Deans' stroke musings: A Pilot Study in Homeopathic and Anthroposophical Treatment of Stroke

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.

A Pilot Study in Homeopathic and Anthroposophical Treatment of Stroke

This one is impossible to figure out but homeopathy is just water so no treatment at all. Anthroposophical is defined here;

It's even more nonsensical.

A Pilot Study in Homeopathic and Anthroposophical Treatment of Stroke

You can read the full article at the link above, its bizarre.
Abstract
In a retrospective pilot study with 172 patients, two complementary treatment approaches one homeopathic, the other following a WALA anthroposophic treatment were compared as to their possible efficacy in treating the sequelae of stroke. In both groups, the treatment consisted chiefly in the use of snake poisons and arnica in homeopathic doses(water). A slightly better result was found with the homeopathic approach. This practical experience made it possible to take the further step of designing a therapeutic schema that proves effective in practice while respecting both approaches the need of anthroposophical medicine for a pathophysiological rationale and the need of homeopathy for an individualized treatment.
The definition of homeopathic dilutions;

Homeopathy involves a process known by practitioners as "dynamisation" or "potentisation" whereby a substance is diluted with alcohol or distilled water and then vigorously shaken in a process called "succussion". Insoluble solids, such as quartz and oyster shell, are diluted by grinding them with lactose (trituration). The founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann (1755 — 1843) believed that the process of succussion activated the "vital energy" of the diluted substance,^[1] and that successive dilutions increased the "potency" of the remedy(bizarre belief).
But don't take my word for any of this, ask your regular doctor, not your homeopathic, naturopathic, or integrative doctor.

If you really want to be baffled by bullshit this one is great reading;
