Nice to see Dr. Mike Varshavski's little fact checks of super-quack Daniel Amen, MD and his SPECT scan grift.
Still no evidence SPECT scans are better than tea leaves for psychiatry.
Note: Daniel Amen's claims about "toxic mold" and Lyme disease causing psychiatric disorders are similar nonsense.

Belief in unsubstantiated "co-infections" is so common in the chronic Lyme cult that slang has developed.
They talk about "Bart," "Babs," and the "Three Bs": Bartonella, Babesia, and Borrelia (the bacteria that causes Lyme).
Bartonella is not thought to be a tick-borne infection in North America.

See this appalling paper by ILADS leader Richard Horowitz, MD.
He dosed 200 patients with a lengthy drug regimen. And 99.5% (all but 1) seem to have been considered positive for at least 2 "co-infections".
