Comment of the Nature of the Neuroses as a Disease Category

These conditions (neuroses), are regarded as being distinct from the psychoses by usual medical thinking. In the Paill Spectrum model as pioneered by Dr. Andrew Xxxxx’s opinion, they are not. Psychoses represent a broad range of multiple intense inappropriate beliefs while some of the obsessions represent a single psychotic intensity belief in the context of a relatively intact reality framework. The only real difference here is simply the amount of damage being done to the patient, or the extent of the symptoms present.

In the Paill Spectrum Model, The difference between neuroses and psychoses is simply
a matter of quantity , not one of quality.
The two types of condition (Neuroses & Psychoses), differ only in terms of the extent and nature of the damage done by the same disease process.

.An example comes to mind of two elderly ladies in hospital together. One of the women had schizophrenia, (classically regarded as madness). The other had a condition called OCD, where she had developed a germ phobia, and was convinced that there were germs everywhere. (Actually true.) The lady with schizophrenia mentioned the other lady with whom she shared a room. She said, "Look, I know I have Schizophrenia. But that lady, (the one with OCD), She's Mad!"

.The difference between Neuroses & Psychoses,
may simply be a matter of quantity , not one of quality.

The Paill Spectrum model suggests that these "different" conditions may be more closely related than is currently appreciated. Patients with anxiety disorders (one of the neuroses) and patients with psychoses, have real physical conditions affecting their mind. The problem is not " all in your head".

Clinical Definition of Anxiety & Related Disorders

Anxiety:
- is defined as a feeling of apprehension, fear, worry, or concern.
Panic attacks are discrete episodes of severe anxiety
- With physical symptoms of discomfort such as shortness of breath, being unable to breathe, sharp chest wall pain, palpitations (funny beats of the heart), choking or smothering sensations, a need to escape the situation or place to ease the anxiety, or perhaps a fear of going crazy or of losing control of oneself. :-/ Back to Anxiety top

Agoraphobia

is a fear of being a place or situation from which the person believes escape may be difficult. The affected person avoids these situations or places. :-0

Physical symptoms associated with anxiety include:

Trembling or shaking: the jitters
Sweating all over, Hot flushes, chills
Fast or heavy heart beats (Palpitations)
Feelings of shortness of breath or smothering
Chest pains
Nausea (sick feelings), or stomach discomfort
Faint dizzy (not unsteady dizzy)
Numbness or tingling sensations of the face, lips, or hand extremities.
Back to Anxiety top

PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is characterised by:

Recurrent intrusive distressing: thoughts, dreams, and memories
Triggered by exposure to reminders of the event
Persistent avoidance of stimuli to reminders of the event

Feelings of detachment or estrangement from others (I don't belong here).
Persistent physical stress symptoms following an event experience: difficulty falling or staying asleep, irritability or anger, poor concentration, enhanced vigilance (I can't ever relax because I am afraid something dreadful is going to happen) and exaggerated startle reactions to minor stimuli.(They jump at little things that should not scare them).Back to Anxiety top

People with panic attacks feel as if they are running out of time.
They need to move or escape, but from what and to where?

Paill Spectrum Model of Infection Waves in the Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety/ Panic and Agoraphobia is perhaps a first wave Paill Spectrum phenomenon

PTSD and OCD are perhaps second wave Paill Spectrum phenomena. These conditions occur predominantly in adults. Anxieties need not be an exclusively adult phenomena, but children rarely know how to complain. It is possible that children who fidget excessively or display bizarre phobias, may have a symptom of anxiety.

