Mikey,

The problem with processed soy is that it almost always contains "processed free glutamic acid" that is bad for the brain, especially an injured brain.

Mae-7,

Even if you do not hit your head to the mat, you can still cause enough G Force to cause cumulative damage to your brain. It is called subconcussive impact. Whiplash forces usually include sub-concussive impacts to the brain. The biggest problem with sub-concussive impacts are that they are rarely recognized and as such, are allowed to accumulate to the point where the brain suffers serious damage.

A single sub-concussive impact per training session with a few days between sessions may be acceptable to a resilient brain. Once a brain has suffered a concussion, this resiliency is usually lost.

Download, print out and read the TBI Survivor Guide at www.tbiguide.com It will give you an idea of what your symptoms truly are.

Think seriously before you subject your brain to more jolts even if there is no contact involved. The fact that you recognize them as jolts means you at least have a recognition of the forces involved.

My best to you.
