Parkinsons Recovery

Dr. Stasha Gominak MD received her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her Neurology residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. From 2004 to 2016 she had a busy general neurology practice where she became fascinated with issues connected with sleep disorders. She published several pivotal articles about the global struggle with worsening sleep. Since 2016 she has divided her time between teaching the public about sleep and teaching clinicians the RightSleep© method of sleep repair.      

Research on pulsed electromagnetic field therapy reports a series of positive outcomes including modulation of inflammation, reduction of discomfort, promotion of tissue repair and regeneration, improvement of cardiac functions, reduction of fatigue, acceleration of recovery from accidents and support of detoxification. These positive outcomes might clearly have a positive benefit for persons diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A German technology known as the Bemer is now in widespread use in Europe but is little known as a therapy in the United States and Canada. My guests today - Natural Pharmacist Ross Pelton and Randy Hood, answer questions about the history, use and research behind the Bemer as a type of pusled electromagnetic field therapy currently available in some countries.   For more information visit: http://robert-rodgers.bemergroup.com/en-US Financing is available that spreads payments over 6,12 or 24 months making purchases of the BEMER PRO affordable. For additional information, orders and

Many people hold the belief near and dear to their heart that Parkinson's disease is "degenerative." Is this really true? Has anyone out there actually reversed their symptoms and if they have, how did they do it? The radio show today answers these questions. First, I report results of a holiday survey which asks persons diagnosed with Parkinson's disease whether they were better, the same or worse now when compared to the holiday season a year ago.As you will discover by listening to a detailed discussed of the results, a vast majority of respondents reported they were better or the same relative to one year ago. In other words, the first answer to the question is no. Parkinson's is not "degenerative" for many people. OK. What did people do to get better? I report and  discuss each answer to the second question in the survey: What therapies were helping? You will be excited to learn that there are dozens of therapies that are making a big difference for people currently experiencing the symptoms of Parkins

Marty Hinz MD, known internationally for developing an amino acid protocol, will address the following questions during the program today: :  What is the primary cause of Parkinson’s disease?What the most effective Parkinson’s disease treatment?What is carbidopa?Why is carbidopa used?How does carbidopa deplete vitamin B6?What happens when vitamin B6 depletes?  

I have been searching for therapies that can offer people relief from symptoms of Parkinson's disease for 12 marvelous years, but have never been so enthused about two new therapies that have just been available in 2017. One is light (or photobiomodulation) therapy. The other is a new ketone ester. For further information about photobiomodulation therapy, visit:  https://www.blog.parkinsonsrecovery.com/photobiomodulation-therapy For information about the new Ketone ester, visit: https://ketoneaid.com/pr. When the show first aired, a website address was announced to pre-order the new ketone ester as it is currently in a production phase Due to an extremely high demand, the opportunity to pre-order the ester is no longer officially open. However, the CEO of KetoneAid.com, Frank Llosa, has generously agreed to allow members of the Parkinsons Recovery community to pre-order a supply which will likely be available for shipment in March, 2018.  You can pre-order by emailing Frank directly: Frank@ketoneaid.com.

Mr. Curtis developed Parkinson’s symptoms at the age of 45 in the year 2000. He  discusses his experience with ketones and other therapies today.   Trainer Bottles of the Ketone Ester available at: https://www.ketoneaid.com/pr Have questions? Email Frank at: frank@ketonaid.com

Dr. Jennifer Kessmann speaks on Functional Medicine, an approach to medicine that has been around for a number of years. It began with Dr. Jeffery Bland's motivation to look at medicine in a different way.   Now the field of Functional Medicine is ever expanding and a center at the Cleveland Clinic  has opened its doors for care.  It is becoming more widely accepted and parts of functional medicine have been integrated into a wide variety of disiplines in medicine.  

My guest today is Warren Kramer who is an internationally recognized macrobiotic counselor, educator and cooking instructor. For the past 30 years, he has studied and lived the macrobiotic way of life. Warren teaches the macrobiotic approach to health and wellness, including principles of food selection and preparation, exercise, work and personal relationships. Thousands of people throughout the world have transformed their health through the application of macrobiotic principles.  Macrobiotics is an orderly approach to diet and lifestyle.   Warren will discuss what exactly is macrobiotic practice and why it is so powerful in improving one's health.  The second part of the interview will specifically cover how to tailor the macrobiotic approach to address Parkinson's disease.  Warren will discuss what foods are best to avoid and to incorporate as well as natural home remedies and lifestyle factors to consider using.. www.macrobioticsnewengland.com

