Proven Stroke Recovery Techniques From the Stroke Survivor Who Lived It
| Source: Roger Maxwell
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - November 11, 2008) - Every single second, someone suffers a
devastating stroke, more than 600,000 annually in the United States alone,
leaving more than four million stroke survivors -- half of whom are left
with left with lifelong infirmities affecting speech, movement and even
thought.
Roger Maxwell, author of the new book "Taking Charge of Your Stroke
Recovery: A Personal Recovery Workbook" (www.takingchargebooks.com),
suffered a massive stroke in his late 40s. Advised he could only "cross
his fingers and wait" when insurance-paid hospital rehab ended leaving him
severely disabled, Maxwell realized he had to take charge of his own stroke
recovery.
In the course of his research through reams of medical literature, Maxwell
developed unique methods to rehabilitate his physical health and mental
functions. He succeeded, teaching himself to speak and walk again, to jog
and ultimately to run marathons.
"Taking Charge of Your Stroke Recovery: A Personal Recovery Workbook" is a
step-by-step, home-based recovery method that reveals clinically proven
recovery techniques, and includes these little-known facts:
1. Far more stroke survivors can fully recover from the effects of stroke
than currently do. The brain's structure and function are virtually the
same in everyone, so each person has the same capacity to recover if the
right things are done, as confirmed by many scientific studies.
2. Good brain nutrition is important. We know that cutting off oxygen to
the brain for ten minutes can cause irreparable damage. Likewise, the
presence or absence of certain nutrients can have a rapid and profound
effect on your brain.
3. Doing the right exercises the right way is key. Intensive, aggressive
and repetitive exercise and practice are the best at helping people improve
anything, including recovering from stroke disabilities.
Roger Maxwell says that when he first suffered the stroke, all his
functions were affected except for thinking. As an experienced patent
attorney who understands research, he was able to develop the "right
things" to do, including forms of exercise, nutrition, thinking skills
rehabilitation and how your caregiver can best help. Maxwell's book is
