The “big game” is this weekend. The NFL’s present-day gladiators will lock helmets and the crowds will cheer. However, after the game is over… the players will be the one’s to pay the price.

From 2009-2012, the Amen Clinics performed the world’s largest brain imaging and rehabilitation study on active and retired professional football players because we had a high suspicion that many players suffered with the effects of chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The results of our NFL study were very clear:
A very high percentage of our players had evidence of TBI patterns on their SPECT scans and showed symptoms of it – there was a high rate of depression, dementia, obesity, and ADD-like symptoms among them.
