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.

How corpse brain scans help the living

I think this should be absolutely necessary for those suspected of dying from a stroke. Putting stroke on the death certificate is completely stupid. You didn't die from the stroke, you died from the damage to your brain. And if you never correlate damage to death you will never be able to tell if changes in interventions could have saved your life. It is the exact same reason that old age is not allowed on death certificates anymore.  With no factual basis of why you died you can never fix the problems.  A great stroke association would be able to change this custom. But we have jackshit for stroke associations right now. And for some reason their boards of directors are ok with that.
