The future of medicine rests with innovative therapies that utilize light and sound to bring the body back into balance and harmony. Photobiomodulation (or light therapy) is one such delivery system. This turns out to be the Parkinsons breakthrough of 2025.
I first learned about photobiomodulation in 2018 from my interview with the CEO of Vielight, Dr. Lew Lim. At that time, there was only one photobiomodulation study of five Alzheimers subjects that reported positive outcomes. There was no research evidence at the time for Parkinsons subjects so the jury was out at that time.
Still, I encouraged members of my audience to begin using the Neuro Gamma Vielight device which was recommended by Dr. Lim as the best device to address Parkinsons symptoms. He offered at that time the opportunity to use this Vielight device for six months. If users did not celebrate positive outcomes, they were invited to return the device to claim an 80% refund.
Many hundreds from the Parkinsons Recovery audience began using the Vielight Neuro Gamma photobiomodulation device. Users reported a variety of benefits. Nine out of ten users kept their units. One out of ten returned them. In short, home use turns out to benefit most users.
About Photobiomodulation
Different from electrical and magnetic stimulation, photobiomodulation uses light energy (or photons) of specific wave lengths and power densities to simulate cellular function. Photobiomodulation energizes the mitochondria of neurons. This triggers a cascade of beneficial cellular functions including …
Neuro-protective effects.
Self-repair mechanisms.
Enhanced functionality.
Photobiomodulation (known also as PBM) has multiple clinical benefits due to an enhancement of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and subsequent increase in ATP output. It modulates cellular signaling and it reduces inflammation.
The photobiomodulation Vielight devices use an Intranasal delivery of the light therapy which is the most efficient method for delivering light energy to the brain and body.
Photobiomodulation Parkinsons Breakthrough Research
An independent Parkinsons study by Ann Liebert and her colleagues from the University of Sydney found the Vielight Neuro Gamma produced statistically significant clinical results.
Twelve participants diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease were enlisted for the study. Documented reductions in symptoms far exceeded expectations of the researchers. Measures of mobility, cognition, dynamic balance and fine motor skill for the 12 Parkinson’s research subjects were significantly improved (p < 0.05) with 12 weeks of home photobiomodulation treatments.
Individual improvements varied but many continued for up to one year with continued home treatment.
The design of this study was eloquent. Participants were assessed for mobility, fine motor skills, balance and cognition before treatment began, after 4 weeks of treatment, after 12 weeks of treatment and the end of the home treatment period.
Researchers drew the following conclusions:
“PBM (photobiomodulation) was shown to be a safe and potentially effective treatment for a range of clinical signs and symptoms of PD. Improvements were maintained for as long as treatment continued, for up to one year in a neurodegenerative disease where decline is typically expected.”
A five year follow-up study that tracked 6 of the 12 subjects found improvements were sustained with continued use.
This study provides evidence that photobiomodulation therapy reduces motor signs and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease patients. The best news was that improvements were sustained over several years.
Dramatic Explosion in Photobiomodulation Research
Since 2018 hundreds of researchers have published studies evaluating photobiomodulation therapy for a wide variety of brain disorders. A search on pubmed.gov lists over 11,000 studies have focused on photobiomodulation as a treatment modality. Over one hundred (100) studies focus specifically on photobiomodulation for Parkinsons. All of the studies conclude it is a viable therapy that offers symptom relief.

I was curious about what
approaches and therapies John Coleman ND
tried – and he experimented with
many modalities – did
not help him. So I asked him:
What therapies do not offer symptom relief
From Parkinsons?
John Coleman, ND, was diagnosed
with Parkinsons in 1995. After
experimenting and trying
a wide variety of healing modalities
he is symptom free today. He answers
my question by discussing the therapies
that were not helpful to him during his
journey down the road to recovery.
There were a lot. In general, any form of body work that was firm or hard. Deep tissue massage, sports massage – those sorts of massages – created extra pain. Vigorous therapies like chiropractic and other manipulative therapies also tended to increase my symptoms and create pain.
Excessive intake of nutritional supplements tended to have no effect or make me nauseous or simply be a waste of money. I had to be very careful about homeopathic remedies because the normal approach in selecting potencies and frequencies seemed to aggravate me where a very gentle, a very cautious approached worked.
Many counseling modalities helped. Psychiatry did not. I am sure there are good psychiatrists out there, but I saw four and none of them helped me at all. Antidepressant therapy did not work.
I choose not to take pharmaceuticals, but other forms of herbal, vitamin homeopathic remedies for depression, but I realized I actually was not depressed. I was certainly anxious, but the antidepressant therapies were just no good for me.
I needed to be active and proactive in my approach. In answer to your question –
What therapies do not offer symptom relief?
Anything that was too hard, too vigorous, too enthusiastic did not work.
Gentle, cautious, loving therapies worked.
John offers a powerful 12 Step Parkinsons Recovery Program that is designed for anyone with
Parkinson’s who is looking for
ways to celebrate relief from their
symptoms.
After interviewing hundreds of individuals diagnosed with Parkinsons who succeeded in reversing symptoms of Parkinsons, I have a rich understanding of what a successful recovery entails.
Is it possible for symptoms of Parkinsons to resolve quickly?
I so wish I could say yes, but the honest answer is no.
Is there a recovery program that works for everyone?
Unfortunately no. Everyone who has succeeded followed a different path.
Everyone of course wants to suppress symptoms which is why medications have been so popular. For some, they succeed in offering temporary relief. For others they flop. The best outcome for everyone is for symptoms to fade into the sunset forever.
What have people done to make recovery happen?
They acknowledge there are no quick fixes.
They accept that the journey down the road to recovery will be rocky. Some days will be awesome.
They launch a journey of discovery to heal from the inside out which will take time and patience.
They honor the fact that what has helped others may well not help them, but there are therapies that can succeed for them.
They experiment. They keep what helps and discard what does not.
I invite you to take a six month journey down the road to recovery. The course reveals everything I have learned over the past 20 years about recovery from those who have succeeded in reversing some of not all symptoms of Parkinsons.
You get guidance on how to figure out the cause of your symptoms and natural therapies to resolve it.
You get natural therapies for specific symptoms.
You get a roadmap of how to recover from the inside out.
You get the scoop on all of the cutting edge therapies over the past several years.
You get six months of daily recordings (and the accompanying text) for each day’s topic
What do herbal detoxes entail? What is involved when it comes to the physical sensations and outcomes? Here is a fascinating email account I received permission to post from Deborah.
“I’ve been detoxing on herbs for 2 years now so detox pathways feel very familiar. I took 1/3 of my 300 mg dose, used a razor blade to cut the small white pill. Waited an hour to eat a light fruit snack. Fell asleep 9 pm. Awakened 11:45 feeling effervescent bubbling and zapping sensations between stomach and liver back and forth almost gurgling with an intermittent stab of pain lasting only a second. I knew then that the immune boost I got from LDN was working! Then the sensation moved up esophagus this took awhile and then bam center of my brain. Internal brain tremors started as I calmly observed smiling at the work being accomplished. I didn’t have an early or heavy schedule so I just relaxed about sleep. I’ve been detoxing on herbs for 2 yrs now so detox pathways feel very familiar. I took 1/3 of my 300 mg dose, used a razor blade to cut the small white pill. Waited an hour to eat a light fruit snack. Fell asleep 9 pm. Awakened 11:45 feeling effervescent bubbling and zapping sensations between stomach and liver back and forth almost gurgling with an intermittent stab of pain lasting only a second.

