Offers Stroke Patients an Alternative

Stroke

- Purtier Placenta offers Stroke Patients an Alternative Treatment for RecoveryStroke is a condition characterized by the interruption and reduction of blood supply to the brain. When this takes place, the brain’s sources of food and oxygen are diminished. Stroke is categorized as a medical emergency, as such it necessitates prompt and immediate treatment.

An Overview: What is Stroke?As it has been mentioned, stroke leads to the disruption of blood supply to the brain. When oxygen supply is not reestablished immediately, brain cells are damaged, which then leads to the impairment of mental and physical faculties as seen in patients with stroke.

There are two kinds of stroke. They are:

1. Ischemic Stroke – Caused by a blood clot that blocks blood vessel/s in the brain.
2. Hemorrhagic Stroke – Caused by a torn blood vessel which subsequently leads to bleeding inside the brain.

When the blood supply to the brain is temporarily ceased, mini-strokes or Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) will occur.

Causes
Strokes are caused by a variety of factors, with each leading to any of its two major categories.

1. a.     Ischemic Stroke

This category comprises 85% of the total number of cases. It is further classified into two classes, namely:

1. Thrombotic Stroke – Caused by a thrombus or a blood clot that affects any of the brain’s arteries. It is often caused by plaque (fatty deposits), and can result to atherosclerosis or reduction in blood flow to the brain.
2. Embolic Stroke – Caused by a clot that is formed in areas other than the brain, most commonly the heart. The clot, called an embolus, is brought to the brain through the bloodstream; it then blocks the narrow vessels leading to the brain.

1. b.     Hemorrhagic Stroke

1. Intracerebral Hemorrhage – Caused trauma, vascular malformation, high blood pressure and the use of blood-thinning agents. It results to blood spillage into the brain tissue, therefore causing brain damage to the affected and nearby cells.
2. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage – Usually caused by the rupture of an aneurysm, the blood spill in subarachnoid hemorrhage occupies the space between the skull and the brain. The hemorrhage causes the erratic dilation and narrowing of arteries, therefore leading to reduced blood flow to the brain and subsequent cell damage.

Diagnosing
In order to manage your case as accurately as possible, your physician will have to determine the type of stroke that you have by subjecting you to the following diagnostic tests:

• Physical Examination – This routine test requires you to answer specific questions about your condition, such as the symptoms you are experiencing, when they took place, and what you were doing when you noticed them. A review of the medications you have taken will be included as well. A physical exam will also cover the auscultation of your neck arteries for the presence of bruits, which might indicate atherosclerosis. Opthalmoscopy might also be done in order to check for the presence of clots or crystals behind your eyes.
• Blood Tests – Exams that determine blood components, blood sugar, blood clotting time and clinical chemistry will be obtained as well, as these can help your doctor determine the breast treatment plan for your case.
• Computerized Tomography Scan – A brain imaging scan that makes use of X-rays to visualize strokes or hemorrhages.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging – A test that utilizes magnets and radio waves to check for hemorrhage or ischemic strokes.
• Carotid Ultrasound – Visualizes the carotid arteries to check for disrupted blood flow, as well as the presence of plaques in the said vessels.
• Cerebral Angiogram – A test that involves the insertion of a catheter that provides a comprehensive view of the brain and the neck.
• Echocardiogram – A test that checks the heart through the use of sound waves. It can pinpoint the exact location of the stroke-inducing clots that could have come from the heart.

Signs and Symptoms of Stroke
Time is of the essence in managing stroke, so when you experience any of the following symptoms, you need to be brought to a hospital right away.

• Abrupt weakness or numbness of the face, the arms or the legs (one side of the body.)
• Sudden development of speech problems
• Difficulty in understanding speech
• Sudden onset of confusion
• Sudden vision difficulties in one or both eyes
• Difficulty in walking and coordination
• Dizziness and loss of balance
• Abrupt headaches without any underlying cause

Prevention
Stroke is caused by a variety of factors. If you are at risk of suffering from this condition, you can avoid it by making these lifestyle modifications:

• Eat foods low in cholesterol and saturated fat, as these can lead to plaque buildup. Instead, consume fruits and vegetables.
• Stop smoking, as it can increase your stroke risk, as well as those who inhale secondhand smoke.
• Watch your weight.
• Exercise regularly.
• Control your blood pressure. Eating right, exercising, managing stress and decreasing sodium intake are just some of the many activities that can help you keep a normal BP range.
• Control your diabetes through exercise, proper diet and medication compliance.
• Drink alcoholic beverages moderately.
• Do not use illegal drugs and substances.

Conventional Treatment Methods
Because of the breakthrough researches and the medical advancements related to stroke, mortalities related to this disorder are on the decline. Here are several breakthrough treatments and medications that aid in stroke management:

1. Ischemic Stroke

• Thrombolytics such as Aspirin and Tissue Plasminogen Activator, which should be given within 4 ½ hours from the onset of stroke.
• Mechanical Clot Removal.
• Carotid Endarterectomy, or the removal of plaques from the carotid arteries.
• Angioplasty, which involves the insertion of stents that keep dilate narrowed arteries.

1. Hemorrhagic Stroke

• Medications that repeal the effects of anti-platelet drugs.
• Medications that lower blood pressure in the brain.
• Medications that prevent seizures.
• Surgical Clipping, or the placement of a clip at the aneurysm base.
• Endovascular Embolization, or the introduction of coils that promote blood flow blockage and clotting within the aneurysm.
• Surgical AVM Removal, a procedure that removes small arterio-venous malformations in the accessible parts of the brain.

Natural Cures
While there are many sophisticated drugs and procedures that help treat stroke, there are natural treatments that have been proven effective by numerous researches as well. They are:

1. Policosanol – A mixture of sugarcane’s waxy ingredients, policosanol is a comprehensive yet natural stroke treatment that has been proven effective in preventing blood clots and lowering cholesterol levels in the body.
2. Vinpocetine – A substance derived from Periwinkle leaves, it helps reduce the instance of residual disability in affected individuals.
3. Glycine – An amino acid that decreases the permanent physical and mental effects of stroke, when taken at least 6 hours within the first sign of the illness.

Alternative Treatment for Stroke - Purtier Placenta
Purtier Placenta is a stem cell supplement that has helped countless disease-stricken individuals with various sicknesses and health conditions nurse their body back to health through boosting their body’s ability to effect self-repair.

This bodily self-repair is known as stem cell therapy – it involves the process of introducing new adult stem cells in diseased or damaged tissue in order to treat the underlying disorder.
