Parkinsons Recovery

Are you taking all the best medicines and supplements for your symptoms and even doing the exercise recommended by the experts but are not seeing a reversal of your symptoms? I have a good guess for you about why. You are dehydrated.  Simply put, your body cannot take in the nutrients nor discharge the toxins if there is not enough water in the cells of your body.  When you your doctor answers the question: "what can I do to feel better?" by saying - "Drink more water" do not laugh. Your doctor is right. Taking the time today to listen to my radio show today will be well worth your time if it simply encourages you to drink more water.  My show presents an interview with my guest Jaroslov Boublik, PhD who in my book of experts is the international expert on water and hydration. Dr. Boublik answers such questions as: Why do we get dehydrated as we age?Why is hydration so important to elminate toxins? If I add such substances to my diet such as - salt, energy drinks, coffee, tea, alcohol, colas, milk - will

A wide variety of conditions and factors are known to cause the symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. What is the primary cause in your case? Once a cause has been found, resources can focus on getting the treatments that can heal the cause. This is far more efficient and (I might add) far more interesting than suppressing symptoms for the rest of your life.   Most people believe that the cause can only be detected by a trained professional who must analyze results of expensive and invasive laboratory tests. Admittedly, this is the preferred approach for most people. There is another way.  Instead of assuming someone else has the expertise to figure out what is causing your symptoms, why not put your own detective hat on? It is possible to figure out what is causing your symptoms yourself.  How? The body gives us all the information we need to find the cause. The physical origin of the presenting symptom initially is a key clue in the discovery of the cause (or causes). Important information is als

Walter Mady, retired Physical Therapist and Exercise Specialist of thirty years, is my guest on the radio show today. Walter was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease in 2008. He currently treats his symptoms using a combination of eastern and western approaches including exercise, ayurvedic medicine, Qigong and medications. 

It has been ten years now since I launched my research program to discover the factors that cause Parkinson's disease and the therapies that provide the opportunity to reverse them. Yes, I have succeeded in identifying the many factors that cause the symptoms. And yes, I have succeeded in identifying a surprising number of therapies that help reverse those symptoms.  Many people have success with reversing some of their symptoms, but other symptoms linger. The questions that have haunted me have been: "Why do more people not succeed in reversing all of their symptoms"? "Since the body really does know to heal itself, why are so many people still having problems?" I have documented the stories of some people who have succeeded in becoming symptom free but why - I have wondered to myself - aren't there thousands and thousands of people who have also become symptom free by now? After a decade of research, I finally figured out the answer to these most curious questions. It is not an answer I had expected to en

What does it really take for recovery from Parkinson's to happen for you? There is no doubt but that the treatment of Parkinson;s symptoms helps many people. The limitation of this approach of course is that there is no end to the treatment. When treatments are focused on symptoms only, they must continue day in and day out. Why? The cause of symptoms has not be addressed. An alternative approach is to set the intention to find the cause of the Parkinson's symptoms. Once the cause (or causes) have been identified they can be treated and healed. Even when the cause has been identified, what is really necessary to heal from the neurological symptoms of Parkinson's disease?  I discuss the four foundations of healing Parkinsons from the inside-out in the show today. Many people falsely believe it is not possible to reverse the symptoms of Parkinson's. My research reveals that there are many paths to recovery that people take to reverse their symptoms.   I preview the 2015 Jump Start to Recovery Alderbrook Prog

I think the best gift you can give to someone else is free. Listen in for several ideas on fantastic presents that are not only free but presents that make a huge difference in the life of a person who currently experiences Parkinson's symptoms. For the past decade, Parkinsons Recovery has developed a series of products in the form of books, CDs and DVDs that address ways that have helped people reverse Parkinson's symptoms. Books include Road to Recovery from Parkinson's Disease, Seven Secrets to Healing and dozens of other books that cover a wide variety of approaches to natural healing for Parkinson's. Vibroacoustic Therapy has also received rave reviews from people with Parkinsons.   In addition, a wide variety of support services are also available. Many are free including archives of this radio show, Sunday Connections and Symptoms Tracker. A new internet based Jump Start to Recovery program is being offered January 2015 as are individual consultations. 