Internal brain tremors started as I calmly observed smiling at the work being accomplished. I didn’t have an early or heavy schedule so I just relaxed about sleep.
Fever kicked in for about a minute then gone! Zapping and bubbling continued moving arm, shoulder started tremoring furiously then stopped, then back to liver, stomach, another momentary fever and I fell asleep again. Woke 4:45 ran to bathroom with diarrhea.​ Went back to bad this time explosive diarrhea. Showered and cleaned lay down again feeling crazy head sensations, center the to ears, sinuses then skull. No more sleep just rest. The detox pathways just covered areas covered by vagus nerve, which interfaces with parasympathetic control of the heart and digestive tract. Oh yeah sensations went to my heart and a slightly longer fever persisted then faded. Don’t feel great this morning but ready to continue this battle to recover, thinking of possibly reducing dose to 75 mg as I’m not in a hurry. Recovery is a journey not a race and if too many pathogens are killed the toxic load is too much for the body to release. In that case it just recirculates through the body spreading more disease and we don’t want that!So why so many pathogens in my body? In a word trauma. From the age of eight and up I have had many episodes of disassociation. Where fear exacerbated by abusive circumstances of which I had no control had me(my consciousness) completely leave my body. This is when the immune system turns off and the body stores the trauma in a cellular level. Only to repeat it over and over. The immune system went into shock and now as pathogens move thru the body, the way they do, the immune system asleep at the wheel allows pathogens to start nesting eventually to take over if not reversed.”
Here is a remarkable testimonial of recovery from Parkinsons as a result of a little known therapy that increases the density of platelets in the blood.
Brendan Thorson—an experienced energy healer, teacher, and founder of Vital Energy Medicine, a self-empowering healing system designed to restore vitality and support those living with chronic illness and neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease.
Brendan brings over 24 years of experience in energy medicine, with a background in acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and therapeutic bodywork.

My guest today is Dr. David Berceli, PhD, creator of Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) which is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma.
TRE® safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
What are the seven secrets to healing that solve the mystery behind healing chronic diseases? How can you heal from the inside out so that disabling symptoms are reversed and imbalances in your body restored?
When we become ill we lose energy and get depressed. The gut instinct is to find treatments that offer a promise of making symptoms magically disappear. There are certainly medical options that are no secret to anyone which offer temporary relief from symptoms.
To be sure there are options to suppress symptoms but you will not find them in my new book. Why? These quick fixes are not secrets!
What are the seven secrets to healing illness? I am confident you would never guess the seven secrets because the path to authentic healing is unknown to most people.
Is one of the Seven Secrets to Healing all about the importance of eating a healthy diet? No! Certainly eating the right food is one of the pillars of maintaining good health and helping heal chronic diseases. But, this truth is no secret to anyone!
Is one of the Seven Secrets to Healing about the importance of getting regular exercise? No! Certainly exercise is also one of the pillars of reversing illness but this tidbit of wisdom is no secret to anyone.
Is one of the Seven Secrets to Healing all about the role stress plays in creating illness? No! Certainly stress plays a foundational role in creating and sustaining chronic diseases but researchers have already published hundreds of books that reveal this truth. The connection between stress and illness is no secret to anyone. .
Is one of the Seven Secrets to Healing all about the impact of economic hardship on a persons overall health? Duh? Now, no one would ever find this observation to be a secret to healing.
OK. Enough. My point is simple. You will be surprised by the Seven Secrets to healing because they are indeed exactly that – secrets. Until now.
The truth is that the body can reverse any illness and heal any disease as long as the condition has not progressed to the point of no return. How do you make this happen for yourself? It happens by healing from the inside out rather than dampening symptoms from the outside in. Take the revelations of the seven secrets seriously. You will be dazzled to discover the results.
Seven Secrets is available as a print book and a download.

