I wish you the best of luck and urge you to do some research re medical doctors and natural therapies.
The medical and pharmaceutical industries are incredibly untrustworthy and you need to check things out thoroughly when dealing with them.
Natural therapies can be very good but be careful with your research. Remember nature has been used remedially for thousands of years. But be careful the information / practitioners you check out are genuine - easy sign of dodgy natural therapy practitioners is if they are expensive. Most trustable Natural Practitioners are genuinely concerned about people's health and advancing natural medicine, and they are normally reasonable or cheaper than reasonable in price.

I am not a doctor, but you have the right to discuss this in detail with the physician that diagnosed the deposits. Remember, you pay them a tremendous fee, and you have the right to have good service for that fee.
If you are worried, ask your dad to make an appointment and both go and talk to the doc., take a list of your concerns so you are sure that you don't forget to ask something. good luck

My dear, if you had a brain scan and found this out, why don't you ask your doctor all these questions. He is someone you can trust for and honest, informed, intelligent answer. Don't ask a question this serious on here. This is your life that is at stake so ask a professional.

Please ask your dad about your concerns, and ask to have another appointment with your doctor to ask him all about your condition. You have a right as a patient to know what is going on. Write out all your questions beforehand, and don't leave until you understand.
As for your condition, I don't know any details. I can tell you that doctors don't know much about inherited conditions vs. not, so do not worry about that part of it. They may have told you it can run in families to make you less worried.
