Parkinsons Recovery

As a former college athlete, sales executive, and father of two, I thrived on living life to the fullest until a "nervous tick" in my left arm led to a life-changing diagnosis of young onset Parkinson's Disease in 2016 at age 42. The tick developed into a severe tremor affecting my left side, causing constant pain, embarrassment, and a sharp decline in my quality of life. I struggled with daily activities and business meetings, and intense situations like coaching my son’s basketball games became nearly unbearable. In 2020, I discovered a clinical trial for Focused Ultrasound, a promising new tremor treatment. Thanks to a supportive employer and a dedicated medical team at the University of Pennsylvania, I underwent this transformative therapy in June 2022. On June 9, 2022, I traveled to the University of Pennsylvania filled with hope but anxious about the procedure. During the MRI, I experienced intense physical and emotional strain. However, after the third sonication, I felt my tremors cease and my musc

Below are the questions I asked Jaroslov Boublik PhD, one of the researchers who formulated the Aquas, about hydrating the body. Why can’t we become better hydrated by simply drinking more water?Why do we become more dehydrated as we age?Why is a well hydrated body essential to eliminating toxins from the body?How do the following affect hydration? SaltEnergy DrinksCoffeeAlcoholMilkWhat are the symptoms of dehydration?Do structured water products facilitate better hydration?Does good hydration help alleviate symptoms of diseases?Does good hydration improve: Mental clarity?

Alice A. Holstein, Ed.D was diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder at the age of 51, which interrupted her career and produced some 12 years of intense suffering with many manic episodes, many hospitalizations, thousands of dollars spent and overall, a bleak prognosis of recovery.  She lives now, as an elder, with a full if careful life of extraordinary wellness despite still being on medication. She has a dramatic story to share about how she developed a revolutionary understanding of mental health recovery which she believes can be at least partially related to recovery with Parkinsons. In her presentation she will explain this potential correlation by first enumerating the comparisons, such as that she too was given a bleak prognosis and told that heavy medication was required. She also understands that Parkinson’s can often produce depression in those who suffer. Her thoughts can help people specifically deal with that diagnosis. Alice believes that illness in general should be treated as a whole person ap

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 functionality. Vielight’s patented intranasal stimulation technology and microchip LED technology is an innovative tool for brain photobiomodulation developed by Vielight. My guest today is Vielight's CEO Dr. Lew Lim. 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.    Vagus Neuro Duo The Vielight Neuro Duo is is the result of years of engineering and research. Clinical research with our technology has produced improvements in cognition, memory and blood flow. The Vielight Neuro Duo comes with both Alpha and Gamma modes. Gamma (40Hz): focus, memory, brai

Retired Australian Naturopath and parkinson’s sufferer, Ian Ridgeway will be explaining an unusual and unique therapy that regenerates stem cells using skin patches. When applied to the skin, they use the body's own heat to stimulate certain salts and sugars in nano particle size to reflect very specific light frequencies which then stimulates functions in cells. This is a form of phototherapy, or photobiomodulation. His latest patches stimulates an enzyme called Copper Peptide which activates our dormant stem cells. By the time you reach the age of 60yrs old, 60 – 90% of your stem cells are dormant. Inventor and founder and CEO of the company who sell them has put the technology into a small, affordable easy to use patch that you just place on your skin! David has around 80 patents on the technology and a similar amount of clinical studies using them. He even has worked out a way you can pay for and even make make money sharing with others. Ian, who was was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2019, reports that, S

Dr. Christian Hageseth is an 82-year-old retired psychiatrist. His first symptoms of PD started 18 years ago, yet he only started taking L-Dopa 2 ½ years ago. He credits his success in slowing PD—almost to a halt—to his attitude, exercise, and practicing yoga. He directed his local PD support group from 2012 to 2019. During that time, the numbers of attendees went from thirteen to more than one hundred every month.  Today he feels it is critically important for PWPs to avoid spending their time looking for for the next new drug to show up. Instead, he says to live life to its fullest. He reminds us that PD does not appreciably shorten the life span of PWPs. And he also reminds us that medications such as L-dopa do not increase longevity. He has always viewed PD as a challenge, not a curse. 

Martha will bring us up to date on the latest Parkinson's Microbiome findings and research and help connect the dots to our environment and increasingly processed and toxic food systems with idea on how to build a healthy microbiome to improve the symptoms of Parkinson's.  She will discuss environmental toxins, diet/nutrition, stress management and exercise as ways to impact the course of your disease and how to build your own health timeline to understand what may be impacting the course of your illness and how to change the trajectory.   Probiotics website: https://biotiquest.com Martha Carlin's My Parkinson's blog https://www.marthasquest.com Website for the Australian distributor: https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au Robert Rodgers PhD Founder 2004 Parkinsons Recovery
