Causes of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries occur due to a very wide range of conditions, illnesses, and injuries. Possible causes of widespread brain damage include birth hypoxia,^[4] prolonged hypoxia (shortage of oxygen), poisoning by teratogens (including alcohol), infection, and neurological illness. Brain tumors increase intracranial pressure, causing brain damage. Chemotherapy can cause brain damage to the neural stem cells and oligodendrocyte cells that produce myelin. Common causes of focal or localized brain damage are physical trauma (traumatic brain injury, stroke, aneurysm, surgery, other neurological disorder), and poisoning from heavy metals including mercury and its compounds of lead. Vascular disorders of the brain disrupt the flow of blood to the brain, resulting in a lesion called an infarct. Vascular disorders of the brain include thrombosis, embolisms, angiomas, aneurysms, and cerebral arteriosclerosis.

Brain lesions are sometimes intentionally inflicted during neurosurgery, such as the carefully placed brain lesion used to treat epilepsy and other brain disorders. These lesions are induced by excision or by electric shocks (electrolytic lesions) to the exposed brain or commonly by infusion of excitotoxins to specific areas.^[5]

Management

Various professions may be involved in the medical care and rehabilitation of someone suffering impairment after a brain injury. Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and physiatrists are physicians specialising in treating brain injury. Neuropsychologists (especially clinical neuropsychologists) are psychologists specialising in understanding the effects of brain injury and may be involved in assessing the severity or creating rehabilitation strategies. Occupational therapists may be involved in running rehabilitation programs to help restore lost function or help re-learn essential skills. Registered nurses, such as those working in hospital intensive care units, are able to maintain the health of the severely brain-injured with constant administration of medication and neurological monitoring, including the use of the Glasgow Coma Scale used by other health professionals to quantify extent of orientation.

Physiotherapists also play a significant role in rehabilitation after a brain injury. In the case of a traumatic brain injury (TBIs), physiotherapy treatment during the post-acute phase may include: sensory stimulation, serial casting and splinting, fitness and aerobic training, and functional training.^[6] Sensory stimulation refers to regaining sensory perception through the use of modalities. There is no evidence to support the efficacy of this intervention.^[7] Serial casting and splinting are often used to reduce soft tissue contractures and muscle tone. Evidence based research reveals that serial casting can be used to increase passive range of motion (PROM) and decrease spasticity.^[7] Studies also report that fitness and aerobic training will increase cardiovascular fitness; however the benefits will not be transferred to the functional level.^[8] Functional training may also be used to treat patients with TBIs. To date, no studies supports the efficacy of sit to stand training, arm ability training and body weight support systems (BWS).^[9][10] Overall, studies suggest that patients with TBIs who participate in more intense rehabilitation programs will see greater benefits in functional skills.^[8] More research is required to better understand the efficacy of the treatments mentioned above.

Other treatments for brain injury include medication, psychotherapy, neuropsychological rehabilitation, snoezelen, surgery, or physical implants such as deep brain stimulation.

Source: Diet for Parkinson and Alzheimer’s

Many seniors stock up their pantries with canned foods and other foods that are riched in preservatives, sugar and salt.  They have been accustomed to processed meat and other foods that can easily be cooked.  A complete overhaul of their diet is needed to bring their body back to one that is full of energy and cleansed with many unhealthy processed foods.

Whole foods, unprocessed for Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons

Here are a list of foods in order of importance:

Fermented veggies or pickled veggies

Apple cider vinegar can be used to make pickled veggies creating a microbiome in our gut conducive to healthy gut and preventing bad microbes from travelling to our brain.

Avoid acidic medications thinning out our tissues

When OTC meds/drugs are ingested, they increase the acidity of our blood and can thin out our tissues and cells allowing the passage of microbes or virus from our gut and blood to our brain causing Parkinson’s and Alzheimers.

Avoid foods prepared with metals like aluminum and other heavy metals/toxins

Toxins and heavy metals can be found in burned BBQ, aluminum foil and cookware, gases/fumes from the environment, tooth fillings and others. Add cilantro, greens and lemon in your food to help detox.

Whole foods and unprocessed foods

The frequency of energy is greater in whole foods than canned/processed foods. Select Alaskan Salmon over Tilapia farmed fish. Go to the farmer’s market or washed your veggies with salt water or diluted vinegar.

Avoid Aspartame and sugar

Do use a little of maple syrup and make your own fruit sugar. Sugar is food for cancer cells.

Add anti-inflammatory foods such as Ginger and turmeric

Ginger, turmeric, garlic, onions, lemon grass and all sulfur rich (yellow colored) foods are cleansing.

Vitamin B for memory loss prevention

 

Dept. of Health and Social Services and you as care provider for your aging parent

Contact your Dept. of Health and Social Services, if you are caring for your elderly parents to get support as a provider of in home care from $500 or more per month and get medical benefits too.  Also get a letter from her/his doctor of the need for an in-home care since your parent need not be alone at home.
