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.

Your doctor can vet all these and give you protocols for amounts and timings.

Slide show at link. 
Ginko biloba: Some research shows it does not improve cognition without cognitive impairment does not prevent dementia; may improve cognitive function with Alzheimer disease (AD) or vascular dementia (VaD).
The data on ginkgo biloba for improving cognition in patients with dementia are more extensive than the data on prevention of cognitive impairment.
Omega 3 fatty acids: Some research shows eating fish reduces incidence of AD; omega 3 supplementation does not prevent AD; improved attention & processing speed with mild dementia (MD); does not improve cognition in AD.
Ginseng: Some improvement in cognition in AD. For more on this topic, see Ginkgo, ginseng, and royal jelly combination improves memory in patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Vitamin B12, B9: Some improvement in cognition in cognitively intact individuals but not those with dementia.  Note that supplementation does not improve dementia in those with normal levels of Vitamin B, but if Vitamin B12 deficiency exists, supplementation can improve memory. For related content, see: Mild Cognitive Impairment: Impact of Exercise.
Huperzine: Modest improvement in cognition in AD. For more on this topic, see Vitamin Supplements for Neurological Disorders.
Vitamin D: Increased dementia with deficiency. For more on this topic, see Study Confirms Vitamin D, Dementia Risk Link. 
Curcumin: No impact on cognition, but data are limited. For more on curcumin, see Curcumin: New Use for an Old Spice? 
Coconut oil/caprylidene: Improved cognition in persons with AD who are not APOE-4 allele carriers.
Resveratrol: No changes in cognition in persons with AD but reduced biomarker AB levels.
For more on this topic, see Natural Supplements and Vitamins for Treatment and Prevention of Dementia and Cognitive Decline, on which this slideshow is based.
