Should we be getting young blood and young gut bacteria to help our recovery? Whom is going to write up a stroke protocol on this? This will never get done because we have NO stroke leadership or strategy. You, your children and grandchildren will be screwed when the next stroke occurs.

Restoring microorganisms in the gut to a youthful age was linked to
improved stroke recovery in old mice, according to a new study presented
at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference
2016.
Noting that different bacteria present in the gut change with age,
researchers from the University of Connecticut in Mansfield,
Connecticut, used fecal transplants to deliver a “young” set of bacteria
to mice that were 18 to 20 months old as well as to mice just 3 or 4
months old, while another group of mice received an “aged” set of
bacteria in each of those two age groups. The mice were first given an
antibiotic to suppress their own microbial makeups and allow the new
sets of gut bacteria to flourish.
Follow-up behavioral and neurological tests showed that older mice
with “young” sets of bacteria recovered from the induced stroke better
than their peers with “aged” bacteria. Meanwhile, death rates after the
stroke were particularly high — exceeding 50 percent — in young mice
with “aged” bacterial makeups, researchers said.
