"An untreated control group of stroke patients also participated in the study. Over the next three to five years, there was a 17 percent reduction in the incidence of little strokes, which the doctors attributed to the C-complex therapy: only three of the test subjects had ministrokes. In the control group, eighteen had ministrokes, and eighteen severe strokes. Five of the severe strokes were fatal.19 In other experiments, some 75 out of 100 patients were protected from the possibility of stroke, apparently by bioflavonoid therapy, even though they all suffered from severe high blood pressure." - Gary Null, The Complete Guide to Health and Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Women who had ever used oral contraceptives showed an increased risk of stroke and fatal stroke, all other factors being adjusted for. P.C. Hannaford et al., "Oral Contraception and Stroke: Evidence from the Royal College of General Practitioners' Oral Contraception Study," stroke 25, no. 5 (May 1994): 935-42.

"If a clot forms in a blood vessel leading to your brain and shuts off its blood supply, the result is a stroke, explains Gerald Fletcher, M.D., professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Strokes are so similar to heart attacks, in fact, that Dr. Fletcher calls them brain attacks. Sometimes, strokes are preceded by mini-strokes, which occur when blood flow to the brain is temporarily blocked. The effects of mini-strokes are usually short-lived and reversible." - The Editors of PREVENTION, Prevention's Healing With Motion: An All-New Approach to Health and Healing Based on Simple Mind and Body Exercises (Get the book.)

"Glutamate in Stroke High levels of free glutamate in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, that is, brain fluid, are released in patients with stroke. This is the basis for the use of experimental antiglutamate treatments. The first 24 hours seem to be most important if the stroke is progressive while for a stable/contained stroke the first six hours show elevation in glutamate. With the increased awareness of neurotoxic effects of free glutamate, patients with strokes should receive low free glutamate diets to assist in reducing neurologic deterioration." - George R.

"Then in September 2000, I received a hospital call informing me that Mom had suffered a stroke. The cancer had metastasized to her brain. The doctors said that no one ever recovered from this type of stroke. My sister and I rushed to see her. We spent the next five days by her side talking to her, even though she was in a coma. I went days without sleep, holding her hand and telling her it was okay to pass on. I thought ?not even saying out loud ?"Mom, you know you have to cross over. If you agree, please cough." To my astonishment, she coughed immediately!" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Reducing salt in the diet has been shown to slightly lower the risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and heart attack. Reducing salt intake by six grams per day results in an average lowering of the systolic blood pressure by about four mm of mercury in people with high blood pressure. This may not seem like much, but over the entire U.S. population, this slight reduction could reduce the prevalence of heart attacks by 6 percent and the risk of strokes by 15 percent." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"If sufficient amounts of blood do not reach the heart—as would be the case with low blood volume—then stroke volume will be low. But stroke volume can also be low if something is wrong with the heart. One of the earliest symptoms of cardiac dysfunction is exertion-related fatigue. Could underlying heart disease cause CFS? We certainly know that if a heart is damaged either by a heart attack, infection, or having to pump against pressure, as in the case of hypertension, the heart goes through a lengthy process of dealing with the insult. Often, it doesn't completely recover." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Oxygen under pressure speeds the healing of certain tissues, and now emergency room doctors and cardiologists are finding that benefits accrue to stroke patients as well. In the future, the hyperbaric chambers may help prevent stroke-related paralysis, some experts assert. For information, contact the American Heart Association at 800-242-8721. SUNBURN • Aloe Alternatives Once you're through feeling guilty for overdoing the sun or underdoing the SPF-25 sunscreen, hop in a cool shower or bath.

