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.

Improvement of hypertension, endothelial function and systemic inflammation following short-term supplementation with red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) juice: A randomized crossover pilot study

Well shit I wrote about this in April 2013

Beet Juice Beats Hypertension

Why the fuck hasn't a diet stroke protocol been written on this in the past three years? Is it laziness or incompetence or stupidity? I see no other choice.

Journal of Human Hypertension, 06/10/2016 Asgary S, et al.
The clinicians examined the effect of raw beet juice (RBJ) and cooked beet (CB) on BP of hypertensive subjects. Although both forms of beetroot were effective in improving BP, endothelial function and systemic inflammation, the raw beetroot juice had greater antihypertensive effects. Also more improvement was observed in endothelial function and systemic inflammation with RBJ compared with CB.

Methods

  • This was randomized crossover study.
  • A total of 24 hypertensive subjects aged 25–68 years old were divided into two groups.
  • One group took RBJ for 2 weeks and the other group took CB.
  • After 2 weeks of treatment, both groups had a washout for 2 weeks then switched to the alternate treatment.
  • Each participant consumed 250 ml day–1 of RBJ or 250 g day–1 of CB each for a period of 2 weeks.
  • Body weight, BP, flow–mediated dilation (FMD), lipid profile and inflammatory parameters were measured at baseline and after each period.

Results

  • According to the results, high–sensitivity C–reactive protein (hs–CRP) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF–α) were significantly lower and FMD was significantly higher after treatment with RBJ compared with CB (P<0.05).
  • FMD was significantly (P<0.05) increased, but systolic and diastolic BP, intracellular adhesion molecule–1 (ICAM–1), vascular endothelial adhesion molecule–1 (VCAM–1), hs–CRP, interleukin–6, E–selectin and TNF–α were significantly (P<0.05) decreased with RBJ or CB.
  • Total antioxidant capacity was increased and non–high–density lipoprotein (HDL), low–density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol (TC) were decreased with RBJ but not with CB.
