Deans' stroke musings: Introducing CerAxon®, the First & Only Oral Solution Medical Food for Dietary Management of Brain Ischemia in Patients With Partially Impaired Swallow

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.

Introducing CerAxon®, the First & Only Oral Solution Medical Food for Dietary Management of Brain Ischemia in Patients With Partially Impaired Swallow

Finally saw a google news feed on this, about 3 weeks ago I was contacted by the social media director of the company asking if I would like to try a sample and write about it. I got the sample but since it is for hyperacute therapy there was no point in me trying it. The other research I did on it is listed below.
The news release:

Citicoline(also known as CDP-Choline) is the active ingredient. I just posted about this 5 days ago.

Findings with citicoline show significant cognitive improvement among stroke patients.

Recent Data at the Bench on Citicoline

It seems to be the only hyperacute drug out there that fixes parts of the neuronal cascade of death. This might have prevented my huge black hole after my tPA fix.
We should have at least a dozen drug possibilities for hyperacute therapy,I have postings on 62 of them. Then maybe our neurologists would have some actual work to do rather than stand around and hope we recover on our own. You will need to remember this on your own when you have your next stroke, I doubt it will get disseminated to the medical staff for 5-20 years.
