Roger Maxwell, author of the new book "Taking Charge of Your StrokeRecovery: A Personal Recovery Workbook" (www.takingchargebooks.com),suffered a massive stroke in his late 40s. Advised he could only "crosshis fingers and wait" when insurance-paid hospital rehab ended leaving himseverely disabled, Maxwell realized he had to take charge of his own strokerecovery.

In the course of his research through reams of medical literature, Maxwelldeveloped unique methods to rehabilitate his physical health and mentalfunctions. He succeeded, teaching himself to speak and walk again, to jogand ultimately to run marathons.

"Taking Charge of Your Stroke Recovery: A Personal Recovery Workbook" is astep-by-step, home-based recovery method that reveals clinically provenrecovery techniques, and includes these little-known facts:

1. Far more stroke survivors can fully recover from the effects of strokethan currently do. The brain's structure and function are virtually thesame in everyone, so each person has the same capacity to recover if theright things are done, as confirmed by many scientific studies.

2. Good brain nutrition is important. We know that cutting off oxygen tothe brain for ten minutes can cause irreparable damage. Likewise, thepresence or absence of certain nutrients can have a rapid and profoundeffect on your brain.

3. Doing the right exercises the right way is key. Intensive, aggressiveand repetitive exercise and practice are the best at helping people improveanything, including recovering from stroke disabilities.

Roger Maxwell says that when he first suffered the stroke, all hisfunctions were affected except for thinking. As an experienced patentattorney who understands research, he was able to develop the "rightthings" to do, including forms of exercise, nutrition, thinking skillsrehabilitation and how your caregiver can best help.
