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.

Research on stroke and reflexology

One of the search terms on my blog. I haven't written about this quackery for years.

But if you want to believe the apologists are here;

Possible benefits of Reflexology for stroke - Research  and Hope

Alternatively Speaking: Understanding reflexology - see question 2

Stroke Recovery Following Reflexology Work by Barbara and Kevin Kunz

Power Of Reflexology 3: How to stop stroke by Reflexology This one is simply a TIA

Reflexology and Stroke: A Student's Story about her Beloved Dad Spontaneous recovery, nothing to do with the treatment.

Reflexology Quackery? Definitely Not!!  Includes a foot map with the brain included if you want to see where your brains maps to.

 Absolutely none of them give any scientific reasoning behind why it might work.  Appeal to authority or ancient practice means nothing.


Of course people like this, foot massages are wonderful.
