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.

Eat to Lower Your Risk of Dementia from AARP

Don't do this without your doctors ok.  Dangerous times indeed when eating food that your doctor doesn't know about.

Get Full of Beans

Beans and green peas provide a rich source of B-complex vitamins, which may play a role in protecting against brain shrinkage as well as in maintaining blood sugar levels and a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B-1 (thiamine) and folic acid are also found in enriched grain products

Raise Your C Level

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, essential for healthy skin and blood vessel functioning, but some studies suggest it may protect against dementia-related brain plaque, too. Oranges, limes and lemons are a convenient source of ascorbic acid (aka vitamin C), as are sweet peppers,

Add in Some Almonds

Vitamin E promotes healthy blood vessels, and studies have shown that people with high blood levels of the antioxidant have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin E may also slow the progression of Alzheimer's, a new study suggests. Add E to your diet with almonds, other nuts and avocado.

Go Fishin'

The omega-3 fatty acids in fish reduce inflammation in the body. UCLA scientists found that people with lower omega-3 blood levels had more brain shrinkage and poorer performance on memory tests. Aim for eating fatty, cold-water fish, such as salmon, cod, herring and mackerel, once or twice a week.

Savor Spinach

Spinach is packed with at least 15 different antioxidant compounds known as flavonoids, which have been shown to slow the formation of the beta-amyloid plaques that build up in those with Alzheimer's disease. What's more, spinach is rich in vitamins A and K, folic acid and iron.

Crave Coffee

About three cups of coffee a day may help protect against Alzheimer's, a 2012 University of South Florida study found. Older adults with mild cognitive impairment who drank that much java were far less likely to develop full-blown Alzheimer's over the following two to four years than those who had very little or no caffeine.
