Deans' stroke musings: The Type of Spirituality Linked to Healthier Mind And Body

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.

The Type of Spirituality Linked to Healthier Mind And Body

I'm an outlier then because I have no spiritual belief. One of my psychologists in the hospital tried to get me to answer whether I believed my body failed me by having the stroke. I said no and the more I thought about it the more it became obvious that my body is what saved my life. My excellent physical condition, my brain reserve from learning new programming languages often. My mental health is excellent.

People who believe God loves them and forgives them have better mental health, a new study finds.
In contrast, those who hold negative spiritual beliefs tend to have worse mental health.
Negative spiritual beliefs include believing that God is punishing you or feeling abandoned.
Professor Brick Johnstone, one of the study’s authors, said:

“In general, the more religious or spiritual you are, the healthier you are, which makes sense. ( I see no reason for why this statement should be assumed true.)
But for some individuals, even if they have even the smallest degree of negative spirituality — basically, when individuals believe they’re ill because they’ve done something wrong and God is punishing them — their health is worse.”
