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.

I'm just a layperson trying to change the stroke world. As a stroke survivor and with 1 in 6 people getting a stroke according to the WSO there is an immediate need to challenge and change everything associated with stroke. I am passionate and will probably offend every neurologist and PMR doctor out there.

Medicine will need to follow the lead of Amy Farber. She co-invented a revolutionary web service with MIT Media Lab that enables patients to participate in the search for their own cures. For the past five years Farber has been battling not only her own disease but also the wall of resistance erected by those who believe that a patient can make about as much of a meaningful contribution to the process of scientific discovery as a laboratory rat.
Patients will be the future of strategy for their diseases. They have time and energy that doctors do not have. And they are smarter than those laboratory rats. Non-profits like Michael J. Fox foundation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the Myelin Repair Foundation will be where donations go because they are doing actual work to combat the disease. Ones that are just press release organizations like the American Stroke Association, National Stroke Association and the World Stroke Organization will fall by the wayside.
Cheers.
