Regarding follow up, it is important that you have a baseline neurologic exam with detailed motor exam performed by your neurologist, and subsequent exams after the treatment. Probably a week or two into the treatment. The follow up exams are more objective if performed by the same physician. According to this, and to what the patient experiences, the duration of treatment can be decided.

Does anyone know about the Shoemaker protocol? I talked to a gal on the phone today who works in an LLND office. She was kind enough to take some time out of her day and give me some info on their clinic. I believe that they utilize the Shoemaker protocol. She told me that some people are genetically predisposed in not being able to get rid of biotoxins. They do testing that costs $1500, but supposedly it's the best testing on the market.

The best approach to fully evaluate these symptoms is to be referred to a neurologist. He/she may want to obtain an updated MRI using a stroke protocol that includes DWI imaging. Also, an EEG would be needed to evaluate for epileptiform activity. If seizures are identified, your relative should be started on an anti-seizure medication.

Hello dear and welcome to the welcome to the medhelp forum. Management of obstructive hydrocephalus from aqueductal stenosis is the same as for other causes. This could mean diverting the cerebrospinal fluid flow with a shunt or third ventriculostomy done endoscopically. The lesion at the posterior third ventricle needs to be evaluated. Whether it is a cyst or tumor, which is the cause for aqueduct stenosis, management would be different.

Under NO circumstances should you use the ultrasound unit around your carotid arteries. The vibrations from the unit can dislodge plaque and cause a stroke as the debri flows upward into the bood vessels of the brain. This is the reason carotid massage (which was once a standard procedure in ER's to treat tachycardia) has been banned for the last three decades in most ER's. I have had cervical injuries and had ultrasound, and my belief is that the treatment is inappropriate.

She couldn’t drive.
