AHS17

There are 2.5 million new traumatic brain injuries (TBI) diagnosed every year in the U.S. That is the staggering reality of the current epidemic of brain injury. That does not include injuries that go undiagnosed and unreported. Depending on severity, recovery from TBI can take from a few days to years (and for some, never). What if recovery from TBI could be greatly enhanced and assisted by ancestral practices? Biome depletion, low sun exposure, inferior intake of DHA, a lack of exposure to bacteria and parasites and high intake of sugar all have consequences to the brain. The average modern health profile, rife with modern disease, could be making TBI symptoms more pronounced and harder to recover from. This session will explore how TBI recovery could be treated through an ancestral approach. Current research and anecdotal evidence will be shared.
