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.

How Mouthwash Can Affect Stroke Risk

This is probably one of the few articles in NSAs' StrokeSmart magazine that I actually got some useful information out of. But it still didn't tell us about the disruption of nitrate production and how that affects the usefulness of nitric oxide. But baby steps.

A new study by Queen Mary University in London found that mouthwashes that use the active ingredient chlorhexidine can increase blood pressure. Chlorhexidine kills nitrite production in your body, which prevents blood vessels from dilating. It’s this process which can increase blood pressure.
