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.

Stroke heroes honoured on national stage - Australia

 If you have to declare heroes it means your hospital, doctors and therapists are complete failures at their job of getting survivors fully recovered! All those persons should be publicly shamed and fired for incompetence! If you don't make an example of them, such incompetence will continue to fester.  

Hope you're OK with not recovering when you are the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke unless you take action now to get stroke recovery solved.


Stroke heroes honoured on national stage - Australia

Stroke Foundation

Inspirational Australians from six states have been named as finalists in the 2023 Stroke Foundation Stroke Awards.

The finalists include a 14-year-old Queensland stroke survivor who is on track to one day swim alongside his idols in the 2032 Brisbane Paralympics, a personal trainer who has raised more than $77,000 for Stroke Foundation and the author of a book which features the stories of 26 young stroke survivors.

Stroke Foundation Interim Chief Executive Officer John De Rango congratulated all 18 finalists.

“We are thrilled to be able to recognise so many worthy recipients. The Stroke Awards are our way of saying thank you for your time and dedication to the stroke community,” Mr De Rango said.

“I am blown away by the calibre of the nominees. It features a diverse group of Australians who have gone above and beyond to improve the lives of those affected by stroke.”

Stroke strikes the brain and changes lives in an instant. More than 27,000 Australians have a stroke each year, which equates to one every 19 minutes.
