Photobiomodulation for Parkinsons

Neurons are cells that contain mitochondria. Photobiomodulation energizes neuronal mitochondria, triggering a cascade of beneficial cellular functions. Potential benefits are neuroprotective effects, self-repair mechanisms and enhanced functionality.

Vielight’s patented intranasal stimulation technology and microchip LED technology is an innovative tool for brain photobiomodulation developed by Vielight. My guest today is Vielight’s CEO Dr. Lew Lim. Intranasal photobiomodulation is the most efficient method for light energy to reach the brain. Different from electrical and magnetic stimulation, photobiomodulation uses light energy (or photons) of specific wave lengths and power density to simulate cellular function.

Vagus Neuro Duo

The Vielight Neuro Duo is is the result of years of engineering and research.

Clinical research with our technology has produced improvements in cognitionmemory and blood flow.

The Vielight Neuro Duo comes with both Alpha and Gamma modes.

  • Gamma (40Hz): focus, memory, brain energy.
  • Alpha (10 Hz): relaxation and sleep improvement.

Vagus Device

Recently introduced is Vielight’s Vagus device which enables non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve (VNS) via photobiomodulation (PBM). This device was engineered to enhance brain-gut connectivity.

Yoga

Exercise is a proven way of helping people with Parkinson’s reverse their symptoms. Many people think yoga is reserved for athletic types, but a dedicated group of individuals with Parkinson’s have found a program tailored to people of all levels and now practice yoga on a regular basis. Three members of the Yoga for People with Parkinson’s classes in Seattle, Washington tell their stories about how yoga has provided them with remarkable relief from their symptoms.

Is yoga a therapy that is right for you? Listen to these incredible student testimonials and decide for yourself. Yoga is a time-tested, natural therapy and if practiced on a regular basis you can expect often dramatic improvements in flexibility, strength, balance and peace of mind. That formula is hard to beat.

Sugar Addictions

Hello again Robert. My question is whether the sugar all by itself is just too stimulating to the nervous system, or is there a negative compliment sugar has with toxins, or is there possibly a sugar connection with the nourishment of already existing candida? I can see how the first two examples could play out within a short span of time. Can the candida scenario play out as quick as in a few days? Please comment, if you would, on all three scenarios adding any additional knowledge I may not be aware of about sugar addictions and tremor overload.

I recently visited a friend for a few days for a change of scenery. Part of the enjoyment we had together was my consumption of a majority of a large bag of blue corn chips, two glasses of red wine, and some chocolate. The common denominator of the three foods is they are derived from, or have sugar as an ingredient. The symptoms I exhibit most are tremors which seem to be exacerbated by sugar consumption. The tremors peak after sugar has been in my digestive tract for around two days calming down some days after. The experience is quite disturbing. All of the other symptoms I show (brain fog, slow movement/range of motion, balance) are not heightened much if at all by a sugar binge.

Thanks Robert,

Kevin

I received your question several weeks ago Kevin and have to confess that I put it aside. Most questions I attempt to answer within a day or two. I must confess that a sugar addictions have been a challenge for me my entire life. I seem unconsciously to prefer avoiding the topic.

Now since I am sick and tired of thinking I really should respond to your question – here – finally – is my response.

There is no doubt that sugar in itself is toxic. It ranks right up there with all of the horrendous toxins that have invaded every ones body over the past few decades. I do not think you have to pontificate over interactions with other toxins. Sugar has a potent toxic punch all by itself.

After years of struggling with my own sugar addictions, I began to carefully notice what happens when I ingest sugar, to become more mindful so to speak. Before I started tracking what happens after I ate sugar (as you have done yourself now) I simply said to myself – oh wow. I am really tired right now. Caffeine should fix this little energy slump.

When I became more conscious of the connection between eating sugar and how I felt, I realized that I always had a horrible sugar crash one hour after eating anything with sugar. I wanted to fall asleep. I had zero energy. I felt lethargic. These feelings would last for about two hours when I would suddenly rebound.

It has helped me tremendously to connect with the horrible depression I feel after eating sugar. I now am getting quite good at avoiding sugar – not perfect believe me – but much better than in years past. I simply acknowledge the feeling that I know will be moving in and remember how horrible it is.

In my case and I suspect your case (and for many other people), the addiction to sugar is caused by the overload of candida in the tissues and organs of our body. Candida critters are fierce warriors. They have a Napoleon type consciousness and will stop at nothing to get their way (which is the sugar they need to survive).

