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.

One paragraph here, rest at the link.
  • High vitamin B, C, D, and E levels correlated with higher total cerebral volume relative to intracranial volume, suggesting less brain atrophy (P=0.018)
  • High trans fat levels linked to substantially lower total cerebral volume relative to intracranial volume (P=0.0002)
  • High marine omega-3 fatty acid levels were associated with less white matter hyperintensity lesion volume relative to total cerebral volume (P=0.03), though attenuated to nonsignificance with further adjustment for hypertension and depression

Notably, the differences on MRI did not appear to explain the association of the vitamin levels with cognition in an exploratory analysis.

"Cognitive benefit gained by a plasma profile high in antioxidants C and E, B vitamins, and vitamin D may partially operate on the neurobiology that governs rate of total brain atrophy (e.g., Alzheimer type pathology), whereas the effects of the marine omega-3s may be mediated through more vascular mechanisms," Bowman's group concluded.
