It’s hard to overstate what a fix for CTE would mean for football. More than ten years after the disease was first found in the brain cells of a prematurely dead former lineman, awareness of its risks is now widespread; earlier this year, 4,500 former NFL players sued the league for allegedly hiding the dangers of head trauma.

-If, and that is a big "if", this procedure has the ability to cure or effectively treat CTE, it stands to reason that it will have a number of practical applications outside of just injured football players. How can this doctor and the NFL justify keeping the treatment "secret" or "proprietary?" -Unethical at best and fraud at the worst.
