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.

A Nasal Spray against Alzheimer's Disease and Stroke

This one is pretty unknown yet, especially since it hasn't been tried in humans yet and doesn't yet seem to have a good understanding of why it works.

Researchers have claimed to develop a nasal spray against Alzheimer's disease and stroke. The spray is expected to repair the vascular damage in the brain by provoking the body's immune system.
Researchers of the Tel Aviv University have claimed to develop this spray. Dr. Dan Frenkel, of the Tel Aviv University's Department of Neurobiology, says that they have done the clinical trials of the medication which have shown that it prevents brain tissue damage and restore cognitive impairment.
Dr. Frenkel believes that this new medication is a milestone which may help in developing vaccination and long-sought cure for Alzheimer's disease. He added that this spray might open new pathways for the treatments related to the immune system and could also reduce the cases of stroke and Alzheimer's disease. It may also prevent the progression of disease.
Researchers have conducted the tests of the spray on mice but it has not been tested on humans yet. The test conducted on mice has shown that vascular damage was prevented after the injection of vaccination and no side effects have been reported.
Dr. Frenkel told that this drug has already been tested safely by GlaxoSmithKline as an influenza treatment but it is unknown that when it will be available.

Ok, what are the active ingredients in the spray?
