Deans' stroke musings: Matching challenge doubles your gift's impact

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.

Matching challenge doubles your gift's impact - National Stroke Association

And none of this will do one bit of good toward solving all of the problems in stroke. This is just to make you feel good and relieve you of some money. More 'Happy talk'. Matt Lopez, you need to explain why your organization is not doing one concrete thing for future survivors. Like maybe lessening their disability from the stroke. Learn what cause and effect is and attack the causes of stroke disability. Do you even know about the neuronal cascade of death?

A gift of $50 becomes $100 which helps to get the word out about how knowing the symptoms of stroke and how what you do in the first minutes after a stroke can save lives and preserve brain function.
A contribution of $80 becomes $160 to help pair a Stroke Recovery Navigator with a stroke survivor during the critical six months following a stroke when they are struggling to find their bearings and move forward with life.
A donation of $150 becomes $300 to provide resources to encourage, support, and train family members in the proper care of stroke survivors.

Today, more than ever, you can make a profound difference in the life of someone you love by giving a tax-deductible gift to National Stroke Association.

Please help us help others in the stroke survivor community Come Back Strong in the years ahead.

Thank you for your support. It means so much!
