?People ask me, ?Joe, have you ever had concussions?’? Namath said. ?Well, there was a time I jokingly said, ?I don?t know if I?ve ever had concussions, but I had a heck of a lot of smelling salts.???After seeing some of my teammates ? a couple of them literally deteriorate and pass on ? I began to analyze and monitor myself, so to speak,? the football Hall of Famer?added.?The NFL recently reported as many as a third of players can be expected to show premature brain injury. Namath said his health was good before the treatment, but he reports having more energy and says, ?Now, if I forget things, it?s my own fault.?
Hyperbaric chambers are currently best known for helping to heal wounds. Doctors at Jupiter Medical Center reasoned they might also help heal traumatic brain injuries.??It stimulates regeneration of cells,? explained Dr. Barry Miskin. ?So there are stem cells that are regenerated, and you?re actually generating new brain tissue.??The medical center has named a neurological research center for Namath. It?s seeking funding and 100 patients to continue the experiment. More information or join the trial.

Those living with TBI can struggle with its devastating effects for days, months, years or even for the rest of their lives. Regardless of age, anyone can suffer a detrimental brain injury, including: professional athletes, motorcyclists, children involved in team sports, military personnel and even senior citizens.
