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.

AN INFLAMMATORY FINDING Mice Aren’t Men

This is probably why the 1000 studies that worked in rodents but failed in humans, as Dr. Tymianski noted years ago. Inflammation is extremely important to figure out in the stroke aftermath.

AN INFLAMMATORY FINDING Mice Aren’t Men


A recent paper coauthored by associate professor of pediatrics H. Shaw Warren does just that. In a study that involved collaboration among more than a dozen institutions, Warren, an expert in sepsis (see below), asked whether the bodies of mice react to burns, blunt trauma, and infection the same way that human bodies do. Examining the genetic signatures of response to such assaults, the scientists found very little similarity between the two species.
The finding is stunning because mice have long been considered a model organism for researching drugs for use in people. The study authors estimate that 150 potential treatments for severe inflammation have been tested in people after being found to work in mice—and in the human trials, not a single one worked.
