HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2022
- Steve Thompson is a former England rugby player and he played in every England match during the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
But today, age 43, Steve remembers nothing about that final. And in 2020 he was diagnosed with early-onset dementia - and probable chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
In today’s episode Krishnan talks to him about his diagnosis, the impact it’s had on his mental health and his memoir, ‘Unforgettable’.

This is a life changing interview.
Love and support to you and your family.🥰
That quote from Steve's in the thumbnail almost makes me want to cry. Fabulous player, so sorry for what he's having to go through.
Oh just found this interview.... Just a HUGE thank you and your family for keeping us all up to date with what is going on in your lives. It's a horrid condition that is not obvious to folk...
What you are doing will hopefully bring about much needed change to the game to make sure players are safe . Yes ..Rugby is the best game on earth BUT we must make sure it's NOT at the risk of health problems ! Well done youg man ! LUV YER !!
Please go to schools and share your story, we need this so much
Really good interview and moving.
Such an inspirational man, thank you!
Such a lovely and interesting interview!
It's not CET but CTE Krish, and it can only be diagnosed after death.
As Steve says in fairness "probable" CTE. We are all with you Steve, fair play to you.
I have left side brain damage. Short term memory and spoken language, in and out, is fucked. This moment is all that is happening. Cry, it's grief. Grief is inordinately powerful. When you reach the end there are a few things that are valuable to you. This makes life worth it. X
Thanks for this video. Im going to buy your book. Thanks for sharing your story, I’m sure it is helping thousands of people.
I played soccer for twenty years and I’m now wondering about heading the ball thousand of times and the damage it has done.maybe I’m not crazy.🙏🏼😎🏉⚽️🏈🥰
....don't worry, anyone who played soccer doesn't have much to damage anyway..😝
I'm in SA listening to your interview. It breaks my heart. Your kids are so young. Dr Bredesen says start treatment early.
In a village of SA, I was astounded that they had 3 copies of "End of Alzheimers"
A healthy gut is a healthy brain. Medicine wants to give one silver bullet ( drug) Dr Bredesen says there could be 36 causes.
Anyone else got no sound?
Yap
Yeah
Same
Working ok on my android. Humm..
Dam 😢 💔

I don't know whether this will get to Steve but I want him to know that there's hope. There's physical, dietary choices je can make to buy him additional time:
Extra virgin coconut oil.
Turmeric and black pepper tea (make it yourself).
Panax ginseng.
Lions mane.
Black seed oil, extra virgin.
Drink more water.
Blue berries, walnuts, spinach.
Quit sugar. Look at ketogenic diet.
But please do your research for yourself.
Look at rugby league, compare it. Less contact episodes, less physical scrums, less head injury.
im sure there are massive amounts of CTE in League lol just wait and see the players come out
Too many knocks to the head
This video is silent i can't hear a word he is saying

It works on an iPhone maybe try updating your RUclips app or another browser
I can hear it all on my android. 😳

Pretentious title alert.
Ryan Jones the Welsh rugby team past captain has been diagnosed this week, too. Something needs to be done. Or do we consider it just like boxing?
Andrew Lawrence - You Tube
Soundless
1G and 2G phones anyone? Add heads knocks on top then...

Look up nano particals and borax research
No to vaccine passports, mandates or lockdowns
I just watched a video of Uighurs in Xinjiang and was shocked by level of affluence and prosperity.
Urumqi, Xinjiang provincial capital, is more modern and larger than New York City and London and their living standards better than Brits'.🇨🇳
In one word describe the Chinese state...
