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.

The scans that show how caffeine takes over your brain and stops you getting tired

So with my other major post on caffeine good vs. bad here; ask your doctor.
I however am going to continue to drink coffee.

The scans that show how caffeine takes over your brain and stops you getting tired


Last paragraphs but read the whole thing at the link;
Several investigations show that moderate coffee consumption of 3 to 5 cups per day at mid-life is linked to a reduced risk of dementia in late life.'

The team found that the repeated intake of caffeine can occupy up to 50 per cent of the brain's A1 adenosine receptors, stopping these from receiving the sleep-promoting neurotransmitter they were intended to absorb.
It is likely that this blockage of a substantial amount of cerebral A1 adenosine receptors will result in adaptive changes and lead to chronic alterations of receptor express and availability, they said.
They determined that it was this structure that may offer some insight as to why coffee drinkers were at lesser risk of dementia.
'The present study provides evidence that typical caffeine doses result in a high A1 adenosine receptor occupancy and supports the view that the A1 adenosine receptor deserves broader attention in the context of neurodegenerative disorders,' said Dr Elmenhorst, lead author of the study published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
