Bart Goldstein was only sixteen when he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a car accident in 2001. No Stone Unturned is the saga of BartAÆs struggle to regain his life. Told from his fatherAÆs point of view, the book chronicles the familyAÆs ordeal, and flashbacks fill in BartAÆs life since he arrived from Korea at the age of five months. Considering every possibility in their search for remedies to BartAÆs catastrophic injuries, the Goldsteins explored several promising alternatives, including craniosacral, hyperbaric oxygen, sensory learning, and vision restoration therapies. BartAÆs remarkable recovery resulted from a combination of conventional medicine and alternative and emerging therapies.
TBI has now become the ôsignature injuryö for thousands of wounded warriors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; this timely book offers profound insights into what survivors and their families must face. Anyone struggling with this ôinvisibleö disability will find the book insightful, inspiring, and useful.
