News Fast

One easy way to reduce stress is to get serious about a news fast. Am I talking here about getting a little taste of what is up in the world every day? No! The idea here is to go cold turkey on watching, listening or even reading the news.

I have Rita’s permission to post her email to me today. Rita reflects on her own experience with getting serious about her own news fast. Most news does not reduce anxiety. It fuels anxiety. If you are serious about finding ways to reduce whatever symptoms of Parkinson’s disease you might currently be experiencing, I recommend you consider giving a news fast a trial run.

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

Regarding last week’s mindfulness challenge to take a news fast, I decided to do that. Our ministers in Self-Realization Fellowship, our church, have reminded us from time to time to read and listen to much less news. So after reading your challenge, I realized that I was actually ready to do this.

I don’t listen to the radio except for classical music 20 minutes per day while I ride the stationary bike and we don’t even have our TV connected to watch it. My news addiction is to the newspapers which I have been reading for over 60 years. Â We subscribe to the San Diego Tribune and LA Times. My routine is to sit down to breakfast every morning with the sudoku and then to read the newspapers at each meal. Russ and I both did this every meal. What a deep ingrained habit!

I cancelled both papers yesterday. I realized that there is no way I can escape knowing what is happening in the world so I don’t have to worry. Sudokus I can print or work online for free.

It already feels great – a lightness and sense of escape from a daily subconscious burden of getting the papers read before the end of the day. Hardly anything in the papers is anything that is important for me to know. It’s a relief not to have them coming anymore, even to picking them up in the driveway and recycling them all.

So I am grateful for your challenge; I was ready and it was the final prod I needed to give up the daily barrage of news. Plus we will save $70 per month. Thank you for all the mindfulness e-mails; they are all beneficial whether I can actually implement them or not at the moment.

Sincerely,

Rita

Trouble Sleeping?

Have Trouble Sleeping at Night?

Many people who experience symptoms of Parkinson’s disease do have trouble sleeping.  You should be able to gain helpful insights into a potential reason for this problem depending on when you cannot get to sleep at night.  Organs in the body are more active at specific times during the day and night according to the tried and true Chinese Medicine Clock.

Here is an example of how you can use the Chinese Time Clock when you have difficult sleeping. It helps you determine what may be causing the problem. Do you often have a difficult time getting to  sleep between 1 am and 3 am?  If you do, the potential cause is a liver imbalance or a persistent stagnation in energy flowing through the liver.

If this is a pattern of yours, acupuncturists recommend that you can cleanse your liver at the start of each day by drinking a cup of warm water that contains the juice of a half lemon squeezed into it.  Exercise during the day is important. In addition, you can also try taking 1-2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar throughout the day.

These are all natural remedies acupuncturists recommend for liver cleanses which, with a little luck, may also facilitate sounder sleep during that 1-3 am hour.

Sweating Out Parkinson’s Disease

What follows is an email from Chris Hagerseth who is on a mission to spread the news Parkinson’s is reversible.

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

Here at Sweating Out Parkinson’s Disease, Inc., we’re are on a mission to Uganda to provide holistic medical care to Persons with Parkinson’s disease (PwP). The 40,000 PwPs in Uganda receive no care at all. There is but one doctor for every 12,000 people. Illiteracy and poverty make their situation virtually hopeless.

But we have a unique intervention: a holistic approach to Parkinson’s that involves psychological adjustment, exercise, and yoga.

Our goal is to raise $36,000 over six weeks. To make this a success, our campaign needs a loyal group of “true believers” who can email the campaign to 100 of their friends or colleagues on launch day. In exchange, you’ll get a free T shirt and the deep satisfaction knowing you are part of a movement that will radically change the lives of thousands of people.

Insomnia? Can’t Get to Sleep Until After Midnight?

Is Insomnia a Big Issue for You?

Do you have difficulty getting to sleep until after midnight?  Healing will be obstructed if you have insomnia and are unable to get a good  nights sleep every night.  Many people with Parkinson’s symptoms report they seldom can get to sleep until after midnight or later.  What might be the cause of this?

The Chinese Medicine clock gives us a fascinating clue as to the cause.  Gall bladder energy is strongest from 11 pm until 1 am.  If you have restrictions in your muscles and cramping throughout your body during the day and evening, gall bladder issues are likely to be the cause.  Why would the gall bladder be an issue for people with Parkinson’s symptoms?

The gall bladder is profoundly impacted by stress. Clearly, when stress has flared, symptoms will typically always worsen. Reduce stress. Your gall bladder will thank you. You will also find it easier to get to sleep at night. Easier said than done, right?

Acupuncturists offer a recommendation that may well help you out when you are having difficulty with stress during the day and getting to sleep at night. Massage the sides of your head where the gall bladder channel runs. More specifically, rub immediately above and behind the ears, followed up by squeezing the tops of your shoulders.

While acupuncture itself is not one of the top therapies that people find to be useful for calming their Parkinson’s symptoms, it is an excellent therapy for insomnia and depression, both of which can be significant impediments to recovery for persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

I frequent a community acupuncture clinic which offers treatments at a very affordable price. Such clinics are now popping up in many cities and countries. There is no longer a reason to let finances be a barrier to getting acupuncture treatments. It is well worth taking the time to explore this therapeutic option if you have difficulty sleeping at night.

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease

Below is a fascinating email from Nancy who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I have permission to post her email which tells an exciting story of recovery that emerged for her in a way she could have never imagined or predicted when she launched her journey down the road to recovery three years ago. .