What are causes of Parkinsons disease winds up being the question many people believe has already been answered. Simple. It is all about a deficiency of dopamine.
Really I say? Is the body really that simple? Are we like a car? When our car stops running we need only fill it up with more gas and bingo – it runs again?
The body transmits thousands of instructions every second to keep us alive. It truly is a miracle. When symptoms emerge, there is no simple fix. If we were like a car, we could simply fill ourselves up with gas.
Compounding Pharmacist Randy Mentzer explains the cascading array of factors that contribute to the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Sharry Edwards has a big picture view to describe the many causes of Parkinsons.
By way of further explanation, studies show that one answer to the question “how Parkinsons disease is caused” is exposure to certain pesticides. Many people know this and get tested for the presence of these toxins in their body. Often, the tests are positive.
Great. So now the person knows the cause is pesticides. Of course, a regimen is then initiated to detox the pesticides. But wait a minute here.
Why are pesticides stored and stuck in the body which is eloquently equipped to get rid of any and all toxins. What happened here?
Are kidneys compromised? Maybe an origin of the problem is not pesticides but a kidney which is not functioning a full capacity.
Or, perhaps the liver is compromised? Maybe the origin of the problem is not pesticides but a liver problem which is not functioning at full capacity.
Let’s assume we know the problem is the liver. Why is the liver compromised?
Is it because of an alcoholic addiction? That will inevitably cause liver problems. If in fact this is the case, the contributing cause is not the pesticides per say or a liver that is diseased but an addiction to alcohol.
Or, is it because of the side effects of multiple medications that are taken? It is well documented that certain medications cause liver damage.
Or, is it because of a Hepatitis C infection? A hepatitis infection can cause liver disease. My uncle Gordon was treated for Parkinson’s disease for 15 years before he died in 2009. An autopsy revealed he did not have Parkinson’s. He had Hepatitis C.
The point of course is that when a decision is make that the cause is pesticides of Hepatitis C, treatments will focus on detoxing pesticides or treating the Hepatitis C infection.
But wait here. Can the liver tolerate the chelation of the pesticide toxin or antibiotic treatment of Hepatitis C?
Not if the side effects of medications caused liver disease.
Not if an alcoholic refuses to stop drinking alcohol.
I have talked with dozens of persons with Parkinson’s symptoms who have pursued methods to detox toxins with limited success. Why are they unable to succeed with getting the toxins out of their body?
One or more of their elimination organs (kidneys, liver, colon, skin) are compromised. These organs have to be brought back to full functionality before any detox regime can succeed.
The above possibilities illustrate what I have presented in the video and what Randy Menzter discussed in the clip of my interview with him.
When symptoms emerge, most people conclude that their body is broken. The body’s natural state is one of harmony, balance and wellness. We simply need to support its ability to succeed at helping us heal from the inside out.
Many people have concerns over the possibility metal crowns might be a factor that is contributing to their symptoms. To explore the possibility I might have problems with crowns, I interviewed Simon King, a chiropractor from a town just north of London, England. During my interview with Simon I discovered that one of my metal crowns appeared to be interrupting the signals that are continuously being exchanged between my brain and my muscles. Simon explained that this problem would lead to serious health challenges for me down the line.
I decided to replace the metal crown. My dentist completed replacement of my problematic metal crown with a non-metal crown. The new crown is called a lava crown which is a type of hand pressed glass material. It is very durable and non toxic.
It has now been four weeks since the replacement. Before I had problems swallowing pills. That challenge has eased considerably. I have no more sore throats or sore gums. I have more energy. I hear more clearly. It doesn’t hurt now to chew food. All in all I would say it was a good decision to replace the metal crown.
If you have an intuition that you might have problems with crowns I invite you to listen to my interview with Simon:
If you are motivated to explore this option further, you can check out a listing of holistic dentists (primarily in the US) who are have special training in the replacement of metal fillings or crowns with non-metalic material. This particular group of dentists call themselves holistic dentists. They are concerned about the potential health problems that metal crowns might be causing for people.
Do we know for sure whether metal in your mouth can cause the symptoms of Parkinsons. There is no definitive research on the matter. Speaking intuitively, my body feels stronger, lighter and healthier now that the metal has been removed from my mouth.
If you have any personal experience with getting metal removed from your teeth, please comment! Some people with the symptoms of Parkinsons tell me that they experience little difference after getting the metal removed. Other people tell me they notice a huge improvement.
If there is an ounce of a chance it might help, the issue surely merits further investigation. If you have had any personal experience with metal crowns or fillings, please comment!

