I have a personal history story of multiple mild traumatic brain and neck injuries from horse riding as a young girl, a traffic accident in 1998 and, in 2007, a severe sports accident.  

Brain fog, chronic fatigue, and neck pain. Being hypersensitive and unfocused at daytime, exhausted early every night, I was unable to have a regular job for 10 years. I retrained and lived as a professional artist for 4 years. 

Just like the experience of many other people, my brain- and neck- injures were invisible on X-ray, CT and regular MRI scans. There was no diagnosis, leaving it open for my problem to be misinterpreted by MDs as psychosomatic.
No diagnosis meant no therapy was offered. 

Luckily, I had formerly worked on publishing scientific research articles, so I knew how to investigate what was going on with my brain, neck, and body, right down to the cellular level. I began studying brains and neuroscience. Starting in 2007, I researched 1,500 research articles, in total of more than 10 medical fields. Along the way, I traveled the world to try those new treatment methods that made sense, in relation to the latest human life science and cell biology papers. 

In 2016, I contacted a clinic with research studies in the rehabilitation of brain-damaged American NFL football players. It was a relief to find a type of brain scan able to reveal my brain injuries. With “SPECT scan photos” of the injuries, I was finally taken seriously by the medical community at home. The restorative treatment helped me get back to work after just six months. I have been healthy and sharp minded since 2017, by just practicing EEG-neurofeedback “brain training” at my business partner’s clinic, and sticking to a brain healthy diet and by adding brain targeted supplements.  

Since my recovery in 2017, I have taken three shorter qualifications, passed exams for certifications and worked on establishing the non-profit research and science organization whipcon.org – and am now  working full time, as founder of REbrainClinic.com 

In gratitude for my gradual improvement, and to understand the scientific causalities in order to help others get well too, I founded WHIPCON.org, a non-profit science organization, in 2014. WHIPCON.org  has received advice from the internationally leading neuroscience researcher (Prof. Alexei Verkhratsky, UK). The organization argues for new individual therapy of brain-neck injuries, using artificial intelligence applied to neuroscience.  

I wanted to find the unknown physiological and biological connections that made me able to recover. This is well on the way. Today, I have good connections with doctors and specialists in many parts of the world.   

However, WHIPCON.org is a long-term project. It takes time to get the right scientists to work non-profit.  

So, in 2020 I founded REbrain Clinic ApS to actively help others who are experiencing problems due to concussion, stress and more – and to be able to participate in practical clinical research collaborations, wherever possible. Why this shift? A Danish chief physician encouraged me to move in a less theoretical direction, adding clinical focus. To start with, the REbrain Clinic aims to document the proportion of people who manage to return to work after long-term sick leave.  

We must prove that it is possible to recover, using intensive individual treatment strategy.

Comment: 

The experiments behind both articles are the world’s first documentation of biomarkers for precisely the microbiological processes that also take place in a human intestine (anaerobic). 30-year-old scientific studies of great importance for understanding the microbiological processes of the gut/intestine. REbrain Clinic works with CELL REHABILITATION, and by supporting the brain via the diet, the gut and vagus nerve.
