Breakthrough Stroke Treatment Pioneered by Edward Tobinick M.D. and Taught at Neurological Wellness Center Results in Substantial Recovery Years After Stroke

Oh my, more puff pieces on etanercept. Read the article carefully, note the anectdotal evidence.
 That is the lowest rung on acceptable scientific proof.
 If this truly reduced TNF it would be simple to prove levels of TNF before and after, since this does not seem to be done I have to make the assumption that they don't want to know if it really provably works or not.
Because of the small sample, there is a larger chance that it may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases.[1][2] Anecdotal evidence is considered dubious support of a claim; it is accepted only in lieu of more solid evidence.

"Rarely do we see such a radical breakthrough in medical treatment as this for stroke."
"These results represent a sea change in the therapeutic possibilities for stroke and TBI patients. Our team observed first hand, rapid clinical improvement in stroke patients following this brief office treatment," said Professor Ralph.
"Dr. Ralph visited Neurological Wellness Center in Managua, Nicaragua in 2012 where he learned to preform perispinal injections," said Dr. Augusto Ramirez M.D. of Neurological Wellness Center. Neurological Wellness Center physicians began teaching perispinal injection technique for the drug Enbrel in 2010. Since then physicians, nurses and caregivers from every continent have visited the center. "We have amassed a trove of anecdotal reports confirming the efficacy of perispinally injected Enbrel for the treatment of stroke, TBI and Alzheimer's disease," said Dr. Ramirez.
