Brain Injury

When a brain injury occurs, the system becomes dysregulated or, in other words, the brain becomes stuck in specific brainwave patterns. Thus, it is no longer resilient and flexible, and often becomes over-reactive (hyper arousal – anxiety). When this happens, to protect itself the brain shuts down causing depression, fatigue and inattentiveness.

Acquired Brain Injury

While a brain injury refers to any damage or injury occurring in the brain, acquired brain injury (ABI) is the term designated to any damage to the brain that occurs after birth. This type of brain injury can be either traumatic or non-traumatic, or due to an external or internal cause.

Dr. Diane®‘s Story

Diane Sitting on a bench

On March 5, 1990, my life was suddenly transformed. Driving home after visiting a cancer patient, I suffered a cerebral bleed (an aneurysm, a type of stroke), became unconscious at the wheel of my automobile, and was involved in a 60 mph head-on auto accident. Five months later, I had open skull brain surgery to remove the cause of the stroke, which was a growth on my brain, called a cavernous hemangioma.

At that time I was successful health practitioner, managing a private practice of 7 therapists and 250 patients. I suddenly found myself thrust in the role of brain injured patient, fighting for survival, but I did survive, and regained my life. From my personal experience and professional expertise, I wrote “Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury,” the first comprehensive guide to brain trauma and its hidden effects, to help other survivors regain their lives.

I understand and appreciate the role of a caregiver, because I was actively involved in the care of both my mother and one of my sons who both sustained brain injuries. My mother had several strokes, plus two concussions, and my son sustained three concussions causing him memory loss (amnesia) for more than four hours.

My experiences led me to devote my clinical practice, writings and personal appearances to helping organizations and individuals overcome life’s obstacles and reach their full potential.

2004

I was bitten by a deer tick and got a bulls-eye rash. For 18 months I was misdiagnosed by numerous physicians and suffered with painful joints and a rash from my knees to my neck. I also had a mini stroke in the motor area of my brain, making me unable to button my clothes or pull up a zipper. Finally, I went to see my cousin Dr. Steven L Keenholtz, a physician who specializes in infectious disease. He diagnosed me with Lyme Disease. Due to my allergies to antibiotics, I was helped with an herbal antibiotic, Golden Seal. This herb, along with the nutritional counseling and whole food supplements provided by Martha Lindsay, who is now a part of my expert team, made all the difference. I no longer have any symptoms of Lyme Disease.

February 22, 2008

Once again, my life was turned upside down as a result of another automobile accident. Driving to my office, a snowplow broadsided my automobile, taking off the front part of it. The impact caused me to become unconscious at the wheel of my automobile. I was out of work for a month with symptoms of Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS). During this period, I had several MRI’s, which showed additional brain injury along with a 1 cm meningioma (brain tumor) in the frontal area of my brain. I immediately consulted with my brain surgeon, who let me know that it was not cancerous and I would be fine. Using the treatment methods mentioned in my first book, Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, and now in my newest book Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, along with my integrative approach, I was able to return to work by August 2008.

May 1, 2010

I suffered another concussion. While reclining in a zero gravity lounge chair, the hinges suddenly broke resulting in my falling backwards, hitting my head, and remaining unconscious for several minutes. Again I went to various doctors, and underwent a CAT scan and MRI to conclude I had a concussion. With the help of my integrative team, the methods in my book, and plenty of rest, I was able to return to work within 3 weeks.

October of 2013

I went for my routine annual MRI scan to assess the meningioma in my brain. There it was discovered that the meningioma has doubled in size since 2008. I went to four neurosurgeons who said that since I had no symptoms of headache or seizures, to watch and wait for the next six months. I was told that if it grew or I began to have symptoms, I would need brain surgery and be out of work for at least two and a half months.

I have received great news. The tumor has not grown! I directly attribute this to all I do to take care of myself through my brain rehabilitation program and a brain healthy diet. The next visit is in nine months. I look forward to positive news!

October 15th 2020

I was in an auto accident. I was in a rear-end collision, which resulted in a whiplash and my 5th concussion. I had symptoms of dizziness, nausea, brain fog, word finding issues and short-term memory issues. I was seen in the local ER and they said I had a concussion and neck injury.

