Harvard Medical School experts reveal the best ways to prevent a stroke!

You had better hope that prevention works because nothing post-stroke works. You're screwed if you have a stroke.

1. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
2. tPA only fully works to reverse the stroke 12% of the time. Known since 1996.
3. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
4. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
5. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
6. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
7. No published stroke protocols.
8. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.

Dear dean,

During a stroke, every second counts.

Without a supply of oxygen and nutrients provided by the blood, brain cells die at a shocking rate of 1.9 million per minute.

No wonder stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. and also a major cause of disability.

That means your independence and your life just might come down to knowing the signs and symptoms of a stroke so you can get treatment before permanent damage occurs. To help you do this, Harvard Medical School experts created a report called Stroke.

This report covers everything from lifesaving stroke facts, to health problems that increase your risk for stroke, to secrets for regaining function after a stroke. You’ll discover:

• How treating high blood pressure can reduce your chance of having a stroke by as much as 40%
• 7 important drugs that dissolve or prevent blood clots
• Why people with diabetes are at increased risk for strokes — and two ways to reduce the risk
• One of the most common causes of stroke in people under 50 — and the symptoms you need to watch for, especially if you see a chiropractor
• How Botox can help people who have trouble speaking clearly after a stroke
• And so much more!

Plus, you’ll get a Special Bonus Section on the changes you can make to help prevent a first or second stroke, such as how exercise can help lower your risk of stroke as much as 30%, how increasing potassium intake can reduce the risk of ischemic strokes, and why some women may want to take a daily aspirin.
