Hello Aaron,
Acute TBI if much more responsive to treatment than chronic TBI. My therapy includes supplements and peptides. Unfortunately, one of the tools that was effective was Cerebrolysin but that is not being compounded in any US pharmacies.
Acute Protocol: Supplements: Magnesium threonate ( specific for brain absorption), Creatine monohydrate 5mg daily ( passes BBB and serves as energy source), Ashwagandha 500mg QHS ( modulate cortisol), Alpha GPC or Phosphatidyl Choline, BodyBio Balance oil ( both are anti-inflammatory and basic nutrient source) . Peptides: BPC 157- 500mcg PO BID for 30 days, Synapsin with naltrexone -two sprays to each nostril daily ( nonpeptide to reduce the acute glial inflammation from trauma ) , P21 4 sprays to each nostril daily , Dihexa 40-50mg PO Daily 14 days. If their gut is not healthy, add Butyrate to the mix.
Chronic Protocol: If their HA, light/sound sensitivity, have improved I use that an indicator that the inflammtion is improving and will not use the Synapsin, but will add Quicksilver Scientific’s NAD Gold 4 pumps SL BID. The protocol is more prolonged and more dependent on treatment response because the improvements in chronic TBI are slower. I use fatigue, chronic pain, mood, memory, and focus to gauge these.
If available, I recommend they use a NeuroFeedback center in conjuntion with this treatment.
Hope this helps,
Abid