I suppose many people might be thinking – Right. Sure. That sounds pretty weird to me.
Well – you may well be correct, but there is some insatiable drive inside my body that
urges me to indulge in eating sugar when I know that it makes me feel horrible. What is that anyway?

The candida critters are alive beings. Small yes, but alive. They do have a consciousness. All living beings have a consciousness! If you were about to die because you were not being fed – my guess is that you would do anything to survive as would I.

When there is a candida overload in the body the critters do not just hang around out gut (in the intestines). Nope. They leak out into all the tissues, organs and I might add neurons of our body. And yes, candida can cause certain symptoms that are associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s.

Lidia Epps made this discovery, reversed her own Parkinson’s symptoms and tells her own story of recovery as one of the 11 contributors to Pioneers of Recovery 2012.

So I say to you as one who is addicted – it is a horrible affliction. I have at long last declared that I want to have high energy and feel good throughout each and every day. There is too much important work to be done which will be wasted by the bouts of depression caused my 5 minute indulgence in pleasure which serves only the best interest of the candida that are hiding out in every nook and cranny of my organs.

The hot news of the past several months is now that I have conquered my sugar addictions. Those nasty candida critters have been dying off like flies in the summer time. Candida do not eat healthy food!

Good luck. It has been a challenge for me throughout my entire life. I am not going to let those little candida devils out smart me.

Fasting and Ketones

Isn’t Bills story below fascinating about fasting and ketones?

Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

Fasting and Ketones

My name is Bill Curtis. I have had PD since 2010. I would be able to address the symptoms that improved and the mechanisms I believe are behind the improvement of my symptoms. I was raising my beta hydroxybutyrate levels through intermittent fasting with exercise, and also through overnight fasting with MCT and Kerry gold and coconut oil. I have also had a 10 trial of Dr. Veechs ester. I would be happy to share my experience with you.

One thing that particularly impressed me about the results were the effect of the treatments on pain that only appears when I am off.

When I am off and go for a walk, I get about 50 yards into the walk and my back starts to hurt. I go another 50 yards and I start to bend over in pain. Oddly enough when I am on, I never have this problem.

I call this PD related pain, because it correlates with my other PD symptoms. I tracked every hour of every day I was awake and would ask, “Did I have PD related pain in the last hour? The answer on days without raising ketone levels was frequently yes, I had pain in the last hour. The answer on both the coffee and the Veech ester was never. This was a very surprising result that I had not expected. The same could be said of my dystonia.

I have so many friends who suffer from pain associated with PD and I think this approach is worth trying if you have pain caused by PD.

My Mom and a few others with PD have tried the coffee with organic cream, Kerry gold butter, coconut oil. MCT oil and Stevia, and all who have had PD and taken the coffee report a great deal of symptom relief.

All the best,

Bill Curtis

Swimming Pool Chlorine

Thanks again for the email newsletters. I find them very positive and helpful.

I went to a craniosacral therapist yesterday here in Myrtle Beach (where we are for 2 months) and it was very relaxing and calming for me. I have gone up in Canada a few times.

I have joined a fitness club and am working out 3 times a week and on the other 2 days swimming in the pool. My question is should I be concerned with the water in the pool ? ( toxins etc) I am going to check with them what they put in to it but it does taste a little salty to me when I have some on my face.

Thanks again for your services and keep up the good work.

Ted

I am so glad you find the newsletters helpful. Praise is all I need to keep writing and researching.

On swimming pool chlorine…

Your question about chlorine in swimming pools is a tough question to answer. I personally stopped swimming for the past few years in a swimming pool because of the chlorine. However, I recently decided to begin swimming again because it is such great exercise.

I have concluded that if we apply strict and uncompromising rules about toxic exposure, we rule out every imaginable activity in life. We might as well live in a bubble and allow ourselves no contact with humans or the physical world.

I see no way around being exposed to toxins every day. The pillows we put our heads on are toxic for most people because current laws required that they be dowsed with flame retardant which is very, very toxic.

Most food in grocery stores and restaurants these days is toxic. Even when we breathe (even in Florida) we ingest toxins. The list of exposure opportunities is endless.

I have concluded that a healthy way to approach the challenge of toxins is to eliminate the big ones and to make it a routine to do detoxes two or three times a year. I even change the detox program I use to cover all the bases. In other words, I just accept the fact I am being bombarded with toxins and do my best to detox myself on a regular basis. I make it routine.

