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.

New online course from Harvard Health Publishing Cognitive Fitness


You just might want this since your doctor has absolutely nothing for your 5 lost cognitive years from the stroke. Is it worth 29.95? Up to you. I however am just going to use all the blog posts I've written on cognitive. But I'm not medically trained so you can't listen to me.

New online course from Harvard Health Publishing Cognitive Fitness

Harvard experts bring you all the information you need for understanding how you can stay mentally sharp as you age by following their practical 6-step plan for cognitive fitness.


In this fascinating course, you'll learn about cognitive reserve — the brain's ability to find alternate ways of doing something — and how it can help fight the brain changes associated with dementia and other brain diseases. Plus, you'll find out how you can boost your own cognitive reserve and buffer memory loss by challenging your brain.

Harvard Health Publishing's all-new online course, Cognitive Fitness, is an exciting way to learn how to improve your overall brain health, and preserve and protect your memory as you age.


  • Learn from top Harvard experts at your convenience
  • Watch, pause, and watch again as often as you want — whenever you want
  • Easily skip to slides and sections that interest you most
  • Course is always available, never expires
  • Includes downloadable, printable quizzes and charts

There are so many new advances in brain research! Harvard experts created this exciting online course to help you understand how the brain works and how it changes as you age.

Not too long ago, much of the medical research that was done focused on increasing our lifespan. Today, our goal isn't simply to reach our 80s or 90s, but to stay mentally sharp so we can be active and enjoy those extra years. To help you do just that, Harvard experts created this exciting online course that helps you understand how the brain works and how it changes as you age, and provides you with a practical, 6-step plan to take control of your brain health.
You'll see why scientists now know our brains don't "shrink" with age, but we actually generate hundreds of new neurons each day, through a process called neurogenesis. You'll learn how stress and lack of sleep can slow down this process, while aerobic exercise can help speed it up! You'll find out why people tend to think more slowly as they age (the myelin sheath covering nerves wears down and slows the speed of communication between neurons), but your ability to "see the big picture" improves with age.
You'll be amazed by what medical experts call neuroplasticity — your brain's miraculous ability to rewire itself and create new connections that bypass areas that may be injured or damaged by disease. Best of all, by staying mentally and physically active you can maintain, or even improve, your ability to stay mentally sharp as you age.
