Natural Options to Reverse Parkinsons Symptoms

Ayurvedics as a Parkinsons Treatment

I am french (29 years old) and have problems related to my nervous system, similar to essential tremor but with minor symptoms. I have tremors only sometimes and little ones, but I am scared that it will get worse in the future. In am interested in Ayurvedics as a Parkinsons treatment. 

I am following an Ayurvedic treatment with Doctor Joshi who has clinic in Nagpur (maybe you know) and I think it is good. I saw on the internet about Doctor Paneri in Gujarat in India who claims to have great results with neurological problems.

My question is simple. What you think about his approach. Is it serious?

Response:

One of the interviews in Pioneers of Recovery (www.pioneersofrecovery.com) is with a man Nathan Zakheim, who used Dr. Paneri’s Ayurvedic approach to heal. He is symptom free today. I have some evidence that Ayurvedics as a Parkinsons treatment can be a huge benefit to people.

It takes a huge commitment to pursue this approach. The dietary requirements are very strict. I have known of people who tried the Ayurvedic approach, but abandoned it because of the strict dietary requirements.

I personally believe that the root of many symptoms lies in the gut. Getting your digestive system back on line and fully functional is a key to being able to fully and completely recover. Ayurvedics as a Parkinsons treatment is an excellent approach to accomplish this goal.

Dr. Paneri’s family has treated people with neurological problems for many generations so he is certainly no “fly by night.” Know that there are also many experienced ayurvedic practitioners in the US, Canada and other countries as well.

Blurry Vision

I was diagnosed with Akinetic Parkinsons in July. 2003. I am now having vision problems. I have blurry vision. I have double vision, and I cannot focus. Are these symptoms typical? If so, do you know of anything that I can take to overcome these symptoms. 

I have read that COQ10 is good to take, but it is expensive. I am 69 years old and living on a fixed income. If there is any additional information that you might need, please let me know.

Thank you,

Ruth

I have not heard many reports of blurry vision, so from my research it is not that “typical”. But as one neurologist explained,

If you have seen one person with Parkinson’s, you have seen one person.

That is to say – each person’s situation is unique. It doesn’t really help to compare yourself to anyone else!

As for blurry vision solutions – I pursued a journey to find a natural treatment for eye problems after my uncle experienced series eye problems from cataracts. I found one eye drop in particular which reduces inflammation and cuts down on the free radicals which cause eye difficulties. The research on Can-C is quite impressive. You can read more information about these eye drops by visiting:

https://www.Can-C.me

Will these eye drops help your situation? I obviously do not know. Research studies report
success for none out of ten users.

I do know that they address the problem of inflammation which contributes to many difficulties people have with their eyesight. It is a natural eye drop which has no side effects. You might want to discuss this option with your doctor.

Research does reveal that Coq10 can provide relief from various symptoms associated with Parkinsons Disease.Naturopath doctor Laurie Mischley reported during my radio show interview with her last June that it is important to get a high quality CoQ10. She explains that you are wasting your money if you get low cost CoQ10.

I recommend you check out the Pharmanord CoQ10. They have dozens of research studies
that report it has a significantly higher penetration than any other brand. They offer a 20% discount with coupon code PRQ10WEB.

May you find a solution to your problem soon and begin to see more clearly with each passing day.

Gastroperesis

One item I would like to see addressed is a condition called gastroperesis. I am told I have this condition due to my Parkinson’s. Medication is not possible due to this condition. How prevalent is Gastroperesis and Parkinsons. What about diet, possible other medications? Your input would be appreciated.

One possibility you might explore with your doctors is whether the gastroperesis (which is a partial paralysis of the stomach and inability to digest food) is presently caused by any medications you might be taking. If that is the case, a solution for the problem can been found.

A second possibility is that your digestive system does not welcome food because it is unable to process it. Explore the possibility that your gut does not have sufficient good bacteria needed for digestion. Probiotics may be a solution to consider. I personally think everyone should be taking probiotics.

A third possibility is that the myelin sheaths around the nerves that control your stomach muscles are compromised. Are you getting enough fat in your diet?

A fourth possibility is that there is a deeper meaning behind what is happening to you. Is there something in your life you have simply not been able to digest, perhaps a job or a family member or a friend or an experience which is unpleasant or …? If we look for the deeper meaning behind what our bodies are telling us, we will understand the message our  body is giving us and solve the problem.

A fifth possibility is that there is something you are putting in your body that your body can not tolerate. Perhaps it is allergic to this substance (a food, supplement or medicine) or perhaps the substance is toxic for one reason or another. You might get a little mileage out of investigating more diligently what your are putting into your body.

A sixth possibility is that there is a virus that is jamming up the system. I will be releasing soon discoveries I have made about natural treatments for viruses.

Finally, it might help to disengage the association of Gastroperesis and Parkinsons. Perhaps a focus on the condition might prove useful. You can for example pursue holistic diagnostics that pick up what is happening here.

There is voice analysis and bioenergetic testing and other holistic diagnostic approaches that might provide you with valuable insights into the root cause of the problem. Many holistic diagnostic options that analyze frequencies might offer valuable insights here.

I personally do not get any mileage out of a diagnosis. That is the domain of medical doctors. I am a researcher – not a medical doctor. A diagnosis focuses on what is wrong.

I prefer the perspective that the body can heal from the inside out. Focus on the reality that your digestive system will come back on track once the imbalance has been remedied.

Your body is trying to tell you something. It is actually working perfectly. Just listen to what your body is trying to tell you and you will be able to solve the problem yourself.

Instructions for Making Fava Tincture

Aunt Bean was a guest on my radio show last year.  She invented a tincture which she makes herself from fava beans she grows on her farm in Tennessee. Her tincture has provided her with sustained relief from the symptoms of Parkinsons that she currently experiences.

I have had a flurry of requests from people wanting to know her “secret” tincture recipe. Aunt Bean has now written up the instructions on how to make the tincture yourself.

You certainly cannot buy Aunt Bean’s fava bean tincture at your local health food store. It is not available on the the internet. If you want it you are going to have to grow your own fava beans and make the tincture yourself.

Here is a genuine self help program of recovery at its best: You have to do a little work to help yourself feel better but the payoff is well worth the trouble. Just ask Aunt Bean.

To learn the step by step process (which is really not that cumbersome), visit the Parkinsons Recovery fava bean website. I posted  Aunt Bean’s instructions on how to make the fava bean tincture today.
