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.

Cocoa, Blood Flow and the Brain

I'm sure you'd like a more scientific basis for your chocolate eating. So ask your doctor to analyze this book and tell you what foods you should be eating for your brain.

Cocoa, Blood Flow and the Brain

Bioactives in Fruit: Health Benefits and Functional Foods

Summary

This chapter explores the relationship between cocoa consumption, specifically flavan-3-ols, and brain activity as assessed by human intervention studies. Wherever possible, studies included will be conducted according to randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind procedures. Evidence from animal studies and human cardiovascular studies are also included, where appropriate, to provide potential mechanisms relevant to cognition. As the effects of caffeine and theobromine have also been the focus of research with regards the effects of cocoa on cognition, relevant studies of these compounds are also included. Support for intervention studies showing effects of cocoa relevant to blood flow and the brain comes from recent epidemiological research.
