An excerpt about brain injury recovery from the Amen Clinic blog: http://70.32.73.82/blog/5758/there-is-help-for-these-battered-athletes/ is encouraging. “The good news is the brains of contact-sport players and soldiers can be rehabilitated. We have conducted three clinical studies with 116 active and former players from the National Football League here at the Amen Clinics and each study shows that it’s not only possible, it’s likely, that with a brain-directed health protocol, significant improvement can be experienced in decision-making, reasoning, depression, mood and memory.”
