Deans' stroke musings: The Influence of Fish Oil on Neurological Development and Function

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

The Influence of Fish Oil on Neurological Development and Function

This is a job for SuperStroke Survivor, an employee of that great stroke association at the end of the Universe. All this information needs to be consolidated into an understandable stroke protocol. But no one in the medical world has enough intelligence and initiative to do this.

1. Effect of fish oil supplementation in a rat model of multiple mild traumatic brain injuries

2. Protection against brain abnormalities provided by high serum omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content

5. Forget about fish oil and multivitamins for secondary prevention of CV events

6. Meta-analysis finds no CV benefit of omega-3 fatty acids

7. Research Shows Fish Oil Component Given Up To 5 Hours After Stroke Limits Brain Damage

Wouldn't you want your doctor to know exactly what to do with fish oil? When your stroke is occurring, not 50 years from now.

Abstract

Fish oil originates from fish tissue rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Healthy individuals are advised to consume foods rich in fish oil at least twice a week. However, such intake varies depending on cultural or personal preference, and socio-economic status. Many families and patients with chronic neurological conditions consume supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids. We are frequently requested to give advice and recommendations on using such agents to help improve neurological developmental and cognitive functions. The objective of this review is to discuss the available literature supporting the role of fish oils on brain development and function. There is a growing body of literature suggesting a potential benefit of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids; however it is still unclear if there are response variations according to the developmental stage, age, and dose.
