Deans' stroke musings: Quality of plant-based diet and risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke

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.

Quality of plant-based diet and risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke

I absolutely hate research like this. It gives ammunition to your doctor to blame the patient and is a 'get out of jail free' card for the doctor in not having 100% recovery rehab protocols.

Journal Summary

Researchers looked at the links between plant-based diet quality and the risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke to see if a healthful plant-based diet is linked to a lower risk of stroke. Participants included 73,890 women from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS; 1984–2016), 92,352 women from NHSII (1991–2017), and 43,266 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986–2012) who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. Six thousand two hundred forty-one total stroke cases (including 3,015 ischemic and 853 hemorrhagic strokes) were documented during the follow-up. Despite the small number of cases, no link was found between a vegetarian diet and total stroke. Those who followed a healthful plant-based diet had a lower risk of total stroke.
