dizziness (though very less) isn't going away completely. Should I go for higher level treatment or wait for some days.

What about bipolar or depression. What test on brain could show that?
SPECT, QEEG, parts of ERP and fMRI, and psychological interview using validated instruments (surveys).

Hello dr,I have a question pls if I can get a reply that will be a great help for me..
Approx 4 years ago I was hit by a cricket ball(its very hard stone like material unlike other balls)on right hand side of my skull just above my ears with a very much good velocity and impact,and since then I have completly lost my sense of smell from the right hand side of my nose hole,also I have lost the ability to taste foods significantly,and many more things like I face problem in solving the normal thinking questions,many times face problems in pronounciating the words while speaking and also writing., also i always hear a crakling sound from the part of the skull that was hit by the ball,also whenever I chew something hard from my teath, or open my full mouth, I hear the crakling sound in my part of skull that was hit by the ball.
I was planning to get an MRI test done before I will visit to a doctor., pls suggest me should i go for simple brain MRI or should I go for an MRI done after injecting the contrast?,
I was afraid of contrast because I also have kidney problem(not in a serious condition) due to the urethral stricture which also I have..
Sir pls suggest me how to get my brain problem dignosed and also suggest that will it ever be recovered?,cause it's almost 4 years gone and problems are as it is more or less..
Also I have got the ct scan of brain done recently but it didn't show any abnormality..
If you are outside or within the USA look at ACNB.org for doctor locator to find a good chiropractic neurologist near you and let me know what happens.
@@TheHumanCondition thanks doctor for reply, will do as per your advice and surely inform you sir🙏🙏

I'd love to show off my MRI's and see what you think 🫠
humanconditionlab.com is about to open and we will have memberships on Locals.com too.
@@TheHumanCondition That's great news!
This was very interesting! I was diagnosed with Cadasil and my MRI shows moderate to severe white matter disease. Would a qEEG be beneficial for someone with a degenerative brain disease?
Yes, with dietary modifications and immune assessment too, and toxin screening.
How interesting. What does it mean - a person feels that their brain has shrunk?
Wow that's a tough question. Since we don't have any pain or touch receptors in our brain we cannot feel it directly. So when we feel like our brain hurts or has any other sensation, it can be caused by pain or other fibers in sinus nerves, blood vessels, the dura mater- a leathery net that holds and separates the lobes somewhat like a brassiere, and also we can experience referral pain to the head, jaw, teeth and from neck and spine muscles. These refer pain to the head via connections in the spinal cord preserved from when we developed as an embryo and there are charts that show these patterns-they are mostly the same in all people. It could also be caused by histamine or dehydration or low blood pressure, and I'm sure more, but this is my first crack at the question. Lets see who else chimes in on this, maybe hallucinogens like ergotamine can cause that feeling. Thanks for your stimulating question!
