Simon and I normally do our show on the LAST WEDNESDAY of each month .. However this time, we’re going to kick off the new month & recognize our Independence .. Before and After Brain Injury. I was sick last week, so we deferred to now. Thanks Simon 🙂 Over the evolution of brain injury and the study of pain, in recent years old original assumptions have shifted. It used to be said that the brain didn’t feel pain. Now science is recognizing that the brain has connections to issues of chronic pain, that loop back to specific parts of the brain. One such discovery comes by the name of Central Sensitization, or Central Sensitivity Syndromes. Our brain injuries can and do alter our central nervous system, and cause a convergence of chronic pain conditions, adding to our original BI residuals. We are not Dr’s, only survivors who crack the books and pass on information of interest, that hopefully you find helpful.

After decades as a physician and teacher at Harvard Medical School and elsewhere, renowned academic neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben Alexander, thought he knew how the brain, mind, and consciousness worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE) during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection changed all of that– completely. He has spent the last seven years since his NDE reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. He discovered that by probing deeply into our own consciousness, we transcend the limits of the human brain, and of the physical-material realm. A pioneering scientist and thought leader in consciousness studies, Dr. Alexander has been a guest on Dr. Oz, Oprah, and many other national and international media programs. His books, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife and The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, have collectively spent more than two years atop the New York Times and international bestseller lists.

There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases that affect a wide range of body parts. Tonight we will discuss autoimmune disorders primarily specific to the brain, spinal cord, and psychiatric issues. Most of the disorders involve inflammation, and other common features.

Welcome back to Simon! Aside from our assorted health issues keeping us apart on the air waves for a couple of months – The best laid plans as they say … Our last WED of each month shows have been spotty. Hopefully now we are back in the groove. We will be discussing life interrupting our plans, imparting extreme change, and our ability to accept, take affirming action and adapt to our new life, reframed. No easy task and sadly some are never able. For those who are, they suffer their grief, and come out the other side – How? Life is for the living, how do we define a happy, productive life? We honor our fallen, but never want to leave behind the living still suffering. April 26th (encourage you to check out program On Demand) I interviewed Joe Pisano, pisanoartistry.com – immortalizing heroes to life with his art. Timely anytime, but especially with Memorial Day still lingering in our minds. Joe also discussed news from Dr. Chrisanne Gordon, Founder of resurrectinglives.org.

During those 14 years, he spent 3 years in Iraq and 4 years in Afghanistan. Kevin sustained multiple injuries as a result of his service in the Middle East.