The Paill Spectrum Model and Markers of Disease,
in the Anxiety Disorders

The Paill Spectrum disease model as pioneered by Dr. Andrew Xxxxx, suggests that many neuroses like Anxiety, Panic, Agoraphobia, OCD, or PTSD- like illnesses are caused by infection with the Paill Spectrum organism. The presence of the organism can be detected by specific blood tests, responds to specific antibiotics, (documentable by an IgG / IgM response to those same antibiotics) and is associated with other characteristic symptoms unique to the Paill Spectrum organism. These other symptoms will also improve subtly and slowly but definitely with Paill Spectrum treatment. Back to Anxiety top

It is critical to treat people with effective therapy, not just symptomatic medication, or drugs. Medicine for “symptoms” does not change the progress of the disease. Common medications used include: the antidepressants such as: Zoloft (Sertraline), Prozac, Aropax, Tryptanol (Amitriptyline often confused as amitriptyline / amitriptyline). These treatments relieve the symptoms of the illness and make people feel better.

More common medications used to treat anxieties include "Sedative" class medications; Typical examples are:
Benzodiazepine class medications: Diazepam (Valium) or Oxazepam (Serepax or Murelax) as well as many others. Alcohol : is a good if very short acting sedative. :-| Back to Anxiety top

In summary, there are a number of medications that are commonly used to ease symptoms of anxiety. Society often regards these people as just having some sort of weakness. It would be more truthful to say that these patients use these medications because they find they need to. They also often need to use them long term, frequently and often. The reason given by the disease model pioneered by Dr. Andrew Xxxxx, is perhaps a Paill Spectrum reason.

So, What is Wrong with our Current Understanding of Anxiety?

In the Paill Spectrum model:
Often Unrecognised Symptoms of Paill Spectrum
in Patients with these “Neuroses”
include many different Symptoms and Signs

There are many symptoms common in patients with anxiety that are not recognised.

Sore regions of the body such as sore elbows (tennis or golfers elbows),
Sore chest,
Sharp chest jabs often called by doctors: atypical chest wall pains: not your heart, (non-cardiac)
Poor balance
Sweaty Hands Back to Anxiety top
Poor memory: failing ability to recall phone numbers
Narrow mindedness
Memory or recall issues.
Failing ability to recall phone numbers
Associative Deficits

((LINK: one way))

Sequencing Deficits: Problems with sequence processing of ideas or activities.

Long sequences of planned activities are easily forgotten or are easily changed to incorrect sequences of activities.
For example, someone who needs to get up in the TV break, feed the dog and brush their teeth may find themselves in the bathroom holding a can of dog food or may have put their toothbrush in the fridge and forgotten about the dog food. Many people just regard this problem, just as a simple example of bad memory. The Paill Spectrum model suggests the problem is sequencing of memory , not just a memory dysfunction.
School performance and work performance in these severely affected individuals deteriorates rapidly. Back to Anxiety top

Mood volatility:

rapid escalations or changes in mood state with the affected people often being easily distracted
Capacity to show “rage”.

Failing relationships: ;-[
The partners of these people often think they are mad as they develop intense fixations on particular ideas or beliefs. These beliefs are inconsolable and are often unable to be changed by discussions with people around them. They can be quite bizarre such as “real men always have the toilet paper over not under.”

Impulsive behaviour:

Stupid things done for stupid reasons, occasionally causing harmful social or legal consequences. Back to Anxiety top

.A serious late adult symptom is distorted memories: The affected person remembers things that the people they know well, realise are quite untrue.

“Crisis: events" :-0

Previously well people often rapidly develop episodes of deterioration or illness.
Memory loss is often severe and prolonged. One person reported that their partner of six months woke up one morning and asked them who they were.
The “facies” of the person in crisis is quite distinctive.
The have a flat unresponsive appearance often with a dearth of speech.
Back to Anxiety top

Many of these symptoms and signs are of illness
are common to all Paill Spectrum Illnesses,
in the Paill Spectrum Model.

The same list of unexpected findings would occur in many patients with a Paill Spectrum condition, since the underlying disease process is the same in all the illnesses.

Science and Computers: anxiety is a non-scientific diagnosis

There is no scientific method of confirming a psychiatric diagnosis.
Paill Spectrum can be confirmed by multiple blood tests at any one time & by sequential assays.

