Hydrofracking, Ventriculomegaly and Brain Atrophy

Posted on March 7, 2013 by uprightdoctor

Chronic venous drainage problems and high CSF pressure waves can lead to hydrofracking, ventriculomegaly and atrophy of the brain seen in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading →

CSF and Cerebellar Symptoms in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and MS

Posted on May 10, 2012 by uprightdoctor

The cerebellum may be affected in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Chiari malformations and Dandy-Walker syndrome due to obstruction of CSF flow in the foramen magnum and upper cervical spinal canal. Continue reading →

The Cisterns and Cine CSF Flow Studies

Posted on March 18, 2012 by uprightdoctor

Blockage of CSF flow in the spinal canal can cause an increase in CSF volume, backjets and turbulance in the cisterns that may play a role in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. Continue reading →

CSF Cistern Compression of the Brainstem

Posted on February 28, 2012 by uprightdoctor

Obstruction to CSF and venous blood flow between the brain and cord can lead to an increase in CSF in the cisterns and subsequent dysautonomia, Parkinsonism and cerebellar signs and symptoms, as well as atrophy of the brainstem and cerebellum. Continue reading →

Cervical Spondylosis and CSF Flow in the Cisterns

Posted on February 9, 2012 by uprightdoctor

Degenerative changes in the cervical spine called spondylosis can cause tubulance, backjets and standing waves of CSF to form in the basal cisterns of the brain resulting in neurodegenerative processes and subsequent diseases such as Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.

CSF Currents, Winds and Tides

Posted on November 15, 2011 by uprightdoctor

CSF flow is determined by currents, winds and tides that can pound and erode the brain when the flow is blocked or their forces collide. Continue reading →

CSF, Clapotis, Cisterns and Cysts

Posted on October 16, 2011 by uprightdoctor

It is possible that faulty CSF flow through the foramen magnum and upper cervical spine can result in standing waves and water hammers that causes cysts to form in the cisterns, subarachnoid spaces and central canal. Continue reading →

The Missed Measure of Man

Posted on September 12, 2011 by uprightdoctor

The design of the posterior fossa predisposes humans to normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), Chiari malformations, cysts such as Dandy-Walker syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading →

Cysts, Syrinxes and CSF

Posted on August 22, 2011 by uprightdoctor

In addition to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, obstruction to CSF flow can cause turbulance and jets that erode tissues and lead to the formation of cysts and syrinxes in the brain and cord. Continue reading →

Kyphosis, Stenosis and Multiple Sclerosis

Posted on July 8, 2011 by uprightdoctor

Kyphosis changes the normal alignment of the spine and strains the brainstem and cord inside the skull and spinal canal. It can also lead to CCSVI, CCVBP and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading →
