People who celebrate a successful recovery learn how to maintain the rest and digest state of the parasympathetic nervous system. New research on the Vielight Vagus device finds a one session use of the Vielgiht Vagus device sinks the body into that delicious state of calm and relaxation.
Anxiety is the fuel that sustains symptoms of Parkinsons. A central way to reduce anxiety is to gently stimulate the vagus nerve.
This is precisely what the Vielight Vagus Nerve device accomplishes.
An overview of a Vielight Vagus nerve study provides sound support for use of the device by persons who confronted continuous, persistent anxiety that continues to fuel symptoms. Cost of the device is reasonable. Use the coupon code healing4me to claim a 10% discount.
Summary of New Research on the Vielight Vagus Device
The study asked the following question: what does a single session of the Vielight Vagus do to the brain’s own resting rhythms?
Using continuous EEG across one 20-minute session, researchers tracked the brain’s “microstates,” the fraction-of-a-second patterns that reveal moment-to-moment brain state. The recording showed a clean, internally consistent shift.
The pattern tied to outward, vigilant attention receded, while patterns associated with more inward, self referential processing grew. Notably, this convergence points in one coherent direction.
The shift is exactly what a device built around parasympathetic, “rest and digest” activation would predict: a move toward a calmer, more inwardly-directed brain state.
Summary: The Vagus was engineered to enhance brain-body connectivityand improve the brain-gut connection.
Vagus nerve stimulation also promotes healthy HRV and stress relief, leading to enhanced mental and physiological recovery.
What in the world is the connection between betalains and Parkinsons and furthermore, what are betalains health benefits for inflammation relief? Is this some type of new medicine coming out on the market?
Answer: No. This is not a prescription medicine with side effects. This natural option is inspired by – of all people – Hippocrates who said: “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine by your food.” Betalains are an extract from beets.
Betalains are the red-violet and yellow pigments that are naturally found in beets and a few other foods. How might this extract from beets offer benefits for persons diagnosed with Parkinsons? Consider this impressive list. Betalains health benefits include …
Reduce the biomarkers of inflammation
Fight fatigue
Increase energy
Support mental alertness
Detox the liver
Fight free radicals
Purified betalains have been clinically shown to reduce inflammation by 47% and boost energy by more than 100$.
I have two sources of additional information about betalains health benefits for inflammation. First, an interview with Kari Skinner. Click on the zoom replay link below to watch my interview with her.
Second, studies are posted below that tout the advantages of taking betatains as a treatment for symptoms of Parkinsons. There is clearly increasing interest the value of food and in particular Betalains as a natural treatment for Parkinsons symptoms.
Betalains Research
Note on the reference to Betanins below. Betalains are the entire class of pigments. Betanin is one specific pigment molecule within this class.
Plants (Basel). 2025 Mar 21;14(7):994. The Neuroprotective Potential of Betalains: A Focused Review
Abstract
Betalains are natural, hydrophilic pigments present in a variety of plants from the order Caryophyllales, extensively used as antioxidants. In recent decades, betalains have been intensively researched, with numerous studies confirming their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antinociceptive properties.
More recently, due to a significant increase in the aging population worldwide, there has been growing interest in the study of preventive effects of betalains on age-related, degenerative brain diseases.
The aim of this review is to evaluate the potential neuroprotective role of betalains in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, as well as other types of neurodegenerative and ischemic brain injuries. Preclinical in vivo and in vitro pharmacological studies investigating the neuroprotective effects of betalains are reviewed, with a focus on the putative mechanisms of action. Available studies in humans are also presented.

Metab Brain Dis. 2023 Mar;38(3):805-817. Traversing through the cell signaling pathways of neuroprotection by betanin: therapeutic relevance to Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease
Abstract
Modulation of cell signaling pathways is the key area of research towards the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Cell signaling pathways are considered to play major role in the etiology and pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Strikingly, betanin is reported to show commendable anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects in several disease studies including Alzheimers and Parkinsons.
The present review discusses the pre-clinical studies demonstrating the neuroprotective effects of betanin by virtue of its potential to ameliorate oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, abnormal protein aggregation and cell death. It highlights the direct linkage between the neuroprotective abilities of betanin and upregulation of signaling pathways.

Int J Mol Sci. 2025 Oct 6;26(19):9726. Neuroprotective Effects of Betanin in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease: Behavioural and Neurotransmitter Pathway Insights
Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of betanin-a bioactive, natural pigment found in beetroot and prickly pear-on cognitive function, motor performance, and neurotransmission in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease.