Had you asked me this two years ago – I probably would have said – stop swimming in chlorine. The answer is different today, given I plan on returning to swimming in a chlorine pool myself this month.

Life is a trade off and this is one perfect example. I strongly suspect that the benefits of the exercise outweigh the costs of the toxins.

It is great to hear all about your exercise program. It will make a different to  be sure!

Sound Therapy for Parkinsons

I live in the UK.. As a sufferer of the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease since November 2005 one of the ways that has helped me to greatly improve my outlook on life is sound therapy for Parkinsons. This involves chanting the word HU which is a name for God in ECKANKAR. I have used this mantra for over 30 years and consider it my main lifeline to raising my consciousness and putting me in contact with the ECK (Holy Spirit).

HU is a word that can be used by people of any faith, it is non-intrusive. If you feel so inclined, please feel free to share this with others.

“The 3½ minute video ‘Miracles in Your Life‘ is a great way to share the benefits of singing HU. Through uplifting, lyrical language, and beautiful, natural imagery, viewers discover the miracles that HU can bring. They learn that the HU is for all people, regardless of faith.”

According to my Osteopath my PD symptoms stabilized some time ago and in some areas they have improved. I have been using a Recumbent Exercise Bike for about 3 years. I pedal for 30 minutes a day, everyday. When I started, I could pedal for 4.5 miles in 30 minutes, now I can pedal for 6.5 miles in this time.

Also, I have been using the Chinese/Russian herb “Rhodiola Rosea” for many years. I found this to be an excellent herb.

I have recently started to use the “Aquas” formula for the last 6 weeks.

Although, I still have many of the PD symptoms, I feel that I am slowly improving.

Another, interest I have is in writing lyrics for songs.

Regards.

Ross

What an awesome suggestion! This sound therapy for Parkinsons is easy to do, fun and free. You do it yourself. No doctors are required. The only expectation for this one is improved health on some level. You cannot beat that formula!

I know some of you who are reading this post are performers. Visit the Ross website by clicking on the link he provides above. He is looking for performers to perform his songs. Why not be one of those people? His lyrics are amazing.

When Will the Tremors Get Better?

My relative has been exercising regularly since her hand tremor first started 1 year ago. She has also been eating healthy and has been eating approximately 70% vegetable/fruits vs 30% meat. Also, she has started taking multivitamins and N-Acetylcysteine over the last two months however the tremor has not improved. When will the tremors get better?

Are there some other nutritional supplements that she should be taking (or things she should be doing)?  She is also on the selegiline prescribed by the doctor (although no one can fully guarantee she has PD).

Does drinking one or two cups of coffee per day stop tremors altogether? Or two cups of Green Tea?

When would her tremors get better?

Thanks.

Gino

Wouldn’t it be so sweet if we could find a supplement or treatment that would resolve tremors? My research shows that a multifaceted approach is required.

First, it is clear that your relative wants the tremor halted. After all, who wouldn’t want this? There are a few herbs that might help – and certainly there are supplements that are deficient in most people with Parkinsons (e.g., CoQ10, vitamin D3, NADH, etc.). Instead of driving down this pathway, however, I suggest you ask a different question.

Your relative’s body is giving them a strong signal something is out of balance. Do they have an overload of toxins? If so, taking supplements is not the answer.

Is there trauma trapped at the cellular level? Again, supplements or medicines can mask the tremor – but the underlying cause remains.

Is your relative holding a seed thought that is not true which fuels the tremor? If so, taking supplements of any type are not the answer in the long run.

You ask – when will her tremors get better? The answer is – that some herbal and medicinal treatments can reduce the tremors temporarily. But if she wants the tremors to stop – she will have to step back and find out what her body is telling her. Her body is giving her valuable information. Her most important job is to listen to the messages she is getting.

You can’t do that work for her. The answer to when will the tremors get better depends on finding and treating the cause. She has to figure this out for herself.

  • Perhaps she is under extreme stress and her body is telling her to slow down or change jobs or chill out.
  • Perhaps she is using a soap or detergent that is toxic.
  • Perhaps she is being exposed to electromagnetic pollution.
  • Perhaps …

I assure you the list of possibilities is very long indeed.

Her body has the answers. She just has to start listening.

