Deans' stroke musings: NeuView Sunglasses Could Help Your PTSD

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.

NeuView Sunglasses Could Help Your PTSD

I'm sure that post-stroke PTSD was not tested or considered for this. But I can't see the downside so ask your doctor if this might work for your PTSD.
With a 23% chance of stroke survivors getting PTSD, your doctor should be testing for that possibility and providing solutions to PTSD.

Robert (Bob) Buck

Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, 19July 2016 - Having worked with scores of PTSD sufferers thru the years, Robert Buck, psychotherapist and inventor of NeuView Glasses, believes his specially designed sunglasses can help restore a sense of safety and well being to those who suffer from PTSD.
According to Buck, "When you have PTSD you no longer trust in your own ability to regulate your thoughts and emotions. They just go where they will and carry you along with them. You're at their mercy. It's scary and it's depressing."
He goes on to explain, "Neuroscientists are increasingly concluding this is a direct result of impaired inter-hemispheric connectivity. In other words, trauma has caused the two hemispheres of our brain to be out of sync. When that happens, our ability to accurately perceive reality is compromised, big time."
NeuView Glasses are designed to enhance the brain's ability to restore inter-hemispheric connectivity.
The glasses, looking not all that different from a pair of wraparound sports sunglasses, are based upon the solid science of a leading neuro-researcher at Harvard Medical School, and have been endorsed by mental health professionals in the U.S. and abroad. The glasses have side sections that can be raised to let in more light on one side or the other. Because of their unique design, when more light is directed in from the side, it acts to stimulate that side of the brain opposite the light source. For example, when the right side window is raised, the left-brain is stimulated, and vice versa.
Buck explains, "With the glasses, we are able to selectively stimulate the hemispheres which results in an increase of neuronal activity which, in turn, result in an improved ability to create connections neuron to neuron and, hemisphere to hemisphere. The result is a more accurate read of what's going on around us, and an improved ability to respond appropriately. For instance, the Fourth of July fireworks can be recognized to be just that, fireworks, and not "incoming mortars".
While the NeuView Glasses can be used as a part of a formal therapy process, Buck believes their greatest value is as a self-help tool. He points out, "They are safe, direct, and non-invasive. Most importantly, they are available without an appointment, 24/7/365 days of the year."
