Beiber Doinks Head and Gets Concussion

I just read the Yahoo Page that Justin Beiber, my daughters LOVE him, ran into a glass wall and got a concussion.   Only feeling slightly dizzy he sang his last song to his performance and then went backstage and passed out.

Well, Mr. Beiber, according to our Neuropsychologist today, you would be better off having a major head injury with bleeding to the brain.  Sounds crazy?  Well, that's what I thought hearing those words coming out of his mouth.  According to Dr. So and So there is more Medical Diagnosis and help when your brain bleeds.

It is when you only have Concussions to the Brain are the Medical Doctors at a loss for advise to the injured.  We were also told that only 5% of people who have had serious head injuries (without the bleeding of the brain) have continuing confusion, frustration, depression, and anger outbursts.

I say BULLSHIT to that. 

I also say thank GOD for Dr. Daniel Amen, who also Dr. So and So said was controversial.  Why is Dr. Amen, his short bio follows via Amazon...

Dr. Amen is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost experts on applying brain imaging science to clinical psychiatric practice. He is a board certified child and adult psychiatrist and a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He is the medical director of Amen Clinics, Inc. in Newport Beach and Fairfield, California, Bellevue, Washington, and Reston, Virginia. Amen Clinics have the world's largest database of functional brain scans relating, totaling more than 60,000 scans. The clinics have seen patients from 90 countries.




Dr. Amen is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. He has presented his work around the world. He is widely regarded as a gifted teacher, taking complex concepts in neuropsychiatry and imaging and making them easily accessible to other professionals.



Dr. Amen is the lead researcher on the world's largest brain imaging/brain rehabilitation study on professional football players, which not only demonstrated significant brain damage in a high percentage of retired players, but also the possibility for rehabilitation in many with the principles that underlie his work.

Dr. Amen is the author of 40 professional articles, the co-author of the Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry's chapter on Functional Imaging in Clinical Practice, 28 books, including three New York Times bestsellers: Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, Magnificent Mind At Any Age, and Change Your Brain, Change Your Body. He is also the author of Healing ADD, Making A Good Brain Great, Healing the Hardware of the Soul, and co-author of Unchain Your Brain, Healing Anxiety and Depression and Preventing Alzheimer's.

So then why is Dr. Amen controversial?  Well, in my opinion it is because he talks about therapy and approaches to head injuries giving his patients alternatives other the almighty PRESCRIPTION DRUGS that are ruling America.  Yes, he talks about Amino Acids such as Tyrosine, Tryptophan, 5 HTP, and others that have worked miraculous in our own family!!  And I mean miracles. 

Had we trusted the AMA to fix our problems at the time our one daughter would be heavily medicated with some anti-psychotic drug.  Instead for some reason a short time on 5 HTP made the world of difference.  Our other daughter was told she had Seizure Disorder and the Doctor pretty much said she better take this prescribed medicine or she will get worse and that basically it would be our fault.  Well, I knew her Vitamin D level was only a 3 with 30 to 80 being the norm so I wanted to hold out.  She started taking 50,000 units a week but we really didn't see the absence seizures stop until she had started on Taurine, another Amino Acid that has been known to help kids with Absence Seizures.

So, Dr. Amen tells the truth, he gives hope, and he is giving people other options than pouring money into the Drug Companies of the USA which seem to have taken over.  Pharmaceuticals are a multi billion dollar industry. 

Word of advice, Justin Beiber, if you have any changes in personality, problems focusing or concentrating, feelings of despair, please seek a good Neurologist.  Actually just head to one of Amen's Clinics because after 20 plus years of being head injured we quite frankly think that most Neurologists don't have a CLUE.  They should all beat their heads against a wall first before giving STUPID and USELESS ADVICE when basically they don't know their ASS from a HOLE in the WALL when it comes to Brain Injuries.

Thanks for listening <3
