Five Steps to Recovery

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Meditation, recovery, steps to recovery

Your Five Steps to Recovery book is terrific.

“Recovery will happen for me” is my new mantra.

My body is responding. Also, your suggestion for remembering the feeling from past times I made non wishy washy decisions and the outcome was never seriously in doubt. At first I couldn’t recall such decisions. Then it came later that I had indeed made 4 of them, all life and death decisions based on how I thought and moved in a very short time span.

In my experience as a helicopter pilot I had 4 engine failures over a 30 yr period. One from 500 feet with a student, one from 15 feet over a helipad one at night, over a city from 500 feet, and the last over the ocean from 200 feet with 6 on board. Each one the feeling deep down was that I knew the end result would be successful.

That same feeling is the same feeling I have about recovery. I also have been using the TV screen meditation with interesting, positive results.

I also have to give credit for 5 sessions of EFT with Bernadette Hunter. Y

. It’s all coming together slowly for me. Soon my Aquas will be arriving…

Response:

This is certainly an exciting report for everyone to hear. I am so happy to learn you found Five Steps to Recovery useful. Thank you for sending it me and giving permission for others to read it. There are clearly exciting developments happening in your life. When you are on the road to recovery, it becomes so clear great things are beginning to happen.

Energy is running. A new and powerful life force begins to re-emerge. Of course, the process is seldom smooth sailing, but at least you know something important is happening.

We all have a tendency to focus on symptoms that are troubling and do not celebrate improvement in symptoms that have resolved or become much better.

What Supplements Should I Take?

Pioneers of Recovery, steps to recovery, Supplements

 

I’VE TRIED ALMOST EVERY THERAPY & TREATMENT OVER THE PAST 5 YRS, BUT THAT DARN PD STILL SEEMS TO PROGRESS. THIS INCLUDED TWO STEM CELL TREATMENTS, UCB BY IV OUT OF THE COUNTRY…..IMPROVED OVER 1ST 6 MONTHS, THEM BENEFITS FADED AWAY! WHAT SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD I TAKE. WHAT SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD I TAKE? WHICH ONES HAVE YOU FOUND TO HELP THE MOST?

 

Compounding Pharmacist Randy Mentzer offers a rich answer to this question which turns on your diet, exercise and medications you take. He also offers a preview of tests that can determine which supplements might be beneficial.

The challenge, as Randy so eloquently expresses, is that every one’s needs differs. That is a real bummer to be sure. I think the trick is to learn how to connect with your body. The body is giving us the information about what it needs, we just have to listen. The other key is to be very mindful of what we put into our body as fuel.

The benefit of medications is that they offer temporary relief for some. The downside is that their use depletes certain essential vitamins over time. You do not mention whether you take medications, but if you do. please talk with your doctor about taking B vitamin supplements as well as CoQ10.

I record weekly meditations where I address the challenge of connecting with our bodies.  New meditations are posted on the membership site every weekday. Discover more information about Parkinsons Recovery membership here: https://www.parkinsonsrecovery.com/parkinsons-recovery

I contend that with a little practice and perseverance, we all can learn to listen to our bodies. When we listen, our bodies tell us what fuel they need.

MY WIFE HAS TRIED A LOT, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO ASSESS THEIR EFFICACY…AT LEAST IN REDUCING PD SYMPTOMS. THERE ARE SO MANY SUPPLEMENTS OUT THERE, IT CAN DRIVE US BATTY!

We have had the same experience with clients we work with. They get a lot better and can revert back to a previous level (not usually to the original level – but there are set backs).

The secret in the long run is not so much taking certain supplements, but the transformation of thoughts that are not in your best and highest good. It you believe, even unconsciously, that your health is  destined to deteriorate, it will.
Transform those negative thoughts and turn around a condition that might be troubling.

I think it is most beneficial to work at the core level of thoughts and to acknowledge how they have a direct impact on symptoms. Think of this as working at the core level – at how certain negative thinking that sustains symptoms. I introduce ways to transform thoughts in my book Five Steps to Recovery which is available on Amazon.

The root barrier to recovery turns out to be certain core thoughts that hang recovery up. Of course, the seed thoughts are usually unconscious which makes releasing them the trick of it all. The true healing comes with embracing restorative statements that resonate with you.
