We Beat Harvard in Full Recovery
of Traumatic Brain Injury
---- By Bin Yang, CEO
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), also called Severe Brain injury (SBI), can be very torturing and
painful. You still remember your dream. However, you may never be there, for your freedom
and opportunities are taken away internally, which is the worst pain deep in our soul. Part
of the reason is that the injury is very hard to recover from. Why?
The very first reason is you-- your mind does not work well. The things that have worked
for you in the past now stop working or work in funny ways. You have more problems than
you can handle, for example issues in finance, career and family, which can stress you
enormously. Studies have shown that stress can further worsen your injured mind, health
and emotions. Despite of all these things, you have not given up. That's why you are reading
this article. In addition to your difficulties, What are the other obstacles?
1. Not everyone around you, including your doctors and family, knows enough about
Traumatic Brain Injury. They usually do not look at life from your point of view, either.
For example, some doctors would tell you that it is great for you to remember a 6-digit
number. However, this is not great if you could remember over 200 digits at one time.
Different brain capacities can mean different jobs and different lives. You are often told
that 2 years is the cutoff time to your recovery. This is not true.
2. There are not many treatment options out there for Traumatic Brain Injury. The main
goal of current treatments is to keep your heart beating, make sure you have no fall and
no choke. Speech therapy is not meant to help to regain your lecturing capacity.
Physical therapy is not meant to enable you to run. Social service and psychological
support mainly let you express your fear and struggle, and then tell you to be patient or
even accept your “new life.” Your doctors often knock your knees and elbows (reflex
check) during your clinical visits. In fact, there are more effective treatments.
3. The recovery process can be highly stressful and depressingly slow. Stress caused
from the injury and the unexpected life can make your injured mind even worse.
However, a clear mind is the key to your recovery. Stress can also harm your health
and emotions. The usual relaxation methods like deep breathing, brisk walking, and
breaks are not enough.
Sometimes, the recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury means to re-learn EVERYTHING.
In one particular case, a guy got very frustrated with the re-learning process. He dialed
911 as a way of stress management, and sometimes yelped to the doctors and nurses
at the emergency room (ER). I understood his behavior, and went to talk to him about
his progress and other’s success. According to some ER nurses I later spoke with,
that ER visit was his shortest and most pleasant one since he understood the progress
better and was encouraged.
4. Another drawback is bias against brain injury victims. Some people think that you are
done once you have a Traumatic Brain Injury, that you should be grateful for being alive.
Nice people help you “live” “your new life.” Mean ones simply take away your
opportunities, then tell you something else. They don't care about your time, your money or your life. We need to be able to distinguish the two groups.
A mother always accompanied her son to the clinic, and usually answered all questions
for him. The son had partial brain removal after injury and could not speak well. The
only way the son could speak better is to let him take every opportunity to practice. It
did take me more time to finish his clinic work. I also assigned him to read loud at home.
His speech improved after each visit, and he also became more active.
5. The worst drawback can come from your attorneys or even your family. To some people,
your injury is a good moneymaker. The more you “remain injured,” the more they can
make. Even when you fully recover, they may still try to make you believe that you are
totally disabled.
This happened to a physician who suffered from Traumatic Brain Injury. The doctor has
recovered with a normal MRI test, and done excellent in clinical practice. However, her
attorneys still wanted her to claim 100 percent of cognitive disability! Everyone knows
that no doctor can exist a day without sound cognitive ability. Not mention this doctor
who has done excellent in clinical practice. It is just like saying a marathon runner can
run with fractured legs – impossible!
This group is usually very persuasive. Unless you know enough, you won't be able to
break their "power."
6. Some professionals only help you get to a certain level, and then stop or give you advices
to keep you at the same level. At times like these, you need to be able to recognize
their underlying motivation, and move on to other resources.
With all the above internal and external obstacles, how can it be easy to recover from
Traumatic Brain Injury? However, recovery is not impossible. We have beaten Harvard in
full recovery of Traumatic Brain Injury, including the poor impulse control.
Victims can learn to recover fast, which is why we offer Custom Recovery Program that teaches
you the knowledge, skills, lessons as well as patent-pending technology to speed up your
recovery process, and get you back to work and life fast. Your family can benefit from the
training as well. In just a few days, this program can give you the tools to work with yourself,
your doctors and other resources efficiently.
In this world, nothing is worth more than the complete you. You, your dream, and your freedom
are priceless. Worker’s compensation or others can never give you enough. You can make
more even you only recover partially. Do not give up!
