Quem assina o Café Brasil passa a fazer parte da Confraria Café Brasil, um grupo de discussão no Telegram, onde rola todo tipo de debate. Um dos subgrupos da Confraria é o #AcaoMalu, criado em Junho de 2021, quando uma antiga ouvinte de meus podcasts, numa mensagem, explicou que estava internada numa casa de repouso pois sofria de uma doença degenerativa que aos poucos incapacitava suas atividades mais básicas. Ela, a Malu, foi secretária de multinacional, bastante ativa, e agora passava os dias lendo, ouvindo podcasts ou assistindo televisão. Muito bem cuidada na Casa de Repouso Sono Real em Rio Claro, Malu descreveu um quadro que me emocionou. Então contei a história na Confraria e montamos o grupo AçãoMalu, nos revezando para ligar para ela de quando em quando e bater um papo. Logo na primeira semana, meu celular tocou. Era a Malu: "Luciano, vocês causaram uma revolução na minha vida!". Bem, depois disso e de vários contatos e até ações de visitação, um dos confrades, Ronny Clayton D´Ajuda, assumiu a liderança de promover um encontro com a Malu, que rapidamente cresceu para um evento lá na casa de repouso, envolvendo os outros internos. Uma reunião com música, distribuição de panetones, orações e, o mais importante: calor humano. O grupo arrecadou o dinheiro necessário, Ronny organizou a caravana e o evento aconteceu com a presença de outros dois Confrades, Leandro Florindo e Alê Tobias, que se deslocaram de suas cidades para estarem juntos com a Malu e seus companheiros. Doaram-se para uma ação que, certamente, marcou o dezembro de quem não tem mais o calor da família no mês mais sensível do ano. Eu me emocionei quando vi as fotos e os vídeos. E continuo sem palavras para agradecer a todos que fazem parte da Confraria Café Brasil, do grupo AçãoMalu e, em especial, ao Ronny, Leandro e Ale. Essa ação, originada dentro de um grupo de conversa na internet, mostra que em meio às discussões mundanas e conflitos do dia a dia, é possível fazer o amor brotar e impactar a vida de outras pessoas. De forma positiva. Gaste seu tempo defendendo o que você ama, não só atacando o que você odeia. Continuo a reflexão neste vídeo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aRsMvvAkDs

Questa sera torniamo a parlare di sport? Mi sono chiesto in questa settimana se esistessero sport Pericolosi per la salute. Ovviamente non parlo di incidenti o traumi, a cui chiunque faccia uno sport può andare incontro, e non parlo neanche di sport estremi. Parlo di sport che sarebbe meglio non fare perché dannosi e la risposta è stata si, esistono sport che sarebbe meglio evitare. Alcuni di questi, si discute persino se vietati totalmente. Questa sera quindi parleremo di Encefalopatia Traumatica Cronica (TCE), anche detta punck drunk syndrome, o demenza pugilistica. Parleremo quindi di questa demenza acquisita e di quale sia la correlazione con gli sport come la Boxe, il Football Americano e il Calcio.Ci potete ascoltare su: Nostro Sito: https://dpenpodcast.wixsite.com/website .

In the movie Concussion we can watch the story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, the physician who discovered that many football players in the USA were receiving a form of brain damage known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The repeated blows to the head and resulting concussions over many years lead to many problems with mental health in the players. Many people attempt to prevent Dr. Omalu's efforts, asking him to have some respect for the players' bodies and families. However, Omalu had a higher ideal of respect - that pursuing the truth and perhaps preventing further injury was valuable. We can see, in a Hollywood version of events, how the good doctor showed reverence for his patients, praying and asking for their help before he performed an autopsy. Dr. Omalu's commitment to truth and completion presented him with many difficulties. Finally, his work was recognized as true. How can the virtues of one person, fully embodied, make a difference in the world?

