ABSTRACT:
This invention proposes the existence of an alternate glucose pathway different from that presently accepted and offers different methods of proving this. The proposed alternate glucose pathway considers the cerebral spinal fluid as a major component of the pathway. Based on this, a diagnostic tool for detecting mental disorders and neurological disorders which can not be detected by CT Scan and MRI is proposed. Medications directed at the CSF are also proposed.
