Quiet Explosions - the documentary

One hundred and fifty-four veterans commit suicide each week. Quiet Explosions is the story of Special Forces Green Beret, Andrew Marr, who returned home from his third deployment, a quietly broken man. The high-ranking explosives expert suffered a multitude of traumatic brain injuries after being “front and center” to hundreds if not thousands of detonations in Afghanistan.
 
Issued thirteen mind-altering medications including narcotics by the VA, Marr continued to suffer fatigue, depression, panic anxiety, disorientation, memory loss, depression, and chronic pain. His favorite bedtime companions, whiskey and a loaded shotgun, almost destroyed him and his family. When it was almost too late, he found Dr. Mark Gordon, Neuroendocrinologist, who developed a safe treatment protocol for TBI with or without PTSD. Their work has been helping veterans and civilians through their Warrior Angels Foundation and the Millennium-TBI Project.
 
An estimated 2.1 million people--military and others--sustain a TBI annually. The science used to develop this treatment is behind why conventional protocols have failed and why this very specific kind of healing, can alter the course of people's lives forever. This documentary film is not to be missed. Based upon Andrew and Adam Marrs' best seller - Tales from the Blast Factory(link).
