Book Description from Goodreads:
For more than 25 years, the renowned Amen Clinics has been the front line of defense against the impact of traumatic brain injury. Concussion Rescue provides the tools for recovery from mild to severe traumatic brain injury. Whether you or someone you love is among the many individuals suffering from a TBI, here is hope and help. Few of us have been untouched by injury, whether on the sports field, in a car accident, falling off a bicycle, or in the course of military service. While the consequences of a concussion are not always immediately apparent, they can range from debilitating to devastating. But there are proven, effective steps for healing.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Kabran Chapek describes in detail the programs and protocols he uses at the Amen Clinics to put patients on a pathway to recovery. For anyone struggling with the effects of concussion, Concussion Rescue guides you through strategies from the cutting edge of brain science. Find out what treatments should be employed within the first few hours, days, or weeks of suffering a concussion. Build a diet and supplement plan that energizes your brain and promotes neurological healing. Learn specific brain exercises and brain games that can alleviate problems with focus and concentration. Discover which specific types of exercise can speed recovery--and how exercise affects the brain in general. Correct sleep problems to detoxify the brain and release essential hormones that aid in healing.


My Review:
Concussion Rescue explains what to do after a person has had a mild to severe concussion. Amen Clinics has studied the best way to deal with brain injuries, and this book explains what they do and what you can do. The author started by explaining the different tests they do on a client, how they would treat problems that are found (from traditional pills to herbs and more alternative methods), and the scientific studies behind why they do these things.

He then talked about how to treat a concussion that has just happened. He talked about supplements and other things to keep in a first aid kit to use when someone has a concussion and what to do in the days and weeks after the concussion occurred. He also talked about things you can do months after a concussion has occurred. He talked about sleep, brain exercises, physical exercise, diet, correcting structural problems and hormone imbalance, and using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

This book was written for both practitioners and for the common person, and it's written so that anyone can understand and apply his advice. He's sharing this information in hopes that concussions will be immediately treated with this latest information. I'd recommend this book to anyone who works in professions where concussions are frequent and to people who are still dealing with concussion symptoms and need help.
