The leaders are out there in the survivor population, the doctors have totally failed us in getting anywhere useful about stroke rehab.

My reply to this blog, awaiting moderation.
All we really have to do is use the existing research in the last 5 years and create protocols that will save neurons from the cascade of death. If you are following research at all these are easily recognizable.
1. Statins.
tested in rats from 2003
Or,
tested in humans, March, 2011

2. Fish oil.
either by injection
or a feeding tube
3. Leg compressions
4. anti-depressants - real ones
5. music listening
6. Sensation overload
the human equivalent of rat whisker stimulation.
7. Coffee - I want many cups a day
Coffee may help perk up your blood vessels
reduce my dementia chances
delay my Alzheimers chances
reduce my Parkinsons risk
8. CerAxon
9. Peptide application
10. Action observation
Videos of everything from walking, running, jumping to finger ballet, baseball throwing, piano playing, eating. Every minute of the day not spent in traditional rehab should be watching videos, including during meals, that would work on multitasking.
11. bFGF administered intravenously
12. Viagra - Ladies, I don't know how you're going to convince your doctor why you need this, maybe say its for your spouse and you want to make sure your lady parts are still working. Only tested in rats.
13. Training in lucid dreaming.
14. Eptifibatide
15. dietary olive leaf extract
16. ebselen - neuroprotective treatment? within 48 hours
17. diabetes drug linagliptin
18. Etazolate, an α-secretase activator
19. Glibenclamide - administered intravenously 6, 12, and 24 hours after reperfusion
20. Paeoniflorin (PF) - PF treatment for 14 days
21. administration of nontoxic carbon particles
22. Ibuprofen
23. Ceria nanoparticles
24. Head-of-Bed Optimization of Elevation
25. antibiotic minocycline
26. neurotransmitter precursor levodopa
27. Inhalation of nitric oxide
28. old flu drug amantadine
29. Melatonin
30. opiate antagonists — Effects of exogenous antagonists and dynorphin
What is the downside of doing all of these to save trillions of neurons from dying?
