I want to help a friend who has had a stroke,so can anyone tell me where to start?

She lives in another country and I sometimes buy nutritional products for her .I now need some nutritional products for her brain.Any thoughts?They need to be natural and organic.

She can't move,can't speak and is fed thru a feeding tube.But is VERY AWARE of her surroundings.

just be a good friend, visit often, talk to her about whats happening with you and any mutual people, get her interested in life.
throw her a party, think of something that she would like and do it.

Are you talking about natural products to FEED her? If she is in a nursing home, they will not allow you to put anything into her feeding tube. Visiting her if you can, sending her tapes to listen to, making audio tapes of your memories of your times together that she can listen to all will help her pass the time each day.

If she is in a home or hospital then don't mess with her food. They are probably not going to give it to her. They will have her diet all figured out with calories and sugars and all those things taken into consideration.

Her meds might not react well to certain things so natural stuff doesn't always mean safe.

Therapy, repitition and love are what she needs right now. Send your prayers, cassets or cd's of you talking to her, reading to her.

When she is off the tube then you can get with her and talk to the doc about natural stuff that is safe and good for her to eat.