Light therapy has floated to the top of the list as a promising treatment for Parkinson’s after reviewing results of my 2022 Parkinsons Recovery holiday survey. A surprising number of respondents to the survey reported that low level laser light therapy (or photobiomodulation) helped them celebrate relief from their symptoms.
Light therapy is not new. It has been researched under a variety of terms for over 40 years: low level laser therapy or LLLT, laser biostimulation and most recently photobiomodulation. This noninvasive therapy has been used in clinical practices to treat healing-resistant wounds, ulcers, pain and nervous system injuries. More recently it is a therapy that has attracted the attention of researchers as a therapy for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
The interview clip below is with Dr. Lew Lim, the CEO of Vielight that has developed several photobiomodulation devices.
A July 2018 a University of California San Francisco study conducted by Linda Chao PhD offered compelling support for its application to treat dementia. Eight adults diagnosed with dementia participated in the study. Four subjects received 12 weeks of self-administered photobiomodulation treatments in their homes. Four were assigned to a control group. Treatments were administered using a commercially available device (Vielight Neuro Gamma). Outcome measures were assessed at baseline, 6-weeks, and 12-weeks.
Findings revealed significant improvement in cognition and functional connectivity. Dr. Chao concluded that photobiomodulation therapy is a safe, non-pharmacological therapy that can be used to treat patients in their homes.
Results of this study are indeed impressive. Large samples are typically required for a study to show significance. Despite its small size, this study showed significant results.
Below Dr. Lim why photobiomodulation is an effective treatment for dementia.
Light Therapy Research
Individuals who responded to the 2022 Parkinsons Recovery survey reported that photobiomodulation (or low level laser therapy) was one of the top five therapies found to be most beneficial. This finding is backed up by a series of research research studies that focus on the beneficial effects of photobiomodulation for individuals diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease. Visit the link below for a listing of these study abstracts:
Since diffuse light does not easily pass through the skull, Dr. Lim’s had the brilliant idea to pass the light through a device clipped to the nose. Now, in my book of creativity, that is inventiveness at its best!
Click the image below to hear the interview and learn more about Dr. Lim’s new photobiomodulation device called the Vielight Gamma.
It would seem at this early stage that you cannot go wrong to be open to allow light to shine brightly on the surface of your body and of course your retina!
What has been the experience of persons with Parkinsons symptoms who have been using the Vielight Gamma Device?
Thus far, several hundred persons who listened to my interview on the Vielight device purchased the neuro gamma device using the 10% discount coupon code (healing4me) Dr. Lim provided to listeners of my Parkinsons Recovery Radio Show interview. Those who acquired the device were invited to return the device to the company for a 80% refund after using it for six months if it did not offer relief from their symptoms.
The company reports to me that 10% of the Neuro Gamma units have been returned. One estimate of effectiveness is that approximately 90% of users are satisfied it helps address some symptoms. The odds are certainly in your favor that the device will be beneficial. Know also that it does not help everyone.
I have also heard from a member of my audience who is connected with a wide community of persons with Parkinsons symptoms. He reports that virtually all users experienced welcome relief from some symptoms. For some, the most pronounced results were seen in the initial 4 months or so, after which the improvements tended to level off.
Anecdotal Reports about the Vielight Photobiomodulation Neuro Device as a Treatment for Parkinson’s Symptoms
Informal feedback from users who are members of my audience is captured below:
One common report from users is that the therapy does not show quick results. You apparently have to apply the therapy over a period of several weeks to a month or longer to celebrate a positive shift in symptoms.
I have heard several specific reports on tremors that were calmed.
It is unclear at this point to what degree the therapy will address balance issues, but I have heard it seems to offer help with gait issues.
Evidence does suggest that this therapy can potentially help with dementia.
One user reported a definite return of smell, but the jury was out on the effect on tremors and other symptoms.
The wife of one 85 year old man with advanced Parkinson’s symptoms reported that after 6 weeks of using the Vielight Neuro device there were no major improvements but several minor ones of some consequence: Her husband reports being more alert, sleeping better, his cough is less, he has been inspired lately to use his automatic peddler and his hallucinations have dwindled. She reports it has been an answer for a better quality of life for both of them and promises to keep me updated.
Of course, it is difficult for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s to attribute an improvement in symptoms directly to the Vielight photobiomodulation therapy when they are taking advantage of other therapies at the same time. Reports above are a general summary of the informal feedback I have received in emails and phone conversations. One person told me it did not offer them the relief they had expected and returned the unit.
Like virtually all natural therapies I have documented over the past several decades, the Vielight Neuro Gamma device will not help everyone. Odds do appear to be in your favor if you decide to try it out.
Dr. Lim has has also invented a device called the X-Plus which delivers light directly to the mid brain. This device is designed to send light to the midbrain which is the location of issues associated with Parkinson’s symptoms.

An abstract of a 2024 study below finds a link between gut microbes in Parkinson’s patients with decreased levels of two B vitamins: riboflavin ( vitamin B2) and biotin (vitamin B7). Researchers recommend patients supplement Vitamins B2 and B7 for Parkinson’s.
Research shows there is a strong link between the health of our gut and Parkinson’s symptoms.
Researchers have long recommended patients discuss with their doctor the supplementation of B1, B5 and B12 vitamins, largely because medications cause their gradual depletion. This recent study adds to the list of two additional B vitamins: B2 and B7.
Supplementation is possible from eating certain foods as well as taking supplements. Many foods contain B2 (spinach is one) and B7 (such as eggs and salmon)
A deficiency B vitamins has been correlated with a decrease in short-chain fatty acids. These are the molecules that create a healthy mucus layer in the intestines. This leads to a thinning of the mucus layer in the intestines which in turn increases intestinal permeability.
A compromised intestinal layer exposes the nervous system to be assaulted by toxins such as cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides. This is why toxins are one of the primary causes of Parkinson’s symptoms and why detox protocols are fundamental to a successful recovery.
Below is an Abstract of the Recent Study
NPJ Parkinsons Dis. 2024 May 21;10(1):106. Meta-analysis of shotgun sequencing of gut microbiota in Parkinson’s disease
Abstract
We aimed to identify gut microbial features in Parkinson’s disease (PD) across countries by meta-analyzing our fecal shotgun sequencing dataset of 94 PD patients and 73 controls in Japan with five previously reported datasets from USA, Germany, China1, China2, and Taiwan. GC-MS and LC-MS/MS assays were established to quantify fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and fecal polyamines, respectively. ?-Diversity was increased in PD across six datasets.
Taxonomic analysis showed that species Akkermansia muciniphila was increased in PD, while species Roseburia intestinalis and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii were decreased in PD. Pathway analysis showed that genes in the biosyntheses of riboflavin and biotin were markedly decreased in PD after adjusting for confounding factors. Five out of six categories in carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were decreased in PD. Metabolomic analysis of our fecal samples revealed that fecal SCFAs and polyamines were significantly decreased in PD. Genes in the riboflavin and biotin biosyntheses were positively correlated with the fecal concentrations of SCFAs and polyamines.
Bacteria that accounted for the decreased riboflavin biosynthesis in Japan, the USA, and Germany were different from those in China1, China2, and Taiwan. Similarly, different bacteria accounted for decreased biotin biosynthesis in the two country groups.
Why to supplement vitamins B2 and B7 for Parkinson’s
Decreased SCFAs and polyamines reduce the intestinal mucus layer, which subsequently facilitates the formation of abnormal synuclein fibrils in the intestinal neural plexus in Parkinson’s patients. This causes and neuro-inflammation in and compromises the ability of the body to eliminate toxins.
There is a specific feeling that makes recovery so challenging. Unless it is acknowledged and released, the symptoms will undoubtedly persist. What then is the feeling that feeds Parkinson’s symptoms day in and day out?
The feeling that feeds Parkinson’s symptoms is unresolved anger. Are you angry because you are currently experience symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease? You certainly have every reason to be.
Anger of course can be expressed in the most unexpected places and times. The target of anger can be anyone and anything.
Spouses Children Parents A Job Your Body
Of course, anger may not be expressed openly. We often hold it in, fearing an expression of anger will alienate our friends and family. This of course is a realistic fear and why so many of us do not express our anger. We hold it in.
If you have been taking all of the steps needed to recover but continue to experience problematic symptoms, the reason may well be unresolved anger. The first step is to acknowledge your unexpressed and unresolved anger. The second is to release it.
The therapy I have found helpful is Core Energetics. Why not contact a practitioner and see if this therapy might help you resolve anger issues (whether expressed or not).
Liver Detoxes
Unresolved anger compromises the function of our liver to eliminate toxins. A majority of persons in the Parkinsons Recovery audience have issues with toxins. An ongoing detox protocol is recommended when anger issues continue to be unresolved.
Summary
Unresolved feelings lie at the foundation of every chronic illnesses. Often these feelings are unconscious and unacknowledged. What is the feeling that sustains Parkinson’s symptoms? It is anger.
A successful journey down the road to recovery from Parkinson’s disease will be roadblocked until any and all anger issues are resolved. First, acknowledge to yourself anger is an issue for you. Second, take steps needed to release anger that is stuck at the cellular level in your body.

