Deans' stroke musings: Foods to Help Relieve Foot Drop

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.

Foods to Help Relieve Foot Drop

This search term led to my blog - "water cure" "drop foot"
So I looked for it and it has to be the most quack-filled thing I've heard of, although is it for MS patients.

The Water Cure recipe is simple. It calls for you to drink at least half your weight in water, in ounces, each day. For example, if you weigh 120 lbs., drink 60 oz. of water each day. For each quart of water you consume, add 1/4 tsp. of salt. Add salt to food liberally, but drink the recommended amount of water. If you drink caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, drink another 10 oz. to 12 oz. of water per 6 oz. of caffeinated or alcoholic beverage consumed. Use only non-refined ocean salt.
