Turmeric as a supplement for PCS
I was told by my acupuncturist that he believed Turmeric was one of the most powerful supplements one can take for better health. I did a lot of research and found numerous articles and studies about it. Its effects are in so many areas, including properties for anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, natural pain killer, shown to help kill cancerous cells (especially in bowel cancer), aids in metabolism and fat reduction, helps in depression, slows alzheimers progression, helps mental functioning, natural liver detoxifier, helps ease osteoarthritis, and many more. I started taking turmeric a few months ago and really feel a huge difference in my body...less joint discomfort after strenuous workouts, havent gotten sick, hair is shinier and fuller, my skin looks healthier, and i just feel healthier.
This link is for an article about its possible help in concussions.

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.