This guest audio is from the Emotional Self Reliance Podcast. Sarah P. Hancock and her friend, Greg Threadgold have both had electroconvulsive therapy with remarkably different outcomes. In this episode, the two compare their different results with ECT and discuss the need for better regulation of this procedure to ensure good outcomes for all patients.See original interview. SHOW NOTES I sat down with Greg Threadgold, an ECT patient who feels ECT saved his life. We had a sincere discussion about the differences in treatment practices and the need to prevent injury among ECT patients. Greg Threadgold discusses his ECT Success and shares how he felt about my failed treatment. Repetitive head injury has delayed effects as does low-voltage diffuse electrical injury. ECT must be considered through the lens of both repetitive head trauma and an electrical injury (900 milliamps/450 volts/504mC). To standardize, regulate, audit ECT and provide rehabilitation to patients if/when injured, please sign and share the international patient safety petition www.change.org/patientsafetyECT Your signature could save a life. Sadly, Greg's experienced his first episode of symptoms associated with delayed electrical injury eight years after having 13 treatments. His experience speaks to the reality that even "successful ECT outcomes" carry the risk of developing low-voltage diffuse electrical injury symptoms years after treatment. Paroxysmal neurological disorders from electrical injuries acquired channelopathies can be difficult to recognize and diagnose. We desperately need researchers who study acquired brain injuries and/or repetitive head injuries to do a retrospective study on people with a history of shock treatment to identify needs associated with the delayed effects of repeatedly exposing the brain to 900 milliamps/450 volts of electricity. Dr. Bennet Omalu, the neuropathologist who first identified and published on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy among American Football Players, stated in California's Department of Rehabilitation TBI Advisory Board Meeting that electroconvulsive therapy must be considered through the lens of a repetitive electrical injury to the head. The neuropathology of ECT is clear. It's both a repetitive head injury and an electrical injury--and must be considered as such when considering the functional acquired brain injury to develop appropriate interventional rehabilitative care.

Pittsburgh Steelers center "Iron Mike" Webster was considered by many as the greatest of all time, winning four Super Bowls and playing in nine Pro Bowls in his career. But after he retired, he lapsed into depression, amnesia and dementia before passing away in 2002 at the age of 50. When a brilliant pathologist (who knew nothing about football) named Dr. Bennet Omalu did Webster

Warriors and former All Black Doctor John Mayhew has pushed back at claims people will stop playing contact sports because of potential brain injuries. Doctor Bennet Omalu was the pioneering neuropathologist who first discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of NFL stars. In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Omalu, who was played by Will Smith in the Hollywood film Concussion, said in the next generation or two, mankind won't be playing sports like rugby or football or ice hockey or mixed martial arts because it just doesn't make sense to be damaging the brain of a human being. But Doctor John Mayhew told Simon and Phil that’s nonsense. LISTEN ABOVE

In late 2016, the Supreme Court rejected challenges to the settlement of a landmark lawsuit against the National Football League. That cleared the last hurdle to a billion-dollar agreement — former players could finally be compensated for brain ailments they suffered playing professional football. While the lawsuit and settlement rocked the sports world, the way it all started was almost unbelievable. It involved an unlikely friendship between two men from vastly different backgrounds. One was Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian-born forensic pathologist who had discovered CTE in the brain of former Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Mike Webster. The other was Jason Luckasevic, a lawyer who grew up worshiping his heroes in black and gold. During a meeting in 2006, Omalu told Luckasevic that the NFL was unhappy with his work. They were coming after him, trying to discredit him and ruin his career. “And I said ‘well do something about it, look into it, figure it out, fight back,’” Luckasevic says. “And he said ‘well you’re a good lawyer you figure it out.’” And so, in an effort to defend his friend and help players who had been used and discarded by the NFL, Luckasevic went to work. This is his story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/razedsports/message

The 2015 film Concussion, which was nominated for an MTV Movie Award in the true story category, stars Will Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who becomes embroiled in a battle with the NFL after his research indicates that a football career can lead to lasting brain damage .The real Dr. Omalu, a physician originally from Nigeria, began his research somewhat accidentally, when he was assigned to perform an autopsy on former NFL star Mike Webster, according to a 2009 GQ profile of Omalu that reportedly inspired the 2015 film. Webster had been a famous football player who, by the time his life ended at age 50, was "pissing in his own oven and squirting Super Glue on his rotting teeth," according to GQ. When Omalu examined Webster's brain, things appeared normal on the surface, but he had a suspicion that there was unseen damage. After getting permission to examine Webster's brain in depth, Dr.Omalu discovered something unnerving — a build-up of proteins, splattered around the brain and gunking up the works, seemed like they might have been the cause of Webster's erratic and dysfunctional behavior. And Omalu believed it was caused by a lifetime of repeated head injuries. He named the disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. The film also stars Alec Baldwin as Dr. Julian Bailes, the chairman of neurosurgery at West Virginia University Hospitals who teamed up with Omalu to support his CTE research. The real Bailes and Omalu fought to share their findings, despite the fact that the NFL not only refused to cooperate with their research but actively tried to isolate Omalu: When the NFL held a summit to discuss concussions in 2007, 300 doctors, scientists and trainers, both from within the NFL and outside of the organization, were invited to participate, reports GQ, but Omalu wasn't. Despite the attempts by the NFL to dismiss Omalu, he was able to publish and advocate for his research, eventually forcing the league to begin to acknowledge the dangers of CTE and the risks that players face. But even though the movie has been made, Omalu's real-life work isn't over. "Anybody still denying the disease is out of his mind," Omalu told GQ in 2009. "The issue now is treatment. That is my next step, now that I understand the pathology." Guest: Professor Dr. Bennet Omalu, world's most famous pathologist Host: Michal Hulik, CMO Radiolutions

