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.

I'm in the New York Times - not for stroke

A wine group I'm in does monthly dinners where Eric Asimov(NYTimes wine columnist) chooses the wines to taste. I have been selected to write up our feelings on the wines we taste and put them in the comments section of that column.  Last month White Bordeaux was the wine selection.
Last night was our monthly wine dinner again and boy did I get grief for being important enough for Eric Asimov to mention me by name.  Autographs were asked for.

My writeup to that wine  was as follows. The quote in there was not mine, I just directly quoted one of the participants. I do not believe in the flowery language of most wine enthusiasts. Wine is binary. Would you buy this again? Yes/No? Would you drink this again? Yes/No? Is it wine colored? Yes/No? Is it wine flavored? Yes/No?
6 bottles of white Bordeaux awaited us, while waiting for all the members of the group to get there a cabernet sauvignon and Portuguese red were polished off amongst the 12 participants. The descriptions were mostly short, good color, nice nose, full mouth feel, oily, home permanent kits. Not a single bottle was emptied after pouring for the original taste. No seconds were requested. The best lines of the night were biting. 'Would the pope serve this wine? ' 'This will be the last white Bordeaux I drink for the rest of my life.' Summer is over, our next wine will be a red, even if Eric picks a white.

Well this month Eric Asimov responded to the comments in White Bordeaux tasting. I got insulted several times.

By contrast, another reader, Dean Reinke of East Lansing, Mich., who tried six bottles of white Bordeaux (without specifying what they were) with fellow members of his tasting group, wrote, with decisive finality, “This will be the last white Bordeaux I drink for the rest of my life.”


Here at Wine School, we understand both extremes (though I would urge Mr. Reinke to give them another chance: one good bottle with dinner, sir, rather than speed-tasting through a bunch of anonymous wines).
