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 Herpes Virus Can Affect Your Brain In Surprising Ways

I had two forms of the virus as a kid; chicken pox and cold sores.

If you’ve had mononucleosis, chicken pox, or cold sores, then you’ve had the herpes virus. Weird, isn’t it? Anna Rothschild explains in the YouTube channel Gross Science that the virus actually stays in your body for a lifetime and goes through a period where it lies dormant in neurons, hiding from the immune system. It turns out, however, it can even sneak into your brain.
Before you freak out about that, it’s important to note that this happens to about two in a million people. The virus can sneak into your temporal lobe and affect you in peculiar ways. For instance, those who survived the viral attack on the brain had specific damage that didn’t allow them to make normal class categorizations that we normally make on a daily basis, like colors or animals.
