[Persistent Post Concussion Symptoms Success Story] Patient completes marathon!

I got this email last month from a patient I've been working with for a while. Before treatment she was suffering with visual processing difficulty and sensitivity, extreme headaches, fatigue that started at 3:00 PM (her "witching hour"), and diffuse hair loss.

My diagnostic work up showed high inflammation markers, and her Comprehensive Lymphocyte Immunophenotyping test (her immune system "fingerprint") showed high CD8, low TH2 and an abnormally high Th1/Th2 ratio.

Fast forward a bit on her treatment plan, and this is what she sent me a couple of weeks ago.

[ More than HALF of Patients with a mTBI and Negative CT Scan are NOT Recovered After 6 Months ]

New research in JAMA Neurology reports that over 50% of patients who suffer a mild TBI (aka Concussion) and have a NEGATIVE CT scan are NOT recovered 6 months after their injury.

Why is this such a big deal?

Previously, the prevailing information was that roughly 75% of patients with concussion would be recovered in 30 days.

This led to a lot of people who will were still suffering symptoms at 1 month, 2 months, or 6 months after their injury being blown off and told they were depressed etc.

Now, the mindset is going to have to change.

The truth is...MOST people with a mtBI/Concussion are NOT recovered 6 months later.

So, calling these suffering people 'depressed' or 'crazy' is no longer acceptable. It's time to do the detective work and figure out why they haven't recovered.

Why are they not recovered?

That's a long answer, but basically it boils down into these two reasons:

• Metabolic Problems (hormones, inflammation, gut function, nutrient deficiencies, HPA Axis)

• Circuit Problems (distinct brain areas and pathways that are UNDER functioning or OVER functioning).

If you want to learn more about those and what I do to treat them and help patients finally recovery, go here:

The eyes are the window to the Brain!

Super excited to be trying out the new Neurolign VOG equipment. It does an AMAZING job of recording and analyzing eye movements that we can use to diagnose treat:
✅ Concussion and Post Concussion syndrome
✅ Vestibular problems like vertigo, dizziness and balance
✅ Vision problems
✅ Cognitive problems
✅ movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease

[Brain Injury Awareness Event in Raleigh on 2/28 ]

I'm sponsoring the Raleigh date for Amy Zellmer's *Not Invisible* Tour.

Amy is launching a two-year, international awareness campaign through the use of photography to visually show that while brain injury may be an invisible injury — the survivors are not!

She is raising awareness of this invisible injury that affects over 3.5 million American’s each year in an effort to help people find resources sooner.

During this event you will hear Amy’s story, learn how to share your own story, and also how to be a part of the campaign through aggressive social media sharing.

All survivors are invited to take part in a research survey that Amy has created in partnership with *CTE Hope*. The objective of this research survey: To identify trends in types, diagnosis, and resources of brain injury.

This event is free to attend, so share it!

-->When: Thursday, February28th, 2019 4-6pm

-->Where: WakeMedRaleigh Campus — Andrews Center
 3024 New Bern Ave, Raleigh, NC

Agenda:

4:00-4:30 meet & greet and photo booth

4:30-5:15 presentation

5:15-6:00 Research survey and photographs
