I know this sounds illegal but read what this does.

Blood doping
Cobalt salts such as cobalt chloride can apparently be used to boost
athletic performance. When dissolved into our body liquids, cobalt ions
activate a molecular pathway that is otherwise turned on when our
tissues aren't getting enough oxygen (i.e. hypoxia). This pathway leads
to increased production of the protein erythropoietin (EPO), which in
turn acts to increase the number of red blood cells available to move
oxygen around our bodies (erythropoiesis). So cobalt essentially tricks
our body into making more red blood cells. While cobalt salts have been
explored as a means of treating anemia (not having enough red blood
cells), it appears that some athletes and horse trainers are using it to
try and gain an advantage. The deliberate enhancement of red blood cell
numbers for purposes other than healing is known as blood doping. This
can facilitate things like running really fast or far by ensuring there
is more oxygen to support the involved muscles. As it hasn't been well
studied, it's not clear exactly how much of an impact cobalt has on
athletic performance. Nevertheless, cobalt salts are cheap, easy to
acquire, and don't need to be injected, so their non-medical use is
expected to continue.
Sounds a hell of a lot cheaper and easier than using HBOT. What do we need to do to get a research scientist to prove this one way or the other? Would this be enough to save the damaged neurons from going down the drain? Or will this fall thru the cracks like every other research idea of stroke in the last 50 years? Proving once again that we can't wait for that great stroke association to get going.
