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.

Wine Ingredient May Have Few Health Benefits

I don't care what this study says. Wine is a great social integrator and we as survivors need social support. And wine is a great challenge to your balance. Which your PT should be pushing.
 
Gut microbes can help in improving your social life 

Love thy neighbor: It could lower your risk of stroke
 
New form of brain plasticity: Study shows how social isolation disrupts myelin production

 Stroke patients receiving in-patient rehabilitation are more likely to land back in the hospital within three months if they are functioning poorly, show signs of depression and lack social support
 
Social interaction plays a critical role in neurogenesis and recovery after stroke 

So is your doctor a stick-in-the-mud or someone who actually thinks about your complete recovery?
 
Wine Ingredient May Have Few Health Benefits 
Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red wine, chocolate and other foods, has gained wide public attention as a cancer and heart disease preventive.
Now a new study suggests its reputation may not be deserved.
Most conclusions about resveratrol have been drawn from animal and laboratory studies, with some preliminary evidence that it has anti-inflammatory effects in humans. For this new study, researchers measured resveratrol levels in a random sample of 783 people over 65, then followed them for nine years. The study was published online in JAMA Internal Medicine.
