Deans' stroke musings: Forget coffee, now you can get caffeine in your TOOTHBRUSH

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.

Forget coffee, now you can get caffeine in your TOOTHBRUSH

You can read about all the great results of using caffeine here;

Of course, you will need to make sure you don't use this for your nightly brushing. And since the caffeine gum is discontinued this would be a great solution. Do you really think your hospital will read research on caffeine and provide these toothbrushes to stroke patients?

Forget coffee, now you can get caffeine in your TOOTHBRUSH

Firm has applied for patents for a range of brushes with flavours and even an appetite suppressant on them
Could also be used to deliver correct doses of drugs to patients

The patent application from the Colgate-Palmolive Company revealed technology that would allow chemicals to be embedded into the heads of standard toothbrushes and slowly released during use.
The firm showed off plans for everything from mint and apple flavoured patches to a caffeine patch to wake up the weary in the morning.
