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.

The Diet Linked To Higher Depression Risk - Vegetarian

So is your doctor counseling you to drop vegetarianism during your stroke recovery to not increase your 33% chance of depression after stroke? Or at least have a diet protocol to cover these deficiencies?

The longer people follow this diet, the more depressed they are.
Vegetarians are twice as likely to experience depression as those eating a regular balanced diet, a new study finds.
The longer people followed a vegetarian diet, the higher their depression scores, the researchers found.
It is possible that the link is down to poor nutrition.
Vegetarians typically have low levels of vitamin B12 in their diet.
Indeed, around 50% of vegans have a vitamin B12 deficiency, while 7% of vegetarians have the deficiency.
Vitamin B12 is found in red meat and has been linked to mood problems.
Vegetarians also typically eat more nuts, which contain omega-6 fatty acids: these have been linked to mental health problems.
The study’s authors write:
“Other potential factors include high blood levels of phytoestrogens – consequent mainly on diets rich in vegetables and soya.
Another potential contributing factor is that lower intakes of seafood are thought to be associated with greater risk of depressive symptoms.”
The results come from a study that examined 350 committed vegetarians among almost 10,000 men.
The study was not able to rule out the possibility that people who are depressed are more likely to become vegetarian.

The study was published in the Journal of Affective Disorders (Hibbeln et al., 2018).
