Prime of Life: A Family's Story (CTE)

The Adamle family are learning to live with Mike's diagnosis of CTE. In this video we hear from Mike, his wife Kim, their two daughters, and Dr. Bob Stern, a recognized authority on CTE.

Thank you to the entire Adamle family for bravely making public your story. Many are living a similar story and I'm positive it helps to know that they are not alone.

Amazing video. Thank you to Mike and Kim and the Adamle family for sharing their story. The more information available for others, the more chance to help.

Wow, Mike reminds me of me. I just commented on a video on Robert Stern - seems appropriate to add it here: ~~~ I am now 57 years old. Head injuries started around 7 years old (three concussions before 10, two of them unconscious). Then it was motocross, football, accidents - one of which was a fractured skull. CTE-like symptoms started to appear in my late 20's. Then the slow and steady decline. I have tried all the recommended remedies, and with much gusto and commitment. CAT scans, MRI’s, treatment plans. I have also tried so many non-conventional approaches. Without cynicism I can say conventional remedies are laughable…some caused more harm. It seems Robert Stern and for the most part the medical community mean well, but I feel compelled to say - this video (and so many others) are doing more of a disservice to those suffering from this little understood ailment. Your approach is superficial, barely one dimensional. This reminds me of my decades of struggle, watching my life and relationships fall away from me due to lack of understanding. Those that took the conventional approach in their half hearted efforts to help - diet, exercise, effort, positive thinking, etc. - all on the surface meaning well, but not really studying me and my issues, not listening...we just quickly sailed away from each other. You are pitting all those harmful concepts against those who are truly suffering, establishing further division. As a professional you have an obligation to see this side, look deeply, and do more. My heart breaks for all the others who are isolated, alienated and misunderstood. I am convinced there is an ever increasing number of people who feel like me. For this reason I feel a need to give this more exposure. I commend you for doing more than nothing, gotta start somewhere. Now I challenge you to take a closer look, this is a different animal. I have done work with water - I can "vitalize", or measurably increase the voltage of water. Plants fed this water show on average twice the biomass and nutrient density compared with control plants (and 2x the voltage). I suspect cannabis, in particular CBD, in conjunction with higher voltage water, will reduce inflammation and drive out tau protein and its nasty after effects. Any fatal / incurable disease is only labeled that until a cure is found.

TBI….it’s a very hard life. It’s exhausting. I’m so sorry.

I'm so sorry. He couldn't stop. It will come into his head. It just comes. It doesn't seem horrible, 😕 it's just a thought. How sad, so very sad. How painful, how lonely, how lost you must feel. Emotions of abandonment on all sides. Remember you have a life to live very precious gift
