Extractions: January 2001 In this Issue Andy Carlson: Hero Andy Carlson: Hero We have known Muriel all of our lives; long before she married, Jeff Carlson, a great man who died of Huntington*s disease in October of 1995. Like all of their many friends, we shared many good times with Muriel and Jeff and, sadly, watched their struggles during courageous battle with this horrible disease. But this story is not about the strength, courage and faith that Muriel and Jeff showed through this ordeal. This is about another hero; their son Andy, who graduated from High School in June. Andy Carlson was born in Minneapolis in 1982, Muriel and Jeff*s only child. When Andy turned three, his family moved to Savage, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis where he lived for the rest of his childhood. For the first nine years of his life, Andy's had the normal, happy, childhood that we all dream of for our children. He loved all sports, played games and developed his Dad*s sense of humor. Andy normal childhood began to change before he entered second grade. Jeff was diagnosed with Huntingtons in the summer of 1990. Later that year, Jeff took a disability retirement from his job as a computer programmer for Honeywell and began staying home full time. Throughout much of the next five years, Andy would come home after school and care for his Dad until Muriel came home from work. In addition to providing some of the physical care for his dad, Andy had to deal with his father's inconsistent personalities as the disease progressed. These changes occurred almost daily; outbursts in public, 911 calls to the home; deteriorating health. Andy learned to be very flexible. Neither Andy nor Muriel knew what Jeff*s temperament would be each day and would have to decide at the last minute if they could follow through with plans.

Extractions: Australian doctor advocates Chelation Therapy for Sri Lanka D r. Neil Scrimgeour of Western Australia, an expert in cost effective chelation therapy for the expensive by-pass heart surgery who was in Colombo last week, strongly advocated the adoption of cost-effective Chelation therapy - EDTA for heart patients in the state sector because it has got evidence based proven results in most of the countries, though it has not yet gone through the double blind trial, to be fully accepted by the western medical profession. Dr. Neil Scrimgeour speaking to the press at the National Chelation Therapy Clinic Dr. Neil at a press briefing held at the Ratnams Hospital chelation therapy unit in Colombo said, since chelation therapy treatment is only giving a 50 drip of EDTA one in 2 weeks. It does not involve keeping the patient in the hospital. That way the warded patient care costs could be heavily cut down. Then in addition with this treatment, easily fifty percent of the bypass and other heart surgeries could be cut down because about fifty percent of the heart patients who had taken chelation therapy had been cured. Some of them had been found inoperable by the cardiac surgeons owing to certain medical conditions. This way the government could make considerable savings in heart operations now being carried out in hospitals. In the long-run the general public too would greatly benefit from this shift.

Extractions: What is the world like? How does it behave? Can we understand it? Can we predict what will happen next? Throughout history people have tried to develop ways of understanding the world that are useful to their survival and happiness. A pattern of beliefs or perspective is called a paradigm. When the underlying beliefs and subsequent understanding changes radically, we call this a paradigm shift. My favorite example of a paradigm shift is the story of the admiral of the fleet who was participating in maneuvers on a battleship. The ship became lost in the fog and suddenly the lookout warned of a light approaching the ship. The admiral instructed the signalman to signal the other ship to change course immediately. The response was "Suggest you change course." The admiral was put out by this effrontery and had the signalman send "I am an admiral. You change your course immediately." The reply was "I am an ensign, respectfully suggest you change course sir." The exasperated admiral had the signal sent "This is a battleship, change course immediately."

Cytogenetic evaluation of patients is helpful in the counselling and management of affected individuals and families. Prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities in high risk pregnancies helps in detecting chromosomally abnormal foetuses. Such couples are counselled regarding continuation of pregnancy.

$500,000,000 Market For Huntingtons' Disease Treatment They deserve every penny. Jerry Posted to HDLighthouse 04 Dec 2002 1821.HDL Update $500,000,000 Market For huntingtons' disease Treatment, http://hdlighthouse.org/treatment-care/treatment/drugs/lax101/human/updates/0034
Extractions: "When you cut through all the detail, this could be a drug that is very significant for the treatment of Huntington's", Rick Stewart, Amarin CEO Amarin Corp is a $25 million British company that licenses and sells drugs to treat nerve disorders, like Parkinson's Disease. Amarin's chief executive, Rick Stewart, hails from SkyePharma a British drug developer. Stewart says that Amarin's research partner, Laxdale of Scotland, will follow up any day now on preliminary findings from a Phase III study of LAX-101, a treatment for Huntington's Disease. "This is the first time we have seen anything positive for Huntington's," says Stewart, who is shaking his head about the market's treatment of the preliminary findings. A study of 83 qualifying patients took place at Harvard, Emory and Johns Hopkins universities, and in the United Kingdom and Canada. Huntington's, a genetic disorder, has been diagnosed in about 30,000 Americans and an equal number of patients in Europe. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted LAX-101 a so-called fast-track designation.

Extractions: The patient with moderate Huntington's disease, like any person suffering from a chronic disease, can become an easy target for abuse. This can be a result of the mental changes that he or she has undergone, the caregivers inability to adapt fast enough, or the fact that the patient with Huntington's disease is an easily identified victim. The abuse can be either way. A caregiver can abuse the patient and the patient can abuse the caregiver and the rest of the family. The section on behavior has information on working with the behavioral changes associated with Huntington's disease. A practical guide for individuals, families and professionals coping with HD Jane S. Paulsen, PhD, 2000. A must-read for anyone who deals extensively with an HD-affected individual; ex plains not only the behavior challenges created by HD, but their origin in the HD-affected brain. By understanding the basis of these behaviors, Dr. Paulsen is able to suggest effective ways of dealing with and preparing for them. The book also covers environmental, individual and health factors that contribute to behavior problems. Problem-solving tips and techniques are given for behaviors arising from communication difficulties, memory problems, cognitive break
