A member asked:

Is it correct as people say that opium decreases risk at the time of brain stroke emergency .?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Who says?: I have never heard anyone say this, and this is absolutely not true. Would also suggest avoiding opium, and focus on standard health approaches to prevent stroke. Talk to your family doctor and clarify what you need to do to keep yourself healthy.
