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.

One Drink With Alcohol Immediately Doubles Stroke Risk

I guess I've doubled my stroke risk numerous times. No actual study was listed so you can't tell if the cause and effect was supported.
http://www.newsfix.ca/2013/04/19/one-drink-with-alcohol-immediately-doubles-stroke-risk/
A study has revealed that after you have your first drink with alcohol, your stroke risk nearly doubles. The study was conducted with 390 stroke patients and followed how much alcohol they consumed prior to them suffering a stroke.
The idea is to see if there was any relation between stroke risk and the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The research was not based on any specific type of alcohol, so it would include beer, wine, and everything else that would include any alcohol.
Just having one drink of alcohol was found to increase your risk of stroke 2 times immediately after consuming the beverage. After 2-hours, the risk of stroke is increased 1.6 times when compared to your risk before having the drink.
What this means is that consuming alcohol can put people in a state of elevated stroke risk for a period of time. The good news is that people who consumer alcohol moderately after a period of 24-hours will actually have a 30% lower risk of stroke when compared to those who drink no alcohol.
The bottom line is that in the short-term, alcohol can increase your risk of stroke, but moderate drinking in the long-term can actually lead to health benefits and a reduced stroke risk.

    I didn't know about it. Thank you for this information. I would never mind drinking beverages and alcohol in a party before reading this blog post.
