This QB suffered a head injury and had ARNICA symptoms.
Linked blow is a YT video done by an MD reviewing a football injury. You'll see that the head injury occurs during the play, the QB lies motionless for a moment, medics stabilize and evaluate him, and within 6 minutes he's back on the field in an obviously compromised state. This is an important subject because CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) is caused by concussions, and exacerbated by incomplete recovery. CTE can continue long after the initial injury and lead to disability and dementia. ARNICA is quite possibly the most common medicine indicated for these cases.
- Classical ARNICA symptoms:
- Blunt Force Trauma: the kind that could cause a bruise: damage to capillaries.
- Blunt force trauma to the head with concussion. Picture the "bruise" happening within the brain, under the skull.
- ARNICA progression: subject is stunned; subject is "standoffish"; "I'm fine, don't touch me." You can see when he returns for the next play that a teammate tries to touch him and he reflexively pushes them away. He says he's fine, but he's not and his teammate can see it. In the long run he could continue to be oversensitive to touch.
- What to expect if not recovered: Lack of spacial awareness. You will see a tendency to accident-prone movements. They might tend to bump their head on things more. Chronic ARNICA patients will develop a kind of clastrophobia, even. They might be triggered by tight traffic on the highway, tight spaces, close contact, and even gentle caresses. If it progesses further they might even complain the bed is too hard. They might develop bruises easily.
In my practice I use BrainGuage to assess function. I use homeopathy like Arnica when indicated. H2 gas inhalations. ICR-PEMF Seqex for advanced regeneraton. Amino acids and herbal medicines with diet to put the body/brain in a healing (ketogenic) state.
While it is best to give the medicine as early as possible, it's never too late. I once had a patient who needed ARNICA for CTE...64 years after the fact! He was 80y.o. and had suffered a head injury from exploded shell during WWII. He presented complaining the bed was too hard, and he had such weak capillaries that his palms were purple. He had a bandage on his head, and when I asked about it they said he's always bumping his had on things. So, classical arnica case: traumatic head injury; lack of spacial awareness; bruising easily, sensitive to touch.
