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.

What is the purpose of stroke prevention?

When you break it down the real reason is actually to save brain cells. Prevention is only one way to accomplish this. Another way would be to stop the cascade of neuronal death due to glutamate poisoning, excitotoxicity, non-opening of capillaries due to pericytes.

So which way can save more brain cells?
ASA or NSA, what is your answer?

After that comes the repair of damaged cells - mainly via neuroplasticity, which needs a lot of research yet to document how to repeat it. We know it works but we don't know how it works.
Then would be the replacement of dead cells via angiogenesis, neurogenesis and maybe stem cells
