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.

Researchers propose that Parkinson’s disease may start in the gut, not the brain

How will this change your competent? doctor's protocols that will prevent Parkinsons? Oh NO, your doctor HAS NOTHING! And the incompetent? board of directors hasn't fired them yet?

With your risk of Parkinsons post stroke, WHAT EXACTLY WILL YOUR DOCTOR DO TO PREVENT THIS?

Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017 

The latest here: 

Researchers propose that Parkinson’s disease may start in the gut, not the brain

Scientists propose that Parkinson’s disease may begin far from the brain, where environmental toxins, microbiome disruption, and intestinal barrier damage interact to ignite the biological cascade leading to neurodegeneration.

Environmental insults reduce gut resilience and initiate convergent mechanisms that drive Parkinson’s disease. A lifetime of environmental insults (including Western diets and food additives, nano- and microplastics, pesticides and herbicides, industrial solvents, and air pollution) act on the intestinal microbiome and barrier. These exposures promote microbiota dysbiosis, disrupt tight junctions, and erode the mucus layer, collectively reducing gut resilience. Once this peripheral defense is compromised, several mechanistic pathways propagate pathology to the brain: (a) amyloid seeding by bacterial functional amyloids, (b) maladaptive T cell education and autoimmune responses, (c) microbiome-driven metabolic shifts that generate neurotoxic metabolites and reduce short-chain fatty acids, and (d) systemic inflammatory amplification. Together, these processes lower the threshold for α-syn misfolding, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration.

A recent perspective published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that PD may, in some individuals, begin in the gut, driven by environmental exposures and changes in the microbiome.
