Thank you for this information. I have had 3 little strokes and am someone who needs this.
Bravo young lady!!!! Bravo for your love for humanity and your blessings of intelligence. I am so proud of you!!! God Bless your work and your family and your support staff!!! The very famous Jimmy Houston’s wife of 57 years had a massive stroke 3 weeks ago today. They live in Oklahoma. Please pray for her recovery folks. They are some of the finest people on earth. Thanks in advance and praising our God for a world wide revival and healing for those in need. ☀️💜🎣🎣🎣
I can imagine how saddening it is to see a loved one suddenly ill like this. Please use these examples as teachable moments and warnings to younger persons to adopt better choices in daily life: e.g., what they eat and avoid; what they drink and don't; wholesome physical activity (nothing cheaper and simpler than a brisk walk every day, enjoying fresh air and the wonder of God's garden/Creation). Perhaps, if more people visited the sick and the elderly and saw the end of persons' choices (those that did the wrong things for their health and lose decades of healthy years versus those that did make good habits and live to 100 years or more with all their functions intact), they would be inspired to choose what promotes lifelong wellness and to avoid the temptations and distractions that abound.
Joining in petition for a worldwide revival! Amen.
Long awaited Ted talk. This topic hits so close to home
I just had two mini-strokes. Thank you for your hard work! I live in Louisville, KY.
How has it affected your daily functioning?
I had no idea there was a stroke belt. I live in Texas and had a stroke a year ago. Recovery has been long, but rewarding and I will help advocate for more research into breakthroughs like this.
thank you for this speech. it shows how messed up our society, medicine and research is. "Life without stroke" should play a greater role than "life after stroke". But that is exactly the problem of medicine and monetarily driven research. Fighting symptoms instead of causes. If you look at the numbers, since when brain strokes increase, you should rather research lifestyle, nutrition and environmental factors.
Hi from Niger living in libya ,,good job Madame
This is a subject close to my heart. Yes, this is a wonderful development but it too is years down the road and will be very expensive. We need to deal with NOW. My dad had his first stroke at 54. The vessel that was blocked it should have killed him. It didn't. The MD said to get him a babysitter! Our family MD had some kind of connections because he got my dad into a program that had a waiting list of 1 year, in 2 weeks. The sooner the better!! Sadly not everyone receives that. We need more and more programs as the population grows older. He came back so much further than anyone gave him credit to be able to do in the beginning. Sorry, I dont think you can necessarily predict how someone is going to do. There are so many other factors than just an MRI. That's all I can say from my little soapbox because I could go on for pages. If there are folks out there who are in the middle of this, my heart is with you. Keep fighting and don't take no for an answer.
Very interesting subject and touched by your passion when you talk about it
Wonderful insights and information :-)
The best strategy is prevention, education, and promotion, rather than rehabilitation, curative, and palliative approaches. Going down the pharmaceutical path is extremely expensive (from development to approval to manufacture and delivery, not to mention the high cost of errors, misuse, overprescription, and side-effects).
Brent, I am a stroke survivor....and maybe not typical...but they have not been able to find an explanation for why the blood clot was able to reach my brain. So, prevention, education and promotion wouldn't have done any good.
@@lisadesrosiers2261 The opposite conclusion is true: of course, they would have done much good. With appropriate education about wellness, nutrition, and lifestyle, and daily prevention, you could avoid harmful clots altogether. Whether they affect your eyes, your brain, your lungs, or your extremities, such clots (along with heart-attacks, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and strokes) are only symptoms of the cumulative results underlying habits and choices . . . That is why we must emphasise daily good choices and health-promoting habits: e.g., in every meal, in everything that we cook (and how), in choosing to be more physically active and less sedentary, etc. On that last point, one of my cousins used to be very health-conscious and physically active but once she stopped exercising and began to be lazy about her dietary habits, she became overweight instead of fit, and developed clots in her lungs in her late 30s and early 40s.
Thank you for the talk, can anyone tell me why hyperbaric chambers are not common place in all gyms and healthcare centers all over the USA? Exposure to hyperbaric chambers can drastically improve blood flow and healing in general!
We do not get the use of the oxygen chambers here in Arkansas either 😔
I need the use of one for severe circulatory issues
Thank tou for good information
Wish you well 🇳🇱
Very Touching
Love this!!’ Great job please keep up the great work.
Love your work!! So inspiring 🙏✨
Thanks 😊 for the Information.
Extremely informative thank you and God bless 🙏
Diet and lifestyle in this specific area of the USA?
Hi ma'am I'm from the Philippines God bless ma'am...

