Immediate treatment comment
Dr. Baxter writes in response to my post on getting immediate care in brain injury:
Just last month I witnessed an 83 year old woman stumble and fall on her face. She wanted to go, but I kept her there, administered first aid and called paramedics. By the time she was strapped down to the back board in readiness to transport her (against her will) to the hospital, she began acting very combative. Combativeness in a victim of head trauma is a very strong sign that brain injury was sustained. You just can't tell immediately after the trauma. It is always best to take the proper precautions.
Recently, progesterone therapy has been found to have very potent anti-inflammatory effects on the brains of people that have suffered traumatic brain injury, thereby lessening the severity of the injury. This is just further evidence that there are many reasons why we all need to do all we can to promote hormone balance in ourselves and others.
Thank you for the comment.
