IGF for Stroke treatment and prevention

[jurgensplurgen]

It's not a very common treatment yet, but a plethora of studies and patient outcomes show that IGF (1 and 3) administration can significantly improve the recovery of stroke victims, both in speed of recovery, and maximum functionality regained. In addition it has been shown to reinforce the structure of blood vessels in the brain, reducing the risk of both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes in the future.
Patients previously diagnosed with DVTs or arteriosclerosis can reduce their risk of a negative event by supplementing with IGF in advance, improving tone and strength of arteriole walls.

Wish I heard of this when my grandma keeled over by a stroke 20 years back...this might been the ticket to her recovery had this been well known
