I know a lot about stroke because I had one three years ago. You should go to my blog and read the articles. Many of them are about stroke.
Stroke is to the brain what a heart attack is to the heart. It is an interruption of blood to the brain resulting in hypoxia. The most important thing is to reverse the conditions which led to the stroke in the first place. In America more than 100,000 people die of stroke per year.
Once a person has a stroke the brain goes into shock. Some brain cells die and others become dormant. This means the survivor will have paralysis. As the brain wakes back up the nervous system will begin to function again. But until this happens there could be problems with walking, talking, eating, thinking, seeing and emotions. I am sure you noticed many of these symptoms.
Drugging the survivor is a huge mistake in my opinion. What the survivor needs is to move and rest. The survivor needs to eliminate any foods that cause digestive problems. The survivor needs to be sure to be getting the 90+ vitamins and minerals especially the following on a daily basis in the most absorpable form:
Protein from Whey Powder or Hemp seed Powder
Glysine, Lysine
Cod liver oil and flax seed oil
Coconut oil
Vitamins D,E,A,K,C, CoQ10, B Complex
Niacin and Thiamine
Alpha Lipoic Acid
L. Carnitine
L. Arginine
Taurine
Glutamine
Glutothione
Sulfur or MSM
Selenium
Eat brown sea weed from a reliable health food store
avoid cholesterol lowering drugs.
If the survivor eats well the blood pressure will drop naturally and no need for dangerous drugs. Vitamin E this the blood. (check out the products I sell on my website)
Stay away from sweet fruits, breads, starches, pastas, potatoes and things that spike the blood sugar. Read my articles.
