Deans' stroke musings: “We’ve found a molecule that can protect the brain even when it’s given up to eight hours after the stroke.”

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.

“We’ve found a molecule that can protect the brain even when it’s given up to eight hours after the stroke.” - spider venom

WHOM is your doctor and stroke hospital contacting to get this into human clinical trials? Or are they all fucking lazy assholes?

WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

The stroke stuff is really important because there are no drugs for stroke. If you have a stroke now, when you get to the hospital after three or four hours, there’s really nothing that can be done for you. You just have to hope that you recover.
[We’ve found] a molecule that can protect the brain even when it’s given up to eight hours after the stroke. When you have a stroke, the region of the brain where the occlusion occurs loses oxygen. The brain is the biggest consumer of glucose in the body. It burns huge amounts of glucose, and it needs oxygen to do that. When it can’t do that it has to use glycolysis, and the end product of glycolysis is lactate, or lactic acid. Just like a muscle that runs out of oxygen when you’re working out, the brain produces large amounts of lactate after a stroke and so just like your muscle it ends up with lactic acidosis. The brain becomes acidic. We have molecules that stop that process.
