Birth control drugs

What causes strokes? One of the 41 things that causes strokes is the drug you take for birth control. If you're on the pill, patch, vaginal ring or implant, then you're taking a (synthetic, analog) hormone that is often used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). And it is well documented fact that, when synthetic analog drugs with hormone-like effects are used for HRT, then there is a risk of blood clots, breast cancer, heart attacks and strokes. (2)

Chiropractic manipulation of the neck

What causes strokes? One of the 41 things that causes strokes is the chiropractic manipulation of the neck. All it takes is one routine visit to the chiropractor. Why? Because neck manipulation by chiropractors can be dangerous and even deadly because, when a chiropractor adjusts your neck, he (or she) can cause a tear in your artery that your body tries to heal with a blood clot, which, after a delay of 2 to 3 hours, can lead to a stroke.

Chloroform gas

What causes strokes? One of the 41 things that causes strokes is chloroform gas. Therefore, you should dechlorinate by installing a shower filter. Otherwise you inhale 50 times more chloroform gas while showering. Your skin absorbs 50 times more chloroform gas, because:
  • The warm shower opens up your pores, so the absorbtion of the chloroform is accelerated;
  • Chloroform gas vaporizes at a lower temperature than water;
  • The chloroform gas you inhale goes directly into your blood stream;
Exposure to organic pollutants plays an important role in the development of strokes in the elderly. (3)

Chocolate and coffee avoidance

What causes strokes? One of the 41 things that causes strokes is chocolate and coffee avoidance, because...
  • Moderate chocolate consumption reduces the risk of strokes; and
  • There is a weak INVERSE association between moderate coffee consumption and risk of strokes. (17) (18)
  • Chocolate is good for the heart!
Please keep in mind that "chocolate" means cocoa powder — not table chocolate.

Cholesterol

What causes strokes? One of the 41 things that causes stroke is low cholesterol. You need to maintain high cholesterol. There is an inverse association between cholesterol and risk of stroke. (31)
