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.

What Do Baked Potatoes Have To Do With Stroke?

Potassium. And I bet your hospital does not have a diet high in potassium. Other than orange juice and milk there was not a single item from here in my hospital foods. And just how incompetent is your stroke hospital? That's a question for your hospital president

Selected paragraphs.
An even larger analysis, published last year in the British Medical Journal, found a similar effect: A higher potassium intake decreased stroke risk by 24 percent in people with high blood pressure. All that was needed was an extra two to three servings of fruits or vegetables a day.
In the Swedish study, researchers found that stroke risk decreased as people’s reported potassium intake went up. For every 1,000 mg. increase in daily potassium, the odds of suffering a stroke in the next five to 14 years dropped by 11 percent.
Here are some potassium-rich foods:
Acorn squash, cooked, 1 cup: 896 mg.
Baked potato with skin: 844 mg.
Spinach, cooked, 1 cup: 838 mg.
Lentils, cooked, 1 cup: 731 mg.
Kidney beans, cooked, 1 cup: 713 mg.
Split peas, cooked, 1 cup: 710 mg.
Sweet potato, baked: 694 mg.
Butternut squash, cooked, 1 cup: 583 mg.
Raisins, 1/2 cup: 553 mg.
Avocado, 3 ounces: 540 mg.
Yogurt, low-fat, plain, 1 cup: 531 mg.
Halibut, cooked, 3 ounces: 490 mg.
Banana, medium: 451 mg.
Cantaloupe, 1/4 : 412 mg.
Rainbow trout, farmed, cooked, 3 ounces: 382 mg.
Orange juice, 3/4 cup: 355 mg.
Milk, low-fat, 1 cup: 348 mg.
Broccoli, cooked, 1 cup: 332 mg.
