I am so in awe of you, ALG, for sharing your personal story like this. It gives all of us hope that you can overcome anything if you have the right intentions and don’t give into conventional therapies as your only modality for healing. What else did you do? I ask because my mother suffered something somewhat similar and she has never been the same since her fall ten years ago. Thanks for all you do and thanks for who you are:)

It’s not just the obvious head injuries that cause long-term brain injuries. I’ve been rear-ended more times than I like to think about. My doctors and chiropractors tell me many of these accidents most likely led to at least mild to medium concussions.

Thanks Ann Louise for sharing. I happen to be on vacation in Sedona Arizona at a spa that provides a service know as bio-aquatic cranial sacral. A wonderful treatment for spirit and body. This therapy is also used on anyone with emotinal, spinal cord or brain injuries along with many of the neural muscular diseases of today. There is a treatment center in the Bahamas that uses this along with dolphins to treat patients. The water allows for the soul/spirit to do healing work. The dolphins actually will go directly to the injured area. Hooray for natural treatments.

One other thing to consider in any injury- homeopathic Arnica Montana. It can help to prevent going into shock as well as the bruising, swelling, tenderness, etc. It is also known to help even long after the injury. Most health food stores carry it and it’s good to have some on hand. Mishaps like falling down stairs or slipping on the ice can happen to anyone, and Arnica can help. Also great to have on hand if you have small children. Thanks for sharing your story, Dr. Ann Louise!

My ex husband was a professional hockey player. He had at least three concussions during his career, which was shortened by his last head injury. I never thought about it until very recently, when someone asked me if I think his behaviour ever changed because of concussions. Upon looking back, I DO think that he changed afterward, becoming anxious, moody and exhibiting signs of depression. And he had been a very ‘happy go lucky’ guy before that. We ended up divorcing because of his severe alcohol problem (25yrs ago).
I don’t know what he is like now, but I did nickname him “Cement Head” as he seemed to be quite dense. ( Of course, I may be prejudiced)
Who knows how much of his problem was caused by the Head Injuries he acquired? Too late now,, but good that these things are being addressed.
PS If you love your kids, DO NOT let them be professional athletes!!!

Hi Dr AnnLouise! I’m a massage therapist specializing in NIC cranial sacral and EEG neurofeedback. My professional suggestion to help you continue in balancing your health is that you receive EEG neurofeedback therapy. The work is amazing! Everyone will benefit from the treatments, because we all have had injury’s or born with “stuff “( autism, ADD, ADHD, Bi-polar etc). Another step towards healing ! Thanks for your informative e-mails. Peace & smiles <3 Lydia

Thank you Dr. Ann Louise for this valuable information. I also suffered a severe concussion when I was much younger and it took many years for me to feel better. My son loves to snow board and skate. He suffered 3 concussions in a year and a half. The doctors did not treat it and only advised us to keep watch looking for more severe symptoms to develop. My youngest son plays football. This is a great reminder that we must be careful with head injuries.

Oh my goodness- what an ordeal! I had no idea, and I’m so thankful that you came out of that alright and shared your story with us.
I have experienced head trauma while on the ski hill, and it seems inconsequential in the moment, but when you find yourself at the lodge and don’t remember how you got there, it’s a good indicator that something is wrong!
Since then I have experienced week long bouts of depression occasionally. It really makes sense that the head trauma is related to my mood.
I already take Ultra H3, I will try the tryptophan and GABA.
Again, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this with us. I actually was in an accident when I was 19. I was hit from behind in my automobile and experienced bad whip lash. Today I am 61 and off and on over the years I battle with a stiff neck and muscle spasms! Other than that I am very healthy. I too take Ultra H-3 everyday and Uni Key’s Earthing products have been a life saver for me. I like using the wrist band when my neck acts up, heals it in 2-3 days.
