Deans' stroke musings: Protection against brain abnormalities provided by high serum omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content

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.

Protection against brain abnormalities provided by high serum omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content

So whom is going to add this to the generic crap stroke prevention admonitions? And it seems to be useful immediately post stroke and TBI.
If your doctor is any good at all they should know all this stuff and determine your course of action. But that won't occur unless you tell them about this research. The model of stroke information is totally backwards, patients know more than any of your doctors or therapists.
Then there is this pretreatment model also;

And these post injury may help;
