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.

Will You See Your 80th Birthday?

You Need A Health Turnaround To Make it to Age 80.  
Will You See Your 80th Birthday? 

You may be unlucky - with uncontrollable risk factors that can contribute to an early death - or you may not being taking proper care of your health, but your life expectancy outlook doesn't look good. Even though people who live very unhealthy lifestyles sometimes live past the age of 100, that's not the case for the majority of us. So why not start doing your part to increase the odds of living longer and avoiding the top three causes of premature deaths: heart disease, cancer and stroke? To maximize the chances of living past 80 years old, you should:

  • Try to live in an area with healthy air quality to limit your exposure to air pollutants that may cause cancer and accelerate aging. I do.
  • Get an education to help increase your socioeconomic status, which increases your chance of receiving things such as quality health care. I do.
  • Learn to deal with stress and anger more effectively for health and safety reasons. I do.
  • Don't smoke or use other tobacco products, which contribute to 20% of cancer deaths. I do.
  • Drink alcohol in moderation. I do.
  • Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy. Avoid processed foods, saturated fats and trans fats. This will also help you maintain a healthy weight. I do.
  • Exercise at least three times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes. I do.
  • Have regular check-ups with your doctor, especially as you get older, to screen for risk factors associated with cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases. Also let your doctor know what your family's health history looks like. I don't.
  • Always wear your seat belt to help prevent accidental deaths. And don't forget to drive safely! I do.
It takes way too long to get thru the quiz to determine why they think I won't make it to 80. I will get there however.

  1. I think 82 is the perfect age to die. BTW, I did an inadvertent click and had to exit the test prematurely and don't know if I'll make it to 80 - and, yes, it was very slow going.
