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.

Strong Marriages May Rewire Brain–Gut Signals

 I'm happier than hell that I'm out of mine. 

My story: I would still be leading a life of quiet desperation if still married.

Well, at age 50 I had my stroke and the result of that is making me happy for the rest of my life.  Got divorced at age 58, fired at age 56. All leading to moving to Michigan and finding lots of new friendships.

(Life is definitely better as I age, I got divorced enhancing my happiness immeasurably. I'm retired and comfortably well off. And healthy as I can be post stroke. I'm going to live a long time yet.)

Strong Marriages May Rewire Brain–Gut Signals

Summary: Strong emotional support within marriage may help protect against obesity by altering how the brain and gut communicate. People in highly supportive marriages showed better control of food cravings, healthier gut metabolism, and higher levels of oxytocin, a hormone linked to bonding and appetite regulation.

These biological changes were not seen in unmarried individuals or in marriages with low emotional support. The findings suggest that relationship quality may be a powerful, overlooked factor in long-term weight regulation.

Key Facts

  • Brain Control: Supportive marriages were linked to stronger activity in brain regions that regulate cravings.
  • Gut Metabolism: Emotional support was associated with healthier tryptophan-related gut metabolites tied to serotonin and energy balance.
  • Oxytocin Link: Higher oxytocin levels appeared to coordinate both appetite control and gut metabolic health.
