Rediscovery of Brain and Memory.

A While Ago, I found this really great book, got very excited, and forgot to read it!
In my unpacking, I found it the day before I had this interesting phone call with my little brother.

There are no accidents.

The book is 'Driven to Distraction' , by Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. & John J. Ratey
It is a book about Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood through Adulthood.

ADD's, L.D.'s and Depression run in my family Genetics. Along with High Intelligence and Creativity, Stubbornness, and Sense of Humor! My sister says they should study us as a family and name a syndrome after us. (Hmmm...)

My little brother has just been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. Basically the Receptor Sites in the Brain are Damaged. Interesting! Memory and Attention are affected. He has a very serious case!

So, I recommended that he check out Brain Place.com. Dr. Amen does Brain SPECT Imaging.
His site is extremely informative, and includes a questionnaire through which one can discover if you have ADD, and which type or types(as in my case...4). I highly recommend this site and his books. There are Public Television Documentaries on Dr. Amen, also.

Another book that I found the day after our conversation is a sort of Lay persons guide to the Brain.
'A User's Guide To The Brain, Perception, Attention, and the Four Theaters of the Brain' by John J. Ratey, M.D. (Yes, co-author of Driven to Distraction).

I studied ADD and L.D. in my Special Education Training.

I also advocate and market the Super Blue Green Algae! the Algae feeds the Neurotransmittors in the Brain, thereby allowing them to get to where they are going, and you also should have enough of them!

So, I will set myself to study these books and seek answers about damaged receptor sites, and the possibility of natural repair, or regeneration!

If you know anything about this, please jump in and contribute!
