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.

Therapeutic uses for hallucinogens? from the Physics Forum

This thread had one respondent aVibration that collated many cannaboid uses for neuroprotection and neurogenesis.
The complete forum here:

The copy of aVibration here:
Marijuana is considered a hallucinogen by many governments around the world. It doesn't seem to have gotten much attention in this thread.

Followed are some links that were compiled by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and found easily on their website, but the rules of this thread prohibit from linking to the page compiling these studies for future reference. I do not take credit for finding these studies or compiling them. (I omitted "Non-acute (residual) neurocognitive effects of cannabis use: A meta-analytic study. Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society. 2003" because one needed an authorization to follow the link provided.)
