Omega-3 protocol for TBI

The son of a doc I work with had a traumatic brain injury last year as a result of a truck hitting him head on while he was on his bicycle, they thought he was never going to recover and that he would need adult support to help him dress himself, feed himself for the rest of his life. He is now living in France as a Butterfield bike guide and is going to go back to college this fall. He is totally normal after 6 months. He had the fastest brain recovery the hospital ever saw and the medical team was floored with his progress

This is the regimen his mom (the doc I work with) did for him. Apex Energetics was the brand used (we use that alot here in our clinic)

Brain DHA-2400 mg 4 times a day

Trizomal Glutathione- 5 ml twice a day

Tumero XL Actice – 10 ml twice a day (my personal favorite. I could feel the ‘swelling’ in my brain subside a bit after taking this)

RepairVite GT Plus – 1 scoop a day in 4 oz. of coconut milk

Supermethyl SP (b complex)- 2 capsules a day

Liqua D – 3 drops a day

Strengtia (probiotic) – 2 capsules at bedtime