You may have heard of "David vs. Goliath" but have you heard of Bennet vs. The NFL? The movie Concussion, with Will Smith, is based on the coroner for Mike Webster, center for The Pittsburgh Steelers. During Mike Webster's autopsy, Bennet Omalu, MD, MBA, MPH, CPE, DABP-AP,CP,FP,NP discovered why many NFL players were becoming violent and committing suicide. Dr Omalu will share how he discovered the potential cause... Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy! And what Parents Should Know Before Letting Their Children Play sports!

The final sports film of this week's Film Club is the documentary/drama "Concussion" from 2015.Will Smith stars as pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu, who while conducting an autopsy on former NFL football player Mike Webster (David Morse),  discovers neurological deterioration similar to Alzheimer's disease. Omalu names the disorder chronic traumatic encephalopathy and publishes his findings in a medical journal. As other athletes face the same diagnosis, the crusading doctor embarks on a mission to raise public awareness about the dangers of football-related head trauma.

Bennet Omalu Bennet Ifeakandu Omalu is a Nigerian American physician, forensic pathologist, and neuropathologist who was the first to discover and publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in American football players while working at the Allegheny County Coroner's Office in Pittsburgh. Bennet Omalu discovered Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in former football players, sparking years of denial from the NFL and the creation of a movie about his life's work. For Omalu, the release of Concussion served as the ultimate vindication for years of hard work, and provided a spotlight for other endeavors. Along with his position as chief medical examiner for San Joaquin County, he serves as president of Bennet Omalu Pathology, as well as associate clinical professor of pathology at UC Davis Medical Center. Omalu has a new book, “Truth Doesn’t Have a Side.” The book further details the link between football, CTE and other diseases caused by brain trauma.

Dr. Bennet Omalu is a neuropathologist credited with discovering and naming Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in football players. CTE is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain found in people who've suffered repetitive brain trauma. The movie "Concussion" starring Will Smith was inspired by Dr. Omalu's story. Dr. Omalu's discovery has had far-reaching implications for the NFL and for anyone who plays or who is the parent of someone who plays contact sports. In his new book "Truth Doesn't Have A Side: My Alarming Discovery about the Danger of Contact Sports," Dr. Omalu argues that no one under the age of 18 should play not just football but any of several contact sports. During this podcast Dr. Omalu recounts his discovery of CTE and his struggle to get the NFL to accept his research, he talks about how his faith helps to inform his work and guide his life, and about why he believes every parent should prohibit their children from playing tackle football.

Join host Amy Zellmer as she chats with Dr. Bennet Omalu about his new memoir, CTE, concussions, and the NFL. Dr. Bennet Omalu is a Nigerian-American physician, forensic pathologist and neuropathologist who was the first to publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in American Football players. He is the chief medical examiner of San Joaquin County, California, and a clinical professor at University of California, Davis. Will Smith plays him in the major motion picture, Concussion. Dr. Bennet Omalu wants to save lives. Specifically, he wants to protect your brain and your kid’s brain, which has a huge impact on mental and physical health.

