Opposing Gravity: How to Recognize and Recover from Head Injuries

Besides the millions of people each year who suffer head and brain injuries, there are many times more who have them and don't know it. Receiving treatment as soon as possible can ward off a number of issues from developing after the fact. The symptoms resemble so many things we can easily ignore, like headaches, ADD/ADHD, moodiness, depression, anxiety, PTSD, neck pain, nausea, clumsiness, brain fog, etc., or can attribute to other causes. A concussive force can happen to the brain if you fall, play contact sports, or have a car accident, but unless you pass out or bleed, most likely everything else will get diagnosed and treated except what happened to your head.

This book goes into detail about what happens in the body and the brain after an impact, and lists the dozens of possible symptoms along with suggestions on how to get them resolved.I've had dozens of small head injuries and a few major ones that were overlooked until the 'game-changer' happened and couldn't be dismissed. I studied and tried everything I could think of to heal it and was then faced with healing all of them. I reached 80% resolution, but still had a couple of remaining symptoms and a vulnerability to exacerbation. I got to wondering why that vulnerability was still there. My body remembered everything and left tracks in my system that luckily could be followed like breadcrumbs to the kingpin.

The kingpin was the area that registered most of the trauma in such a way that none of them could fully heal, because on the level of the nervous system, fascia fields, and other layers, they are inseparably interconnected. With what I've learned in the process of researching for this book, finally the kingpin is healing and that remaining 20% is resolving as well. What I learned along the way is too significant not to share. So many discomforts and dysfunctions that turn into chronic issues can be renewed into greater ease, more freedom, less pain, deeper sleep, and happier days. I wanted everyone to know that there are many avenues these days for specific diagnoses, and detailed treatment protocols that are pretty simple and are a pleasure to follow because they feel so wonderful as they balance your system.

There are several types of practitioners out there who can help jump start the process, and many things you can do on your own to continue the trajectory towards well-being and lasting peace of mind. I hope that coaches, teachers, parents, partners, therapists, and team mates alike appreciate and pass on the urgency of this information getting out there. Hear what professionals have to say:

"Concussion is the entry even leading into dementia. Recovery must include the restoration of braincase physiology (motion), and the reestablishment of brain-drainage (glymphatic and venous). Neurodegenerative decline occurs throughout all neural tissues i.e. spinal stenosis, cardiac arrythmias, incontinence and constipation accompany the tremor and lost memories. Opposing Gravity goes beyond the physicality of brain injury to include a wide range of nutritional, physical, and spiritual approaches, with extensive self-care information from an insider's perspective. The reader will soon know more than their physicians, and will have a far wider ranges of tools with which to recover."

"Suresha Hill has written a gem of a book about how to recognize injuries and how to heal from them. As a CranioSacral/ Trauma therapist, I have worked with countless closed injury clients over the years and have lamented the lack of a self-help manual I could recommend for people to empower their own healing process. Now Suresha has provided such a resource - a beautiful blend of valuable information combined with insightful personal experience." ~ Gary Peterson, BCST, BCST Approved Teacher

"Concussion is the entry event leading into dementia. Even without being "knocked out", damage to brain and braincase ignites an inflammation within them that will not be extinguished. Neurodegenerative decline occurs throughout all neural tissues even as dementia ravages consciousness: spinal stenosis, cardiac arrhythmias, incontinence and constipation accompany the tremor and lost memories. Recovery must include the restoration of braincase physiology (motion), and the reestablishment of brain-drainage (glymphatic & venous). Osteopathy in the Cranial Field is practiced on that frontier." Dr.T M McCombs, DO, C-NMM/OMM, C-FP
