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.

Perception of Dementia Risk and Preventive Actions Among US Adults Aged 50 to 64 Years

Maybe there is something in there , but do you really think your doctor knows your need, reads this, AND implements an appropriate protocol for your use?


Your chances of getting dementia.



1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?   May 2012.





2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.





3. A 20% chance in this research.   July 2013.





4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018 





5. Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017

Perception of Dementia Risk and Preventive Actions Among US Adults Aged 50 to 64 Years

JAMA Neurol. 2020;77(2):259-262. doi:10.1001/jamaneurol.2019.3946

Disease-preventing or disease-modifying treatments do not exist for Alzheimer disease or other dementias. Adults may be unaware of strategies to reduce their risk1 and resort to marketed but ineffective options, such as ginkgo biloba or vitamin E. While these so-called treatments are relatively inexpensive, new preventive therapies may not be. Thus, individuals overestimating their risk of developing dementia could lead to inappropriate use and excessive costs.2 This analysis explores how adults aged 50 to 64 years estimate their lifetime risk of dementia and the risk-reducing strategies they pursue.
