Deans' stroke musings: Coffee Study: Its not just the caffeine that makes you smart and athletic

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.

Coffee Study: Its not just the caffeine that makes you smart and athletic

A great writeup on coffee vs. caffeine, but it's in rats so don't compare to humans. I do 10-12 cups at a time.

Coffee Study: Its not just the caffeine that makes you smart and athletic

Two paragraphs from the link to whet your brains' appetite.

Coffee Performance vs. Caffeine Only Performance

The rats who got the powdered coffee did better than the rats who received caffeine supplements. What does this mean for us? Coffee, like most foods, is a complex mixture containing hundreds if not thousands of different chemicals. These chemicals include vitamins and minerals, but there are also many many others whose actions we don’t yet understand.
We also understand very little about how different nutrients interact. We also know little about the effects of taking too much. This is why it is better to eat a healthy diet of real food than to rely on supplements or No-Doze Monster drinks or whatever that stuff in the tiny bottles is called. College students take note. Masters athletes: Hold off on massive anti-oxidant supplements. Anti-oxidants at high levels can damage DNA.