Dr Gair will be sharing the exciting new studies that show how cold laser therapy can be beneficial for patients with Parkinson's in various stages of the disease. Cold laser, also known as "photobiomodulation", is beneficial by stimulating improved function of the mitochondria, stimulating neuronal stem cells, increased ATP production, increasing brain derived neurotrophic factor, dampening inflammation, promoting nitric oxide and glutathione production, modulating immune activity, and slowing the progression of the disease. The best thing about this therapy is that when the appropriate laser is used there are virtually zero side effects, and it can be part of a program of functional neurological rehabilitation under the care of a trained professional or can also be done at home by the patient on a regular basis. This therapy can also be used preventively in patients with a genetic predisposition for the disease as well. The device, XLR8, uses two laser diodes and was developed by Erchonia, a leader in deve

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 function. Vielight’s patented intranasal stimulation technology and microchip LED technology is an innovative tool for brain photobiomodulation invented by Dr. Lew Lim, my guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio today. 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.    A 2015 study using subjects with dementia found there was significant improvement after 12 weeks of use involving increased function, better sleep, fewer angry outbursts and less anxiety. These encouraging results have been followed by a series of ongoing studies. The company, Vielight, has gene

Tom House, PhD, is a former major league pitcher and currently the throwing coach to dozens of MLB pitchers and NFL quarterback, including Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan. Diagnosed with Parkinson's about five years ago, Tom brings all his experience as an athlete, coach, and sports physiology researcher to a daily program for Parkinson's patients. The most important thing to Tom? Daily exercise. The name of his program? "Just Do Something Every Day." www.justdosomethingeveryday.com Just Do Something Every Day combines the FocusBand wearable brain frequency measuring device with a mobile app, creating a neuro-physiological daily exercise program. It's well known that exercise is one of the best medicines for Parkinson's. Exercise allows the remaining dopamine in the brain to be used more effectively, leading to longer "on times." Neurofeedback allows the user to "train" the brain to be in a better state during exercise, making the exercise more effective. More effective exercise means better results, creat

Fine Art Photographer Alan Babbitt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003 with a nasty hand tremor – just what a STILL photographer needs! After struggling to compensate for the shakiness, he had an epiphany. He realized he could use the tremor (and other movements) as an art technique – leading to a large body of work he calls “Un-Still Photography: The Art of Motion Within a Still.”  “But what really got shook up was me,” Babbitt continues. “Turning my tremor into something useful was an incredibly empowering game changer - boosting my confidence, mood and energy. It freed me up and allowed me to reach new levels of creative expression. But best of all, the fun and joy of photography came back. All thanks to that pesky Parkinson’s tremor! Is that weird or what? The damn disease has given me a terrific gift!” See Alan’s Un-Still Photography at http://www.abproductions.com

My guest today is Dr. Donald Rhodes MD who I had the pleasure of interviewing every day for a week in his Houston Texas clinic. This interview presents several key segments of these interviews. Dr. Rhodes is the inventor of VECTTOR treatments, a gentle form of electrostimulation designed to stimulate nerves to augment the production of certain essential nerve chemicals throughout the body. The end goal of his therapy is to infuse cells that have been starved of oxygen.  VECTTOR treatments are painless, noninvasive, and are showing encouraging results in diseases exacerbated by oxidative stress. People experiencing the symptoms of Parkinsons Disease have reported positive results from giving themselves Vecttor treatments on a daily basis. The basis of this therapy stems from the science of acupuncture, reflexology, physiology, and cellular physiology. Dr. Rhodes is a former foot and ankle surgeon, has spent his career studying the effects of electrostimulation on the body. He has successfully treated pati

Looking for therapies that are free to do and result in much desired benefits. Here it is!    What Doesn’t Kill Us by author Scott Carney traces our evolutionary journey back to a time when survival depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us. Our ancestors crossed the Alps in animal skins and colonized the New World in loin cloths, seemingly impervious to the elements. Modern humans have lost their biological link to the environment. Now we hate the cold. We suffer from auto-immune diseases. Many of us are chronically over weight. What Doesn’t Kill Us uncovers how just about anyone can reclaim our species’ evolutionary strength by reimagining how our bodies fit into the world and then slowly conditioning ourselves to unfamiliar environments. Scott will share the stories he has included in his new book of individuals who currently experience symptoms of Parkinson‘s disease.  Scott's Website: www.scottcarney.com