Drug Interactions and Side Effects

Are there any drug interactions and side effects from taking Parkinson’s medicines? My medicine is inderal 10mg and pacitane 2 mg, three times a day. Now my cardiogram is not perfect and for six months selgin 5 mg. I don’t get a good sleep at night. My doctor suggested that I stop selgin.

I am not a medical doctor, so I am not qualified to suggest changes to any medications that have been prescribed by your doctor. I can speak to your question about side effects.

Are there any drug interactions and side effects from taking Parkinson’s medications? Yes. There are many as is the case with most prescription medications. The frustrating challenge is that many of the side effects are the same as the symptoms of Parkinson’s that the medications are designed to suppress.

Keep in mind that when you use the term “medication” it really embraces anything we put into our bodies including food, drink, supplements, herbs, lotions, makeup, soaps, shampoos – the whole can of worms so to speak.

Side Effects of Medications

If you want to know which side effects are associated with the medications you are taking, go to your pharmacist and ask for the drug sheet which lists all side effects. You may be surprised to discover how long the list can be for some Parkinson’s medications.

One of the easiest ways to know about the side effects of medications is to do a quick search on the internet. Type in the words (name of medication) side effects. You will see several medical websites that list all of the major and minor side effects that have been documented in studies.

Drug Interactions

There are further, potentially serious complication. Drugs you are taking may interact with one another. When we take more than one drug, there is a possibility that the effect of taking more than one drug is causing additional, unanticipated and potentially life threatening symptoms.

Certified nutritional counselors tell me that there is a very good chance of drug interactions when you are taking three medications and a 100% chance of interactions when you are taking five or more medications. Of course, there are no studies that report on these interactions. Besides, everyone responds differently.

It is a good idea for people taking multiple medications to have analysis done by a pharmacist who can identify problems and recommend alternatives you can consider in consultation with your doctor.

The truth is that it is a very complicated area. It is thus very important that you involve specialists who know about drugs. They can analyze your full health history (which includes a consideration of foods you eat, supplements you take and substances you put on your body).

The body is a very sensitive, living entity. When we ingest something that is harmful to our health, we get clear signals through symptoms that it is time to make some changes. As you already know, the fact you are unable to sleep is a signal your body needs something it is not getting or is getting something it does not need.

Drug Depletions

Drugs can also deplete the minerals and vitamins our bodies need to produce energy, so it may be important to take additional supplements to counterbalance the depletions. People train for years and years to have the skills to help out with such problems. Take advantage of their skills. Find a compounding pharmacist or natural pharmacist who can do a thorough analysis for you so you know for sure where you stand. They can provide a thorough report of  drug interactions and side effects from whatever medications you are taking.

Vagus Nerve Plays Leading Role in Recovery

What is the most significant step that leads to reversal of Parkinson’s symptoms?
Answer: Reduce anxiety

But wait here you say. I have done everything imaginable to get my anxiety under control but with little success.

A little known solution that supports the parasympathetic nervous system (which is the key to reducing anxiety) is to stimulate and cleanse the vagus nerve. What is the big deal about the vagus nerve?

Its function has a direct impact on brain health. This nerve wonders through every organ including the digestive system, lungs and even the heart. Toxins not only clog the vagus nerve, they contaminate the brain and other organs as well.

Essential oil therapists recommend specific oils to cleanse the vagus like clove. Therapies are recommended to stimulate the vagus nerve with acupressure  that apply gentle pressure to the nerve itself.

Just introduced is a novel therapy that stimulates vagus nerve function – a Vagus photobiomodulation (light therapy) device from Vielight. I predict the Vagus device will prove successful in taming down the sympathetic nervous system which will reduce anxieties and anxiety attacks. This in turn will lead to a symptom relief.

1.Get anxiety under control.
2. A reduction in the severity of symptoms results.

Check it out this out especially if you know anxiety is problematic for you. I predict this new invention will offer welcome relief for many.

Pain in the Thigh and Groin

My husband has been diagnosed with Parkinsons disease 7 years ago. He is 80 years old. His latest symptoms are: burning and pain in the thigh and groin. The only way to make him comfortable is by taking Neurontin and Darvocet.  Confusion is then increased. Any suggestions?

Ready to give up,

Jeannette

Pain in the Thigh and Groin Response:

First, let me give my customary warning: I am not a medical doctor and am not qualified to diagnose and prescribe. My response is founded on my research findings and should be taken to a medical doctor for further discussion and evaluation.

