I cut out grains (mostly wheat) and began eating more fresh vegetables and fruit and lost over 20 pounds.

My understanding of vitamin therapy/rehab for brain injury is that it gives the injured brain a boost to help it work more efficiently. I believe that the fruit and veggies helps with that as well, and in fact my whole body is improved since changing my diet.

To summarize, the vitamin super charge combined with a diet change and good sleep has helped TREMENDOUSLY. I am working in a daily exercise routine as well which should add to the benefits along with meditation.

Vitamin regimen, a healthy diet, exercise and sleep.

I think that determining the cause is certainly useful, and helpful, but I'm good with whatever works. The bottom line is that the fog has gone because I'm getting a better quality sleep, have a greatly improved diet and the vitamin boost is great. My new body is a bonus!

It's funny though. The FDA came out and said supplements neither cure nor aid a head injury. I think you got better sleep because you were healing. In all my prior brain injuries I did nothing supportive and got better. and feeding all the nutrients in the world to a severely damaged brain injury patient probably wouldn't make much of a difference. I think it makes us feel to good to think we have some control. I have a closet full of supplements from seven years and never felt a difference.