Other symptoms of Paill Spectrum will often be found if searched for. Distinct blood test changes will also be found. Patients respond to both nutritional and antibiotic therapies. Relying solely on antibiotic therapy is unwise with Paill Spectrum. The Paill Spectrum model of disease as developed by Dr. Xxxxx suggests that current psychiatric medications may assist with some of the behavioural quirks associated with the condition in giving symptomatic relief in much the same way that Paracetamol (Panadol) gives relief from headaches or fever. These medications make behaviours rapidly better. They do not change the progress of the Asperger’s or the developmental problems.

See Cases of depression / exacerbated by anxiety. There are other cases which are relevant to the sorts of ways that depressed people may present to their doctor.

For More Clinical Information: See :>>

Analysing Cases, Using the Paill Spectrum Model:

Case 1 : Acute Depression with jitters after a death in the family

This patient experiences attacks of "Anxious Depression". This complex history shows the appearance of symptoms of Paill Spectrum such as headaches and the typical sore spots over many years. Paill Spectrum treatment resolves the symptoms. She relapses many months after ceasing treatment, a typical Paill Spectrum scenario.

Case 3 : A Young Man with a "blanking" crisis

This man presented acutely ill, barely able to communicate. He was irritable and "lazy", but not depressed. With Paill Spectrum treatment he started to work again and to talk freely.

Case 5 : A Bad Young Man

This angry young person with a very poor memory, became a very pleasant well behaved industrious family man after a course of Paill Spectrum treatment. Back to Anxiety top

Case 6 : Mainly anxiety, but mixed with misery as the relationship gets stressed

This young woman's life was beginning to unravel. Anxiety, irritability, panic attacks and fighting with her spouse was pushing her relationship to the brink. She responded very well to Paill Spectrum treatment but relapsed as often occurs months after ceasing the treatment. The condition responded well to a second round of treatment.

Prognosis with Anxiety or Related Neuroses
in the Paill Spectrum Model

There is no magic cure for people who have a long history of Anxiety, phobia, OCD, or PTSD disorders. The damage has already been done, but there is also ongoing damage. Without treatment these Paill Spectrum conditions continue to progress. Symptomatic treatment with antidepressants is important as people feel better quickly and function better if they lose their symptoms of depression. In the long-term the Paill Spectrum disease process which may underlie their illness continues to progress.

The next phase of the progression of a long term Paill Spectrum developmental illness involves:

Chronic severe memory loss
Distorted memories
Severe mood volatility with a high risk of “rage” episodes in some situations, violent behaviour, aggressiveness,
Bizarre fixations or thoughts, with a faint normal flavour Back to Anxiety top

.There is a classical IgM and IgG immune response evident over three months if the Paill Spectrum treatment is initiated, confirming the initial diagnosis (based on the criteria as mentioned in the Download Page again). More Information is available on the two
CDs written by Dr. Andrew Xxxxx.

Symptoms return in some patients in three to nine months,
if underlaying nutritional risk factors remain unchanged.

Predicted Treatment “Effects” in the Paill Spectrum Model

Paill Spectrum treatment comes as a package deal. All of the types of nutritional and antibiotic therapy are critical to the long-term treatment success. Bizarre events may occur with treatment, though these are only usually seen in the second line antibiotic therapies. The therapies chosen and promoted in this website are chosen for safety and low side effect profile. The Paill Spectrum model of disease as developed by Dr. Xxxxx suggests that these are signposts on the road to recovery, not as reasons to abandon treatment. The Paill Spectrum model predicts these reactions and treatment events. Extreme care should be taken not to label them simply as allergies without full history and assessment of the individual's case. Back to Anxiety top

.The Paill Spectrum model gives that anxiety and elated conditions are real symptoms of a real disease, and that the conditions need "real" treatment. Possible Paill Spectrum
