People are too often still not recognizing signs of a stroke.
The incredible thing about strokes is that if care is taken quickly, within a couple hours of the first signs of a stroke, the after effects can be great minimized OR EVEN avoided entirely. I know of a person who was able to make a full recovery within a year after a stroke based on getting her into the emergency room as fast as possible.
Most of you know how I feel about doctors and hospitals. There are exceptions to everything. And as I’ve stated repeatedly, the western world of medicine in most parts of the world that practice it, excel in trauma care. That should be there sole focus in my opinion; get rid of 90% of the pharmaceutical drugs, and reserve doctors and hospitals for accidents and emergencies, and we will have ourselves an ethical and productive world of medicine.
WARNING SIGNS OF STROKE:
-Sudden numbness or weakness in the 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 severe headache without any known origin
Ask the person to smile, and look for a crooked smile.
Ask them to speak a phrase such as “don’t cry over spilled milk” (just about any sentence) and look for slurring of words.
Ask them to raise their arms up to head level out at their sides, and look for an imbalance.
A great remedy to have on hand at all times is a capsule of cayenne pepper. NOT to take the capsule…but to instead break it open and get the raw cayenne pepper into the mouth with a little water if possible. Yes it will burn a bit, which will heal. It will also increase blood flow to the brain.
THIS TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN SAID TO BE GREAT FOR HEART ATTACKS AS WELL.
