How Joe Namath Reversed His Own Brain Damage Caused by Football

[@sweeepzone5155]

Turns up in a shirt and tie. A true old school gent

[@joes0406]

Howard or Joe?;

[@DrGalazkiewicz]

Ricardo Watson yes, agreed, but why is he wearing his watch like that?

[@jlobiafra]

Ricardo Watson still supporting the jets green with his tie

[@joshuahenry7965]

A lot of people need to hear this.

[@JTB--]

One of the best Howard guests ever imo. Joe Namath just oozes coolness and honesty.

[@robertdavis4192]

If there was ever a tougher guy to play QB I'd say you met Hercules himself, Namath played with a beaten body that couldn't move or act near full strength and still hurled rockets 60 yards on the numbers, brilliant athlete

[@tr5947]

Joe was tough as nails, no doubt, and I love Namath, but the toughest man I ever saw in the NFL was Billy Kilmer. Bar none.

[@superduty4556]

@@tr5947 Scotty Kilmer's brother?

[@landofthelivingskies3318]

Oh he looks real good. Still talks clearly and precisely. Pretty sure those oxygen treatments helped him immensely.

[@seancostello2856]

Especially at 76

[@rodneyleon3645]

Yes, and he seemed off several yrs ago. I know he can tie one on at times, but he definitely seems better.

[@poeticalvision]

Thats because hes sober

[@777jones]

He is still a complete stud. Good genes.

[@billgoforth843]

Great interview! The NFL needs to listen to these former players like Namath .

[@T9RX3]

Joe sounds intelligent and coherent. Seems like what he is saying worked.

[@jason916]

Good to see Joe sober and living his best life

[@TheDizzleHawke]

The NFL has more than enough resources to acknowledge this treatment regardless of the backlash.

[@Obisiks500x]

I can agree, experiencing the loss of your mind is one of the most frightening and seemingly hopeless situations to endure. I always thank God for my recovery. Just the thought that there's more alternatives than straight up medication makes me glad :)

[@shotgunsnare]

Howard by bringing joe on your show and talking about this - you just helped countless people - 😎

[@sphillyfanatic7451]

He seems like such a nice and genuine person!!

[@ThePband]

America's Mighty Warriors is a non-profit that has paid for hyperbaric chamber therapy for some veterans with TBI, the results are incredible.

[@WillieDuitt1]

Once again this proves it to me...Joe Namath is the man,

[@churchillcoins8519]

Enjoyed the interview this morning. Broadway Joe is a true legend.

[@natalieps2387]

What a legend joe is. I like how he comes in dressed in a dress shirt & tie. Classy great football player. Hes a legend for the jets he won them their first championship.

[@JoseRamos-kd9ig]

The "NFL" should fund these treatments🤕😠

[@tomunderwood6367]

They do they recieve a check every month it no where near enough how can we put a price on someone's well being it's sad because i love the game

[@mitch1847]

They might not. As was said, if they do, then they admit it. Same as you never say "I'm sorry" if an accident occurs. That admits guilt and could be used against you if a lawsuit takes place. What they might do is shroud it in something else and say it's for "X" when in fact it's for concussions. This way it absolves the NFL of direct responsibility.

[@dmct7382]

