STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..
Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .
She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes..
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food.
While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ.
Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.
Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
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
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
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 TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue..
If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke..
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this message, sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Natural Remedies from Malaysia - Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali is now made available using the latest scientific techniques and the highest quality controlled methods of extraction. The best quality is from a product with 100% pure Tongkat Ali water soluble extract, scientifically processed and encapsulated.
Tongkat Ali water-soluble extract is superior in efficacy and quality. The dosage is standardized and the formulation is based on pharmacokinetic studies and observations, to ensure its effectiveness, safety and efficacy. Scientists and researchers have shown that the water-soluble extract is very safe and non-toxic, even at relatively high dosage.
In Vitro studies with Tongkat Ali showed a 440% increase in testosterone. In human studies, analysis of the DHEA showed gradual increase in the level from 26% after 1 week to 47% in 3 weeks. SHBG analysis showed decrease in level from 36% after 1 week to 66% after 3 weeks. Consequently, when the SHBG level declines, the Free Testosterone Index goes up in most subjects. This increase in Free Testosterone indicates that it has a bio-stimulatory effect on steroidogensis, meaning that Long jack has the ability to enhance testosterone biosynthesis. Studies done by the department of Pharmacognosy, Tokyo College of Pharmacy & the Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo University, Japan, found anti-cancer properties by isolating anti-leukemia activities of compounds from the plant.

Most, if not all, Tongkat Ali products available in the market today are pulverized (sawdust) root. Until they are scientifically analyzed in the laboratory, there is no way to verify which plant roots or plant parts are being used. Unless stringently quality controlled, even grounded root powder in capsules can deteriorate over time and are subject to attack from fungi and microorganisms, which could cause toxic and side effects over long term usage.
Tongkat Ali is proven to boost testosterone. In Vitro studies with Tongkat Ali showed a 440% increase in testosterone. Initial studies at higher doses on both hypogonadal and healthy male subjects show increased testosterone boosting ability. In 1995, it was reported that the quissinoid extract from Longjack has anti-pyretic or anti-fever effect.
Tongkat Ali incites the testes to produce more testosterone on their own by sending signal to the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands, and not by supplying exogenous testosterone. Synthetic testosterone (anabolic steroids) can supplement your body with testosterone, but steroids interfere awkwardly with male sexuality, causing penile and testicular shrinkage.Animal studies have shown that Longjack has the ability to enhance the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. For this reason, Longjack can be consumed to boost the energy level.
