Vegetative state
My brother had an accident on 28th of february and he is in vegetative state since then. Doctors said they cannot say when he will awake from this state. I read an article on the internet about the treatment of parkinsons disease and the treatment of vegetative state with the carbidopa and levidopa. I found that patients have remarkable benefits from levidopa since it produces dopamine in the brain. I want give this treatment to my brother as well. Please suggest. Thanks and regards
