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 tantalizing links between gut microbes and the brain

How will your doctor use this information to help you get to 100% recovery?

Neuroscientists are probing the idea that intestinal microbiota might influence brain development and behaviour.

    Dean,
    My stroke was caused by the Whipple's bacterial infecting my upper intestine for months (more likely years), and caused me to lose 40 lbs in 4 months, then it got in my brain, killing a 2.5 x 4.0 cm area of the upper motor cortex.

    My doctors think Whipple's caused a vascilitus type process starving neurons of blood flow, but I can't help but wonder if it is more complicated, as discussed in this article.

    The Whipple's was not diagnosed for 2 weeks after stroke put me in the hospital. So, I conclude the neuron cascade of death got going pretty good until IV antibiotics were started to kill the bacteria. Unfortunately, neurons did not come back and no spontaneous recovery for me!

    I need help stimulating plasticity, so I want more research like this!
