FURTHER RESEARCH


As everyone who reads me here knows very well both that I'm not a MD and that my evaluation of medicine is very low, in fact I've been calling it the "guess science".
However, since I spend entire days in front of my PC that enjoys an internet connection at the speed of light I can't stop to Google search anything that has to do with the repair of the brain, once injured.
Well, I put here in orange a couple of blogs like mine about new medications or therapeutic opportunities directly focused on the brain once it isn't in top conditions, due to injury or age.

You are also going to see in my (usual) green links that the main subject is the amazing (and still not fully understood) neuroplasticity of our brain that, even when injured is able to re-wire itself around (and bypassing) the injured or dead parts, or neurons.
The primary question - as the medical ignorant that I am - is about these (new to me) medications named Centrophenoxine, N-acetyl-cysteine and Deprenyl that are said to help cognitive improvements that are mostly related to aging.
Now, my "old question" already asked to several MD and neurologists comes back: why can't I try (famous key verb in medicine) to use medications normally given to Alzheimer's patients, to which I must add, why can't I try perispinal Enbrel, given that's being pushed very hard to treat this aging related disease?
I know already the answer that all the experienced guess scientists will give me, but at least I'd like to hear someone giving a rational and factual (based on facts) explanation of the reason why I can't even try and I must remain sitting on a wheelchair all alone in a single room, without any money 24/7 since about (only) 10 years.
Here you go enjoy my video and links to neuroplasticity.