Kris Warren, a documentary filmmaker, is producing an exciting new film about how clinical Music Therapy and Neurologic Music Therapy are being used as options for treating symptoms of Parkinson's Disease and many other populations. He is also a music artist who discovered Music Therapy recently in August 2013. Kris wrote a song about how music is his therapy not knowing that Music Therapy is a viable and effective treatment option. Since that moment, he went on a journey throughout the USA interviewing experts on Music Therapy and Neurologic Music Therapy for the upcoming documentary titled Music Is My Therapy: MusicTherapyDocumentary.Com.  Funds are also currently being raised on Kickstarter to film internationally. www.musictherapydocumentary.com  Kris is joined byProfessor Michael Thautfrom Colorado State University. Dr. Thaut's internationally recognized research focuses on brain function in music, especially time information processing in the brain related to rhythmicity and biomedical applications of

Dr. Ivy Faber, ND, previews a holistic method for assessing imbalances in the body known as bioenergetic testing. The method has been in existence for over four decades. If you have been wondering what in the world is really wrong with you, this assessment offers rich insights into the imbalances in the body that are causing the symptoms that are currently experienced. I have received eight bioenergetic assessments from Dr. Faber over the past decade which have been instrumental in helping to detox. Need ongoing guidance and support for your journey down the road to recovery?  It is available in January: www.jumpstart.parkinsonsrecovery.com 

  Everyone want s to see symptoms reversed now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Now. The model we have been taught to believe in is the following: Make an appointment with the doctor. Get a prescription for medicine or surgery.Celebrate a reversal of symptoms.  The focus is on a treatment of symptoms, not on exploring the possible cause (or causes) of symptoms. We should all be thankful that the option of treating symptoms is available for Parkinson's Disease. It has helped many people. Not everyone benefits however. Some people experience little or no relief from taking medications for Parkinson's or pursuing surgery.   On this show I disuss the choice between treating symptoms and exploring the cause of Parkinson's symptoms. Which is the better choice? It depends of course. Listen to my show to know why. I also answer questions submitted by listeners.   Robert Rodgers, PhD Parkinsons Recovery Seven Secrets to Healing Chronic Illness Road to Recovery from Parkinson's Disease  

9 Reasons to Use Coconut Oil DAILY (3 of them are shocking) http://7points.altdailyv.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=c101&tid=coconut Can Parkinson’s disease be prevented or even reversed? Current medical treatments have been able to ease the symptoms, but none can even come close to being called a cure. While a complete cure may not be available at this time, there is a treatment that can slow down, stop, and even reverse many of the symptoms of the disease. This new treatment doesn’t rely on drugs, surgery, or any medical treatment. It is based on diet. The key element of this diet is coconut—more specifically, coconut oil. A coconut oil based diet has proven to be highly effective in stopping and reversing a number of neurodegenerative conditions including epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s. My special guest is naturopath doctor Bruce Fife, N.D, author of Stop Alzheimer's Now!: How to Prevent & Reverse Dementia, Parkinson's, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis & Other Neurodegenerative Disorders. Dr. Fi

Glen Pettibone started developing Parkinson's Disease symptoms in 2008. In 2011 he was diagnosed.  It was going fast and he could not tolerate most of the drugs.  In January of 2013 when off meds due to food poisoning, he shook so bad he could not walk. He was taking very high doses and at the "end of the algorithm".  His doctors were suggesting Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. He did not like the high risk and marginal results he saw regarding the surgery So, he drew upon his scientific and engineering background and started reading every paper he could find. He developed a diet combining Solanaceous vegetables, featuring eggplant juice, green tomatoes, and peppers with perhaps every other suggested dietary element and suggested supplement already discussed in the Parkinson's community.   Also other nutrient dense foods. Dr. Mischley's book was inspirational and helpful to him. He added more elements.  He has been under her care for 6 months or so.  She added intranasal glutathione which has helped.
