“Dr. Denton was the first light for me in this haze of confusion and total discomfort. To realize that there are actually concrete things I can do to make myself feel better was such a huge relief. Especially after every single “Specialist” I saw told me either I’d be fine in three months, or maybe something else was wrong with me. Just to have someone tell me I wasn’t imagining it all, and more importantly giving me the blueprint for how to go about my life dealing with my head injury was so unbelievably helpful.”
–Jake D from NYC
“Although my brain injury was incurred through the stresses and chemical treatments of chemotherapy, Dr. Denton’s book “Brainlash” has been my constant companion”. I have read many books on mild brain insult and the similarities between what Dr. Denton explains (in simple to understand language) and other forms of brain injury is a very real help to anyone suffering from those symptoms. My continued involvement with Dr. Denton as a personal consultant has brought about an even better realization of different modalities I have incorporated such as vitamin supplements, diet, exercise, crainal sacral and massage therapy which, over time, have helped my brain recover. I highly recommend her book(s) and consultation to give you the confidence you may need to help yourself with the healing process.”

“Hi Gail, all your tips about lighting and the ear plugs have been such help. As was the suggestion for white noise. I have also been going to a DO for cranial sacral work and it has helped the buzzing somewhat and I can go to certain restaurants, at their slow times, and not need the ear plugs. But mostly what our conversation gave me was hope for the future.
I am in a 12 week Heart Healthy program… It is helping me to get back into moving and learning how to choose portions and eat with a healthy outlook at food.
You are a Star!!!!”
