Paul Ayling attacked in Hua Hin

[advocate]

I too express my sympathies.
The only good news is that he is back in the UK and hopefully has access to better medical care.

Dear BL, thank you so much for sending me the article in the Guardian.

I have read it & printed out the 9 pages of it. It sounds amazing. I will be sending the link to my daughter in law in England so she can talk to the hospital about it.
Thank you so much.
Yours Sincerly Anita .

Interesting, the use of the sedative. It is worth a try, whats the harm??

I have looked for a prospective trial--where the medication is given to a large number of patients (at least 200) in PVS and the results tabulated, but have not found one.

Good luck ANITA & PAUL.

Hang in there.

I wouldn't be too quick to claim medical care is superior in the UK. It might be free and readily available, but not necessarily better than what you can get in Thailand if you can pay for treatment. To the best of my knowledge, Thailand has a very good reputation regarding medical care, that is, if you're one of the people who can afford it.


Anyway, Anita, as others have said, don't throw in the towel. Best of luck to Paul, you, and everyone else involved.

Since the moderator edited my last reply, I will try again and back up my reply with a reference;

Have you tried massive doses of vitamin c?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C_megadosage

Vitamin C therapy has been used with great success, and has even been refered to as the "miracle vitamin"

The doses should be intrevenous, and I'll leave it to your medical practioner to administer the dose.

From Luis F M Campos, M.D.:

Concussion, traumatic brain injury & post-traumatic caphalea (headaches) unhappily are far more common than we can imagine. I suggest:

Immediately
1 - Give a lot of green tea, vitamins C & E in megadoses (2400 UI vit E/day and 3 g/day Vit C) + Resveratrol (a natural remedy) + Lipoic Acid 600 mg/ day + Coenzyme Q 100 mg/ day (antioxidants)
2 - Corticostesteroids (betametasone 5 mg/ injectable) /day (3 days) + Vitamins B1 and B12 (injectables) in high dosages
3 - Pentoxyfiline [a medication for blood circulation] (injectable in the first 3 days)
4 - Magnesium injectable (best) or oral (orotate) 500 mg/day of elemental magnesium
4 - MRI Brain & Skull
5 - Search for a good neurologist
6 - Access sites National Neurotrauma Society http://www.edc.gsph.pitt.edu/neurotrauma/

From Walter Lemmo, N.D.

While the medical work up is being performed, don't forget about using good vitamin c. Lower plasma levels of vitamin c has been correlated with more serious brain traumas: most like related to increased oxidative stresses. At the very least, the oral use of vitamin c should be implemented, however, the intravenous application would be most ideal, very easy, and safe to perform. Short IV boosters using 2000-5000mg 2-3 times per week would most likely suffice followed by continued oral dosing.


From Kit Humphrey, M.D.:

In addition to the noted vitamin C,E, fatty acids, alpha lipoic acid, magnesium, Milk thistle has been shown to have neuroprotective benefits. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/quer ... t=Abstract

As this is now a murder investigation, one can only hope that some sort of pressure will be brought to bear from the top down.
