Subject: PERIASTRON reports on lots of such drugs

FOR Doug Skrecky!

PERIASTRON reports on drugs which protect against stroke or any other
kind of injury to our brain, and this includes drugs given both before
and after the injury. I would agree that such treatments should be 
part of the protocol involved in suspending someone. I suspect that 
other drugs do as well, but would have to look back through the back
issues of PERIASTRON to find them. 

I will add, though, that the most interesting drug acting against
brain damage was one I printed up about 1 year ago. It suggested that
any drug dealing with oxygen would cease to work after about 1hr
at room temperature, but found another system (and a drug inhibiting
it) which worked for much longer, after all the drugs working on our
normal oxygen metabolism would have failed. I'm awaiting further 
reports from the lab that found this post-oxygen decomposing metabolism
and how to stop it (I wrote to them at one point, so far no reply).
The periods I am discussing here, of course, of those in which 
oxygen and blood supply has been cut off, not just those after it
is returned.

Naturally I may report on this paper, depending on how it fits into
the next issue. For obvious reasons, I can hardly report on a paper
before it appears.

              Best wishes and long long life to all,

                  Thomas Donaldson