Dr. Omalu is the chief medical examiner of San Joaquin County, California, and a clinical professor at the University of California, Davis. His story is told in the major motion picture Concussion, starring Will Smith. Bennet and his wife have two children and reside in Sacramento, California. One day in 2002 the fifty-year old body of former Pittsburgh Steeler and hall of famer Mike Webster was laid on a cold table in front of pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu. Webster’s body looked to Omalu like the body of a much older man, and the circumstances of his behavior prior to his death were clouded in mystery. But when Omalu cut into Webster’s brain, it appeared to be normal. Something didn’t add up. It was at this moment, Omalu studying slides of Webster’s brain tissue under a microscope, that the world of contact sports would never be the same: the discovery of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. CTE can result in an array of devastating consequences including deterioration in attention, memory loss, social instability, depression, and even suicide. And Omalu’s discovery of CTE in the brain of an American football player has become the catalyst of a blazing controversy across all contact sports. At the center of that controversy stands the unlikely Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian-born American citizen, a mild-mannered, gentle man of faith. It is fascinating that it would take someone on the outside of American culture to make this amazing discovery, and refuse to let it be kept hidden. Dr. Omalu began his life in strife, growing up in war-torn Nigeria. But his medical studies in forensic pathology proved to be a lifeline. It fed his natural curiosity and awakened within a deeper desire to always search for the truth. Who would have thought that such an unexpected character would play such a role in bringing to life this world-changing data? In Truth Doesn’t Have a Side, discover the truth about CTE: Its causes and symptoms, how we might keep our children safe and guide professional athletes when CTE sets in. The problem of CTE is coming to light with each new story about an athlete’s concussion problem, and we are likely facing dramatic changes to professional sports. You’ll be inspired by Dr. Bennet Omalu a man driven by his love and concern for the welfare of all people, and his professional vow to speak the truth.

Jeff Cohen and Jason Springer talk the 2nd Eagles pre-season game, the reaction of the sports community to the tragic events in Charlottesville this past week, the Sixers schedule being released and the 2nd part of our interview w Dr. Benet Omalu talking youth contact sports and whether you should let your children play.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with Dr. Bennet Omalu. He was in New York Monday, August 7, to give a presentation at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in New York, and hosted by the New York Press Club, about his new book, Truth Doesn't Have a Side. Dr. Omalu is the pioneering forensic pathologist who was the first to prove a connection between the head trauma and brain injuries which inherently result from playing American football, and the disease CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy. We spoke with him right after this presentation, and mainly about why he included wrestling in his list of high-contact sports which children under the age of 18 should avoid, which are football, boxing, MMA, ice hockey, and rugby. A study published September 2015 in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that college wrestling has the highest rate of concussions of any college sport, including football. But as to rules changes in wrestling to make it safer, Dr. Omalu said, "I tend to defer to the sports experts, because I'm not an expert in many of these sports." Dr. Omalu, however, sees wrestling's problems as being far deeper than just the levels of head trauma and brain injuries. "The problem with wrestling is," he said, "there's no professional wrestling outside WWE. "So if you, say, allow wrestling in children, that means you're encouraging children eventually to go into MMA or WWE. Does that make sense? So that is why I lump all of them together, because I see it as a spectrum." In addition to his comments on the combat and contact sports, we add commentaries on some of the issues related to CTE, concussions, and combat sports. Those include the prevalence of concussions in judo, breaking the links between real wrestling and grappling and both WWE and MMA, the need for combat sports training for self-defense, and much, much more.

"The Pride of Camden" undefeated boxer Vidal Rivera joined the Heart of Sports in Studio and then hear part 1 of the interview Dr. Bennet Omalu, the doctor who discovered CTE and was the basis for the character played by WIll Smith in the movie Concussion.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman presents the complete audio from the August 7 presentation by Dr. Bennet Omalu at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in New York, and hosted by the New York Press Club, as well as the informative and lively question-and-answer session which followed the presentation. Dr. Omalu is the pioneering forensic pathologist who was the first to prove a connection between the head trauma and brain injuries which inherently result from playing American football, and the disease CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy. He was in New York conducting interviews as part of a tour to promote his new book, Truth Doesn't Have a Side. In the discussion, Dr. Omalu passionately voiced his opposition to children under the age of 18 playing American football or engaging in other contact sports. "Do you love your child less than you love football? Which do you love more, football, or the life of your child? This is a question society should answer," he said. As to the continuing popularity of NFL football, he said, "It's all about money. We are placing money above the value of the life of our children. But I believe strongly, in the fullness of time, it will change, because the truth will prevail. Does that make sense?" And he specified, "I have always said, and it has been my position forever, that no child under the age of 18, in America today, should play the high-impact, high-contact collision sports. The Big Six are American football, ice hockey, mixed martial arts, wrestling, boxing, rugby." A one-on-one interview with Dr. Omalu will be posted on a subsequent edition of No Holds Barred.