My first reaction to the description of symptoms is that the pain may be caused by lymph that is backed up and clogged around the groin area. The only way to move lymph out of the body is through exercise.

Does your husband get exercise every day? I am guessing not.

What if exercising is too painful for him at this point? It may be painful at the beginning, but if my guess is on target, the pain will subside when he begins to move. A great technique for moving lymph is to jump on a trampoline. Everyone should do it. You can purchase small ones for home use for $30-$40 in the U.S.

Another possibility is for him to use a body inverter which he can use to shift the body so that his head is lower than the feet. There are little valves throughout the lymph system that prevent the lymph from slipping back down, so when you place the body upside down, the lymph moves up and out. There is no organ that pumps the lump as there is for blood (which of course is the heart).

A total inversion would probably be unwise, but positioning the body so that the head is lower than the feet can be helpful. Various health care practitioners might have such equipment you can experiment with. If he has other health problems, this idea might be unwise, so check it out with his doctor.

The challenge for him is likely that the lymph in his body is a thick mucous. Hydrating his body will be a great asset. Dr. John Coleman, ND,  recommends that everyone with Parkinsons hydrate their body using a homeopath remedy called the Aquas (www.aquas.us). The thirst mechanism for all older persons shorts out, so the body needs a backup signaling system that will help the body tell him when to drink. At a minimum he should drink a lot of water.

My guess is that the more he can move his body, the more relief he will get from the pain. You of course might also want to examine very carefully the side effects of any medications he takes. This can also be a confounding factor which can directly contribute to the problem he is experiencing.

Finally, the sentence jumps out at me

Ready to give up.

I note that you do not say whether you are ready to give up or he is ready to give up. If he is ready to throw in the towel, then I would say to you – honor his wishes. A time comes for everyone when a decision is made to begin shutting down. Is this his time? If so, he will not move or exercise or do anything of the things necessary to relieve the pain.

Are you ready to give up on finding solutions for pain in the thigh and groin of your husband? Believe me, this is totally understandable. It is so difficult to take care of someone you love who is ill. If you are ready to give up, it is time for you to take a break from caretaking.

Take a short vacation with your friends. Get away. No one can take someone who is ill 100% of the time. Ill people take the energy away from healthy people. That is the natural process of what happens.

You need to get away to rejuvenate yourself. This sounds counterintuitive, but by taking care of yourself, you are actually able to do a much better job of taking care of him.

My guess about the cause of the pain may be wrong and you will have to move to another possibility, but I can guarantee you that when he moves his body, he will feel better. It is the one surefire suggestion I can offer that I know will yield relief.

Help for Depression

I need help for depression. I am desperately
depressed. What can I do about it?

This is a truly challenging place to find yourself.
It is as if nothing can pull you out of the depths of
despair. There is a drag on all motivation to do anything
of any substance. Nothing you do makes a difference.
Clearly, hormonal imbalances are taking their toll.

The depression can be so deep and penetrating that
it is nearly impossible to take any action to reverse it.
Even making an appointment with a health care provider
takes up too much energy. The negative thought form
that emerges is:

It won’t make any difference anyway, so why bother?

It is a place of despair where all you can think about
is going to sleep so you are not haunted by the black
void of nothingness and immobility.

Have I described the feel adequately? I had never
personally experienced depression until a few years
ago when it struck out of the blue. I was sucked in
by the negative drain of energy which feels impossible
to deflect.

I have pondered what might be a constructive answer
to providing help for depression. Three simple possibilities are offered.

First, buy a seasonal affective disorder light. Use
it every day. Drag yourself to the computer and order
one online today.

Second, purchase a vitamin supplement of vitamin D3.
Please note – this is D3, not a composite vitamin D
supplement (which can include other forms of vitamin D).

Third, if there is sunlight, bask in it. You do not need
to take D3 if you are able to get sufficient exposure to
sunshine.

These are my simple suggestions. You can pull these things
off even in a state of deep depression. They will help
pull you out of the darkness.

Do it and you will see a gradual reawakening to the sweetness
of life.

How to Activate Dormant Stem Cells

Lightwave X39 Stem Cell Patches

The Lightwave company has invented a patch that activates stem cells.  You apply the X39 patch to your body 12 hours each day. Patches are designed to trap infrared light energy when placed on the body. They secret a peptide called GHK that “wakes up” dormant stem cells. No drugs or chemicals enter the body.

