Stroke: Recognize the Signs

Stroke is often referred to as a brain attack. It is considered the No. 1 cause of adult disability and the No. 3 cause of death in the United States. It striking more than 500,000 people every year. A stroke can happen at any age.

It is important to recognize stroke symptoms and act quickly. The effects of a stroke may include paralysis, poor memory and loss of speech.

Common stroke symptoms seen in both men and women:

-Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg (often on one side of the body)
-Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
-Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
-Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
-Sudden severe headache with no known cause

Women may report unique stroke symptoms:

-Sudden face and limb pain
-Sudden hiccups
-Sudden nausea
-Sudden general weakness
-Sudden chest pain
-Sudden shortness of breath
-Sudden palpitations

The acronym F.A.S.T. is a good way to recommend the signs of a stroke.

FAST stands for:

* Face: This tells you that if a person's face is drooping around the eye or mouth, this could be a sign of a stroke. If a person's face appears to be drooping and they are experiencing numbness, they could be having a stroke. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

* Arm: This means you should check for arm weakness. A quick test is the inability to raise both arms over head. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

* Speech: Check for speech impairment, such as slurred speech or difficulty repeating simple phrases. Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are the words slurred? Can they repeat the sentence correctly?

* Test: This is a reminder that if you do suspect a stroke, use the FAST method and seek medical attention. If the person shows any of these symptoms, time is important.

Spotting a stroke in a timely manner could allow clot-busting medications to be administered and other treatments to begin. If symptoms are spotted within three hours of onset, these people might be eligible for clot-busting medication.

One of the problems with stroke symptoms is that many people ignore them. For some, it's too late when they get to the hospital to do effective treatment options. People often think their symptoms are a big deal.

The first few minutes of a stroke are critical. Call 911, and seek attention right away.

NEEDLE CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT

 

NEEDLE CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT-- ..

From a Chinese Professor.

Keep a syringe or needlein your home to do this...It's amazing and an unconventional way of recovering from stroke, read it through it can help somebody one day.

This is amazing. Please keep this very handy. Excellent tips.
Do take a minute to read this. You'll never know, ones life may depend on you.

My father was paralyzed and later diedfrom the result of a stroke. I wish I knew about this first aidbefore.
When stroke strikes, the capillaries in the brain will gradually burst. (Irene Liu)
When a stroke occurs, stay calm.

No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her.Because, if moved, the capillaries will burst.

Help the victim to sit up where he/she is to prevent him/her from falling over againand then the blood letting can begin..

If you have in your home an injection syringethat would be the best.

Otherwise, a sewing needleor a straight pinwill do.

1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it and then use it to prick the tip of all ......10 fingers.
2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about an mm from the fingernail.
3. Prick till blood comes out.
4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.
5. When all 10 digits is bleeding, wait a few minutes then the victim will regain consciousness.

6. If the victim's mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are red.
7. Then prick each earlobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each earlobe.
After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.

Wait till the victim regains his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital.
Otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.

If he could save his life, barely managing to walk, then it is by the grace of his ancestors.
'I learned about letting blood to save life from Chinese traditional doctor, Ha Bu Ting, who lives in Sun Juke.

Furthermore, I had practical experience with it. Therefore, I can20say this method is 100% effective.
In 1979, I was teaching in Fung Gaap College in Tai Chung.

One afternoon, I was teaching a class when another teacher came running to my classroom and said in panting,
'Ms Liu, come quick, our supervisor has had a stroke!'. I immediately went to the 3rd floor.
When I saw our supervisor, Mr. Chen Fu Tien, his colourwas off, his speech was slurred, his mouth was crooked- all the symptoms of a stroke.

I immediately asked one of the practicum students to go to the pharmacy outside the school to buy a syringe, which I used to prickMr. Chen's 10 fingers tips.

When all 10 fingerswere bleeding (each with a pea-sized drop of blood),after a few minutes, Mr. Chen's face regained its colourand his eyes' spir it returned,

But his mouth was still crooked. So I pulled on his earsto fill them with blood. When his ears became red,
I prickedhis right earlobetwiceto let out two drops of blood.

When both earlobeshad two drops of blood each, a miracle happened.
Within 3-5 minutesthe shape of his mouth returnedto normal and his speech became clear.

We let him rest for a whileand have a cup of hot tea, then we helped him go down the stairs, drove him to Wei Wah Hospital . He rested one night and was released the next day to return to school to teach. . Everything worked normally.
There were no ill after effects.
On the other hand, the usual stroke victimusually suffers Irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to the hospital. As a result, these victims never recover.' (Irene Liu)Therefore, stroke is the second cause of death. The lu cky ones will stay alive but can remain paralysed for life.

It is such a horrible thing to happen in ones life.

If we can all remember this blood letting methodand start the life saving process immediately, in a short time, the victim will be revived and regain 100% normality.