@r385671 There are so many patients, data, and studies showing HBOT reversing the effects of TBIs/CTE. Can you imagine the Big Shield paying for their former players' HBOT treatments? No way NFL owners would pay a bill this large. "While in acute severe TBI, HBOT has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality,[11] Harch et al. demonstrated consistent SPECT brain imaging improvements (showing improved brain blood flow) in chronic TBI patients treated with HBOT 1.5 [12-15]. Since the original work of Drs. Neubauer and Harch, the efficacy of HBOT 1.5 in a chronic stable TBI has been well documented [16,17]. Patients with abnormal functional brain scans secondary to TBI show consistent improvement after HBOT 1.5. Recently, Harch et al reported dramatic improvement in a series of 15 patients treated with HBOT 1.5 in a clinical trial of military acquired TBI [18]. Functional brain scans continue to document results for HBOT 1.5 for combat related blast related TBI [19]. In two airmen with pre-injury neuropsychiatric testing and chronic stable TBI symptoms, HBOT 1.5 resulted in resolution of symptoms as well as a return to the pre-injury values for testing [20]. In a randomized controlled trial of stable severe TBI treated with HBOT 1.5 Lin et al demonstrated improvement in the Glasgow Coma Scale [21]. Rockswold has demonstrated improvement in the Glasgow Coma Scale and reduced mortality in acute TBI patients undergoing HBOT with minimal risk [22,23]. HBOT 1.5 in this group of acute patients appears safe and does not produce oxygen toxicity [24]. Other individual trials also have demonstrated the efficacy of HBOT 1.5 for chronic stable TBI [25]. A 310 patient Chinese trial demonstrated improvement clinically, in neuropsychiatric testing, as well as in functional brain imaging after HBOT 1.5 [26]. In a randomized controlled trial of 21 brain-injured adults, HBOT 1.5 resulted in improved neuropsychiatric testing for the treated group [27]." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3231948/

[@rodneyleon3645]

give me a break. these guys are paid enough to fund themselves.

[@USA92]

And you and I and all should stop funding the perpetrators. The supporter. The NFL. So you and I and any others can stop being the enablers. Simple stuff.

[@jeffthewhiff]

Joe is one of my all-time favorite athletes and it is great to hear that he has had such success with using a hyperbaric chamber several times. The NFL and other sports leagues should definitely take this more seriously.

[@jameshartsfield8585]

One of the BEST interviews I have ever seen!

[@qigong1001]

Problem is most of the studies show no benefits after 40 treatments. Not much research after 80 or 120 treatments. But, I'd definitely try it. From what I'm reading, the best time to get treatment is right after, so they should treat these guys right away.

[@np494609]

Thanks for sharing this joe I've been seeking help for a childhood head Injury from a Car accident, I was worried the damage was irreversible but this gives me hope and an action item to get it done!

[@HydrogenAgent129]

Well I'm impressed this is on the Howard Stern show very surprised!

[@PanickedTato]

He hit the nail on the head with his comments... if the NFL put these chambers in their stadiums to help players heal, that would be admitting that it is still a dangerous sport that can cause near irreversible brain damage (if you wait too long to treat it). They want players, and fans for that matter, to believe that a helmet prevents any possible problems. Sad world we live in.

[@theweakestlink2278]

That was a great interview this morning. I usually turn the channel during interviews but Namath actually turned out to be a great guest.

[@mitchelle4322]

Love Joe, love the green tie, he still bleeds Jet green!

[@mikewest6569]

Watched Namath hobble around Shea for many years. He was injured every year and was on the sidelines more then in the game, but he was tough and respected.

[@spinflux]

This is huge. This is potentially the hugest interview Joe Namath has ever given and one of the potentially most life-changing interviews Stern has done. Hyperbaric chamber dives to pull blood into the brain? Genius! I worry about the cell damage to other parts of the body but I feel mankind is up for the challenge. The alternative, like so many other solutions to American ills, won’t even be considered so we have to work with what we have.

[@joes0406]

Ironic Howard can go from useless shit like Richard & Sal dick play right to informative interviews all on the same show;

[@scuzzbecuzz]

Howard Stern: best interviewer by far!!! RTR glad to see Broadway Joe still lucid and kicking

[@bromeliad11]

Wow Joe looks great . like the green tie.really enjoyed the interview this morning..

[@MaddogJones]

I haven't seen nor heard Joe since that crazy incident on TV were he was trying to kiss the reporter, and then he was out of it. Now he does seem cognitively improved, amazing.

[@ashleyc506]

I had hyperbaric treatments as a teenager after being poisoned with carbon monoxide. I’m profoundly deaf in one ear (it can cause eardrums to rupture, and then mine got infected), but it saved my life.

