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.

No I won't prescribe medical marijuana for you, because the people who make it won't fly me to the Caribbean for conferences.

There are too many existing roadblocks for being able to use medical marijuana for stroke that the only solution is to legalize it and let patients self treat. It is only a 17 hour 10 minute drive for me to Colorado. Your parents and grandparents will thank you.
Eventually the pioneers in this will convince others by dragging them into the current century.
My reasons here;
My 13 reasons for marijuana use post-stroke. Don't follow me but I will figure out some way to get some after my next stroke.

Doctors reasons for not prescribing it; legal and insurance issues.

Dr. Alan Berkenwald: Why I won’t prescribe medical marijuana

Why I won’t prescribe medical marijuana

The excuses from this doctor:

The bottom line on research to date demonstrates that the only two situations where we can be reasonably confident that medical marijuana will help are when patients suffer from chronic pain or constant muscle contractions.