"Since those early days, biofeedback has become well established as a therapy for virtually every chronic condition, from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to menopausal hot flashes. stroke patients and victims of spinal-cord injuries now use biofeedback to rehabilitate or regain the use of paralyzed muscles. It has proved invaluable in eliminating the pain felt in a phantom limb.44 Astronauts have even used biofeedback to cure motion sickness while journeying to outer space." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "In support of Leibovici, many scientists interested in psychical research claimed that the study offered proof that prayer was effective at any point in time: Larry Dossey, who has also written extensively on "non-local" consciousness and healing,5 commented that, in a stroke, Leibovici had turned "conventional notions of time, space, prayer, consciousness and causality" on their heads.6 Many others commented that Leibovici had been undone by the very meticulousness of his study design." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"It appears that the various components of the Mediterranean Diet do promote lower inflammation, oxidative stress, and serum protein levels, which in turn lower risk for vascular problems that can contribute to brain aging—hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. A diet high in fruits and vegetables will also suffuse bodies with micronutrients and antioxidants that may protect the brain by mopping up free radicals potentially hazardous to neurons. Was Mom right about fruits and vegetables?" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Economic and social stressors •Spread of the Western media, which encourages consumption •Increase in portion size •Pervasiveness of cars and global transportation •Possible genetic disposition to overconsume These rising rates of obesity have led to a higher incidence of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, kidney failure, and pregnancy complications, and also portend negative consequences for the brain." - Peter J.

"In it, she describes how illness-inspired writing and storytelling has proliferated in the last several decades, and that whether people are writing about their experience of AIDS, autism, bulimia, cancer, schizophrenia, stroke, or Alzheimer's disease, most people tend to choose archetypal narratives such as journey and rebirth to make sense of their condition." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Some studies have demonstrated that eleva- 12 O tions in the level of an amino acid called homocysteine are associated with increased risk for stroke and a loss of cognitive performance characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Folic acid and vitamins B]2 and B6 are co-factors in homocysteine's metabolic pathways, and their presence in the body may potentially lower levels of this substance. This has prompted some physicians to recommend the three vitamins as supplements." - Peter J.

"You may actually have a physiological problem; and its one that puts you at risk for developing metabolic syndrome, a precursor to heart disease and stroke. The researchers also found that it is impaired mitochondrial function that underlies the metabolic problems for those rats that tended to be couch potatoes. And they theorize that it's the impaired mitochondria that may be the missing link between low fitness levels and cardiovascular risk. The researchers believe that mitochondria, in fact, play a critical role in producing energy for physical exercise. I agree whole heartedly." - Stephen T.

"Diabetes-related deaths have jumped 45 percent since 1987, while death rates from heart disease, stroke, and cancer have actually decreased. Diabetes deaths are independent of those general trends. In response to a study published in the January 1, 2003, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association {JAMA), which used Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data to show a recent increase in diagnosed diabetes as well as a significant association between overweight and obesity and diabetes, CDC director Dr. Julie L." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The final stroke of the drawing is complete just as the plane touches the ground, and by this time the pilot is emotionally frazzled, believing that he's killing his friend. Well, you can imagine what happens next: As the pilot lands, he realizes that somehow the wheels are working. He maneuvers the plane to a stop. Immediately, the crew bolt from their places throughout the cabin, jump onto the tarmac, and begin running for safety." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Among the risk factors for depression in older adults are the presence of other illnesses including diabetes, stroke, and heart disease; recent bereavement; chronic or severe pain; fear of death; previous history of depression; and substance abuse. Many medications have side effects that can cause or exacerbate the symptoms of depression. Although it is not unusual for people to feel sad, grief-stricken, or lonely in later years, true depression is marked by persistent symptoms that interfere with the ability to function in daily life." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Mobilization of bone and muscle as buffers These lead to the metabolic syndrome, which carries an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Why You Need Magnesium, Too If you don't have enough magnesium to jump-start your bodily functions, you won't be able to produce the activated form of vitamin D and energize it to do its business of gene regulation. Lacking the proper amount of magnesium, you may become resistant to vitamin D. Magnesium is so important that without it, we would cease to exist." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Over time, all of these changes can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. The nutrients you eat regulate your metabolism and determine how well it works. A diet high in magnesium—an alkaline mineral?improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control. Saturated fats and simple carbohydrates, on the other hand, make you store energy as fat and reduce your insulin sensitivity. Omega-3 fatty acids stop fat production and improve insulin sensitivity. What you eat runs your metabolism." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)
