I bet your doctor will never give you a stroke protocol that contains red wine. Do not self-prescribe.

Resveratrol binds with the KSRP regulator protein and provides for its activation / Publication in Nucleic Acids Research
A natural substance present in red wine, resveratrol, inhibits the
formation of inflammatory factors that trigger cardiovascular diseases.
This has been established by a research team at the Department of
Pharmacology of the University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg
University of Mainz (JGU) working in collaboration with researchers of
the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and the University of Vienna.
Their results have recently been published in the scientific journal
Nucleic Acids Research.
Despite the fact that they eat more fatty foods, the French tend to
less frequently develop cardiac diseases than Germans. This so-called
French Paradox is attributed to the higher consumption of red wine in
France and it has already been the subject of various studies in the
past. A number of research projects have actually demonstrated that the
natural product resveratrol, present in red wine, has a protective
effect against cardiovascular diseases. But what exactly is the reason
for this? It seems that at least part of the protective effect can be
explained by the fact that resveratrol inhibits the formation of
inflammatory factors, a conclusion reached by the research team of
Junior Professor Andrea Pautz and Professor Hartmut Kleinert of the
Mainz University Medical Center following collaboration in a joint
project with Professor Oliver Werz of the Friedrich Schiller University
in Jena and Professor Verena Dirsch of the University of Vienna. In
fact, the researchers discovered that the natural substance binds to the
regulator protein KSRP and activates it. KSRP reduces the stability of
messenger RNA (mRNA) in connection with a number of inflammatory
mediators and thus inhibits their synthesis.
"We now know more precisely how resveratrol inhibits the formation of
the inflammatory factors that trigger cardiovascular diseases. This is
an important finding in view of the fact that more recent research has
shown that cardiovascular diseases are significantly promoted by
inflammatory processes in the body," said Pautz. Cardiovascular
disorders, such as myocardial infarction and strokes, frequently occur
in association with chronic inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis.
The natural substance resveratrol thus has major therapeutic potential,
particularly when it comes to the treatment of inflammatory diseases
that can cause serious damage to the cardiovascular system.
