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.

Cerevast Therapeutics Initiates Phase 3 Clotbust ER(TM) Clinical Study for the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke

I still wonder whether this is just pushing the problem down to smaller arteries. If the trial is adequately designed it will check out that this does not occur. I compare it to an asteroid approaching earth and we send out some type of explosive device to blow it up. Unless that explosion  pulverizes it enough so that the tiny pieces burn up on entry the earth will still be destroyed or major damage will still occur. Will they be checking and scanning the brain afterward to ensure that they didn't just move the problem down to tiny arteries?

  1. Your point about collateral damage is right on. When ultrasound is used to break up kidneys stones in both kidneys clients often have increased blood pressure because the ultrasound damages the kidney. My urologist and his receptionist have kidney stones but they refuse to have ultrasound done. That tells you something.
