My dad 72 years old, and recently got ischemic stroke right after coronary artery bypass graft surgery at IJN.

17 March - CABG surgery.
19 March - got CT scan result, diagnosed with ischemic stroke, cant move at all, cant speak, tube feeding.
25 March - able to move right hand and head slowly, but still cant speak and tube feeding.
27 march - transferred out from ICU ward, to HDU ward.

until today no any significant improvement on his condition. right now he still cant speak and eating using tube.

i want to ask, beside stroke rehabilitation at hospital, is there any way to help on his recovery at home?
such as supplement, equipment, or therapy.


i bought some supplement for my dad, but i have wait for him back home before i can give it to him, right now he still in HDU ward at IJN.
i bought Fish Oil for DHA and Citicoline, does those supplement i bought can help with ischemic stroke recovery? afraid those supplement could worsen his condition.

Citicoline not available at shopee or lazada, had to buy from iherb shipped from USA.

DId they give your father rTPA ?

Citicoline has long been used as
a drug in Europe and Russia for ischemic stroke, usually intravenously or intraperitoneally,
togeher with rTPA (recombinant
tissue plasminogen activator) .

However, lt should be given in the
first 24 hours.


" Early reopening of the occluded artery is, thus, important in ischemic stroke, and it has been calculated that 2 million neurons die every minute in an ischemic stroke if no effective therapy is given; therefore, "Time is Brain." "


The effects of citicoline on acute ischemic stroke: a review

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24739589/


The studies are all here.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=CITIC...ISCHEMIC+STROKE


You could still give it to your father.

Start with a low dose, say 250 mg
every two days.

Add in, over time -

Pterostilbene
Resveratrol
Astaxanthin
Tocopherol nicotinate (Hijuven)


I saw Vita citicoline in Multicare
Pharmacy in Seapark, expensive.

The most important thing about recovering from Stroke is the body's blood circulation. It's MCO again now, if not I would recommend to find a acupuncturist specializing in Stroke patients. Otherwise, I have a product (not for consumption) that will help with the body's blood circulation and proven to improve many medical issues to do with circulation. PM me for more info.
