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.

Stroke risk reduction ideas

I'm not a mathematician or statistician but you can ask your doctor to total up all these reductions until you get to a negligible chance of a stroke. Look at that - marijuana buds give one of  the highest stroke risk reductions. Tell that to your stupid lawmakers and the war on drugs.
Green tea and coffee 20%  - Green tea, coffee may reduce stroke risk by 20 percent

Potassium 21%   Why eat three bananas a day?
 Marijuana buds 50%  A Marijuana Bud A Day Keeps The Stroke Away
 Dietary magnesium 8% Higher magnesium intake associated with reduced ischemic stroke risk
Mediterranean diet 30% - Mediterranean Diet Proven Key In Avoiding Heart Disease And Stroke

lycopene - tomatoes 55%  -Tomatoes Linked to Lower Stroke Risk


Fish 6% - Does Eating Two Fish a Day REALLY Keep the Chance of Stroke Away?

 Chocolate eating 17%Eating small bar of chocolate cuts risks of stroke in men


Walking 43% - Walking wards off stroke for women
Speed walking 50% - Speed Walking Halves Stroke Risk
Dietary fiber 7% -    More Dietary Fiber Might Help Thwart Stroke
Total 307% -Ask your doctor what the hell a 307% reduction in stroke risk is. And I know this doesn't total up properly because of the men/women difference. 

And the generic blathering here:
I had none of these.
  • Quitting smoking

  • Avoiding excessive alcohol use

  • Getting some exercise, eating right, and, if necessary, losing some weight

  • Improving your blood lipid levels (which include both "good" and "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides)

  • Controlling your diabetes or congestive heart failure, including faithfully sticking to medications

  Ask your doctor for specific risk reductions ideas, not the generic crap that is going to be pushed. And make sure that both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes are covered.
