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.

Folic acid decreases stroke risk

And this one can get you to a 337% reduction in stroke risk.

A study shows that men who consume large amounts of folic acid have a reduced risk of stroke.
Previous research have pointed to the health benefits of an adequate intake of the B vitamin folic acid (sometimes also called folate). It seems to work by preventing the build up of the amino acid homocysteine which otherwise damages the arteries.
Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois followed a group of nearly 44,000 men for 14 years, noting their folic acid intake. Folic acid can be taken by supplement and it is also found in grains (now fortified following US Government advice), fruits and vegetables. In this study, men taking the most folic acid – half of whom had an intake of over 821 micrograms a day – had a 30 per cent lower risk of ischemic stroke compared to those consuming around 262 micrograms of folic acid a day, or less. An ischemic stroke is one which is caused by a blood clot in the brain, while a hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding. There was no link between folic acid intake and hemorrhagic stroke.
