[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).
