Abstract:

Sub­ject reports a series of three head injuries span­ning 18 months, from falls and a car acci­dent result­ed in pro­gres­sive com­pro­mise in qual­i­ty of life and dis­abling dis­abil­i­ty.  Neu­ro­log­i­cal pan­els before first ses­sion, after first ses­sion, and after two ses­sions at day 7, illus­trate improve­ment of brain func­tion.  CNS scores improved from 1 to 7 above aver­age scores at sev­en days after the ini­tial ses­sion with two ses­sions.   At day 7 after first ses­sion, sub­ject report­ed restored abil­i­ty to work, and dream pat­terns to before the inci­dents.  Sub­ject report­ed improve­ments ful­ly per­sist at 30 months.

Pro­to­col con­sist­ed of Whole Body Flush, and 15 min­utes of PEMF to the head on day 1, and day 7 for a total of 1 hour total.

Therapy Model

The ther­a­py mod­el pre­sumes that resid­ual con­cus­sion symp­toms like a brain bruise.  Regions of the brain remain at low-ener­gy until cir­cu­la­tion is restored.  The low-ener­gy like­ly results from cap­il­lary inflam­ma­tion — ini­tial­ly trig­gered by the injury caus­ing a bruise.  Since blood sup­ply is con­strict­ed, the oxy­gen required to reverse the inflam­ma­tion can­not reach the tis­sue.  This is why con­cus­sion symp­toms linger for years as inhib­it­ed neu­ro­log­i­cal per­for­mance.

Ther­a­py con­sist­ed of a stan­dard LiveO2-AC pro­to­col, 7 min­utes of rich oxy­gen, fol­lowed by about 2 min­utes of high alti­tude, fol­lowed by for 30 sec­ond high alti­tude sprints, and then recov­ery on oxy­gen.  We fol­lowed this with about 20 min­utes of PEMF ther­a­py to the mid-sides of the head and the back of the head.

The ther­a­py mod­el was to increase pulse pres­sure and trig­ger dila­tion of the vas­cu­lar sys­tem by hav­ing her exer­cise at sim­u­lat­ed high alti­tude for two min­utes.  Next she switched to a very rich oxy­gen mix­ture while her body was adapt­ed to high alti­tude exer­tion.  The alti­tude to oxy­gen switch­es present a very ele­vat­ed oxy­gen burst exploit­ing res­pi­ra­to­ry tur­bu­lence to increase oxy­gen sat­u­ra­tion in the blood plas­ma.  When this lev­el exceeds 12 cc/L, the anti-inflam­ma­to­ry effect is imme­di­ate.

In this case, each of Jil­l’s 3 con­cus­sions dam­aged regions of the brain respon­si­ble for var­i­ous func­tions indi­cat­ed by the neu­ro­log­i­cal tests.

Psy­cho-motor per­for­mance — like­ly from the back of he head & var­i­ous cog­ni­tive func­tions cor­re­spond­ing to the mid-sides and top.  Her exem­plary rea­son­ing skills — remained intact, so she prob­a­bly nev­er bruised the front part of the brain.

Improved pro­to­col to tar­get brain-blood flow as the BrainO2 pro­to­col.

Day 7 — Patient Report & Re-test neurological panel

The 7‑day neu­ro­log­i­cal test showed last week’s results stuck — and increased slight­ly.

The sec­ond ses­sion appeared fur­thered recov­ery with appar­ent “on-switch” of brain func­tion dur­ing the fol­low-up inter­view.

This test was con­duct­ed before a repeat of the train­ing to deter­mine the dura­bil­i­ty of the first train­ing ses­sion.

Day 7 Neu­ro­log­i­cal Before 2nd train­ing.

Note: Ver­bal mem­o­ry low score is like­ly reflects improve­ment in ver­bal mem­o­ry.  Mem­o­ry tests are arti­fi­cial­ly low when sub­ject is able to remem­ber words from a pri­or test.

Durability of Results

The nat­ur­al ques­tion is “How long will it last?”.  The like­ly answer is until she gets anoth­er con­cus­sion.  The ther­a­py mod­el was designed to tar­get the brain.  In this case, use of 2 min­utes of high alti­tude air, cre­at­ed mild hypox­ic stress to trig­ger vasodi­la­tion.  Then the sprints to increase res­pi­ra­to­ry tur­bu­lence, and then rapid switch­es to high oxy­gen, served to deliv­er high pres­sure oxy­genat­ed plas­ma to turn off Arden­ne’s vas­cu­lar inflam­ma­tion.

The results below show sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments in cog­ni­tive func­tion.  Her video nar­ra­tive — describ­ing her before ther­a­py men­tal func­tion sig­nif­i­cant­ly dimin­ished is very con­sis­tent with the test results.  Note how she moved from severe­ly defi­cient — 1% per­centile — to above aver­age in all of the defi­cient cat­e­gories.

It seems like­ly that this func­tion­al restora­tion is like­ly to sub­stan­tial­ly restore her pre-con­cus­sion men­tal per­for­mance with­in a few ses­sions.
