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 To Grow Muscles Without Lifting Weights

Your doctor should be jumping all over this to prevent your muscles from atrophying. But you won't get a stroke protocol from them because it wasn't taught in medical school. You don't want to do this on your own because of the extreme dangers of mental imagery.

How To Grow Muscles Without Lifting Weights


Has your dream come true: a six-pack without moving a muscle?

Simply imagining exercising muscles can have a similar effect to hitting the gym, a new study finds.

Although mental imagery has long been used in sports, this is the first study to show that mental imagery can slow or even stop muscle loss resulting from inactivity.


Professor Brian Clark, director of the Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute, and study leader, said:

“We wanted to tease out the underlying physiology between the nervous system and muscles to better understand the brain’s role in muscle weakness.”

In the study, published in the journal Neurophysiology, healthy people had their hands and wrists immobilised in a cast for four weeks (Clark et al., 2014).

During this time one group did no exercise, while another imagined strong muscle contractions in their wrists.

They did this for just 11 minutes, five times a week.

The other groups just sat still for the same amount of time.
