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.

Pairing These Foods Together Could Increase Your Risk of Dementia

Well, something for your doctor to accomplish.  You already have a good chance of getting dementia, make sure you get a protocol from your doctor on dementia prevention, NOT A GUIDELINE, THAT IS COMPLETELY FUCKING WORTHLESS.

We need protocols for all these:

For stroke prevention; for dementia prevention; for cognitive improvement; for cholesterol reduction; for plaque removal; for Parkinsons prevention; for inflammation reduction; for blood pressure reduction. 

THIS IS YOUR DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY! Why are you giving them a pass? Guidelines don't count.

Pairing These Foods Together Could Increase Your Risk of Dementia

According to a new study published in the journal Neurology, how you combine certain foods together in your diet that could raise your risk of dementia.
People in the study who developed dementia were more likely to combine highly processed meats—such as sausages and cured meats—with starchy foods like potatoes, alcohol, and sugary snacks such as cookies and cakes.
The biggest takeaway? It’s best to consume a diverse diet that offers a combination of healthy nutrients, including vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids from plant foods, as well as good fats and protein.
An abundance of previous research has linked less-than-healthy foods like sugary snacks and deep-fried anything with poorer brain health compared to those who opt for healthier choices. But a new study in the journal Neurology suggests that what foods you eat together can be important when it comes to your risk of dementia.
Researchers asked 1,522 participants to complete a comprehensive dietary survey in 2002, including a qualitative food frequency questionnaire. At a followup 12 years later, they looked at 209 participants who had developed dementia, as well as 418 people who did not.
They used the data to create “food networks,” which identified what type of foods were eaten most in combination, and whether those groups of foods were substantially different between those who had dementia and those who didn’t.
Researchers found that the people who developed dementia were more likely to combine highly processed meats—such as sausages and cured meats—with starchy foods like potatoes, alcohol, and sugary snacks such as cookies and cakes.
“Processed meat appeared very central in their diet, which means it was connected with many foods,” lead author Cecilia Samieri, Ph.D., an epidemiologist at the University of Bordeaux, told Bicycling. “Worse eating habits toward processed meats and snacking were evident years before dementia diagnosis. In contrast, diverse and healthy diets appear to decrease the risk of developing dementia.”
In other words, it wasn’t the processed meat on its own that seemed problematic, she said, but the way its consumption was connected with so many other items that are considered less healthy, such as pasta, jam, and potatoes. (It’s worth noting, however, that athletes like cyclists can benefit from using these foods as fuel when fast-acting carbs and sugars are necessary to prevent from bonking on a long ride.)

The study does have some limitations though. Most notably, it required participants to recall what they ate rather than have their consumption monitored by researchers. Also, it did not track diet patterns over time, to see if changes made any difference.
Even with those caveats, the study does provide good evidence about the importance of diet diversity, according to the study’s coauthor, Abhijeet Sonawane, Ph.D., a research fellow in medicine at Harvard Medical School.
“Diversity is likely protective because it provides a combination of healthy nutrients, including vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids from plant foods, as well as good fats and protein,” he told Bicycling. “People in our study who did not develop dementia were more likely to have a lot of diversity in their diets, and that included healthier foods.”

  1. Well possibly it was not the combination of processed meat and carbs, sugars, alcohol etc, but the fact that the person ATE a lot of carbs, sugars, and drank alcohol that was the real issue.
