The cause of most strokes is the result of interrupted blood flow to the brain from plaque, clots, and bleeding. Transient ischemic attacks are often the warning of an impending stroke and they are a medical emergency. It is critical to maintain a normal blood pressure. The best treatment to prevent a stroke is a healthy lifestyle. There are a number of supplements that support healthy brain function and can restore circulation and normal blood thickness (hypercoagulation).

Limit or avoid trans fatty acids (hydrogenated vegetable oil, margarine and shortening). Cook with olive oil at a low heat.
Drink at least 64 ounces of filtered, bottled or non-chlorinated water everyday. In addition, drink 2-3 cups of naturally decaffeinated green tea daily.

Cutting Edge Treatment for Stroke
While having a stroke can be devastating, there are cutting edge strategies that can help a lot more than conventional medical practice that includes physical therapy, anticoagulation, and sometimes surgery. Most strokes are caused by clots from arteriosclerosis or atrial fibrillation or hemorrhage into the brain, but stroke-like conditions such as head trauma, tumors, or prolonged epilepsy can cause similar symptoms.
Cutting edge therapies include acupuncture, neurofeedback, transcranial DC stimulation, infrared light therapy, live blood cell analysis, and special nutritional protocols that include coconut oil, curcumin, choline, niacinamide, B12, and essential fatty acids. And, of course, lifestyle strategies are also very powerful healing tools.
It is also important to avoid all drugs, but in particular sedatives, sleeping pills, antidepressants, antihistamines, and anticholinergic blockers.