[@BigDH28]

Awesome interview! Joe looking amazing! 👍✊️✌️

[@robertjameson2749]

The size of his forearms and wrists and hands - beast.

[@Danny-fs1hk]

One of my favorite QBs!

[@mccartney2006]

This just may have saved my life. Thank you Joe and Howard.

[@brandish4952]

Hyperbaric therapy is not new. It's so good to see it gaining traction finally. The science is solid.

[@justinmix143]

This man is such a Legend’s Legend. There’s no other original American treasure like Broadway Joe. And never will be (nor has there been any QB to ever come along in the last 50 yrs since with a better, quicker release in their throwing motion. And probably never will be either). Yer the King, Joe. Always will be.

[@richardahmyt8683]

Namath is amazing in this venue.

[@greenwoodtea]

Joe Namath........not the greatest quarterback.......but the greatest ARM that ever lived. He threw like no other......No one.....He had the best arm of all time........Now he is telling like it is.....to make your life right......thank You Joe.

[@bradishear9369]

My spouse has severe brain injury. Drs never suggested spec scan nor this therapy & I wished we had good drs like Joe had.

[@mowler8042]

Imagine all the brain trauma Howard has endured with his staff

[@SC-gp7kt]

The brain is an amazing organ, to say the least. Mad respect to Joe........good for him!

[@rong7496]

He was always an interesting person. I have even more respect for Mr. Namath.

[@fiveyearold]

Start sending this video to every NFL player you know

[@fiveyearold]

I bet Tom Brady all ready knew this

[@THECLARENCES]

Broadway Joe still looks A-MA-ZING!!! Legend!!! xoxo The Clarences

[@rockitmorton]

This is the first I heard of this treatment, sounds interesting.

[@Jetsetfastfood]

People need to talk about this.

[@brendanmccallion2350]

Joe has looked absolutely amazing for the age he is.

[@jamesanthony5681]

If Joe Namath had had 2 healthy knees, my God, what he might have been able to do. Had everything. The best athlete EVER, in front of the camera. Check out 'The Joe Namath Show' which came on (briefly) in the fall of 1969. Be mindful that Joe was only 26 st the time, and more than held his own with some of his guests.

[@tinahudgens3155]

Amazing, great interview 👍

[@AlanSpenceAlanGCCMSpence]

Joe didn't win a lot of super bowls but by gosh he was exciting to watch him..pass, run, dive..he sure left it out on the field..played hard, an back then! It was real football..knock your block off..lol..man..thanks joe..good times

[@jameshoran8]

Joe, Your finest moment.

[@georgethune132]

Joe will always be the coolest.

[@mjphoto45]

Howard please stay with this type of interview. The staff goofing is old. You are great at this type of interview

[@mannyhernandez8925]

Mark Johnson needs a balance, would become redundant

[@paulhoulachan4713]

I thought this would be boring, but what a great interesting interview.

[@MrMomoneyz]

Great info.

[@chrisbrimhall6323]

Joe is such a cool gentleman

[@krisconkey8165]

Joe sounds so much better. If you’re a Browns fan, Bernie Kosar has had treatment as well. Huge difference

[@mineralt]

Joe sounds like all my relatives from Pittsburgh. LOL.

[@brianhoward8433]

Love me some Joe Willie!!!!

[@gaips]

Excellent video.

[@AgentZ7]

This knowledge could potentially help racing drivers who've been concussed in crashes too.

[@christopherhanna5754]

I've never heard of this great interview by Howard.. Joe Namath tells ut it just like it is

[@Nick23at63]

George Sauer was another player whose life went downhill from the effects of concussions.

[@StDiddy1975]

Broadway’s got a great voice and enunciation.

[@Andy-kw5nw]

I remember years ago reading that Zach Thomas from the dolphins use to do that therapy a lot......they should ask him about it too.

[@jfarinacci0329]

Really good content. Thank you.

