They have been billed as the ultimate antidote to sitting in front of a screen all day at the office. But a study suggests standing #desks, which have soared in popularity in recent years, do not compensate for being inactive and may even increase the risk of conditions such as swollen veins and blood clots in the legs.

Western doctor finds stroke relief through acupuncture, blends Eastern practices

Varon suffered a stroke and was able to get relief and some recovery from post-stroke neuropathy through acupuncture treatments after his daughter studied it.

He now combines Eastern medicine in his practice and says he has fantastic success.

“I developed severe pain after a stroke. It was a stroke neuropathy and all my doctors were trying to give me all the narcotics around and I said, no, I’m not going to pick any of these things,” Varon said. “So I went for the acupuncture and I took care of the pain.”

It was a stroke of luck
That I stroked the cat
As the old clock struck ten.

At the first loud bong
The cat jumped and meowled
Nearly giving me a stroke myself.

The cat bounded out of the room
As the clocked bonged on,
All claws, fangs and fur

And I was left empty lapped
And wondering
What appointment the cat was late for.

New clot busting drug could improve stroke treatment | BHF

A new clot busting drug developed by scientists at the University of Manchester is able to effectively break down blood clots in the brains of mice that are resistant to current drugs, according to research we’ve funded and published in the journal Blood. The scientists say that the findings could open the door for a safer and more effective stroke treatment.
