Hi, back again, just saw pdoc and asked him about SPECT, as disability pdoc suggested it. He said it does show "hot spots" it is interesting, but other than a tool to help people see that they do have something wrong with their brain, thats about it...he said, you already accept you have something wrong with your brain, so there is no need to do it. He has used it to confirm a diagnosis. If something were found, it could be biopsied...and my local hospital now has one and a doctor to interpert the results. but but but... I can see why the other poster suggested scammy, the amen clinic sounds that way with its dr.writing accounts in the first person voice. I think as patients we all need to be alert to choices, new ideas and at the same time, be sure and get lots of opinions.
> how is this a scam? I suposse PET scans are a scam too?
