Gronk claims you can heal CTE (and he healed his). A Neurologist chimed in on Gronks Twitter.

You are right about brain plasticity, and I am glad you are feeling great today, but neurodegenerative diseases (CTE, Alzheimer's, etc.) cannot be "fixed" or cured today. They eventually win. Please come on over to the BU brain bank next week and we can discuss the nuances.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

my understanding is they cant even prove you have CTE until after you are dead.

Dr Gronk...that has a nice ring to it ...like that fuckhead Dr Oz...they could peddle snake oil together on Oprah....

 

[jarntt]

How can you not love Gronk

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Gronk would be a good anti-vaxxer, telling PhDs how wrong they are about their field while citing anecdotes is definitely #Owning them.

 

[The Derski]

Lol gotta love the Gronkster

Correct, as of now, the only 100% effective means of identifying CTE is by removing the brain from the skull and dissecting it.

Scans are not as reliable in confirming

I'm not a twitter follower but that is the first tweet I have ever seen that looks completely grammatically correct. He should be proof reading for Trump. (I would say he could proof read for AB, but a former All Pro deserves an easier job)

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I do know there is some brain things they are researching using I believe hyperbaric chambers. (could be wrong on the process) Think they used Joe Namath as a guinea pig & improved his quality of life in some way.

Racist doctors only healing white CTE?

 

[gob]

The cure is alcohol and coke? Who knew..

Dammit man good call on Dr. Gronk. Was thinking of saying something like that.

Gronk in training for next years Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest.

 

[Manster7588]

So does this clear the NFL of any possible CTE law suits by Gronk in the future?

 

[Battlelyon]

Yeah, it didn't work

 

[Boglodyte]

Gronk is so eaten up with CTE, he doesn’t even know he had it.

denial is one step in the process of grief
