Deans' stroke musings: Dietary blueberry improves cognition among older adults in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

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.

Dietary blueberry improves cognition among older adults in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Obviously nothing can be done with this information until 50 years from now when your doctor is gone and a dietary stroke protocol is finally implemented.
So we have cranberry research from 2002, blueberries from 2013 and beets from 2010. Which food is in your dietary protocol? Or is your doctor, hospital and stroke association so fucking incompetent that they have done nothing about this for 16 years? And you are paying them money?

Miller MG, et al. - Whether or not dietary blueberry improves mobility and cognition among older adults was determined. Mobility and cognition were compared at baseline and after 45 and 90 days of dietary intervention among men and women between the ages of 60 and 75 years. The participants were asked to consume freeze-dried blueberries (24 g/day [equivalent to 1 cup of fresh blueberries]) or a blueberry placebo for 90 days. Significantly fewer repetition errors in the California Verbal Learning test and reduced switch cost on a task-switching test were noted among participants in the blueberry group relative to controls. No improvement in gait or balance was observed. Overall, it was shown that some aspects of cognition can be improved by the addition of easily achievable quantities of blueberries to the diets of older adults.
