Spect Scans 4
The next series of brain spect scans are from a 58 year old woman who was complaining of memory problems, challenges with direction, difficulty learning, and time management issues since childhood. Since menopause these problems had become worse and she had become lethargic as well. She wondered if she had ADD.
The first surface scan without medication and with concentration did not show the typical ADD pattern of pockets in the prefrontal cortex, but did show a very slight indentation in the right side of the image.
The second surface scan with the ADD-care® supplement showed essentially the same pattern with a very slight indentation in the right side of the image.
The third surface scan with a popular stimulant showed the same pattern so ADD-care was comparable, but the indentation was worse.
The first deep scan with no medication and concentration showed very little activity in the cerebellum, which suggests that very little dopamine was present. Dopamine depletion is a huge component in attention deficit disorder and memory impairment. The limbic system is inflamed and both basal ganglia are quite enlarged showing depression and anxiety.
The second deep scan with the ADD-care® supplement showed a huge improvement in dopamine in the cerebellum. The basal ganglia on the left hand side of the image was reduced by 60% and the one on the right eight hand side was reduced by 75%. The limbic system was increased by 50%.
The third deep scan with amphetamine sulfate (Adderall) showed only patchy improvement in the cerebellum from the first scan and not nearly as good as ADD-care®. The limbic system was significantly improved however vs. the supplement. Basal ganglia activity on the left hand side of the image was 70% better with the popular stimulant, but the right hand side was 75% better with ADD-care®.
During each scan the Conner's ADD Impulsivity test was administered. During the first scan she missed 4.44, the second scan missed 4.44, and the third scan the patient missed 4.44 so there was no difference noted on performance between the three groups although Janice stated subjectively that she was more focused and calm with ADD-care®.