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease three years ago. Your book was a life-changer for me. I refused  to accept the diagnosis. I looked at each symptom and looked  for therapies  just as you described. I fought with the doctors and refused medication. I accepted that I had the symptoms but not the diagnosis.

I fought back some family members as well as a collective consciousness. Two neurologists and one family M.D. told me to stop fooling myself and accept the diagnosis. My Feldenkrais instructor who happens to be a neurologist suggested I see a neurosurgeon as I have a spinal cord injury in her professional opinion. Turns out she was right I went  in for surgery immediately and reversed all of my symptoms and he says I do not have Parkinson’s!

He also said there was a reason why my body refused the medication.  Interesting how had I taken  the meds I would’ve gone down a rabbit hole. My spinal cord injury dated back  10 years ago.  Symptoms started at three or four years ago. Lesson call and never, never, give up and listen to the innate  intelligence of your body.

I’m on the road to recovery. Thank you again, Robert The good work that you do! Happy Independence Day!

Best,

Nancy

Herbal Detoxes

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.

Herbal Detoxes

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.

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.”

Relief for Tremors

“What can I do to relieve me of my hand, foot, and inner head tremors or, at least,relief for tremors experience some relief for tremors? The tremors are in my left hand, left foot, and upper, inner, left side of my head. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2014. I declined prescription  medications.”

Pathway to Freedom

What is the pathway to freedom for anyone experiencing symptoms of Parkinsons?  do any or all of the following reactions resonate?

  • I have been dealt a horrible setback I did not deserve.
  • I have done nothing to deserve Parkinson’s symptoms.
  • I am not guilty of wrong doing.
  • I have been imprisoned unjustly.
  • I have lost my freedom.
  • I have lost friends because of my circumstances
  • I cannot escape my circumstances.
  • I make valiant efforts to escape but I remain jailed.

Well? These resentments are identical to individuals imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. There are estimated to be 120,000 inmates serving sentences in United States prisons who have been convicted of crimes they did not commit. Since 1989, 2000 have been exonerated and freed.

People who experience Parkinson’s symptoms become are also wrongly convicted prisoners in their own right. How does anyone survive when they are victims of imprisonment?  What is the pathway to freedom? What have wrongly convicted prisoners done to remain sane? How were they able to maintain the dedication to pursue their freedom despite the fact many remained imprisoned to 10-20 years before being released from jail?

Stories of recovery and vindication have been documented in a recent book edited by
Laura Caldwell and Leslie Klinger titled Anatomy of Innocence: Testimonies of the Wrongly Convicted. One of the cases is told by former Jazz Musician Antoine Day who was falsely imprisoned for 10 years. He concluded that his mental state would be dependent on his ability to connect with his past.

Through persistence and clear purpose, he succeeded in convincing prison officials to provide musical instruments to inmates who shared his
love of music. Day formed a prison jazz band which helped keep himself and other inmates sane. Inner resolve and commitment were critical to securing his ultimate freedom. His persistence paid off in the end.

Be inspired by the wisdom of Antoinne Day and other wrongly convicted prisoners who refused to give up. In small part it is about persisting in the face of formidable obstacles. In large part it is about embracing your life passions. How can you best activate the process of recovery?

  • Reinvigorate the thrills of what gave you excitement and joy in the past.
  • Embrace your life’s calling.
  • Respond to the call of your soul’s longing.
  • Take the steps you know in your heart, mind and soul will ultimately lead to freedom.

What have you loved in the past that you have abandoned? Embrace it now. That is what Antoinne Day did. Follow his leadership into a new life outside the confines of confinement and restriction.

Persist. The solution will find you at the right time and in the right place. May it not take as long as 10 years to celebrate symptomatic freedom as it did for Antoinne.

Hidden Secrets from our Birth Date and Name

I have never held much stock in interpretations derived from an analysis of our name and/or birth dates. For fun, I decided to make a pass through an automated program (for free) that gave me information about myself after entering my name and birth date. I have to report I was very surprised at the report’s accuracy.

Make a pass for yourself and see what you think. If anything, it is a fun activity. It is free. And it is a welcome distraction from the news of the world. Click on the picture below to retrieve  your own numerology chart and see what you think.

Process of Recovery from Parkinson’s Symptoms


I interviewed Tom House today on the radio show.  He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease about five years ago. Tom has a unique perspective on the “process” of recovery. Note that I used the word “process” not “outcome”. Tom explains that when athletes focus on the “outcome” they want – i.e., winning the game – their performance sinks and they are more likely to lose.

The outcome is not what matters, but the process. Of course people diagnosed with Parkinson’s want to see all symptoms dissolve. To make that happen however, the focus needs to be on the present moment activities and behaviors that in the end make that outcome possible.

This is why mindfulness programs are so successful for people with Parkinson’s.  They focus on process rather than outcomes.

Remarkable Journey on the Appalachian Trail

Tao (his trail name) hiked the Appalachian trail last year with considerable difficulty. Many of his Parkinson’s symptoms became much worse. I suppose some people would conclude that should be the last extended hike he should take. Not Tao.

I received a call from him today. He is doing another long hike down the Appalachian trail this summer. This year, unlike last, he has had no difficulties. Get this. Tao was able to hike a total of 100 miles in three days. He emailed me an inspiring picture taken of him on a scenic route on the trail.
