Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 34,264 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.

Nattokinase Promotes Post-stroke Neurogenesis and Cognition Recovery via Increasing Circulating Irisin
Didn't your doctor already get human testing going on this years ago? Or was your doctor incompetent in that part of the job also?
Do you prefer your doctor incompetence NOT KNOWING? OR NOT DOING?

Abstract

The therapeutic potential of treatments for post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is severely limited by the autonomic regeneration capacity of the adult brain. Nattokinase (NK), a serine protease from the traditional food natto, has many beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system by modulating the blood system. While the role of blood factors in neurogenesis and cognition is well-established, it remains unclear whether NK can serve as an anti-PSCI agent through these factors. Our study demonstrates that NK protects against acute ischemic stroke and impressively promotes neurogenesis in rat models by increasing peripheral blood irisin, leading to improved cognitive functions. Our findings demonstrate NK to be a promising candidate for treating PSCI, and we also highlight irisin as a novel target of NK, suggesting its potential role in the peripheral blood-to-brain axis.
