How is this even medically accurate! This is some voodoo BS.

Seems legit. Just like how Cayenne pepper stops a heart attack in its tracks! (Sarcasm, don't do both of these please) lol

The sad part is some people will believe this and not call 911 immediately.

I...I...what!?! That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. I know someone is going to follow this advice and it's going be a nightmare. Sorry ahead of time for any emergency services personnel who will witness this.

Lets see, diabetics prick their fingers regularly, but are at higher risk for strokes..... so we need to tell them to prick ALL 10 fingers QID!!

I look at things like this as a good means to clear some detritus from the gene pool.

Because causing someone lots of pain to reduce their blood volume by 12 drops (sewing needles, what fun!) will DEFINITELY lower their blood pressure during a stroke.

Well, at least now when some poor person presents at the ED with all ten fingers and both ears bleeding you'll know why. Sadly if they bring the person to the ED fast enough and the stroke protocol then works these dingbats will take all the credit and insist their "treatment" is what saved them.
Yep, as a cousin of mine says, "You! Outta the gene pool!".
Besides being crazy and wrong, the 'advice' seems to be aimed only at hemorraghic stroke, which we all know is only a small percentage of strokes. Now, for ischemic stroke, I recommend injecting just 1 mL of Liquid Plumber into the brain.
