Well, since this has been around for years why the hell doesn't someone actually create protocols on stroke recovery? Why, because there aren't two functioning neurons anywhere in the stroke medical world!
Earlier research has this line:The drug, which is cheaply available for just $0.16 a day, works by boosting the number of oxygen molecules released into a cell, which in turn seems to benefit the robustness and longevity of the body’s basic building blocks. (This would seem to be much easier and faster than HBOT. I'm requesting this at my next stroke, my doctor won't know what hit her when I tell her how to treat me.)
If your doctor doesn't know about this s/he IS COMPLETELY FUCKING INCOMPETENT? And not creating protocols is even worse, allowing millions to billions of neurons to die because of lack of oxygen during the neuronal cascade of death!

Metformin Use Linked to Lower Risk for Dementia, Death in Adults With Overweight, Obesity
Yu-Liang Lin, M.D., from Taipei Medical University in Taiwan, and colleagues conducted a multicenter cohort study to investigate whether metformin use was associated with a lower long-term incidence of dementia and all-cause mortality in patients with overweight or obesity. The analysis included electronic health record data from the TriNetX network, consisting of 132,920 patients with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 kg/m2, 142,723 with a BMI 30 to 34.9 kg/m2, 94,402 with a BMI of 35 to 39.9 kg/m2, and 82,732 with a BMI >40 kg/m2. Propensity score matching was used to compare adults in each BMI group prescribed metformin to matched controls who were not prescribed metformin.
The researchers found that during 10 years of follow-up, metformin users showed significantly lower risks for both dementia and all-cause mortality versus controls. Risk for dementia was lower across each BMI group (hazard ratios [HRs], 0.875, 0.917, 0.878, and 0.891, respectively). A similar trend was seen for the risk for all-cause mortality (HRs, 0.719, 0.727, 0.717, and 0.743, respectively).
“In this large, multicenter cohort study, metformin use was associated with reduced risks of dementia and all-cause mortality in obese patients. The protective effect was observed across all BMI groups, with variations noted by population,” the authors write. “These findings support the potential of metformin in lowering dementia risk in patients with obesity. Further studies are needed to explore the underlying mechanisms.”
