Deans' stroke musings: Xing Nao Kai Qiao Stroke Rehabilitation & Prevention module

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.

I wish this was in text format because there are lots of statements that needed highlighting to point out problems.
I have been reading lots of critiques of CAM Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and they would have a heyday listing all that is not scientific in this paper. They call it biomedical woo. Sorry about the image but you have to read about the upper invasion of blood statis, liver, wind and phlegm and obstruction of brain orifices. This is also where the movie 9000 needles comes from.
