The value of metformin and brain repair has been know for quite some time. I reported on it long ago. Even with this known value, there does not appear to be any forward movement in using metformin after a brain injury. There are some serious side effects of metformin. The most important for people with brain injuries is its tendency to cause a B-12 deficiency.

There is also similar research showing the value of progesterone in slowing or stopping the cascade of damage from a brain injury. Again, taking this knowledge and implementing a new brain injury protocol is long over-due.


Hey medical and drug industry, WE ARE EAGERLY WAITING for these therapies.
