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.

Only 1 of every 100 people who survive a stroke do all the things research says should be done to restore their cardiovascular health

And just where the fuck are those protocols listed? Not guidelines or suggestions; PROTOCOLS!

Only 1 of every 100 people who survive a stroke do all the things research says should be done to restore their cardiovascular health and prevent a recurrence, according to a report last week from the International Stroke Conference. The American Heart Association says those seven steps are: get active, eat better, lose weight, don’t smoke, manage blood pressure, control cholesterol and lower blood sugar levels. The report, which was based on data from nearly 68,000 stroke survivors, found some successes in recent decades. For example, fewer stroke survivors have high blood pressure now (26 percent, well down from 45 percent in the late 1980s) or high cholesterol (10 percent, down from 37 percent). But diabetes and obesity rates have increased, reaching 39 and 56 percent, respectively. The proportion of stroke survivors eating poorly — meaning a diet with too much unhealthy fats, sugar and salt, and not enough fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and poultry — also has increased, from 14 percent in the late 1980s to more than 50 percent today.
