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.

Paraphrased for stroke:
Great minds solve stroke problems, average minds do meta analysis, small minds write press releases on stroke.

Folic acid supplements, which are commonly taken by women during pregnancy to keep neural birth defects at bay, could actually be helpful in reducing the risk of stroke as well, particularly for patients affected by high blood pressure, the findings of a new Chinese study have revealed.
“If all that is required to prevent the greatest health threat worldwide is a vitamin, then we need to consider checking patients’ blood levels of folic acid and supplementing if needed,” said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, who is a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital, explains.
This study was led by Dr Yong Huo from the Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, and the team tracked the outcomes for more than 20,000 patients in China who were affected by high blood pressure, but did not have any prior history of a heart attack or stroke.