Aged mice with Parkinsons like symptoms were pretreated with betanin (50 or 100 mg/kg b.w./day) via drinking water. Behavioural tests assessed motor skills, anxiety-related behaviour, and spatial memory. Biochemical analyses of central nervous system structures were conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography to determine neurotransmitter levels and metabolites.
Betanin improved motor and cognitive functions in treated mice. While learning ability remained unchanged, the 50 mg/kg dose alleviated spatial memory deficits. Biochemically, betanin moderately limited dopamine depletion and significantly influenced dopamine metabolism and serotonin levels. These findings suggest that betanin, as a functional food component, may exert neuroprotective effects and support cognitive and motor function in neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinsons.

Beta vulgaris: The plant (beetroot/sugar beet).
Betalains: The natural pigments (found inside the beet)
Indian J Pharmacol. 2015 Jul-Aug;47(4):403-8. Neuroprotective potential of Beta vulgaris L. in Parkinson’s disease
Abstract
Objective: The objective was to investigate the neuroprotective role of Beta vulgaris in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Materials and methods: PD was induced by administration of reserpine (5 mg/kg/day, i.p for 5 consecutive days), haloperidol (1 mg/kg, i.p.), and tacrine (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.) in experimental animals. The symptoms of PD such as tremors, akinesia, rigidity, catalepsy, and vacuous chewing movements (VCMs) were evaluated. Foot shock-induced aggression (FSIA) model was used to confirm anti-parkinsonian activity. The methanolic extract of Beta vulgaris (MEBV) was administered at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg, p.o. The combination of L-dopa and carbidopa was used as a standard drug. Behavioral studies such as locomotor activity and grip strength were determined, and oxidative stress was evaluated in FSIA model in rat brain.
Results: Pretreatment with MEBV (200 and 300 mg/kg) significantly reduced the intensity of muscular rigidity, duration of catalepsy, akinesia, the number of tremors, VCMs, and increase fighting behavior. The locomotor activity and grip strength were significantly increased by MEBV. In FSIA, the biochemical analysis of brain revealed the increased level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and decreased levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). MEBV significantly reduced LPO level and restored the defensive antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT in rat brain.
Conclusions: The results indicated the protective role of B. vulgaris against PD.
Vitamin D3 recommendation as treatment for Parkinsons is reported in two recent studies. Abstracts are posted below.
These recent studies find that vitamin D3 plays a the pivotal role in preventing – as well as treating – symptoms associated with Parkinsons. Sunshine is a primary source of Vitamin D3, so bathing in the sun is therapeutic. Supplementation is an alternative treatment during the dreary winter months.
While there are dozens of recommendations of supplements that help offer relief from symptoms of Parkinsons, consider placing D3 at the top of your list of vitamins researchers now recommend.
Studies that Document a Relationship between D3 and Parkinsons
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2026:1493:51-67. Vitamin D and Brain Health
Abstract
Vitamin D is widely known for its influence on the homeostasis of calcium and phosphate levels in the body and its involvement in maintaining musculoskeletal health. This vitamin has immunomodulatory effects on both the innate and adaptive immune systems. The active form of vitamin D plays a neuroprotective role in the central nervous system, highlighting its importance in maintaining brain health.
Studies have noted the role of vitamin D in the formation of antioxidants, reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, lowering of oxidative stress, improvement of mitochondrial respiratory health, and slowing of the progression of neuronal damage.
This vitamin may also influence development by facilitating the differentiation of cells, the expression of neurotrophic factors, the regulation of cytokines, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, intracellular calcium signaling, and the expression of genes involved in neuronal differentiation.
An association has been noted between vitamin D deficiency and the risk of developing several neuronal diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, headaches, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. The neuroprotective role of vitamin D suggests the potential benefit of vitamin supplementation in slowing the progression of such conditions and promoting brain health.

Curr Pharm Des. 2024;30(5):323-332. Vitamin D as a Modulator of Neuroinflammation: Implications for Brain Health
Abstract
Neuroinflammation represents a critical immune response within the brain, playing a pivotal role in defense against injury and infection. However, when this response becomes chronic, it can contribute to the development of various neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
This bibliographic review delves into the role of vitamin D in modulating neuroinflammation and its implications for brain health, particularly in the context of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
While vitamin D is traditionally associated with calcium homeostasis and bone health, it also exerts immunomodulatory and neuroprotective effects within the central nervous system. Through comprehensive analysis of preclinical and clinical studies, we uncover how vitamin D, acting through its receptors in glial cells, may influence the production of proinflammatory cytokines and antioxidants, potentially mitigating the cascade of events leading to neuronal damage.
