Young healthy male 21 years old

This patient has a Paill Spectrum infection in the frontal lobe of the brain.  Typical symptoms include: extreme anger, violence, irritability, mood swings, and memory loss.  This patient became a target for police when his extreme violence became a danger to everyone, including his partner.  He has become better on Paill Spectrum treatment.

21st October 2003

Presented with his partner after he had gone berserk for no obvious reason at their rental home.  He had destroyed many of their belongings.

He gave a history that in the past he had been always careful not to lose it, and could not understand why this event had happened.  He had always tried to count to ten before, rather than display any anger, and to control himself.

There was another episode recently when he had woken up one morning in his home with his partner and had been unable to remember who she was.  He did not remember that he had any relationship with this partner.

 

He complained of being very tired everyday, but was quite restless with his sleep, being unable to sleep more than 4 hours a night, for no obvious reason.  He had never had insomnia before and had always been able to sleep well

There had been some episodes of spins and dizziness exacerbated by sudden postural changes.

He also complained of bad headaches often.
He denied any history of drug use.

 

On examination:

He could not describe what he had done on most days in the last week.  He described most of his memories as fuzzy.

He was quite unsteady in walking with his eyes closed.

He showed me his phone that he had programmed with his reminders.  He actually had 20 reminders entered in so that he could remember things that he was supposed to do tomorrow. 
He described being lost in the local shopping centre and being unable to get out of the building.

 

Tests were positive for Paill Spectrum inflammatory markers.

The patient was borderline positive under my criteria for gluten allergy.  There was a folic acid deficiency noted as well as a mineral deficiency.

The short-term memory test of number recall showed mistakes, but the mistake pattern suggested only forgetting occasional numbers.

 

Discussion:

There is a substantial and extensive memory loss in this patient.  This is typical of severe frontal lobe Paill Spectrum disease.  The change is chronic and persistent.

Moodiness and irritability are also typical of Paill Spectrum disease.
The story was very consistent and believable.

 

Treatment was initiated with a broad spectrum multivitamin, with a specific mineral supplement and with antibiotics.

A CT Brain scan was undertaken and was seen to be normal.  (This is typical of Paill Spectrum).

 

 Follow up at One month:

He says he is feeling well now.
He has not been “off his brain” for some time.
Life at home has been much
more peaceful.
Feeling well.

His memory is a lot better: now he can describe exactly what he did today and for the last week. 
There is no longer any fuzziness.

His hands are noted to be very sweaty today.
The
balance has improved a lot, but is not quite perfectly normal.

He has begun to look for a job.  His partner is very happy.  Their relationship has improved and they are looking at moving together to another suburb.

There have been no more police incidents of “wilful damage” and his partner is very satisfied that he is behaving normally.
