Conventional wisdom is leading you down the garden path. The problem with today’s conventional wisdom is that you may not question it. If it comes from medical authorities, it must be good advice. They also like to talk about evidence-based medicine. Unfortunately for you, that’s not necessarily true and here are some examples why it’s not true.

Why all the confusion?
Its their “one-size-fits-all mentality”.
For concussions, neurologists admit that each concussion is different. Ok, good start. But the diagnosis is still a concussion, which doesn’t tell you anything about WHY it happened. It’s the WHY that differentiates everyone.
Then they go and recommend rest for everyone. And that’s pretty much it!
Conventional wisdom tell you that concussions take a long time to heal. They say up to one year. Some even say 18 months. They tell you that up to 20% don’t heal.
Statistics are useless. Why waste time, energy and resources researching things that don’t help you!
We have a science called neuroplasticity or brain plasticity that they’ve been working on which is useful, BUT they don’t apply it! Why not? Because their medical paradigm gives them a HUGE blind spot. They see potential, but they don’t have the TOOLS or the understanding to apply all that wonderful research.
Look, I’m an applied scientist – that’s what an engineer is. I’m a trained professional engineer and I’m also a trained Doctor of Chinese Medicine. I am applying the sciences of both worlds. Neuroplasticity and the psychology from Chinese Medicine dovetail perfectly with each other. Together these two seemingly unconnected bodies of science do connect, because I see where the dots are connected. How it actually works is repeated over and over again in each of my books.
You cannot separate your psychology from your physiology.
You can’t escape the mind-body connection. What you think about the most, and how those thoughts make you feel, will always affect your body. Good. Bad. (if you want to judge it!) This is a universal truth. And provable. Conventional wisdom is not wisdom. Just speculation. Any time you hear a contradiction you know that someone has made an incorrect assumption and sometimes it’s dangerous to your sense of well being.

And it literally is millions! The CDC says between 1.6 and 3.8 million Americans suffer from concussions every year and these are only emergency room statistics. They think these numbers of CONSERVATIVE because a lot of people don’t seek medical attention. I also think a lot of people aren’t aware of a head injury.
The shocking news I found out is that there is NO evidence that total complete cognitive and physical rest works for concussion. Your doctors, including most neurologists are WRONG! No clinical study has shown effectiveness. In fact the research, for both children and adults have shown too much rest actually makes things worse!
So tired of or skeptical of this harmful advice? Let’s do something about it. My crowdfunding campaign is a pilot research project for online brain training specifically designed for Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS). I never believed that a do-nothing approach was remotely a good idea and now there’s proof. NOW let’s actually create comprehensive treatment to give kids, teenagers and adults and their parents, coaches, etc hope and tools to reclaim their lives!
Let’s give Hope For Millions With Brain Injury. Donate today. Share with your friends! Be part of a movement for healing not merely management of Post Concussion Syndrome!