Below is a link to a youtube presentation by the inventor of the X39 Lifewave patches David Schmidt:

Stem cells facilitate healing chronic conditions from the inside out.

Brain Sci. 2017 Feb 15;7(2):20. The Effect of the Human Peptide GHK on Gene Expression Relevant to Nervous System Function and Cognitive Decline.Loren Pickart, Jessica Michelle Vasquez-Soltero, Anna Margolina

Abstract

Neurodegeneration, the progressive death of neurons, loss of brain function, and cognitive decline is an increasing problem for senior populations. Its causes are poorly understood and therapies are largely ineffective. Neurons, with high energy and oxygen requirements, are especially vulnerable to detrimental factors, including age-related dysregulation of biochemical pathways caused by altered expression of multiple genes. GHK (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine) is a human copper-binding peptide with biological actions that appear to counter aging-associated diseases and conditions.

GHK, which declines with age, has health promoting effects on many tissues such as chondrocytes, liver cells and human fibroblasts, improves wound healing and tissue regeneration (skin, hair follicles, stomach and intestinal linings, boney tissue), increases collagen, decorin, angiogenesis, and nerve outgrowth, possesses anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-pain and anti-anxiety effects, increases cellular stemness and the secretion of trophic factors by mesenchymal stem cells.

Studies using the Broad Institute Connectivity Map show that GHK peptide modulates expression of multiple genes, resetting pathological gene expression patterns back to health. GHK has been recommended as a treatment for metastatic cancer, Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, inflammation, acute lung injury, activating stem cells, pain, and anxiety. Here, we present GHK’s effects on gene expression relevant to the nervous system health and function.

Biomed Res Int. 2014:2014:151479. GHK and DNA: resetting the human genome to health. Loren Pickart, Jessica Michelle Vasquez-Soltero, Anna Margolina 

Abstract

During human aging there is an increase in the activity of inflammatory, cancer promoting, and tissue destructive genes plus a decrease in the activity of regenerative and reparative genes. The human blood tripeptide GHK possesses many positive effects but declines with age. It improves wound healing and tissue regeneration (skin, hair follicles, stomach and intestinal linings, and boney tissue), increases collagen and glycosaminoglycans, stimulates synthesis of decorin, increases angiogenesis, and nerve outgrowth, possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and increases cellular stemness and the secretion of trophic factors by mesenchymal stem cells.

Recently, GHK has been found to reset genes of diseased cells from patients with cancer or COPD to a more healthy state. Cancer cells reset their programmed cell death system while COPD patients’ cells shut down tissue destructive genes and stimulate repair and remodeling activities. In this paper, we discuss GHK’s effect on genes that suppress fibrinogen synthesis, the insulin/insulin-like system, and cancer growth plus activation of genes that increase the ubiquitin-proteasome system, DNA repair, antioxidant systems, and healing by the TGF beta superfamily. A variety of methods and dosages to effectively use GHK to reset genes to a healthier state are also discussed.

Treatment for Lyme Disease

Do you have any information on treatment for Lyme disease? I was bitten by a tick in 1998 and diagnosed with Parkinsons 30 months later.

Thank you in advance,

Oh my goodness. This sounds like a huge clue regarding a probable cause of your symptoms. The symptoms of Lyme disease are very similar to those of Parkinson’s. Many people get mis-diagnosed with Parkinson’s when the true culprit is a Lyme infection.

The treatment for Lyme disease is a long term series of antibiotics. The challenge of the treatment is that antibiotics destroy the immune system and the digestive system which cause other problems of their own. This particular infection is very difficult to beat as many with Lyme will attest.

Here is a report of a treatment Chris has been getting:

“I am being treated with Bicillin injections 4 times week. Treatment will go for two to three months.

My tremors have lessened in severity. I am tired however but working through it.

My doctor believes that the source of my Parkinson’s symptoms are the inflammation as a result of my immune system fighting Lyme for the last 7 years. I believe that if I remove the source of inflammation, my body will be strong enough to heal.”

And here is Kathy’s report on her experience with Lyme.

“I was diagnosed with PD in 2010. Two years later I found out I had Lyme disease, and had been infected for over 20 years! According to my naturopath, if Lyme disease is not treated with antibiotics in the first 45 days, the spirochetes burrow deep into the body and the antibiotics are no longer as effective.

