At the age of 75 learned Rick Springfield Still new things about itself. Like the fact that a fall that he suffered 25 years ago, still has an effect in the form of a brain damage. In a recent interview with Peeple the musician went into the results of his youngest full body MRI scan, which revealed the ongoing effects.
“I fell from a height of 7.6 meters. I struck my head. Then wood fell on me and hit my head. And then my head fell on the stage again, ”said Rick Springfield. “I thought I had only broken my wrist. But on the scan I found out that I suffered a brain damage from the fall. So I am working on fixing that. “
The fall occurred during a appearance by Springfield in Las Vegas in 2000. At that time it was in theater production for several years “EFX” To see that was performed in the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.
LSD better than ketamine
At the beginning of this year, Springfield announced that he recently tried ketamine therapy for the treatment of depression. “I wanted to see if it opens a few things in my brain,” he said Peeple. He preferred his experience with LSD. But he found the greatest success in the control of his alcohol consumption. Rick Springfield: “That actually helped me more than anything.”
Springfield is open to everything that works. This is one of the reasons why he tries to stay up to date on all medical diagnoses. “My father died because he didn’t want to know,” he said. “He thought for years that he had stomach cancer. And never let it examine it. When he collapsed at home one day, they found that it was a burst ulcer. He died of blood loss. It could have been healed if he had examined it. “
He added: “It was a huge message to me. If you want to live for a long time, you have to be prepared for bad news from time to time. I could find out tomorrow that I have cancer in the final stage. Be dead in a year. But I can do anything that is in my power. “
