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’s Quantum Jump: The Interprofessional Team

A department heads' blog at Queens University. Its pathetic that the last quantum leap for stroke was back in 1996 for tPA. And tPA has poor efficacy so it was more like a high jump.

My reply in the comments section, no response.
When are we going to get to the next quantum jump and start identifying interventions that are neuroprotective or stop the neuronal cascade of death? I know Dr. Michael Tymianski has noted that 1000+ drugs that worked in preventing damage in rodents did not work in humans. That might be explained by rodent inflammation is not the same as human inflammation. For my next stroke I will demand my doctor give me ibuprofen, levodopa, anti-depressants,minocycline, fish oil, amantadine or tell me why not.
