I was pleased to contribute a chapter on Spinal Concussion Syndrome to this important book.

If you, or someone you love, have had a concussion, whiplash or brain injury - this book is for you.

Dr. Larry Komer and Joan Chandler Komer offer new hope to those with brain injuries. Millions of people of all ages experience concussions. Many others have a more serious event known as a traumatic brain injury. Battlefield injuries often include concussions or a TBI. These brain injuries can lead to a complex condition known as PTSD that can alter a person’s life, family and community. PTSD is a serious condition that often is difficult to treat. 73% of sufferers of PTSD also have TBI. Conventional diagnosis and treatment of these conditions often include, “I am sorry. There is nothing more we can do.” It is a prescription for despair and hopelessness.

This book will help you explore what concussions, TBI and PTSD are. This will be helpful for the injured person, their family, and for healthcare professionals. Dr. Komer shares his insights from the successful treatment of many patients at The Komer Brain Institute. Self-esteem coach and educator Joan Chandler adds her valuable perspectives on how to cope with disappointments and loss often associated with injuries. Together, they share a powerful message of hope for the treatment of concussions, TBI, and PTSD.

We are pleased to note that the Foreword of this book is by the beloved Jack Canfield, co-author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller’s List, “Chicken Soup for the Soul.”

“New Hope for Concussions, TBI and PTSD.” includes chapters contributed by: William S. Cook, Jr., M.D., who is a board-certified psychiatrist. Dr. Blair Lamb, MD, FCFP, a physician, who practices in the field of rehabilitative pain medicine. Andrew Marr, a former Special Forces Green Beret, and founder of Warrior Angels Foundation Dr. Patrick Quaid, Neuro-Optometrist, FCOVD, Ph.D., a neuro-optometrist.

Some of the topics include: *Motor-Vehicle Accidents *Sports *Military Service *Slip & Fall *Diagnosis *Treatment *Relationships *Anxiety Grief & Depression *Brain Health

The chapters in the book are: *Get Checked *Before You Back in the Game *Unlocking the Prison *Hormones 101 *Riding The Roller Coaster *Balancing Act *Should My Child Play Sports? *First Responders *Our Unspeakable Loss *A Story of Hope *There Is Nothing More We Can Do *Doctor, I Have This Friend… *The One and Only You *Brain Food *New Hope *Mental Gymnastics *Forgive and Forget *An Unexpected Companion *Minding Your Moments *Legal Challenges *Anti-Aging Strategies for Your Brain *It Takes a Team *Try to Remember *Spinal Concussion Syndrome *Battlefield TBI *We MUST Dispel the Myth of “20/20 is Perfect Vision” *Doctor to Doctor *The Choices Are Yours *Books to Read *Corporate Wellness & Productivity *Help and Hope for Veterans *Sports Consultant *Consulting Services *The Komer Women’s Health Centre *The Masters Men’s Clinic *The Komer Traumatic Brain Institute *Be Menopositive!

Dr. G. Blair Lamb began his career in the rehabilitation field when he suffered a series of accidents causing profound pain and loss of function of his spine and limbs. Current medical management was unsuccessful in remedying his pain and impairment. He had to find a new way to help people in pain. Visit www.spinalsolutions.ca for more information on his story and how he has helped patients over the many years since. He is someone who truly "understands what you are going through" and how to find solutions to your unique challenges.

I have written a chapter for the upcoming book on compassion fatigue, "Discover Your Oasis - Hope for the Weary Caregiver." Those in the helping professions are especially vulnerable to burnout. This book is about understanding the demands of being a caregiver. (This applies to those caring for a family member or special needs child too.) It is a book of hope as it looks at how to make your caring for others sustainable.

The book is written by psychiatrist Bill Cook of Mississippi along with executive coach, motivational speaker - and my friend, Grant Fairley. There are some other contributors including my friend and colleague, Dr. Larry Komer. Best guess is that the book will be available in May or June and is published by Silverwoods Publishing. I will update you when it is released.