Selected for inclusion in this comprehensive online course are the most useful tips, strategies, therapies and suggestions I have documented during the past decade and a half. Many are taken from the wisdom of guests on Parkinsons Recovery Radio.
I want everyone to know about the many proven techniques, therapies and strategies that offer the promise of reducing the troubling consequence of falling, freezing and tripping. It is high time to stop worries about having to make visits to hospital emergency rooms because of broken bones, sprains or muscle tears.
The strategies, suggestions and tips for walking have been taken from the wisdom of two primary sources: individuals with Parkinson’s symptoms and knowledgeable health care professionals. Radio show guests reveal how they have succeeded in improving their own gait, walking pace and overall stability.
Physical therapists and other health care professions who work with persons with Parkinson’s symptoms offer practical suggestions that they use with their patients. Image is taken from https://www.chionline.org/
Ease of mobility is derailed when there is a disconnection between the mind and the body. This course covers how to restore this connection.
The Fundamentals
Discover tried and true strategies that make it possible for walking to be balanced, centered, stable and safe every time.
Feet
Feet need to be flexible and malleable for walking to be rock solid. Locations of rigidity in the bottom of your feet give important clues about why mobility is compromised.
Vision
Sometimes a limitation or obstruction of peripheral vision accounts for mobility challenges. Other times it is a question of where you look when walking.
Grounding
A reason for falling, tripping and freezing is a lack of grounding. The human energy field that supports the physical body is top heavy. Discover ways to balance and center the energy field.
Exercises
Simple exercises are discussed that address specific problems with mobility including poor posture, rigidity, freezing and shuffling.
Mindful Walking
Studies report that becoming mindful promotes walking that is rock solid. Become totally aware of the “now” experience rather than regretting the past or worrying about the future.
How to Kick Start Mobility
Practical Suggestions for How to Kick Start Mobility Challenges
Sound Therapy
Research shows that listening to music that has well defined beats and rhythms facilitates a steady and reliable pace of walking.
Light Therapy
Light can have an immediate effect on effortless mobility. For some people, wearing glasses that allow a specific color to dominate vision shifts walking from being awkward to effortless.
The online Rock Solid Walking course is accessible using any phone or computer.

Spinal Decompression
Problems with mobility can be caused by compression in the spine which can be corrected with a series of chiropractic adjustments.
Break Down Each Movement into its Component Parts
Any movement can be broken down into its component parts which make up the whole. Focus on the parts – not the movement taken as a whole. .
Solution for Tick Tock Walking
Re-train your body to remember how to walk with evenly paced, evenly distanced strides.
Stochastic Resonance Therapy
A new invention from Germany adds a critical feature to vibration therapy by delivering the frequency of the vibrations randomly.
Chakra Healing
Watch a demonstration of a brief chakra healing using the voice to emit sounds that open up the energy flow through chakras.
Solution for Rigidity
Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and one of the best therapies that offer relief from rigidity and stiffness..
Underlying Cause of Gait Difficulties
What really lies as the foundation of mobility challenges? Answer: Trauma locks up the muscles and freezes flexibility
Dance Your Way to Success
The Tango – among other dances – helps maintain balance and centeredness. It is also fun and energizing.
Issues with Walkers
Are you considering using a walker to prevent falls? Select one that supports good posture rather than destroying it.
Access Memories to Facilitate Rock Solid Walking
When struggling with large or small movements, recall an activity of the past that involved doing a similar movement effortlessly.
Yoga
Consistent practice of yoga helps make rock solid walking a reality

Photobiomodulation Parkinson’s Study Results Released
Finally! I have been eagerly waiting to learn results of a 3 year Australian photobiomodulation Parkinson’s study that examined the impact of light therapy (using Vielight.com devices (10% coupon code healing4me) on symptoms of persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Results have finally been published.
Documented reductions in symptoms far exceeded my expectations. Measures of mobility, cognition, dynamic balance and fine motor skill for the 12 Parkinson’s research subjects were significantly improved (p < 0.05) with photobiomodulation treatment for 12 weeks and up to one year. Many individual improvements were above the minimal clinically important difference, the threshold judged to be meaningful for participants. Individual improvements varied but many continued for up to one year with sustained home treatment.
The design of this study was eloquent. Participants were assessed for mobility, fine motor skills, balance and cognition before treatment began, after 4 weeks of treatment, after 12 weeks of treatment and the end of the home treatment period.
Researchers drew the following conclusions:
“PBM (photobiomodulation) was shown to be a safe and potentially effective treatment for a range of clinical signs and symptoms of PD. Improvements were maintained for as long as treatment continued, for up to one year in a neurodegenerative disease where decline is typically expected.”
The Future of Medicine has Arrived
Click on the link below to hear my interview on Parkinsons Recovery Radio with Dr. Lew Lim, inventor of Vielight photobiomodulation devices. This interview was conducted before publication of the photobiomodulation Parkinson’s study.
I predict the future of medicine rests with innovative therapies that utilize light and sound to bring the body back into balance and harmony. 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.
Results of this photobiomodulation Parkinson’s study affirm these expectations.
I predict Dr. Lim’s new invention promises to set health care in new and exciting directions and has the potential to offer far reaching benefits to persons experiencing Parkinsons symptoms.
After listening to this interview, I am even more optimistic about this therapy for Parkinsons and other conditions including mental fog and dementia. Be sure to listen to my interview with Dr. Lim posted at the top of this post. I believe Dr. Lim is a true pioneer who has invented medicine of the future which uses light.
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.
Dr. Lim is an engineer and a Doctor of Natural Medicine with additional diplomas in Medical Neuroscience and Business and Accountancy. He obtained his degrees and diplomas from the University of California at Berkeley, University of Sheffield, Duke University, Quantum University and The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, UK.

