    Summary: A pioneering physician reveals how childhood stress leads to lifelong health problems and what we can do to break the cycle. For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of children who do, the innovative and acclaimed health interventions outlined in this book will represent vitally important hope for change.

    Antisera were raised against degrading amyloid fibrils isolated from the heart of a patient with senile cardiac amyloidosis (SCA), and from a medullary carcinoma of the thyroid (MCT). The antisera were absorbed and used in indirect immunofluorescence to identify an amyloid fibril protein (ASCA) in heart tissue from patients with senile cardiac amyloidosis and to identify the amyloid fibril protein (AMCT) found in association with medullary carcinomas of the thyroid. Absorbed anti-ASCA antiserum did not react with normal tissue such as heart, liver, spleen, and striated muscle, or with amyloid tissue known to contain amyloid fibril proteins AA, AlambdaI, AlambdaIV, AlambdaV, AMCT or with pancreatic tissue containing islet amyloid deposits. The reactions with senile amyloid he,rt tissue could be blocked completely by degraded amyloid fibrils extracted from senile amyloid heart tissue or by amyloid fibril protein ASCA isolated from such fibrils. The anti-AMCT antiserum showed a similar specific reaction restricted to amyloid associated with MCT. In addition, antisera specific for amyloid fibril proteins AA, AlambdaI, AlambdaIV, and AlambdaV failed to react with senile cardiac amyloid, pancreatic islet amyloid, or medullary thyroid amyloid.
