Just saw another thing about Turmeric and Curcumin!! Oddly enough, I just got a pamphlet in the mail for a seminar for Health Care professionals on "Understanding Fatigue. Focus on Stress, Habits, and the Brain," given by a doctor who has extensive studying on fatigue in brain injuries. I obviously get a lot of things like this in the mail since i am a nurse.
Its course objective is on these 6 categories....Stress-related fatigue: the mind-body connection. Hormone-Related Fatigue. Diet, Drugs, and Herbs. THe inflammation-Fatigue- Mood Connection. Sleep Disorders. and Habits to Increase Energy.
In the Inlfammtion-Fatigue-Mood Connection it lists under it a few bullet points, but one is "anti-inflammatory foods and drugs" and it lists....omega 3s, vegetables and fruit, anti-inflammatory spice (eg, garlic, turmeric, curcumin), green tea.....etc
Isnt that interesting how its written right in the course description. Looks like an amazing seminar....and although i am doing really well and no longer suffering from PCS symptoms, I'm thinking of attending so I can learn more and be able to help other patients I come across.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
