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.

Harvard Medical School experts reveal the best ways to prevent a stroke!

You had better hope that prevention works because nothing post-stroke works. You're screwed if you have a stroke.

1. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
2. tPA only fully works to reverse the stroke 12% of the time. Known since 1996.
3. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
4. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
5. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
6. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
7. No published stroke protocols.
8. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.

Dear dean,
During a stroke, every second counts.
Without a supply of oxygen and nutrients provided by the blood, brain cells die at a shocking rate of 1.9 million per minute.
No wonder stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. and also a major cause of disability.
That means your independence and your life just might come down to knowing the signs and symptoms of a stroke so you can get treatment before permanent damage occurs. To help you do this, Harvard Medical School experts created a report called Stroke.
This report covers everything from lifesaving stroke facts, to health problems that increase your risk for stroke, to secrets for regaining function after a stroke. You’ll discover:
  • How treating high blood pressure can reduce your chance of having a stroke by as much as 40%
  • 7 important drugs that dissolve or prevent blood clots
  • Why people with diabetes are at increased risk for strokes — and two ways to reduce the risk
  • One of the most common causes of stroke in people under 50 — and the symptoms you need to watch for, especially if you see a chiropractor
  • How Botox can help people who have trouble speaking clearly after a stroke
  • And so much more!
Plus, you’ll get a Special Bonus Section on the changes you can make to help prevent a first or second stroke, such as how exercise can help lower your risk of stroke as much as 30%, how increasing potassium intake can reduce the risk of ischemic strokes, and why some women may want to take a daily aspirin.
For the best information on preventing, treating, or even recovering from a stroke, get your copy of Stroke right now.