I addition to the Lyme spirochetes, I also had 3 co-infectants. The little critters had eventually entered into my nervous system and wrecked havoc. I am currently Lyme free, but have a lot of nerve damage which heals very slowly.”

What follows is Chris’ report on his experience:

I found the source of my inflammation.

I started to see a new MD/ ND. She tested me for Lyme Disease. I have it and have had it for years. My immune system is on overload and my body is breaking down.I start treatment for the Lyme disease tomorrow.

My belief is that through cleansing the Lyme disease, I can drop the inflammation and recover.

I have had Lyme Disease for 7 years and none of my PD specialists even looked for it.Everyone should get tested

I am going to heal rebuild and recover

We know that the factors which cause neurological complications are multi-faceted. One root cause turns out to be bacterial infections. There is a particular bacterial infections which is extremely difficult to detect in tests called mycoplasma which are a bacteria that causes a neurological disaster in the body. From my recent research, it appears many people have this bacteria and do not even know it (because it is so difficult to detect).

Resources for Recovery from Parkinsons in France & Great Britain

Dear Robert:I have been given your address, after being diagnosed with early Parkinson’s Syndrome, by a friend after discussing my general state of health with him. After exhaustive tests and the most frightening stay in hospital, a number of health issued raised their ugly heads. I am interested in resources for recovery from Parkinsons in France & Great Britain

I am just coming to my 56th birthday in June, to be told I had a liver virus, gall stones, depression (I have suffered with this after a nervous breakdown in 1994, but have been taught to control the effects through non-medicinal methods). I am in constant lower back pain and my specialist finally dropped the bomb shell that she believed I had the early symptoms of Parkinson’s.

I have been on a ‘light’ cocktail of drugs which have helped, but I do find it difficult to write now and hold a glass – it can suddenly fall from my hand for no reason. Walking is difficult, and I have had to give up driving, move into a friends apartment after falling and being unable to contact anyone for two days.

I want to be able to not be classed as disabled (which is what the French Health Service currently have me registered). It was hard work learning how to deal with my depression, but I learnt, I’m sure I can do it with the tools you have in your arsenal ! I am not a religious person, but I do believe in the power of the mind and the importance of a balanced spirit. If I could get to Bali, I know who and where I could go to get this positive / negative energy balance.

Thank you for your time,

Best regards

Rigby

Parkinson’s Treatment and Recovery

I would like to know more about Parkinson’s treatment and recovery.

Tell me about your Parkinsons Recovery membership.

Do you recommend Zandopa? What homeopathic products can / should one use? I am considering the membership. Your-e-mails are excellent, I love to read them. I live in Canada BC and I might not have access to any resources which are similar to yours.

I really believe that my body can heal itself if I give it a chance and the right support.

Response to Parkinson’s Treatment and Recovery

Thanks for your email inquiring about Parkinson’s treatment and recovery options. As for the Parkinsons Recovery membership, I recommend that join and visit the 12 member websites daily for a month and just see if the visits are helpful. The subscription is only $10 a month.

Information is updated daily. Successful recoveries involve an ongoing process. When you visit the website every day, you are setting the intention to recover. More information is available at: https://www.parkinsonsrecovery.com/parkinsons-recovery

As for recommendations of medications, I have to pass. I am not a medical doctor and so am not qualified to speak to that specific question. Rather, I am a researcher and can tell you a lot about what people do to get great relief from their symptoms.

Be sure to read the side effects of any medications you take. Often what you may think are the symptoms of Parkinsons are actually the side effects of medications you are taking. That news is a relief to many people!

Recovery requires patience and commitment. It happens for people who are determined to make it happen.

Expect to Get Better and You Will Get Better

Alan granted me permission to post his reflection below on how thoughts about Parkinson’s Disease have a profound impact on his recovery.

Five Steps to Recovery

I just took time out to listen to Howard Shifke’s’ interview again. I am re-inspired to keep going.

I don’t know if I’m getting better or not, but I don’t worry as much about a bad day or “what Parkinson’s is going to do to me.” I have been working on my thinking that I will get better since the last time that I listened to this interview. I got his point that expecting to get better is the way to get better, but it often takes a million reminders a day and starting over as many times. Yet, I think today, how nice to think it can get better. That was just the vaguest hope since taking recovery seriously a year and a half since diagnosis.
