Comments on: Dr. Amen’s Interview on the NFL Dementia Debate http://davepear.com/blog/2009/12/dr-amen-nfl-dementia/ • the unofficial blog for independent football veterans • Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:33:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: George Visger http://davepear.com/blog/2009/12/dr-amen-nfl-dementia/comment-page-1/#comment-21999 George Visger Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:42:02 +0000 http://davepear.com/blog/?p=4782#comment-21999 <img src="http://www.davepear.com/images/GeorgeVisgerSM.jpg" alt="George Visger" /> I recently returned from a 3day evaluation at Dr. Amen's clinic in New Port Beach after several months of battling with The Travelers, the 49'ers Workers Comp carrier, to not only get approval for myself, but for my wife to attend. I've endured 9 VP Shunt brain surgeries and numerous grand mal seizures from injuries I sustained during the '81 season with the SF 49'ers. Dr. Amen's SPECT scans, MicroCog and EEG tests showed many areas of damage to my brain, but the good news is he sends you out the door with a tremendous game plan to take control of your life again. Using a combination of diet change. I'm now on Dr. Barry Sears Zone Diet, which focuses on using Omega 3's from fish oil to repair damaged neurotransmitters, while lowering cholesterol and reducing weight, working on my sleep habits and stress management, I have dropped nearly twenty pounds since mid October. I wasn't grossly overweight to begin with at 6'-5" and 240, but the best benefit is I'm beginning to be able to recall events from the prior days or week, which I haven't been able to do in decades! All of you warriors out there, do yourself and your family a favor and go see Dr. Amen. At this time, he is conducting FREE evaluations for any current or ex-NFL players who can get to his clinic and it could be a life-changing evaluation for you. I would like to personally thank Dr. Amen and Dr. Sears again for helping me get my life back on track; although I know I still have a ways to go, I can see some progress being made already.
