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.

Dinner With The Doc Focuses On Stroke Rehab

If you are in central CT. you will need to attend and ask him these specific 6 questions. Do not let him deviate from answering them. He needs to be proven to not have anything useful for stroke patients. How many of his patients have fully recovered? How many die in the 30 day period?

A special Dinner with the Doc focusing on new innovations in stroke rehabilitation will be held Tuesday, May 20, 5 to 7 p.m., at Jefferson House, 1 John H. Stewart Drive. Featured speaker is Dr. David A. Monti Jr. Complimentary dinner will be provided.

Dr. Monti specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and electrodiagnostic testing, and provides care to patients who have had strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputations. He has a broad teaching background on numerous topics including management of the traumatic brain injured patient and cumulative trauma disorders.

Seating is limited and reservations are required. To RSVP, call 860-667-4453.


Absolutely everything in stroke is a failure and has been for 30 years.
Problems in stroke;



1. There is no fast, easy and objective way to diagnose a stroke. Maybe when the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize is available. A number of friends have waited hours in ERs until stroke symptoms have visibly manifested themselves.

2. Only 10% get to almost full recovery.

3. 12% tPA efficacy

4. Nothing being done to stop the neuronal cascade of death during the first week.

5. No one knows how to cure spasticity.
6.  No one knows how to cure fatigue.
7. F.A.S.T is actually a failure because even at its best tPA is only delivered to 33% of those eligible and then of those that get it it only works 12% of the time.
