Dr. Daniel Amen’s exceptional TED talk on the SPECT scan

For decades, many of us, practicing different forms of holistic health and medicine, have made great inroads in improving or healing numerous brain and neurological conditions.  These include different types of dementia, Parkinson’s, ALS, Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and traumatic brain injuries.  For most of this time, what is referred to as “mainstream medicine” has either denied that we could be of any help, or in the case of traumatic brain injury, they denied it even existed.  You might want to watch the excellent documentary on this entitled “ Concussion .  Dr. Amen is an MD, a psychiatrist, and a brain imaging expert.  In this short 14 minute presentation, Dr. Amen shows and explains what his over 80,000 brain imaging scans have taught him about diagnosing and documenting improvements in the brain’s ability to do its job.  No one can now claim that we cannot effect great improvement in the human brain’s health or that the symptomatic improvement claimed by many, is anecdotal or not real.
