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.

Abstract 

Background

It is a common practice to heat cooking oil and reuse it in order to cut expenses. The use of repeatedly heated cooking oil predisposes to various cardiovascular diseases. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is reported to possess antioxidant action.

Aim

The study aimed to determine the effect of heating of VCO on the blood pressure (BP) and inflammatory bio-markers.

Methods

Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups and were fed with the following diet for 24weeks: normal rat chow (control); chow+fresh VCO (FVCO); chow+VCO heated once (1HVCO); chow+VCO heated five times (5HVCO) and chow+VCO heated ten times (10HVCO). BP was measured at baseline and four weekly for 24weeks. Blood was collected at baseline and at the end of study to measure plasma TXB2, PGI2, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and LDH enzyme activity.

Results

BP increased significantly in the 5HVCO and 10HVCO groups compared to the control and FVCO groups. The 5HVCO and 10HVCO diet caused a significant increase in the plasma TXB2 and a significant decrease in the plasma PGI2 level. The plasma levels of VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and CRP were significantly increased in the 10HVCO group.

Conclusion

Repeatedly heated VCO caused an elevation in the BP. The BP elevation was associated with a significant increase in the inflammatory bio-markers (VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and CRP), TXB2 and a significant reduction in the plasma PGI2 level.
