There is an important point on page 2 of the above article. It says:

Good quality fats and protein are very important.
Those of us who have avoided eating fats all our lives are having greater brain degeneration late in life.
This is because we have been missing the fats needed to make neurotransmitters, cell membranes (the brain of each cell) and hormones.
Whether or not you are afraid of fats, here are some suggestions.
Eat the organic chicken with the skin
and eat duck and chicken eggs including the yolk.
Supplement your foods with cold-water fish oil and coconut oil from the best sources.
Eat 4 teaspoons of coconut oil/day, more if you can, to avoid/cure dementia (see Dr. Mary Newport’s article)

Air Travel Tips
 
Here is an excellent article about air travel. I contributed my tips from experience traveling frequently during the early stages of my recovery to this article. The part about seating that reduces visual stimulation is of paramount importance to me.

More on using hormones to heal brain injury.

Concussion can cause hypopituitarism, neuroendocrine dysfunction, growth hormone deficiency, other hormone deficiency and insufficiency and other endocrine related imbalances that can cause many symptoms that are associated with "brain injury" but are actually caused by endocrine system dysfunction that was caused by the brain injury. It can be treated and with treatment the symptoms will improve or be completely eradicated.

Didn't see this listed. Includes a series of videos on TBI basics, brain injury causes and effects, other acquired brain injury, and practical advice for coping.

Here's scientific evidence why everyone needs sleep to heal.

While you sleep, your brain is able to clean itself out of toxins and other things that it needs to.

I speculate that there are more things it needs to clean out after a concussion, which may be why people recovering from a concussion are so tired! And why it's such a good idea to rest when your body tells you that you need to.