Clinical research has identified vitamin D deficiency as a common thread in the increased risks of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and depression, among others. Furthermore, preclinical models suggest vitamin D’s regulatory capacity over inflammatory mediators, its protective role against neuronal apoptosis, and its contribution to neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.
These insights underscore the potential of vitamin D supplementation not only in slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases but also in improving the quality of life for patients suffering from psychiatric conditions.
Neuroinflammation is a crucial immune response in the brain against injuries or infections, but its persistence can lead to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and depression. Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) emerges as a regulator of neuroinflammation, present in brain cells such as astrocytes and microglia, modulating immune function. Vitamin D’s mechanisms of action include cytokine modulation and regulation of nuclear and mitochondrial genes. It adjusts inflammatory mediators and antioxidants, resulting in neuroprotective effects.
Additionally, vitamin D impacts neurotransmitter synthesis and brain plasticity. This positions vitamin D as a potential adjunct in treating diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Lastly, its role in intestinal microbiota and serotonin synthesis contributes to psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and depression. Thus, vitamin D presents a novel therapeutic approach for neuroinflammatory, neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric diseases.
Research has pinpointed over 120 natural treatment options to reverse Parkinsons symptoms. There are so many possibilities. Which ones will offer you the opportunity to celebrate relief from your symptoms?
Two fundamental choices are available for persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The most popular choice is to suppress symptoms with medications or supplements. These options enable you to celebrate temporary relief from problematic symptoms.
The choice to suppress symptoms makes perfect sense to me. Most individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease are desperate to have relief from symptoms even if temporary. If we are in pain, we want a simple result to end the pain now. None of us really care what has to happen to make this possible
This less preferred option is to embrace natural therapies that address the underlying cause of symptoms. This is not the preferred choice for most people.
Natural Therapies to Support the Ability of the Body to Heal
The second choice is to embrace natural therapies designed to support healing from the inside out. These options do not usually offer temporary relief from symptoms. The frustrating side of the second option is that you may feel much worse physically in the short run.
If the accumulation of toxins are influencing symptoms, the side effects of detox protocols make you fee worse in the short turn. Side effects of detoxing are unpleasant to be sure: headaches, fatigue, depression, etc. The goal to feel better can take months
The unwanted effects of detoxing and releasing the traumas embedded at the cellular level can all be roadblocks to recovery, but what is the major obstacle to recovery from Parkinsons? My answer will likely surprise you. The major obstacle to recovery from Parkinsons is to abandon a program of recovery too soon.
When the body has activated authentic healing it is rare to feel better. You will likely feel worse. Why? The release of toxins and traumas are not “feel good” experiences. When the body is detoxing, you will most likely feel tired, unmotivated and even depressed. A successful journey down the road to recovery is rocky with jumps and starts along the way.
Authentic healing requires a heavy dose of patience and persistence. Once you decide on a therapy to embrace and are convinced it will help, please give it a chance to manifest.
It is not uncommon for people who choose the option of healing from the inside out to make a valiant effort, but give up. The urge to get quick relief from the symptoms becomes the priority. But in many cases, if toxins and/or trauma are not acknowledged and addressed as causes, symptoms will persist.
How about considering both options to be viable? Find ways to suppress symptoms temporarily while you also engage an effort to find the cause of your symptoms and address them.
I have a recommendation for you to consider that you may well think is outrageous. I admit it. It is outrageous. Forget about your diagnosis.If you follow my recommendation, you will be surprised and pleased with the result.
My suggestion – which costs nothing by the way – is to forget about the fact you have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimers or some other chronic condition. My recommendation obviously needs an explanation which I offer by way of explaining why some people recover from cancer and others do not.
Cancer Survivors
People who are more likely to recover from cancer have one trait in common. They forget about the fact they have been diagnosed with cancer. They focus their energy on making the changes in their life that are necessary to help their body heal.
They devote time and energy eating nutritious food, exercising every day and living their life to the fullest. They embrace their passions, especially those they have neglected.
People who do not recover from cancer focus their energy on the cancer itself.
They focus their thoughts and attention to where the cancer is believed to be located in their body.
