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.

Alzheimer's disease

From the front page of Yahoo news. Alzheimers has obviously hit the tipping point. But if you look at the figures, stroke will have more people affected by 2050. Why hasn't stroke been more visible?

36 million people suffer from Alzheimer's around the world. According to a World Health Organisation estimate, this figure could reach 115 million by 2050 in the absence of a cure. With a new case diagnosed every 4 seconds, the disease remains one of medicine's greatest challenges as it robs ever more people of their memory and independence.VIDEOGRAPHIC
At 10 million survivors a year stroke will have 350 million survivors by 2050 and 175 million dead.
Sounds like a major catastrophe to me.
