it is pretty difficult to summarize it (^^. Could you please fill me in on 
this "German
medical study"^^^) since I don't have a medical background. It is my 
understanding that a German university study has found that some sport divers 
are showingsigns of neural damage even though they have not had any problems 
with DCS.The incidence of brain lesions and spinal nerve damage was /is 
higher among sport divers than amongst commercial divers and it doesn't seem 
to matter if you have dove a bunch or just a few times. The lesions have been 
spotted by test subjects being given MRIs. DAN has questioned the German 
study and many health officals claim the study is flawed. I'm interested in 
talking to divers who may have had an MRI recently and if so, what arethe 
results. The lesions can cause memory lose, vision problems etc.