Research on Light Therapy from MIT
The following video previews recent research at MIT that explains why light therapy offers a promising opportunity to reverse dementia associated with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
I hope many of you will try this therapy out and let me know the result. It is not a permanent “fix” to be sure, but neither is medicine. I am attracted to this option because it is noninvasive and inexpensive over the long term when you consider it can be used for a lifetime and by all members of the household.
Photobiomodulation Mechanism
Visible red and near infrared light energy stimulates cells to generate more energy facilitating self-repair. The healing takes place within the mitochondria through an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase. This enzyme accepts and converts the light (or photonic) energy into cellular energy (ATP) and other gene transcription factors leading to cellular repair and regeneration.
Will Photobiomodulation Therapy Interfere with My Daily Life?
No. You are welcome to receive the therapy while working, reading or doing anything really. Dr. Lim, the inventor, recommends that people with more serious health issues such as Alzheimers might be advised to do the therapy at night while going to sleep. The treatment duration lasts only 20 minutes.

Photobiomodulation for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
What follows is an email I have permission to post regarding the photobiomodulation gamma device from Vielight. As with any therapy, do your due diligence in deciding whether this therapy is right for you.
“I want to let you know my wife’s experience so far with the Vielight gamma device.
We received the device on 1/25/18 and started using the device per Dr. Lim’s instructions 6 days on 1 day off. It took about 3 weeks to start seeing benefits. The benefits have been clearer head, more confident, better balance(hasn’t fallen since 1/15/18 with prior multiple falls weekly), better gait, much less threshold challenges, and has been able to reduce medication by about a third.
A little history about my wife, she has had Parkinson’s since 1995. Per her neurologist as of May 2017 she was level 4 with the disease ready for wheel chair. In June 2017 we began our journey with hrhyperbaric.com here in Norfolk, Va. She completed 40 dives, which basically gave her her life back. It was the best money we have ever spent on her treatment. You can see her video on their website.
After the last month of the vielight, we have experienced an extension of the benefits similar to HBOT but the Vielight has done more overall and at this point is much better investment.
Thanks again for getting the word out on Vielight. Please feel free to use this information to help others.”
Bernadette Hunter, an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner, works with Monica who volunteered to be a demonstration client for the program. Monica is diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping, is a form of psychological acupressure that involves tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on a particular emotional issue or problem. The technique is rooted in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, particularly the concept of energy meridians, which are believed to be channels through which the body’s energy flows. EFT combines elements of cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, and acupressure.
How it works: EFT involves using your fingertips to tap on a series of acupressure points, primarily on the face, head, and upper body, while simultaneously stating phrases that address the emotional issue at hand. The tapping is thought to help balance the body’s energy system and alleviate emotional stress. The process typically follows these steps:
Identify the issue: Focus on a specific emotional or psychological issue, such as anxiety, fear, pain, or trauma.
Rate the intensity: Assess the intensity of the emotional charge on a scale of 0 to 10 (with 10 being the most intense).
Set up statement: While tapping on a point (usually the karate chop point on the side of the hand), say an affirmation like “Even though I feel [emotion], I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Tapping sequence: Tap on a series of acupressure points while mentally focusing on the issue, repeating short phrases that express the emotion or problem.
Reassess: After completing the tapping sequence, assess the intensity again. Ideally, the emotional charge should decrease.
What follows is Monica’s report on the results of the work which, as you will see, is quite amazing. She graciously gave her permission for me to post her report below.
I had a vet apt this AM and I wanted to advise you of the outcome. On a scale of 1 – 10, the experience was a 0 – 1. I noticed also while driving there was more relaxation. I felt very happy inside, very relieved that I could feel this way after 2 yrs of fighting and worrying about nothing..I think it may be carrying over to improving my walking in confined areas, like inside the house. I was so tense inside the house. Something has released but I cant put my finger on it, something to do with fear…
Tomorrow I have an even longer drive to meet a girlfriend for brunch…I have no anxiety about it. There’s no fighting going on in my head. I actually am looking forward to the whole event.
Below is an e mail after the brunch:
I had another longer driving trip 2 days later with continued good results…Also noticed the longer I drove the more relaxed I became as far as more relaxed in the forearms vs tightened contracted muscles…
I’m going to further work with emotional freedom technique and Bernadette on the negative pleasure concept you wrote about. I agree with your other observation about adrenaline vs dopamine systems. I have been on adrenaline so long that its depletive and dopamine has gone bye bye or is dormant from non-use. So no wonder I shake or freeze. I know without doubt that fear emotion is the root cause…
Steer a Steady Course on the Road to Recovery from Parkinson’s Disease
In small part, recovery from Parkinson’s disease is about medicines, supplements, exercise and good food.
In large part, it is about our own thoughts that declare we cannot heal, stress that soars to new heights every day, anxiety that seems to never lift, toxins that eat away at tissues and even infections that destroy cells.
The Jump Start to Recovery Course offered by Parkinsons Recovery founder Robert Rodgers PhD introduces the steps one by one that must be taken to celebrate a successful journey down the road to recovery.
Erase negative thinking that does not serve the best interests of your recovery?
Discover what is causing your symptoms?
Explore natural treatment options that reverse your symptoms?
Manage your anxiety?
Release past trauma?
In short, do you want to reverse the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease? Want to do that in 2026? Jump Start to Recovery provides the resources and support needed for a successful journey down the road to recovery.
Lillian comments on Jump Start to Recovery
About Jump Start to Recovery
Since 2004 I have been conducting research on the factors that cause Parkinson’s symptoms and natural therapies that offer the opportunity to reverse them. After two decades of research, I have integrated my discoveries into my best selling Jump Start to Recovery online course. Included are recent discoveries that are revolutionizing how neurological conditions can be successfully reversed.
Jump Start to Recovery is the whole enchilada!
These sessions were very helpful as far as truly understanding Parkinson’s disease. To me it’s like a mystery movie playing out in your body and your job is to solve that mystery by trying everything you can to find answers as your body give you clues. The class helped a lot with my anxiety which was a very big problem for me. I still have it but now I seem to be able to control it better. Also I especially enjoyed listening to what the others had to say about the different things they are doing to help their symptoms. Jeannette
In short, Jump Start to Recovery offers a wealth of resources I have identified over the past two decades that have been helping people reverse their symptoms.
Why not set the intention to formulate a personalized recovery program that supports a successful journey down the road to recovery in 2026?
Hi Robert, Thank you so much for putting the jump start program in the place. I am experiencing great benefits from your knowledge as well as the experiences of others. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 8 months ago by a neurologist. Not believing her, I drove 2 1/2 hours for a second opinion by another neurologist that specializes in movement disorders. It was confirmed. Beyond a reasonable doubt, they said. I accessed your materials within one month of the diagnosis. I refused medication and put together my own program, with the help of your materials.
I want you to know that this week alone, my neurophysical therapist, my acupuncturist, and my cervical chiropractor, have all said no way, no way, do you have Parkinson’s Disease! They all three have many clients with PD. Whether I actually had it or just the symptoms does not matter. I am on the road to recovery! The best is yet to come!

