Interesting Conjecture: Anavex Concussion Treatment

So, could an Anavex molecule easily (orally administered, easily crossing the blood/brain barrier) rather immediately and effectively treat athletic and other concussions?

Inasmuch as these are almost entirely neurological injuries, where nerves and their neurons fail to function properly — where homeostasis is physically disrupted — and because Anavex sigma-1 receptor agonists restore neuron function, the question should be considered.

I wouldn’t be surprised if, behind some lab doors somewhere some post-doc is carefully concussing some lab mice or rats, then putting some milligrams of an Anavex sigma-1 receptor agonist in the rodents’ drinking water.

As with so many other new, innovative Anavex applications, ponder the significance of this. “Hey, kid, get off the field. Jones, get in there and take Billy’s left guard position.”

The high school kid staggers off the field after a hard blow to his head, but a small bottle of Anavex No-ConCuss drink is swallowed, and the kid stays out of the rest of the game.

On Monday, he’s feeling pretty normal, and resumes smashing guys (and getting smashed) at left guard.

No chronic, developing debilities from the kid’s football concussions, neither while in high school, nor in his college or NFL playing years. He remains cognitively adroit his entire years.

The Anavex product, “No-ConCuss” saves tackle football.

NFL, give Anavex a research grant on this.
