A member asked:
Can you heal or reverse brain damage cause at birth from lack of blood and oxygen to the brain with healing foods or any break through medications?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I'm sorry: Please forgive my frankness. Charlatans prey on the desperation of handicapped people to make money. Anyone offering you "healing foods" or some magic supplement is trying to scam you. However, there are whole practices of medicine that focus on helping folks with this kind of disability -- not with the hope of cure or reversing the tissue injury, but making life easier and more enjoyable.

NO: There is no scientific evidence that any foods or medications can reverse brain damage. However there are lot of claims that herbs, vitamins, medications , hyperbaric oxygen can help, but unfortunately these are not true.
