Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 STROKE: Remember The First Three Letters... STROKE IDENTIFICATION: It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the "3" steps, STR . Sometimes 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 speak a simple sentence. (like : It is sunny out today, coherently)R - Ask him or her to raise both arms. Also, ask the person to 'stick' out the tongue...if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side that is also an indication of a stroke. Dr. Leo Rebello recommends following immediate steps oncestroke has been identified :-1.. Rest the patient and fan him or her.2.. Do not give anything stimulating to drink.3.. Take a clean needle, sterilize it if necessary,and prick all ten fingers of the hand, one by one, drawing outa drop or two of blood from each finger.4.. Apply homeopathic Arnica tincture on every finger before andafter the needle prick.5.. Then prick the ears, both lobes (bottom side) and likewise allow one or two drops from each ear lobe. Apply Arnica before andafter pricking the needle.6.. Give Arnica and Hypericum, 5 drops each, in one table spoonof warm water by mouth.By the above method, a stroke patient will recover within half an hour. But if you rush him in the ambulance, get himto do several tests (involving movement), not only a lot of precious time will be lost, but the movement on the stretcher, in the ambulance, and the drugs pumped into the patient will do more harm.
