Traumatic Brain Injury - Dipnarine Maharaj M.D.


Traumatic Brain Injury - Dipnarine Maharaj M.D.

Today, we understand a great deal more about the healthy brain and its response to trauma, although science still has much to learn about how to reverse damage resulting from head injuries.

TBI costs the country more than $56 billion a year, and more than 5 million Americans alive today have had a TBI resulting in a permanent need for help in performing daily activities. Survivors of TBI are often left with significant cognitive, behavioral, and communicative disabilities, and some patients develop long-term medical complications, such as epilepsy.

Our work with TBI patients is some of the most important that we do.  Our brave men and women in the military deserve the very best.

Other statistics dramatically tell the story of head injury in the United States. Each year:

  • approximately 1.4 million people experience a TBI,
  • approximately 50,000 people die from head injury,
  • approximately 1 million head-injured people are treated in hospital emergency rooms, and
  • approximately 230,000 people are hospitalized for TBI and survive.

  1. This may sound unbelievable, but I cannot keep this wonderful testimony to myself. My husband had been a victim of Parkinson's Disease for over twelve (12) years and had been a cause for concern to me. We spent virtually all our savings in search for a cure. And he was also subjected to Carbidopa-levodopa all along as a treatment. But what seemed like a miracle came when I saw a post on the internet about a victim who testified to being cured by a Doctor who specialized in herbal medicine. I contacted the Doctor, and today my husband is totally cured. All thanks to Dr Evans. For those who might have a similar case, please don’t hesitate to contact drevanscott@gmail.com