Purpose of Jump Start to Recovery
The good news about Parkinson’s disease is that it is possible to feel better and celebrate relief from symptoms. Jump Start to Recovery demonstrates what other people with Parkinson’s have done for themselves to feel better.
Everyone knows some things that can make a difference. Eat healthy food. Exercise. Reduce stress. Maybe you do this. Maybe not. Jump Start to Recovery introduces fresh ideas and approaches that are making a huge difference to the quality of life for people who currently experience Parkinson’s symptoms.
The Jump Start to Recovery experience helps you discover what you can do for yourself to feel better. You read the last sentence correctly. Jump Start to Recovery is all about putting you in the drivers seat of your own recovery. It is not about convincing you to buy into any particular therapy.
More and more people are reversing their symptoms, but the path to success differs for everyone. Given the complexity of this particular neurological condition, there will never be a single magical solution that will fix the problem for everyone.
Jump Start to Recovery helps you figure out for yourself the natural therapies that will offer you the best opportunity for returning to your natural state – the state of balance and health.
My mission is to help you steer a steady course on the road to recovery. You are the one who heals.
My role is to facilitate your process of recovery. You are the one in control.
Hi Robert,
Now that our Jump Start to Recovery program has completed, I want to thank you. Your knowledge and skill in guiding us through each session was very helpful and appreciated. You affirmed my feelings that I need to learn to trust my gut instinct and maintain control over my own healing journey.
Thank you for making time to respond to every one of my emails when I was looking for information. I’m looking forward to having ongoing access to all the resources you are posting. All the Best, Ann
It goes without saying that the 2026 Jump Start to Recovery course will not offer a quick fix or “cure”. Given the complexity of the factors that contribute to the symptoms of Parkinson’s, it is highly unlikely that any single “cure” will ever be found.
I do believe it is possible for each person to discover opportunities to get great relief from their symptoms and lead a full and productive life. My research has revealed that many people’s lives are enriched beyond measure after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Some are symptom free today. Others are successfully traveling down the road to recovery,
Grateful…yes, that is the word for the Jump Start To Recovery. The opportunity to share and reflect in a neutral space, a place where awkwardness crumbled in the mind’s inner core to be awakened on a new path for discovery.

What Helps Reverse Parkinson’s Symptoms?
Find out by enrolling in the Jump Start to Recovery course. You get to take the journey with other participants who are also committed to their own healing.
Many people use prescription medications to control their hormones. This works well for some people and not so well for others. Jump Start to Recovery introduces various options that capitalize on natural therapies and approaches that facilitate recovery. My goal is to help you heal yourself from the inside-out by learning how to reset the delicate ‘thermostat” your body uses to balance your body’s hormones.
Hi Rob:
Your program provides extreme value in guiding me through the process I had already embarked on. The guidance you provide as well as the guidance the other participants provide through their stories is rock solid spot on , so my body confirms. Allowing to feel the old pains – getting presented where they come from , processing and synchronizing the mind and body and … releasing the old energy captured in my body after that is on my daily menu – all comments provide confirmation of what I am going through. All is part of the process.
Medication camouflages the real ‘feeling it’, processing it and cleaning it up – therefore I can imagine that when people take medication it is hard to help them heal, as the experience remains hidden. Until also max medication can’t cover it up any longer – The area where medication does not yet or not anymore camouflages the symptoms is the area where the work lays. That’s where the nasty bits stick up their ugly heads, asking and yelling to be felt, recognized and healed.
So grateful that I was given the techniques to handle the phenomena that then arise, through the guidance received from many, as a preparation for the release process which is now intensifying, and the relief that that brings afterwards – every time again.So grateful for folks like yourselves!! Just had to let you know. Grateful regards,
Hans
Can I Participate If I Take Medications?
Heavens yes! Medications are simply one of the many options that many people pursue to get relief from their symptoms. Many participants in our Jump Start to Recovery Programs currently take medications of one type or another. Methods that improve the efficacy of medicines and make it possible for them to last longer will be addressed in the course.
Hello Robert,
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your Jump Start Program. I appreciate all the time and effort you put in to it. I learned so much and now have so many options to explore and research. Thank you so much
Janie
Can a Family Member Participate?
Yes indeed. Family members are always welcome in all of the classes. They play a critical role in the recovery process.
Thank you so much for a wonderful seminar, full of a lot of practical ideas to help oneself, and most importantly your genuine care and concern for everyone. May Our Lord continue to bless your work with Parkinson’s and instilling hope and the positive approach that this does not have to be a life sentence. God bless you always,
Mary and Jeff
Reasons to Register for Jump Start to Recovery
Jump Start to Recovery does not replace the critical role of your doctor and other health care providers. It is critical that you consult with your doctor before starting any natural therapy that is introduced through the Jump Start to Recovery course.
Past experience has shown that best results come from gently nudging your body to do the intricate work of balancing hormones. Short term remedies do produce awesome results for a few weeks or months. Jump Start to Recovery is all about helping you discover ways of nurturing your body so that you enjoy long term relief of symptoms.
I got the diagnosis from the neurologist last year in May and made the choice not to take medication. I started to do my own research. I changed habits (still do), started to heal traumas and now I am healing my gut. So, your Jump Start program is a great welcome and a big confirmation that I am on the road (my road) to be recovered. Recovery is my goal. Thank you for this wonderful Jump Start.