My Journey with Lymphoma

May 2014

In my blog: Blast Injury: Coping with the Unexpected I shared that in May of 2014, an MRI found a tumor on my liver that indicated the possibility of liver cancer. I dismissed this at the time thinking it was a benign growth and was willing to watch and wait. In November 2015 I had another MRI and my doctors insisted that I have a biopsy, which I did on December 22nd. The results showed I had lymphoma, one of the strangest forms ever seen; a 3cm tumor primary hepatic lymphoma with Hodgkin Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, B-Cell, and T Cell Lymphoma. It was so strange that a second biopsy was done on February 19, 2016.

April 2016

I’ve had two PET scans since my diagnosis. The first shows stage 1 with the tumor and cancer only on the liver and nowhere else on my body. The second shows the same results with a slight decrease in the tumor. This decrease came as a result of absolutely no chemotherapy, it is due solely to my method of treatment (aka my “concoction.”) My oncologist said my next appointment for a PET scan was in 6 months and a blood test in 3 months. They were very surprised, and I was definitely a happy camper, doing a happy dance.

August 2016

On August 2, 2016 I received more great news when I was given my latest test results. It turns out that all of my tests are better than normal, which is due to my healthy lifestyle and diet. These results mean that I do not have to see my doctor or have another PET scan until November. Doing a Happy Dance!

November 2016

I went for an MRI of my Brain Tumor on Sept 17th, and my blood work is better than normal and the tumor on my liver is 2x smaller than it was in April, which was 1x smaller than my first PET scan in February.

Thus, I’m still alive to provide helpful and hopeful insights for your recovery and my tumor is 3x smaller and I’m feeling GREAT.

May 2019

As of January 2019 this tumor is totally gone. Disappeared using the methods I developed in my blog. My doctors said that was impossible, yet it is gone. However in the same PET scan in January and in a recent PET scan on April 25th 2019, the PET scan shows a new 1 cm on the liver and metastasized outside of liver area to lymph nodes that are 3x larger than in January and a spot on my lung. Thus, I have my work cut out for me again. Not a happy camper, yet I’ve come up with additional methods as detailed in my newest blog on Lymphoma.

September 2019

Every 4-6 months, I have my blood work done. And as usual for me, on September 12th 2019, it was normal, which is totally not normal if you have a blood cancer as I do. Yet, neither before my diagnosis nor currently have I ever had an abnormal blood test. That is why I joked about being a dog. They can have normal blood test and still have a form of lymphoma, as I do.

My oncologist has scheduled another PET scan in mid November to determine the status of my cancer, which is currently at stage 2. In the meantime, I will continue to take HemoHIM. I am still feeling GREAT and will continue to live a healthy lifestyle and provide you with insights to aid in your own recovery.

November 14, 2019

I went for my 6 month PET scan, and once again, using the methods I have developed, the results are encouraging. I still have a 4mm spot on my left lung. However, there was a reduction of everything else across the board! Specifically, the liver tumor decreased from 5.7mm to 4.6mm; lymph nodes around my liver decreased from 10.7mm to 8.3mm, and another from 6.3mm to 4.9mm. I am hopeful and will continue my methods.

Previously it took me 3 years to get the 3cm primary hepatic tumor to disappear.  I am realistic that in the next year I will reduce these areas, if not make them disappear altogether!

Update on blood test once again, my blood test was normal to above normal. My doctor said I was the healthiest person he’s ever seen at Dana Faber.

October 29th

I went for an ultrasound for a small lump on my right leg. The results is a small tumor which needs to be verified if benign or cancerous.

November 12, 2020

PET scan done. Tumor is benign + tumor in left lung is no longer there.

November 18 2021

My Lymphoma is in Remission!

CATALYST FOR CHANGE

Dr. Diane is a catalyst for change

Within each person shines an inner light that illuminates our path and is the source of hope. Illness, trauma, suffering and grief can diminish the light and shroud hope. I am a catalyst for hope and change, offering a way to rekindle this inner light.
