Brain Injuries: the Signature Injury of our Post 9/11 Wars

Brain injuries are a hell like no other. In the “old days”--someone with a head injury would be described as “just not being right in the head” after that. They say that brain injuries are the the "signature wound of this war" and we have “little understanding of its long-term consequences.“
That was before we had so many chemical concoctions to alter our biochemistry and all the many possible diagnoses. Chemical treatment of symptoms became standard operating procedure of a profession we all still believe is committed to our health. Now we medicate people to control the symptoms rather than figuring out how to fix what went wrong. Medicating people for things that can be fixed with our own human abilities is a scary kind of Science. Thank goodness it’s not the only kind of Science.

I CAME BACK from brain injuries and BLINDNESS-- THEY said were "permanent!" THEY said I'd never get better again!

And if I had to go with the kind of treatment our veterans and soldiers are getting--I'd still be blind, sick, with a brain that wasn't working. We need to talk about FIXING brain injuries--not managing them!

Z to DC: My response to WhiteHouse request for videos on Health Care Reform

I got an e-mail request from our Vice-President last week--maybe you got one too! Though I've been madly busy with my own work getting the Art of Wellness to you and moving my studio from LA to Helicon during the wildfires!--I took the time to make this response.

Z's reaching out to Brain-Injured Vet's: I KNOW about being told you'll be disabled "forever" and that you CAN heal an injured brain! I'm living PROOF.

Please share this blog with any vet's, their families, and friends--at least once a week, I'll be posting something new about BrainWorks!

Stay POSITIVE in these challenging times and we'll all get through them!

SCIENCE now has proof that positivity affects everything--including your immune system.

Remember: nothing's impossible when you believe!
Otherwise--I'd still be BLIND!

Be happy, be healthy, be WELL
