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.

World Stroke Day - Oct. 29

Big
F*cking  Whoopee
Just another day to put out press releases rather than doing the difficult tasks of figuring out how to stop the neuronal cascade of death. That tipping point is still out there for stroke.

This is taken from a American Stroke Association email.

Let's come together on World Stroke Day (Oct. 29) to raise awareness that stroke is largely preventable, treatable and beatable. Stroke is the No. 4 killer in the United States. Each year 15 million people worldwide experience a stroke, which claims a life every six seconds.

Join us Oct. 28 for a Google+ Hangout with AHA/ASA and AARP experts to learn about caring for stroke survivors. Learn more



Largely preventable - Maybe, with the generic admonitions like these   rather than specific ones like these 11 referenced and specific ideas.
Treatable - Completely wrong, the 12% efficacy of tPA and non-treatment of the neuronal cascade of death points to failure to me.
Beatable - Bullsheet, Only 10% fully recover, very poor odds.

    Oh yes let's! Let's raise awareness by gathering a bunch of people that have never had a stroke and have no f'ing clue what they're talking about. Let's do that!
