Treating with measures that may improve metabolic functioning of neurons in an integrated protocol
Most organ failure results in modest drops in function until over 50% of function is lost. At a certain point, even modest drops in physiologic activity result in dramatic drops in clinical function. Though less homogeneous than in other organs, clinical experience and the literature suggests a similar process occurs in the brain. The hypothesis is that by using an integrated protocol to, essentially, "tune up" neuronal function, a 5-10 % improvement in metabolic functioning may translate to significant improvement in clinical functioning. This tune-up will include "MIND": M- Metabolism-- optimizing hormonal function I- Infections-- looking for and eliminating N- Nutritional and herbal support D- Drugs- Weaning subjects off unneeded medications
