Healthy Brain Spect Scans and New Brain Repair Science; Implications for Soldiers, Prisoners, NFL players, ADHD, Spontaneous violence, PTSD, and more. Not my specialty but is worth posting.

It use to be, under the old guard, medical scientists were taught that the brain and nerves could not be repaired.This is turning out to be untrue, most recently. Brain repair is going to be big science in the next generation of medical investigators.
In addition to this, It use to be, under the old globalist guard, psychologists, and psychiatrists could not take blood tests, or use scan equipment to diagnose anything. They had to look at behavior, and take a stab in the dark and what might be the right drug to make the pharmacy companies money.
No more.
This short talk by Daniel Amen covers his biggest lessons from a lifetime of doing 83,000 brain scans after getting out of the war as a medic. I would note that certain people in the medical community harassed him for doing this scan project. Hmmm….
He says Scientists are now learning that un-diagnosed brain injuries are a major cause of homelessness, drug, alcohol, depression, panic attacks, ADHD, suicide and more . Hurting the brain does not appear to take much. Even high school football can do it.
It made me think of /our guys/ who need the best of care if they do not feel right after coming home from defending the nation, especially if they are found living in the street. The suicide rate for vets is off the chart. Soldiers coming back from war need to be checked for undiagnosed concussion.
In this long project, they have scanned over 500 felons including 90 murders. Surprise was that many of the brains could be rehabilitated and healed.
He notes this could save tremendous amounts of money so when they come home from war, or out of prison, they can have happy families, hold a job, and "pay taxes". People laughed, but, he may be right. It may just be the incentive we need to start getting serious about these kinds of injuries. They are more common than we know. They can happen with a bump on the head. And the psych world never sends patients for a scan and full neurology work up, it seems.
Then again, where would big pharma drug sales be if they did?
You can change people's brains now, and when you do, you change their lives he says.Study on NFL players, showing high levels of damage. NFL said they did not know.
The brain is soft like butter, in a hard skull with sharp bony ridges.
In the second part of the study where they put NFL players on a brain smart program, blood flow, memory, and mood improved. We are not stuck with brain damage anymore. This is great science.