[@slipper409]

Whoa! Edit: Joe also looks sharp as fuck!

[@dexterbernard2701]

The NFL has a short-term memory.

[@nba_fan7214]

I know Joe is talking about something serious but damn how do I keep my skin looking as good as his

[@rmiddlehouse]

He certainly sounds pretty coherent for his age

[@moelester3650]

i am working in this industry and ill tell you that lots of these chambers will be in a medical center near u soon...

[@stevenphillips6127]

Is Howard squatting on a captain's set from a Chevy Astro Van?

[@quinnrollen]

Doesn't matter to the NFL- They're making *WAY* too much money to give a shit about who gets hurt or irreversible damage. And the fans will never boycott.

[@jackjohnson7396]

Joe's a good person.

[@EMDANAL]

If Phil Heath and Jay Cutler can buy a hyperbaric chamber I'd imagine football player can get one too since bodybuilders get paid way less.

[@jillybean4899]

Wow! This is great information

[@zeeeOgre]

Love Joe.

[@paulhawk8277]

Dam....Joe looks good for his age....he looked 20 years older about 10 years ago...

[@michaelh1889]

Joe Namath coolest guy ever - he REFUSES to lose !1 THIS was another fight he would NOT surrender !! HEY NFL !! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND LISTEN TO THAT MAN !! - and THANKS HOWARD !! ;)

[@mikeydoggy]

Joe Namath is the GOAT. I have a signed football from him.

[@groove9tube]

He was my first sports hero. Still is.

[@McRocket]

Amazing stuff (if true). Fascinating.

[@austrianpainterinhiding88]

I don't see why he'd make it up.

[@mistycloud4455]

How many sessions would you guys advise i take i am 26

[@OTKP]

WOW that is incredible!

[@926rosey]

GREAT interview!!! Howard doing what he does best. Robin, please calm down with the fake hysterics.

[@amrose4214]

If one has alot of money for treatments like that. Not every football player be lucky.

[@Jumpman90]

Really intelligent guy

[@Mikishots]

I'm guessing that this type of treatment 120 times (not including diagnostics) is stupid expensive in the states. Is cost the issue?

[@ericeinar]

He seems real clear.

[@LionMartell]

I thought that was Jim Varney, the Ernest character from 90s.

[@yourontheair]

thanks Mr. Namath

[@chriswesterfield4818]

I've NEVER heard Joe talk more intelligently. Maybe this therapy improves intelligence, above and beyond repairing the injuries? Only problem with Namath brain studies is figuring out which problems were from football and which from his alcoholism. But, he talks so intellectually in this video, which has never been the case on any film ever recorded of him.

[@BalanceBalls]

All combat sport athletes need this as well

[@bluered5664]

Meanwhile the main headlines from news organizations are focused only on Joe calling Tom Brady the GOAT from this interview.

[@johngrywalski1128]

id like to try this

[@ThePataks]

wonder if hyperbaric oxygen treatment could help stroke victims as well? - perhaps certain parties would be selling less drugs though - that might be the hold up to be honest...

[@safepethaven]

Why? Because those who offer HBOT charge astronomical fees to do the treatments. Ref, Johnson Medical Associates in Richardson TX; cost prohibitive for any except the wealthy - much like most health care in the U.S.

[@isaiahgwhite]

Y’all should look into ozone therapy too. Amazing stuff

[@davidgoldstein3475]

This technology is not expensive to make , and therefore should not be cost prohibitive . In my area they cost about $120-150 if I recall . If it were utilized by hospitals , the cost would -in theory at least-- come down. The main reason for its absence in the institutions is the amafia , and their control over state medical licensing , even for the 85% + of doctors who are not members !!!??? Any new approach is the threat of a good example to these snakes and rats ...What if they lose customers due to some tech they don't control ? Keep in mind ama was founded by skull 'n bones . Who wouldn't want to deal with a bunch of pervert slavers and pirates when they got sick ???
