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.

Woo hoo - I'm in a medical marijuana state - michigan

But stroke is not listed as one of the conditions  recognized for use. Ok maybe muscle spasms. And I'd have to find my own supply of seeds and grow them myself, dry them and pay $100 for the priviledge. Order them from the Netherlands, set up a PO box and hope they are packed inconspicuously enough to make it through customs.
 Every neurologist and PMR doctor in Michigan should already be growing this for the neuroprotective effects in the first days after stroke. So ask your doctor if they are prepared. 
 Possible positive effects1.here, 2.here, 3.here, 4.here, 5.here,6.here, 7.here, 8.here, 9.here, 10.here.
But a lot of them require it in the first days so the Michigan law is useless.
There is no place in the state of Michigan to legally purchase medical marihuana.
