Effects of Concussions Later in Life

The reports about frequent concussions in sports, here in Canada especially in Hockey really upset me. They are taken much too lightly.  When an athlete is drowsy from a concussion he needs to rest for a few weeks. He should in my opinion never be fixed with a medication to get back on the ice. These young men have no idea what might become of them when they are 30 years older in regard to thinking, dementia, Alzheimers or Parkinson’s.

Elizabeth Quinn writes in her article ‘Serious Effects of Mild Concussions’: “Concussions are traumatic head injuries that occur from both mild and severe blows to the head. Some head injuries may appear to be mild but research is finding that concussions can have serious, long-term effects. Repeat head injuries or cumulative concussions, can have long-term implications.”

Imagine what happens to a brain when an athlete is sent back on the ice after being ‘fixed up’ with something … and this happens not only once but several times.

The hockey player Derek Boogaard would probably still be alive when he would have known the implications of how he handled his sports injuries. We only have to take pain killers when something has not healed properly.

Years ago I had a young client who played Rugby. I found energy blockages in certain areas and asked him how school goes and he replied that his attention span was shorter and his thinking not as alert. My advice to him was (because he moved to Vancouver) to see at least once a year a holistic therapist who could balance the impeded Chi-flow in his brain.

A few monts ago I had the idea to help hockey players with Reconnective Healing, but my friend asked “how high is your liability insurance?” I had never thought of that, but of course it is not high enough and so I let go of that idea.

This form of healing is even better than the one I describe under Brain-Rejuvenator Head-Neck-Shoulder-Massage.

Fortunately the body is able to heal  itself when it is given the right conditions, in case of concussions it means rest and also vitamin rich fresh organic nutrition.

Often there was just too much damage and the body needs help. In my opinion a holistic health practitioner can offer true help, medication is often only camouflaging the problem.
