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.

Mediterranean-style diet improves systolic blood pressure and arterial stiffness in older adults: Results of a 1-year European multi-center trial

This is only useful if the EXACT PROTOCOL for the Mediterranean diet is provided. How does it compare to there other reduction in arterial stiffness methods?

Mediterranean-style diet improves systolic blood pressure and arterial stiffness in older adults: Results of a 1-year European multi-center trial

HypertensionJennings A, et al. | February 15, 2019

In this year-long, European, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, researchers evaluated the impact of a Mediterranean-style diet (specifically designed according to dietary recommendations for individuals aged ≥ 65 years) on blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness among older adults. They measured blood pressure in 1,294 healthy participants (aged 65-79 years) who were recruited from 5 European centers, and assessed arterial stiffness in a subset of 225 participants. The intervention involved the provision of individually tailored standardized dietary advice and commercially available foods to increase adherence to a Mediterranean diet. Habitual diet was continued in the control group, and current national dietary guidance was provided. A total of 1,142 participants completed the trial (88.2%). Following the year-long intervention, the investigators observed a significant reduction in systolic BP, which was evident in men but not women. Overall, this dietary intervention resulted in clinically relevant attenuations in blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
