Nuerological Effects of Huntington's Disease

This diagram depicts the affected areas of the brain in someone with Huntington's Disease:

 
As you can see, a large portion of the brain is greatly effected, causing extreme amounts of damage.
Here is a list of the functions of each part of the brain effected, showing you the detrimental losses an individual with Huntington's Disease undergoes.
 
Primary Motor Cortex - tells us that various regions of the cerebral cortex are involved in planning of the voluntary motor functions in the human body.
Premotor Cortex - to send messages that direct movements of the body to accomplish specific tasks. The premotor cortex has a lateral and medial area.
Primary Somatosensory Cortex -  It comprises essential processing centres, or sensory modalities, such as proprioception, tactilation or mechanoception (touch), thermoception (temperature), and nociception (pain). The sensory receptors cover the skin and epithelia, skeletal muscles, bones and joints, internal organs, and the cardiovascular system.
Wernicke's Area - the region of the brain where spoken language is understood.
Broca's Area - Broca's area is one of the main areas of the cerebral cortex responsible for producing language.
Primary Auditory Cortex - The function of the primary auditory cortex is to process sound. It processes such information as pitch, volume and the location of a sound, and is crucial for understanding language.
Primary Visual Cortex -  the portion of the cerebral cortex of the brain that receives and processes impulses from the optic nerves.

  1. My sister was diagnosed of Parkinsons Disease at age 57. She had slurred
    speech and severe tremors, she was put on sinemet and Siferol for over
    14 months. During this time span she was also diagnosed with dementia.
    Her care provider adivce we start on herbal treatment from ULTIMATE
    HEALTH HOME (Reach them at ultimatehealthhome@gmail.com). Within 2
    months on the treatment she improved dramatically. At the end of the
    full treatment course, the disease is totally under control, no case
    of hallucination, tremors, weakness, muscle pain and she can walk
    just fine

  2. My 17 year old son had Huntington’s Disease HD and no social life. Everybody picks on him in school he stays cooped up in his room 24/7. Also he doesn't want to play any sports and he is not in any club at school. No one wants to be his friend and it hurts me so bad and he felt bad also. I bumped into a story in HD, and I read about a cure through herbs with interest.. I researched more to be sure it was not a hoax.  In my quest, I contacted multivitamincare org herbs mentioned in the testimony. I got their herbal medicine for my son.. It's been 4 years and he is perfectly okay because the herbal treatment has successfully got rid of his condition. For your loved ones with Huntington’s Disease HD, take them off English medicine and use multivitamincare org herbal treatment,im referring to anybody suffering from this  Huntington’s Disease HD condition and they have assurance about these treatments.