Wonderful subject!
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Exactly sir
Investing in crypto currency is one of the best chance of making money
Crypto is the future
Buy gold and crypto
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
Is this therapy available to stroke survivors today? And is it effective for hemorrhagic strokes?
هاي كايز اني امتابعتكم من العراق 🇮🇶 احبكم اهواي اتمنى اتخلولي قلب ❤

It has been almost 8 years since my husbands massive stroke. Now he has dementia would or could this help him??????

Hi from Indonesia
We need national health insurance for all! Without it, even if you develop these approaches, most people won't be able to afford them.
This is a fair concern and should be considered! As our healthcare system continues to encourage and fund futuristic, therapeutic interventions, we need the structural stability to increase patient access to care. The cost our current healthcare and insurance systems place on patients is astronomical compared to other countries who do have socialist societies and national health insurance. Affordability should be a high priority for new treatments, and I agree the change needs to be made on a larger, policy-based scale!
Sadly lacking. This is All recovery AFTER the event - not a mention or reference to _Prevention_ ; OR WHY the stats are higher in the 'Stroke belt'.
Samantha, you mentioned in the first minute or so, that they were eating icecream and other dairy products every day. Did you not notice your grandparents' dietary patterns and lifestyle habits? Sedentary lifestyles, fried foods, junk, added sugars, added salts, artificial ingredients, mass-produced dairy products, meats exposed to antibiotics and manufactured fertilisers and feeds, etc., can all contribute to poor health-outcomes.
While clearly these are all contributing factors let us not forget that she was not saying she was trying to first change the lifestyle of the region noted to be the Stroke Belt of America not the habits of the elderly. She is proposing the potential for improved treatment and ways to get that treatment to the people who need it. I find your comment insensitive. While any after the fact armchair quarterbacking may seem valuable to you. It is merely blaming rather than accepting what is and finding solutions.
@@demetricadement1138 Education, self-responsibility, and prevention are solutions. They are highly effective and cost little or nothing . . . compared with overpriced pharmaceutical and after-the-fact approaches that bankrupt numerous families every year.
@@demetricadement1138 I have lived long enough to see too many premature funerals (including several of my close friends and relatives); so this is personal and not merely backseat or armchair theorising. Not being insensitive, but rather facing reality, I also have come to realise that not everyone can be helped (and/or even wants to be helped) when the damage is already done. That is why the focus needs to be on early education, prevention, and daily habits from school-years in order to minimise the scourge of preventable, N.C.D.s plaguing our elderly, challenging our medical systems, and filling hospital-beds. It is like the simple choice of daily rinsing, brushing and flossing for optimal oral hygiene . . . or paying 5 to 6 figures for drugs and surgery . . . after knowingly eating and drinking the wrong things every day for decades.
Put Dr. in the title of the video.

Hi every one
1:46 is she saying "breakfast"??? I can't tell, it's so gurbled
Respekt for your Research. What about the the root cause? Pollution, wrong nutrient and high frequency microwaves etc.
I have dementia and I've just discovered that this histrionic manner of speech makes me mad. Hope this stimulates the vascular supply of my brain.

Strokes? No worries. Spooky 2 knows.
Who do you recommend we give money for research…American Stroke Association? Please identify.
Sie kokettiert. Warum?
There's a cure for stroke and there always has been but nice video though👍
And what is the cure?
@@shitalkanitkar5995 just check the correlation of incidents in „the stroke belt“ during the last 30 years to the number of mc donalds restaurants in the same area 🧮
There's no cure for stroke. What are you talking about? Prevention is the best thing we have right now through healthy lifestyles, but there's definitely no cure lol.
