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.

The role of vitamin supplementation in the prevention of cardiovascular disease events

Have your doctor review this and see whether you can reduce the cost of your expensive pee. Mine is pretty expensive and I don't remember why I started most of them.

Clinical Cardiology, 05/30/2014 Review Article

Desai CK, et al. – The purpose of this study was to review the currently available literature for vitamin supplementation with respect to prevention of cardiovascular disease. They revealed unfortunately, the current evidence suggests no benefit exists with vitamin supplementation in the general US population. They also point out that further research is needed to evaluate whether there are specific populations that might benefit from vitamin supplementation.

The production, sale, and consumption of multiple vitamins is a multibillion–dollar industry.
Most Americans take some form of supplement ostensibly for prevention of cardiovascular disease.
It has been claimed that vitamin A retards atherogenesis.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and is thought to possibly decrease free radical–induced endothelial injury, which can lead to atherosclerotic plaque formation.
Vitamin E has been extensively studied for its possible effects on platelet function as well as inhibition of foam–cell formation.
Low levels of vitamin D have been thought to negatively impact myocardial structure and increase the risk for cardiovascular events.
Increased intake of vitamin B6, B12, and folate has been associated with reduction of homocysteine levels; elevated homocysteine blood levels have been associated with the occurrence of stroke, heart attack, and cardiovascular death.
