My name is Joey Powers and I'm 18 years old and live in Northwest Iowa. Anyone suffering from PCS or any TBI please read all this and look into this information from the links I provide. I would not be able to live without it. Literally gave me my life back and more.

I suffered 2 concussions within the time span of a month and have had terrible PCS symptoms ever since. This concurrence of incidents happened during the month of November of 2013. I have been doing extensive research trying to find avenues of treatment because I refused to live like this. I will give you a quick overview of symptoms I had to deal with. Luckily I stumbled upon the research of man named Dr. Marty Hinz that has made one of the most profound discoveries in Neuroscience.

Symptoms: OCD, Depression, Anxiety, Brain Fog (Insane), Extremely Tired 24/7, Head felt full all the time, extremely light sensitive, speech was altered, short term memory issues mainly from being in such a haze, would get extremely overwhelmed with too much sensory stimulation, and many more.

I had to drop out of college and suffered with these issues for nearly 6 months without any sign of improvement. I was considering putting an end to the madness.

Then through a Dr. I started consulting with over the phone from California came a miracle. A man by the name of Marty Hinz discovered how to optimize the use of Amino Acids to re-calibrate the functionality of the brain's neurons to be able to fire at the correct rate even if they are damaged.

Please, I beg of all of you to check this out. No one deserves to go through this torment. It is inhumane and even more difficult to handle when no one believes anything you say. I had to deal with every single person around me, my family, doctors, and all my friends just thinking I was being a *****. I was alone and desolated. The only person that was by my side was my Mom. Bless her soul because without her, I'm probably no longer here.

Here are the links and PLEASE be optimistic. I know how you have probably given up on the possibility of getting better and don't want to have your hopes crushed again, but I beg of all of you to just look into it. It will save your life and allow you to help others get better as well from this terrible occurrence.

Link with info, look into all the links on both sides of the page, please be open minded, what do you have to lose?

joe,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. The work of Dr Minz is not earth shattering. He is a self promoter of his own patented concoction. Many of us have used amino acids for a long time. I take L-Tryptophan daily. He does not elaborate about the full range of amino acids in his concoction. If you have any more information, please post it.

I'm glad you're feeling better, but I'm confused. Can you please tell me more about what your treatment plan entailed? Thanks.

In which way is it not earth shattering? Amino acids have been known to be precursors to the brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine yes, but the fact that he found the way to optimize the amount to fit the needs of each individual is what is astounding and actually produces results.

*admin edit*

Doing a baseline amino acid test and expecting results without continuously optimizing it will certainly lead to no beneficial results. But he found the correct way to measure the levels in the urine that can be directly linked back to the levels in the brain allowing for correct adjustments to be made to the dosing of the amino acids.

Have you really dug into the research he has done? My grandpa who has Dementia has had astounding results with memory and cognitive functionality returning and you are simply going to blow it off as placebo based on the fact of buying amino acids from a nutrition store OTC and expecting the same life altering results without doing the proper testing and going through someone trained in the practice?

*admin edit*

Also using L-tryptophan does NOT get diverted into the formulation of Serotonin in the brain. The simple fact that you state you take such a supplement to me instantly signifies that you don't have the proper knowledge in this protocol.*Admin edit*I am tired of*admin edit*everyone simply disregarding such astounding work without really looking into the functionality of it.

To be able to synthesize Serotonin in the brain you must take 5 HTP NOT L-tryptophan. L-Tryptophan is the precursor to 5 HTP but taking that supplement will not allow it to cross the Blood Brain Barrier, which will then not allow the 5 HTP to be synthesized into Serotonin to be used by the part of the brain that is not working efficiently.

*admin edit*. This protocol works, I am living proof. Marty Hinz's work is astounding and within time people will truly realize the prevalence of what he has discovered and the reach that it will impact.

Any further questions or arguments on the protocol, i'd be happy to answer. I'm not an expert certainly, but I have been looking extensively into the functionality of the protocol and how things function.

*admin edit*

L-Tryptophan is properly used by the body where 5-HTP can overdose the brain. *admin edit*

Look up NeuroScience and Pharmasan Labs. They have been pushing these issues for years.

You are one person who may have benefited from Hinz's concoction. That is called anecdotal evidence. Not all have the same problem.

If Hinz's work is so astounding, why isn't it making big waves in the dementia and TBI community ?

And, Yes, L-Tryptophan makes it to the brain, whether as L-Tryptophan or as 5-HTP. My brain sees a response to taking L-Tryptophan within 30 minutes.

How about telling us more about your experience with concussions ? You list the standard laundry list of symptoms. Your time frame for recovery is parallel to many who see a spontaneous recovery. For some, they hit a point where it is like a switch was flicked and their symptoms dissipate within a short period of time.

Please tell us more if you can without preaching Dr Hinz.

*admin edit*

But with Neuroscience and Pharmasan Labs, they only run a baseline test and then give you Amino Acids based on one test rather than doing the entire process that is what is required to get the correct dosing. Everyone is different with the dosing in Amino Acids but the levels that will work relieve symptoms that comes out in the urine will be in the range needed for symptom alleviation.

*admin edit*

Why not give it a shot? The only other thing you can resort to it just barely getting by with pharmaceuticals that eventually quick working.

I would love to be able to help anyone that is interested in getting better. It is something no one should endure.

I am going to intervene here and remind old and new members that flame posting or "calling out" negatively is not allowed here.

Please post respectfully to one another and if you disagree, do so agreeably!

No one here has to prove their age or any other credentials. Just post within the guidelines and be respectful of others.
