The loss of speaking ability and cognitive impairment sound awfully like
'allergic' reactions to molds like Stachybotris aurus (spelling not sure).

And in children who are prone to seizures, a ketogenic diet high in protein
and fat and low/absent in carbohydrates, can result in fewer seizures -- but
if the person then eats carbs (like a child who eats a cookie that a
neighbor offers), they can have a massive seizure.

So definitely, carbohydrate metabolism is linked to the brain.  As are
'allergies' to molds.  I put the allergy in quotes because it may be more
'sensitivity' to mold, rather than a technical allergy.

P.S.  All those emails with the virus, on my computer, are exactly 40k in
length, so it is easy to spot them and just delete them.  I have email
through hotmail, which scans everything with the most up-to-date virus
scanning programs available.
