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.

21 Proven Ways to Increase Your Brain's Growth Hormone - BDNF

Something your doctor should already have given you a protocol on, but if not you can see how trainable your doctor is.

Just like some people are able to drop massive amounts of weight and never gain it back, you can drop your chronic depression, anxiety and poor cognition and never have it consume you again.
One way to do this is by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor, also known as BDNF.
BDNF is a naturally-occurring protein in the brain that improves brain function and lowers your risk of mental disease.
BDNF protects and repairs your brain cells, increases the growth of new brain cells, and improves learning, memory and mood. In fact, many researchers consider it a natural antidepressant (12-17, 66).
Research suggests that if you struggle with mental illness or poor brain function, you likely have reduced levels of BDNF. But luckily, there are ways to boost it. And by doing so, you can reverse depression and protect yourself from Alzheimer’s disease  (46-50, 31, 64-65, 67).
After suffering two concussions, living in a moldy house, and falling into a deep depression in 2010, I started searching far and wide for ways to boost BDNF and heal my damaged brain.
Below are 21 ways that significantly helped me recover, and they likely will help you too.

1. Exercise

2. Sunlight

3. Intermittent Fasting

5. Avoid Processed Food and Refined Sugar

6. Green Tea

7. Lose Fat 

8. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Krill Oil)

9. Socialize

11. Deep Sleep

13. Reduce Stress (Neurofeedback/Meditation)

14. Ketogenic Diet

15. Magnesium

19. Theanine

20. Adaptogenic Herbs

21. Zinc
