Stroke: Recovery with Oxygen
I was recovering from a "minor" stroke and becoming increasingly frustrated, because, hard as I worked at my therapy, things just weren't "coming back". When I learned that four million people have had a stroke here in the U.S. and are living with some sort of handicap, and that s stroke is happening every 53 seconds -- that's more than one a minute, every 24 hours -- I wanted to know more about this all-too-common medical problem.What was wrong? Why wasn't I getting better? I've always healed quickly after a sprain, a broken bone or any illness. Why was this "minor" stroke different? What could I have done to avoid it? How do doctors treat stroke patients? Why did they tell me "Stroke is an emergency. You must go immediately to the hospital". This book records the things I've learned about strokes.  The first time I read those magic words "hyperbaric oxygen therapy"  (HBOT) my life changed.
