ENDANGERED BRAINS

 by Kaye H. Kilburn M.D. April 2004

A “dirty dozen” chemicals cause brain damage.  Everyone should know how to recognize them.  Most of them are familiar, many are found at home and they hurt people. The damage they do is measurable and progressive.  This damage resembles that from trauma to the brain, but the key differences are more generalized and usually permanent.  Another crucial difference is: nothing reverses it, it does not go away. This is sudden aging, premature by 20 or more years!  Therefore, one must prevent damage by avoiding exposure.  The theme gathers patient stories that sadden but enliven my journey, the steps I took and thoughts I have had about this problem. Patients’ tears, fears and fates are the substance of this account freed of the numbers and statistics, (which can be found in my other book: Chemical Brain Injury). 

Over the years, I have measured brain damage from chemicals and saw deaths from problems many physicians had dismissed as, “it’s all in you head.”  My search for the cause led to chemicals, to the conveniences of modern life found at home, carried in insecticides, cleaning agents, carpets, and drapes-chemicals that cause brain damage.  The newest problems from mold exposures at home result from moisture between walls.
