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 Tipping Point of stroke research and rehabilitation

This is trying to apply the concepts in the book,The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, to stroke. You don't have to read the book, you can get a pretty complete summary here;

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

 We need some Connectors to distribute our thoughts and requirements to whomever is the leader in stroke. Its obviously not the ASA, NSA or WSO because they are not leading anything. But by applying the concepts we can distribute our thoughts worldwide.

The Alzheimers Association has created that tipping point for them, everyone in the world is clamoring for a cure. We need to create that same clamor, and not the prevention F.A.S.T. excuse that stroke associations use to imply they are doing something. We have to find a prevention for the neuronal cascade of death, and have the whole world talk about that needed research, with breathless articles extolling the latest advance. 

Parkinsons did it with a celebrity, Michael J. Fox, having contracted the disease.

Stroke has to come up with something, or we just wait until 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke and then its too late. It will have tipped with no useful result.
