A pilot study dealing with the vocal matrix frequencies associated with Parkinson’s Disease was recently undertaken with volunteer listeners of Parkinson’s Recovery Radio. The results of the study showed that one particular element of the Dopamine biochemical cascade came forth as the clear pivotal protein for activating Dopamine. Using the math matrix of the voice has been able to show that the harmonics of the voice can determine many levels/layers of causality that conventional medicine has not been able to discern.

Stress and chronic illness are interconnected. Scientists have shown that when the body is chronically stressed it’s unable to properly regulate hormones and the immune system, which results in illness. Stress comes from many sources including physical threats, daily tasks, problems, fatigue, anxiety and illness. Stress has a significant impact on PD patients because it decreases the body’s ability to repair and regenerate as well as worsening PD symptoms, especially tremor. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be highly effective at reducing stress. Hypnotherapist Steve Frison discusses hypnotherapy and how it’s used to reduce symptoms and improve the health and well-being of those with PD.

Jo Rosen, President and Founder of the Parkinsons Resource Organization, is my guest today. "When my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1984, I chalked it up to her growing old. When my husband, Alan, was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1989, I met Parkinson's in completely different ways; concern, despair, overwhelming sadness, curiosity; what to do, how to plan, who to talk to, and a vow to do something. It was February, 1990 that I made my deal with The Universe; namely, if she would teach me everything I needed to know about creating quality of life for my husband and me, I would share it with the world. Voila, the organization, Parkinson’s Resource Organization was born. In this, my 20th Year, I received the gift of introduction to TMJ/TMD (DDS) work within the movement disorder world." Jo Rosen's Parkinsons Resource Organization is the sponsor for the Ultimate Quality of Life Symposium to be held January 15th-16th Indian Wells, California.
