Parkinson ’ s Patients Get More Mobility And Better Balance With Whole Body Vibration Therapy
I’ve always believed that with a little coaxing, your body can self-heal – and the same is true for your brain. Conventional doctors will never tell you this. For them, being a physician means managing symptoms with Big Pharma meds. But for years, I’ve been helping patients recover using dietary changes, lasers, stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT). These therapies help your body heal itself. No Big Pharma drug can do this. But I recently began researching another natural therapy – called Whole Body Vibration, or WBV – that can help Parkinson’s patients regain their mobility and balance. WBV isn’t new. It...

Increased Serum Levels of IL-1 β after Ischemic Stroke are Inversely Associated with Vitamin D
CONCLUSION: Ischemic stroke correlates positively with IL-1β and negatively with VitD levels. The speculated role of VitD deficiency in the evolution and severity of stroke may be justified by its role in the modification of inflammation.PMID:37431715 | DOI:10.22034/iji.2023.96384.2432

The association between arterial hypertension and menarcheal age
Arterial hypertension (AHTN) is considered the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature death. In low-income and middle-income countries, about 50  % of stroke and ischemic heart disease incidents and approximately 7.6 million deaths are secondary to AHTN [1,2]. It is not only highly prevalent but is still rapidly growing; as a result, studies estimate that by 2025 its prevalence will reach>29  % [3]. Research in Iran (2011) illustrated that the prevalence of AHTN and pre-hypertension is 25.6 % and 39.8 % in adults aged 25–70 years, respectively [4].

The patient suffered from left-sided weakness and slurred speech for one hour prior to admission. Initially, the patient was treated for acute ischemic stroke, and an intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rTPA) was prescribed. However, further investigations showed severe hyperkalemia. Hemiparesis and slurred speech improved significantly with appropriate management of hyperkalemia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case...
