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.

Cocoa Flavanols Show Anti-Inflammatory Effects

 

Was this earlier research not good enough to write up protocols? Do your incompetent? doctors even know about this earlier research? NO protocols on cocoa from your incompetent doctors? RUN AWAY!

Send me hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? What is your definition of stroke doctor competence?

Cocoa Flavanols Show Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Summary: A large clinical trial found that cocoa flavanol supplements can lower age-related inflammation, potentially explaining their heart-protective effects. Researchers analyzed blood samples and discovered a consistent reduction in hsCRP, a biomarker tied to cardiovascular risk, among participants taking cocoa extract.
Other inflammatory markers stayed relatively stable, though some shifts, like an increase in immune-related interferon-γ, raised new questions. These findings highlight cocoa flavanols as a promising tool for modulating inflammation while reinforcing the importance of plant-based foods in healthy aging.Key FactshsCRP Reduction: Cocoa extract lowered this key inflammatory marker by 8.4% yearly.Heart Protection: Results support prior evidence of reduced cardiovascular mortality in the COSMOS trial.Dietary Insight: Flavanol-rich foods like cocoa, berries, and tea may support healthy aging.Source: Mass General Could cocoa extract supplements rich in cocoa flavanols reduce inflammation and, in turn, prevent age-related chronic diseases?In a new study from the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS), investigators from Mass General Brigham and their colleagues looked at changes in five age-related markers of inflammation among participants who received daily cocoa supplements over several years.This shows a heart and cocoa beans
The decrease in hsCRP may help explain the cardio-protective effects seen with cocoa extract supplement in the larger COSMOS trial, where participants experienced a reduction in cardiovascular disease death. Credit: Neuroscience News
