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.

Should everyone over 65 take a statin?

Well how many people do they want to make stupid?
Or all the other side effects;
Myopathy.
diabetes risk.
Lung Damage in Smokers
higher cholesterol levels may predict longevity, rather than mortality, in the elderly.
Do Statins Make It Tough to Exercise?
How they can cause sexual dysfunction 
50% likelier to develop age-related cataracts
increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
statins produce mild muscle injury
risk of musculoskeletal injury
This is all just to keep you informed, I'm sure your doctor can rattle all these off for you and explain exactly why you need statins. Don't listen to anything I have to say, I just point out stuff for your doctor to explain. That's why they are paid the big bucks.

Read it all at the link.

This paragraph is one of the main reasons for doing it.
In these trials, which compared statins and placebos in patients followed for an average of three and a half years, statins reduced the risk of heart attack by about 29 percent and stroke by nearly 24 percent, the researchers found.

But why not a marijuana bud a day for a 50% stroke risk reduction?
