> " I have a friend who has suffered a stroke (about 3 months ago)

>and has lost much of the use of her right side (arm, leg, etc). Is

>there something that can be done to restore some or all of the

>control of these areas? "

>

> " Oxygen, " says a member named Jerry. " Get her into a hyperbaric

>oxygen chamber as soon as possible. The sooner the better. The

>loss of motor control can be reversed with just a few treatments. "

>And a member named Jo suggests: " Acupuncture helps to restore

>muscle and nerve function after strokes. Treatment should, ideally,

>begin two weeks following the stroke, for best results. It can start

>any time after that, of course, but the results may not be quite so

>good. "

>

>Gerry suggests that a long-chain fatty alcohol called octacosanol

>(found in sugar cane and wheat germ) may reverse stroke

>paralysis, and adds that an acquaintance regained normal function

>of paralyzed limbs after several weeks of taking tienchi – a type of

>ginseng.

>

>A member named Adria writes, " I have a friend, 69; she had stroke

>3 1/2 years ago & everything is slowly getting worse. Could these

>supplements help after so long a time? " To which Gerry replies, " I

>would not put a time limit on the body's ability to recover. I think

>we've been severely underestimating the body's ability to heal. "

>

>Gerry pops up frequently in this thread. And when a member

>named Randee mentions that she had " amazing " results in

>relieving paralysis by using Emotional Freedom Techniques

>(EFT), Gerry notes that EFT is a form of acupressure, which he has

>used to improve his eyesight. (EFT can be used to address a

>number of chronic health problems.)

>

>A member named Rolf explains how he helped reduce a friend's

>paralysis with a four-step plan that consisted of a potent

>vitamin/mineral antioxidant formula, fish oil, coenzyme Q10, and

>grape seed extract.

>

>A tincture of cayenne may help stroke victims, according to a

>member who identifies himself with the initials MDS. He writes,

> " My dad (now 100) had a stroke about 12 years ago, and took

>some cayenne pepper in some water, drank it down. The next day

>when an MRI was done, they found the vessel in his brain where

>the clot had swelled the vessel slightly, but the clot was gone. He

>had some speech therapy for awhile, due to a weakness in his jaw,

>but now has no residual effects. " MDS adds that cayenne needs to

>be used, " either during a stroke or within the first two or three

>hours to minimize cellular damage to the brain. "

>

>A member named Tressa suggests other therapies that might be

>useful when taken immediately after a stroke, including,

>nattokinase, aspirin, and DMSO. But Gerry cautions: " I would

>doubt the effectivity of aspirin. In fact, it might cause more harm. "

>And that opinion is confirmed by a study examined in the e-Alert

> " Double-Edged Wonder " that I sent you earlier this week (see

>Wednesday, below).
