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.

Eating small bar of chocolate cuts risks of stroke in men

I hate these articles, correlation does not prove causation. And it dumps all responsibility for preventing stroke damage on the patient. Rather than doing the hard research necessary to prevent the neuronal cascade of death. I expect better from our researchers and no one is calling out them on their taking the easy way out.

According to a new study, eating a small bar of chocolate every week can considerably lessens the risk of stroke in men. The study conducted on more than 37,000 Swedish men showed that those eating chocolates were least likely to have a stroke.  
Other studies have suggested that eating chocolate can definitely improve the health of the heart.  The participants of the study were asked about their habits of eating and for a decade their health was monitored.  
Based on the amount of chocolate, they were split into four groups, with the bottom group eating, on average, no chocolate each week. Meanwhile, the top group had 63 grams, slightly more than an average bar. Study also found that those eating the most chocolate were 17% less likely to have a stroke.  
Prof Susanna Larsson, said, “The beneficial effect of chocolate consumption on stroke may be related to flavonoids in the chocolate.” “Flavonoids appear to be protective against cardiovascular disease through antioxidants, anti-clotting and anti-inflammatory properties,” said Prof Susanna.  
The study also stated that milk chocolate was ideal option in Sweden and the dark chocolate has been linked to benefits for the heart in the past.
Dr. Clare Walton, from the Stroke Association, UK said, “Past research has shown that eating dark chocolate might go some way to reduce your stroke risk if it’s eaten as part of a healthy, balanced diet.”  Or maybe richer/healthier persons can afford to buy dark chocolate.
Dr Walton also said, “This study suggests that eating a moderate amount of other types of chocolate could also be beneficial in men.”  It is sensible enough to understand that eat chocolates in moderation as it contains high sugar and fat content.
Chocolate is a raw or processed food produced from the seed of tropical Theobroma cacao tree. It mostly comes in dark, milk, and white varieties with cocoa solids and contributes to brown coloration.
