Such approaches are deemed neuroprotective since they arrest glutamate before it can assassinate any more neurons."



I have found some Callcium Channel Blockers which is a class of blood pressure drugs which seems to block this "death to the neurons by Callicum" process. I am now taking one of these drugs for my high BP. It has been tested as a MS treatment and I will post that later.
