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.

Risk of Cardiac Death Pretty Much Set by 55

Whew I made it to 55, so I don't need to worry any more since I have none of the risk factors anymore. Bring on the fatty meat and desserts.
Don't listen to me, this is sarcasm.

  • Two or more major risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking at age 55 predicted 29.6% chance of death from cardiovascular disease by age 80 for men and 20.5% for women.


  • For 55-year-olds without cardiovascular risk factors, lifetime risk was only 4.7% for men and 6.4% for women.
The effect was similar for heart attacks and strokes and regardless of race or era in which one was born, the group reported in the Jan. 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
