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.

Routine hospital treatment causes heart attacks

A standard treatment for heart problems and chest pains – which has been used in hospitals for 144 years – causes heart attacks, researchers have discovered this week.Nitroglycerin – the main ingredient for dynamite – has been routinely given to hospital patients suffering chest pains (angina pectoris) since 1867, and has never been tested for its safety.When researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine finally did so, they discovered that the drug increases the risks of a heart attack, especially if it is given continuously by intravenous drip. It harms heart tissue, and destroys the enzyme ALDH2, which mops up free radicals and protects the heart from damage when blood flow is restricted.Overall, the drug doubles the risk of heart attack after it has been given continuously for 16 hours.(Source: Science Translational Medicine, 2011; 3: 107ra111).
