Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I would very much appreciate any information anyone can supply on this. If a person is in a car accident with damage to the back of their neck and 5-6 days later has four strokes (two of them being in the brain stem itself) possibly (probably?) due to torn veins and damaged arteries in the back of the head causing a slow bleed into the brain and / or brain stem - are there any known options other than being sent home to die. Does anyone know of an alternative medicine type option to reroute or transplant veins or even the arteries; stent-like insertion into the veins? Can parts of the brain be cut out and regenerated somehow (stem cells - whatever)? Anything? Thank you!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi Mike, Conventional surgery excels at treating physical trauma. There are alternative *supporting* therapies that can assist in recovery from trauma surgery, such as enzymes and vitamin C, mind-body work for the conscious and healing touch for those in a coma. Other than that, alternative medicine just doesn't help out much for major trauma. David mikes688 said: > I would very much appreciate any information anyone can supply on this.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 >>>>>>Does anyone know of an alternative medicine type option to reroute or transplant veins or even the arteries; stent-like insertion into the veins?>>>>>>> My husband had two stents in the vertebral arteries of his brain last August. It was done by Baylor School of Medicine doctors(I think) at Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas.....Only ten doctors in the world do this procedure at 5 hospitals......two doctors at each hospital.......I understand the two top doctors are in Houston and Paris, France........we were blessed to get the one in Houston........I talked to several people while we were there, and I think I understood they were bypassing arteries in the brain just as they do in the heart..but am not be certain of this...all of this is relatively new and we are waiting for results of maybe using a medicated stent when he needs it.....it seems the regular stents clog much quicker than the medicated ones...... I do not know the location of the other three hospitals that do this procedure..... Hope this helps..........Eloise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Does anyone have any knowledge of anything out there that can be done for " vertebral artery dissection " before any additional strokes occur or has anyone ever heard of stem cells or anything else being used to regenerate (parts of) the brain.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 A patent medicine from china called 'Yunan Bai Yao', is often used for hard to get at internal bleeding. I have seen it work many times, and it is very commonly used, and available at almost any chinese herbal or food shop. Seriously, give it a try and take double amount suggested. I don't know if it can cross the blood brain barrier but some of it may. mikes688 <mikes688 wrote:Does anyone have any knowledge of anything out there that can be done for " vertebral artery dissection " before any additional strokes occur or has anyone ever heard of stem cells or anything else being used to regenerate (parts of) the brain.
