How do I get help to Fund my Wife's treatment for central nervous system disorder?


She was effected by Mercury Poisoning, has not been able to claim disability, due to a lack of medical records. We have a faith based foundation that will provide two thirds of her treatment, but we need $2500.00 They provide the other $5000.00 and will study her case for research in return for supplying the supplements she needs for treatment and we believe a total cure.

Many local grocers or conveniance stores will allow you to put
a donation jar or box in their stores to receive donations; also
you may get with local school, churchs, or any other organizations as this and see if they will help you with a bake sale to raise funds. Fund raisers can also be found by most candy producers such as Hershey and M&M's. Look on these websights. You may contact them and tell them your story and see what they may offer to do for you.  (+ info)

Can this affect your central nervous system?


I was diagnosed with ehlers danlos syndrome (classical type) on 4/3/08. Anyway, I've also been having a lot of gastrointestinal issues, electric shocks, tingling, dizziness, panic attack type symptoms, cognitive problems, etc...Symptoms similar to lyme disease or MS. Anyway, my doc thinks it could be my EDS affecting my CNS. Do you think that could be it? She said there's a team of neurologists in NY who are doing studies on the connection between EDS and the CNS. Thanks!

Though I'm also not familiar w/ this syndrome, the issues you described are a typical "laundry-list" of a disseminated Lyme infection. (tingling in the extremities?..."migrating" symptoms?)
I would go see another doc for a 2nd opinion & ask to have the bloodwork for Lyme tesitng sent to a top-notch lab like MDL in NJ, or IGeneX in CA.
IF it IS determined to be Lyme, you need to start on appropriate abx ASAP to reverse the infection.
Beware: With any spirochetal disease, the recovery process means you will 1st get sicker before you get better, due to symptoms caused by the die-off.
But you WILL get better! Best of luck.  (+ info)

Do a Taser's(R) shock affect the localized area or the entire central nervous system?


Does the electrical current affect only the local skeletal muscles or does it affect the entire central nervous system when a human is shocked by a Taser(R)? What are all the side effects? Do Taser(R) shocks exacerbate preexisting medical conditions? I cannot get a straight answer to these questions with my research.
----------

It actually interferes with the sensory nerves and motor nerves, causing muscle contractions, and sometimes tremors.

Since both sensory AND motor nerves are involved, the central and peripheral nervous systems are affected.  (+ info)

Directly, no. Indirectly, by the spine growing curved and then pinching nerves, yes. It can cause numbness.  (+ info)

In the longer term, regular alcohol consumption increases your risks of: liver damage, cancer (of the liver, mouth, throat, and breast), mental health problems, weight gain, heart disease, stroke, shrunken genitals and reduced fertility. Alcohol reduces your body's ability to absorb nutrition, and the weight gain can also contribute to other conditions such as diabetes.
