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.

Galantamine Slashes Heart Attacks and Death

For your doctor to analyze and report back to you.
http://www.life-enhancement.com/magazine/article/2908-galantamine-slashes-heart-attacks-and-death
A new study has found that subjects taking the highest recommended doses of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs)—including donepezil (at 10 mg/day), rivastigmine (at 6 mg/day), and galantamine (at 24 mg/day)—had significantly lower levels of myocardial infarction (MI, aka heart attack) or significantly reduced risk of death from any cause.1 The research was conducted at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden where over 7000 subjects (mean age 79 years) from the Swedish Dementia Registry with the diagnoses of Alzheimer’s dementia or Alzheimer’s mixed dementia since 2007 were followed for a mean period of 503 days.
In the study, those who used ChEI, compared to those who did not, experienced:
  • 38% lower risk of heart attack
  • 26% lower risk of death from stroke and other cardiovascular diseases
  • 36% lower risk of death from any cause
