Over the years some posters have mentioned unusual findings as a result of CT scans of their brain. My hope is that those posters will view this thread and reply. tinyurl.com/y2k9csn Fungal DNA was found in 35 of 38 (92.11%) coronary heart disease patients by either polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with universal primers or in situ hybridization analysis (n = 5), but not in any control sample. In a clone library with more than 350 sequenced clones from pooled patient DNA, an overall richness of 19 different fungal phylotypes could be observed. Fungal profiles of coronary heart disease patients obtained by DGGE analysis showed a median richness of fungal species of 5 (range from 2 to 9) with a high interindividual variability (mean similarity 18.83%). For the first time, the presence of fungal components in atherosclerotic plaques has been demonstrated. Coronary atheromatous plaques harbour diverse and variable fungal communities suggesting a polymicrobial contribution to the chronic inflammatory aetiology.

Doesn't surprise, Sid - good work in putting this together with our disease.
It's the heart stopping that's killing the frogs, too.

Will Thomas reported findings some time ago of over 300 virally mutated types of fungi in the air after chemtrailing. Clifford Carnicom has reported levels of mold and fungi in the air so high that they are creating a hazard for human health.
Clifford took his readings in the desert where one would normally expect to find relatively pristine air quality.
All this mutated mold and fungal stuff being sprayed in the air is of course causing problems. Animal and plant life is suffering. Unusual fungal infections are being reported in bats, bees and humans.
I know I have something fungal going on because my skin smells moldy. I have been having problems with lungs and heart and suspect that fungus is involved.
When I had my scan it picked up a 3 cm mass in my chest. My doctor thinks this is a fungal ball. Some researchers have reported that people with cancer invariably have fungal infections of their blood.
I suspect with the air being so full of this stuff there will be more reports of unusual health problems related to fungal infections.

Doesn't surprise me glenn that Cliff's readings of desert air had such high levels of mold and fungi. I'm in the high desert and there's sooo much testing and chemtrailing that goes on around here I keep thinkin I'm gonna look up one day and the sky will be red instead of blue! Lots of testing goes on in the deserts.
Hope you're feelin ok buddy... always praying for you.
hugs ~~ bannanny

Don't know if this is useful but Dr Shoemaker had me get an MRI of brain even though I had one less than a yr before.
MRI of brain without contrast, MRI spectroscopy
Clinical history: history of mold exposure
Findings: Abnormal signal is noted in the left frontal lobe periventricular white matter extending to the cortex in a linear fashion which is concerning for cortical dysplasia. There is minimal asymmetry of the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles, the left is likely larger. Another possibility includes a prior insult of indeterminate nature. At the left inferior frontal lobe, there is the suggestion of thickening of the cortical ribbon. Otherwise, there is no mass, mass effect or midline shift. There are no intra- or extraaxial fluid collections. There is no restricted effusion to suggest an acute infarct. Single-voxel spectroscopy was performed of the bilateral frontal and temporal lobes demonstrates diagnostic spectra.
Conclusion 1. Abnormal signal is seen in the left frontal lobe periventricular white matter in a linear fashion with suggestion of thickening of the cortex of the left inferior frontal lobe. These findings are concerning for migration disorders such as cortical dysplasia. Repeat examination with high resolution T1-weighted images is suggested for further investigation. A second possibility includes an old insult of uncertain etiology. 2. Single-voxel MRI spectroscopy obtained of the bilateral frontal and temporal lobes demonstrates diagnostic spectra. 3. Infratentorially, the mid brain, pons, dura and craniocervical junction are unremarkable. The cerebellum has normal appearance and there is no cerebrellar tonsillar ectopia. Flow voids are noted in the major intracranial vessels and dural sinuses. The pituitary gland is contained within the sella and has normal appearance. Limited examination of the orbits, mastoids, and paranasal sinuses are unremarkable. The cerebellar tonsils are located at the foramen magnum.
I haven't discussed these with dr yet and don't understand what they mean.

I don't know anything about these results other than a few terms.
I am very curiious as to you having an MRI of your brain rather than a CT Scan.
I ask because I had a CT scan of brain and sinuses last week and a second CT scan of my brain today. Hmmmmm. I just don't know!
Some of the RN's will provide clues I hope.

Sidney,
CT versus MRI from a radiologic point of view.
CT doesn't visualize the soft matter as well as MRI. CT is often the first step prior to an mRI.
CT=xray MRI= magnetic resonance (is not xray)
Both can visualize "soft" matter, but MRI is the gold standard, especially in small areas in which more detail are needed.
Since they have done two, I am suspecting something along or in the arteries or veins? These can be done quite nicely on CT with contrast. CT has come a long way, and they have some fantastic 3-D applications, especially with the vessels in the brain. It is actually quite good now and much cheaper than an MRI.
The contrasts used are also quite different.
CT= Omnipaque or Visipaque MRI= Gadolinium
You had your sinuses scanned as well, and CT is the Gold standard for sinus work.

Thanks so much, Frito. You did a fantastic job of explaning and I appreciate your explanation!

It is quite a bit of radiation, but then gadolinium isn't all that great either. Over the course of a lifetime, CT doesn't tip the scale unless multiple ones are had in a few years time and even then, the potential benefit versus risk should be considered. If I remember correctly, it is compared to living in the mountains for a year or three years and a chest xray is compared to living in the mountains for three days or a day. And we all have discussed Gadolinium at one time. So if they find something, in which in Sidney's case they have, then this becomes the consideration. You can find this quoted information in any text book of Radiology and also widely on the net. A CT scan of the head is still less radiation than a scan of the abdomen. Much less. And there are risks to everything we do. I think Sidney will be fine as far as the scans go. Frito

Dr. Shoemaker didn't say (at least to me) what he was looking for but he did tell me where to get it because 'They know what I'm looking for'. It was long- over an hour. Boorrring. Plus they locked my head in a helmet-like thing. Kiki
Oh--my report mentioned possible old insult/injury. About 10 yrs ago mr kiki kinda threw me on his shoulder but I kept going and dropped on my head on a parking lot and I got 12 staples in my scalp. OUCH ouch ouch. They didn't even numb it! Lesson- drink chocolate covered shots at your own risk.
