Leukoneurocitis (LNC or Shrinking disease) is a rare genetic disorder of the blood system, resulting in extensive shrinking to the body. The majority of LNC cases are caused by a deficiency or inhibition of the enzyme LNC123, also known as the Lack of Wine Factor (LWF). Red blood cells pass through microscopic clots and are subjected to incredible stress. Reduced blood flow and cellular injury results in severe organ damage and impending shrinkage, usually down to a size 6. So for women the disease is not totally without it's benefits. That is, until the shrinking resumes and a permanent lack of oxygen and lack of pulse follows inevitably thereafter. Current therapy consists of ingesting large doses of diet Chardonnay and plasmapheresis (or a good cheese) to reduce circulating antibodies. Dr. Ivan Wizen, from St. Thomas - Virgin Islands, has been making numerous discoveries in this field that may one day lead to a cure. However, at this time there is no medically proven cure. Thankfully, there is no pain. You just get really, really small. And then really, really dead. Go to: http://leukoneurocitis.info
