Join myself, Dr. Brandon Ramakko, in my rants and guest interviews. While it may slant towards healthcare education... any topic is possible. I like empowering others with self-improvement, taking control of one's own life, learning about the world, and figuring out how things work.

Chronic traumatic Encephalopathy CTE and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy HBOT: William Person interview
William is a former 9-year Team USA Bobsledder whose life was upended by the very real, often-misunderstood symptoms of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), an issue tragically familiar to both athletes and military veterans. What makes CTE especially cruel is that it’s only diagnosed after death, but while alive, sufferers lose their quality of life and sense of self. William went through debilitating confusion, depression, even losing his way in his own neighborhood.Turning point came when he tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), something he discovered after everything else failed. Almost immediately, his symptoms eased. Now, William is on an urgent mission: to open a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center using HBOT and other therapies, completely free for athletes and veterans who desperately need interventions but can’t afford them. He’s asking the public to help through his GoFundMe campaign (https://gofund.me/93ff9c6e).

Are Chiropractors and other health professionals scamming you?
There is a lot of subtlety to this video. Botox works sometimes, chiropractic adjustments work sometimes and can help loosen up before rehab or combined with muscle work, some hip problems do actually require hip replacements, etc... but these things are not always the best management, and some things may be done more for financial gain.Even regularly visiting your chiropractor could be nice... but it irks me when it is presented as a cure-all and as a requirement to be healthy.I didn't get into it, but even something like cranial therapy, the chiro/osteopathic explanation is pseudoscience but the treatment can be great. If someone comes in asking for a destressing, relaxing session, I use it. I also use it for some headaches, particularly concussion and sinus headaches to great effect sometimes. If I start it and the patient feels less tension or they feel they are breathing more clearly or thinking more clearly, then I continue, if it isn't doing anything for them I stop.... I don't tell them they need 12 sessions for it to work.....For more resources and information about myself and my services check out https://www.DrRamakko.comYou can also search for my book on Amazon: "Pain is Not a Life Sentence: A Guide to Understanding and Eliminating Chronic Muscle, Joint, and Nerve Pain". https://books2read.com/ap/xM7Kek/Brandon-RamakkoMy ultrasound course for MDs, DOs, DCs, and physiotherapists: https://msk-pocus-training.trainercentralsite.com
