concussion
I saw that Dr Hellerstein had posted a high recommendation on Facebook of a very interesting looking article from the British medical journal The Lancet. It's really a great resource. I have to say that I would like to see the 'concussion' word stay as a physics word and anything that had to do with the brain be called a brain injury (mild if it is what has been historically, sloppily, called "concussion", which takes out the 'brain' reference and hence my wanting to see change on that front). read more »
I found this resource and wanted to add it here, it's a wonderful website that has been developed to provide the information coaches, teachers, parents, students, administrators, doctors (perhaps) and other providers can benefit from related to brain injury in our young people. Naturally, this will also apply to brain injuries in older people as well. So if you have a brain and it might be injured someday, or you're studying on behalf of your occupations that have to do with family, friends, patients, I strongly suggest you go to this website. read more »
I'm going to set you up with the link for a really wonderful article in Life Extension's online magazine, and also bring parts of it to put underneath in order to show you what the article is 'about' in order to REALLY encourage you to venture there and read the whole thing. ALSO, there are other topics in this forum related to brain injury so please navigate with the links above this topic's title and go 'up' to the forum and see the list. read more »
Brain injuries and diseases, as well as 'normal aging' and 'aging in place' are a primary factor for the majority of the clients I work with as a 'functional advisor and consultant' and 'health navigator', or 'concierge of health information', as I have come to say. I utilize Lumigrate as my primary source of information to guide people, as they might look around and tell others they know who will look around, and essentially find a 'core of information' to follow out to in the links of the experts who provide information. read more »

I thank Sue Ingebretson for her having posted this on facebook. Sue's the author of a wonderful book, "FibroWHYalgia" (and contributor/user of Lumigrate's Forum area) and involved in projects in one of California's state higher education programs looking at the similarities of issues between fibromyalgia and the elderly. We are both followers of Dr Amen's work, though I've only been familiar with him from MANY nites staying up too late re-watching his amazing program on PBS about the brain. read more »
I was most pleased to inadvertently have a change in my schedule and be able to attend a medical education conference today that was of great interest to me: concussion. In the past when it was my privilege to work in the same building and team related to mutual patients with Chris Young, PhD, I learned a tremendous amount about the brain and the long-term effects of head injuries. I've been on other teams in hospital systems with neuropsychology as well, and have a tremendous appreciation for the dimension they bring to looking at cases. read more »
