People with CTE report Headaches. And uncontrolable aggression. Chris Ben wouldn't have done that in His. Right mind.

I have a lot of problems, memory, mood, black outs that change my character completely, doing things and having absolutely no idea what happened, ever. My longest black out lasted just over 2 weeks. I was a truck driver, delivered 4 loads during those 2 weeks. I remember climbing in my truck one day, and the next thing I remember was getting out of my bed at home. I had damaged the truck, quit my job, cussed out the boss, went home and started a fight with my wife. and I had no recollection of any of it. That was 15 years ago, and the starting point of what has become a nightmare of mood swings, blackouts and at time a lot of confusion

This is a good start but does not begin to explain the many, many ways our lives are changed nor does it begin to cover the symptoms.

Black strap molasses. Lots of water. Brains made up of water...Vitamins. magnesium, plus others. Even drink ensure. (Not just for old people) CBD. Caffeine helps you to think. But, makes you mean..Drinking chamomile tea. Alternate chamomile tea after coffee. Probably not good.. But, some do this to function. Not all the time
