Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

caffeine and stroke/alzheimers risk

I was having an Q&A at a stroke forum on Alzheimers and the worry was getting it and what possibly could prevent that from happenning. I responded with this research.

Caffeine Treats Alzheimer's?

This just came in.
Upping your coffee intake 'doubles the risk of a stroke'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1337684/Upping-coffee-intake-doubles-risk-stroke.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
or if you're a woman can coffee cut a womans stroke risk?
So do you want to prevent Alzheimers but have the greater possibility of a stroke? In my opinion/case my stroke was not a bleed so I will take the extra risk, anyway I need the caffeine in order to function during the day. This is the perfect question to ask your doctor and see if they are following the latest news. Depends on which research you believe in.