Stress and trauma aggravate the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Sometimes trauma from the past – even in childhood – can be so horrific that it remains contained and stuck in your physical body. Trauma from the past can literally be lodged in your tissues. Reduce ongoing stress by releasing traumas.
There are gentle ways to release unresolved trauma. When stress and trauma are released from the body, it becomes possible to return to a familiar state for the body – a natural state of balance and harmony. The body’s natural tendency is toward health and wellness, not toward disease. At Jump Start to Recovery we introduce a variety of powerful methods that gently nudge the body to remember how to maintain the delicate balance of hormones and sustain overall health.
Lay a Fresh Foundation for Recovery
Much of my research over the past two decades involves identifying the therapies and treatments that help people with Parkinson’s celebrate relief from their symptoms. I know a great deal about what helps because people with the symptoms of Parkinson’s tell me what helps them.
What lies at the foundation of the symptoms? Some researchers believe genes lie at the foundation. I enthusiastically applaud their work. Other researchers believe chemical and hormonal imbalances lie at the foundation of symptoms. I enthusiastically applaud and support this stream of research. Still other researchers focus on developing new drugs and surgeries. I too enthusiastically applaud and support this work.
I center my attention on an entirely different approach – the identification of what is causing the symptoms. Once the cause has been identified, appropriate therapies can be pursued to reverse symptoms.
Thought forms also lie at the foundation of the symptoms. Thoughts which bring up fears, anxieties and stress will inevitably wreak havoc on a sensitive neurological system. When we churn a hamster wheel of negative thoughts day in and day out, physical discomfort and disability will inevitably persist.
When destructive thoughts are dismantled and replaced with a new foundation of thoughts that serve our highest and best good, recovery becomes possible. This is when correcting all imbalances in the body happens.
Entanglements in family systems can also impede recovery. Once identified, these entanglements can be cleared. Clearly entanglements is also an important focus of Jump Start to Recovery programs.
Learn about Natural Approaches and Methods for Releasing Toxins and Viruses
Viruses and toxins also contribute to the symptoms of Parkinson’s. There are a wide variety of natural and safe approaches that can be used to release toxins and viruses from the body. Jump Start to Recovery offers explanations of natural approaches that facilitate the release of toxins, bacteria and viruses that clog up the neural networks. Many people are unaware that they are being re-exposed to toxins from every day exposures.
The Path to Recovery Starts with Jump Start to Recovery
There is no doubt about it. People feel better when they are not stressed and when they take control of their own health. Jump Start to Recovery is informative, interesting, fun and stress free. Learn what you need to know to feel better at Jump Start . Have fun doing it. Why wait?

What follows is a fascinating email from an individual traveling down the road to recovery who has invented a way use tremors to muscle test. He refers to himself as “Tao.” As you will discover below, his tremors are a surprisingly useful tool when it comes to muscle testing!
“I was having little success with trying various muscle testing techniques and it finally dawned on me to ask myself the question, “what might work best for me”.
Before I even finished asking that very question the thought came on like a light switch that I should use the tremor (that by the way I first acknowledged/interpreted as a ‘spiritual gift’ coming through back when I was living and backpacking in the Appellation Mountains last summer) as a method parallel to muscle testing.
I extend out my arm and briefly shake it into a relaxed state, then hold the pen as if i were about to write. The little pause before the tremor is my yes and a more aggressive instant tremor a no.
Hi Robert, some weeks ago I sent you a mail telling you my method to improve my walking especially in ff times. Here is a short video showing me first walking without the music – then afterwards walking with music and demonstrates the magic of music for Parkinsons.
You can very well see in this video the result on my walking when I listen with concentration to the music. I would love other PD persons having problems with walking to have the same possibility of walking much better and for a Long time. The music has to be very Rhythmik with about 105 Beats per minute on the Metronom.
There is no medicine that can make me walk immediately – so I askmyself why nobody prescribes the Radetzky March to me ……….
What do you think about the result ?
Gerdi
This amazing video speaks for itself! Your video speaks to the reality of the magic of music for Parkinsons. This therapy is natural, safe, fun and a 100% effective solution. It is one of the best natural therapies available.
Music Facilitates Movement
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation: One of the most well-researched areas of music therapy for Parkinson’s is the use of rhythmic auditory cues to help with motor control. Patients often experience a reduction in symptoms like bradykinesia (slowness of movement) and tremors when they move in synchrony with a steady beat. Rhythmic cues can help improve walking patterns, gait, and overall mobility.
Enhanced Gait and Posture: Music with a clear, steady rhythm can help improve walking speed, stride length, and posture. Patients with Parkinson’s often struggle with walking, and rhythmic cues can help them walk more smoothly and confidently.
Movement Initiation: People with Parkinson’s sometimes have difficulty initiating voluntary movement, a phenomenon known as “freezing.” Music and rhythm can help overcome this by providing an external cue that prompts movement.
The photobiomodulation Vielight devices use an Intranasal delivery of the light therapy which is the most efficient method for delivering light energy to the brain and body.
