Ischemic stroke in young adults, requesting recovery and treatment advice

[GrnEggsNHam]

One of my very close friends recently suffered a stroke due to a blood clot in their brain. He lost control of the left side of his body while driving and thankfully his wife was able to grab the wheel and prevent a car accident. An ambulance was close by to respond to the 911 call and I'm hoping the paramedics diagnosed the stroke on the scene and administered tPA(clot dissolving protein), but I don't have any details at the moment. I do know that he was medevaced to a hospital within 2-3 hours of having the stroke. He is only 30 years old and plays soccer and volleyball weekly as well as cross-fit training and other activities. I'm not thinking about the why? at the moment we can do that once he's recovered.

I know that not being able to do those normal activities is going to be very hard on him. Does anyone have any advice on exercises or treatment he can do or that I or his wife can help him do? I am sure there will be a physiotherapist at the hospital but I like to get as much information as I can and I am not at the hospital after all ;)

Unfortunately work will keep me on the opposite side of the country until next Sunday. However I've SMS texted with him a little(don't want to over do it) and he's been responding with his right hand. Just thought of this and may have no meaning but he is left hand dominant and that is the side of his body that was affected. He still cannot speak as far as I know and is in the hospital. The stroke occurred on 4/18/15.

I am eternally grateful that he is ok and I know he will make a full recovery. Thank you for sharing any advice or inspirational stories that you may have. I've read a few stories online already and they are indeed encouraging.

When the body strokes, it's in need of rest. It's too soon until normal faculties begin to come back online with the body like a computer. First the checking of the systems when the body is rested enough to do so, and then the "slow" recovery and relearning if it's the memory action part of the brain that's been effected. But first is rest, no matter how much he may feel he should push, the brain is in control, not the thoughts this time. When the brain is tired, it will rest, but to repair the damaged memory cells you may want to ensure he gets coconut oil (organic) it's great for combating demetia and regrowing new cells. Good luck. I hope he's not been using those energy drinks with all that caffeine, because this is what happens when you double clutch the heart for long periods of time on stimulants, instead of natural body ability.

I strongly recommend locating a homeopathic physician who specialises in Heilkunst - sequential timeline therapy. I have literally seen miracles myself, and cannot recommend it highly enough. You don't need to find someone local. Most will work with people over skype. I think there is a directory at homeopathy.com.

He is young and has had excellent care so far so it is quite likely that he will recover well over time. (I am not a medical person but I worked with young people with brain injuries including strokes). There is every reason to be optimistic, and hopeful I think. Encourage him to exercise physically and mentally as soon as he is allowed to do so, it seems to lead to a better recovery, which may be slow, but hopefully progress well.

HBOT - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Needs to begin treatments as close to the event date as possible.

Under pressure, the concentrated oxygen levels in the blood stream are able to reach the area of the brain and begin healing by reducing the swelling. In the event if a stroke, the brain cells that die cannot be restored. HBOT targets the area around the site if injury called the penumbra zone where many cells go into a dormant state. This is the area we want to heal and hopefully restore function.

My daughter suffered a stroke at a very young age. I have seen great results with HBOT for her that have left the medical community scratching their heads.

I wish your friend a quick recovery.

These are all good suggestion. If you live near someone using a Papimi this would also be valuable.

However please check my new thread under alternative medicine regarding a system called Virtual Scanning. I am making an offer to everyone on Project Avalon with respect to doing free remote evaluations and treatment using this system until May 10. Assuming your friend can do manipulate a mouse effectively in respond to a color test we have an excellent option to treat his brain injury.

my daughter had byperbaric treatments, and even if she had it ten years after the potential injury (probaly during her birth), it still made substantial difference. I hight suggest it too. All big Professional teams (hockey NHL, football, soccer) use hyperbaric when there is player's injuries.
