Stroke Awareness and Prevention Without Drugs

Jan 08, 2024 By Michael Grant White

Did you know that every 40 seconds, someone in the United States experiences a stroke? Knowing the signs and symptoms of stroke can perhaps help you save a life. Remember, during a stroke, every second counts!

Stroke Awareness and Prevention Without Drugs

Stroke Identification

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word, and I agreed. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.

Please read:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food – while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the afternoon.

Ingrid's husband called later, saying that his wife had been taken to the hospital and passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some stroke victims don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within three hours, he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke, totally.

He said the trick was having a stroke recognized and diagnosed and then getting the patient medically cared for within three hours, which is tough.

Recognizing a Stroke

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps.

Read and Learn!

Sometimes, the symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now, doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S – Ask the individual to SMILE.

T – Ask the person to TALK, to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)

R – Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

Note: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke. If he/she has trouble with any one of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

Here's more:

SUDDEN numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg – especially on one side of the body
SUDDEN confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
SUDDEN trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
SUDDEN trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
SUDDEN severe headache with no known cause.

Call 911 immediately if you have any of these symptoms.

Look Twice, Save a Life!!!

Develop your breathing, and you may reduce the possibility of stroke.

Last but not least, according to a recent survey, “We know oxygen is critical to brain function and has often been connected with partial to complete recovery from strokes.

Regarding those with stroke history do you feel that our O2E2 Oxygen Enhanced Exercise and Rest has helped your condition in any way?” Of our Turbo Oxygen (EWOT) System users, I learned that 37.5% of the people who responded felt that O2E2 was "very, very helpful" and 37.5% answered "moderately helpful"