They consider over and over again the methods that must be used to kill the cancer.
They spend their time in hospitals and clinics receiving invasive treatments.
They become intimately acquainted with the technical terminology used by medical doctors. In just a few weeks they sound like doctors.
When I just used the word “cancer” – did you feel a tinge of fear crawl up your spine? (I felt it!) Did you perhaps think to yourself …
Oh my! Having Parkinsons is enough for anyone. Is it possible I have cancer too?
Just reading about cancer is traumatic for people. Guess what? We all have cancer cells in our body. Cancer cells are everywhere – in our toes and in our head. No one is exempt.
Most people give their cancer cells get far too much attention. It is this intense attention and fear that feeds and nourishes the cancer to grow rapidly and thrive. The intensity of the attention gives the cancer cells infusions of energy to multiply.
Who Recovers from Parkinsons?
Permit me now to apply the same ideas about cancer to Parkinsons. Did you go into fear like many others when your medical professional diagnosed you with “Parkinson’s disease”?
Your doctor has to make a diagnosis else they cannot prescribe medications.
I say :Forget about it.
Drain the entire experience of being told you have this “disease” town the toilet. I predict you will be much happier.
You will have more enthusiasm.
You will have more time to focus attention on taking the positive steps needed to reverse your symptoms.
You will enjoy spending more time with your family. You will regenerate a love of living life to the fullest.
Let the doctors and researchers agonize over a diagnosis. Let them worry which treatments to recommend for “Parkinson’s Disease.” That happens to be the work that they have chosen. Acknowledge that it is the job of medical doctors and researchers to sort through these issues. You are not being paid a handsome salary to think these thoughts. They are.
Centering your moment to moment thoughts on the fact you have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s need not dominate or ruin your life. Any diagnosis – yours included – is simply the opinion of one individual anyway. There is no definitive way for medical professionals to diagnose Parkinsons.
My research reveals that you may well not have what is diagnosed as classic “Parkinson’s disease.” You have something else. Why get depressed over a disease state you may have never have had anyway? Many people discover that second opinions offer differ from the first. Why get depressed about a diagnosis that may be dead wrong?
When you forget about it, you no longer have to think about whether a “cure” will be found in your lifetime. Right? It does not matter a flip.
Let the doctors and researchers worry about finding a cure. Again, that is their job. Your job is to get well.
You are not being paid to think about a cure – so why bother? It just clutters up your mind with thoughts that you can do nothing about.
I believe when you forget about it, you have the opportunity to become more mindful of all the signals your body is sending to you moment to moment. Symptoms no longer have an overarching label of a static “disease.” They are simply discrete messages that your body sends to you moment to moment that change is required of some type for symptoms to resolve. Instead of trying to suppress the symptoms, why not listen to them? Allow your body is talk to you.
Perhaps you simply need to drink more water.
Perhaps you simply need to breathe more deeply.
Perhaps you need to stop using a cell phone.
Perhaps you need to stop eating sugar.
Perhaps you need more exercise.
Perhaps …
If you insist on attaching yourself to the proposition you have Parkinson’s disease, you are much more likely to wait around for a “cure” than to realize that in the moment, all you may need to do to feel better is to drink water, breath more deeply and exercise and …
Focusing on a disease – Parkinson’s in this case – generates negative thoughts. It activates and sustains depression. Focusing on your passions opens endless possibilities of exploration and experimentation.
Want to live a happier life despite whatever symptoms you currently experience?
Want to reverse depression?
Want to have more energy to live your life to the fullest?
Certainly there are many ways to accomplish these goals. One of the smartest and might I add cheapest ways is to simply just to forget you have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Let your doctor worry about a cure. Get on with the business of healing and pursuing your passions.
Below is an abstract from a study that examined the usefulness of memory training for 76 individuals currently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease:
Parkinsonism Relat Disord. 2020 Mar;72:13-22. doi: 10.1016. Effects of working memory training in patients with Parkinson’s disease without cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial. Anja Ophey , Kathrin Giehl , Sarah Rehberg , Carsten Eggers , Paul Reker , Thilo van Eimeren , Elke Kalbe
Objective: To determine the feasibility and evaluate effects of a computerized working memory (WM) training (WMT) in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) on cognitive and clinical outcomes.
Methods: 76 patients with PD without cognitive impairment were randomized to either the WMT group (n = 37), who participated in a 5-week adaptive WMT, or a passive waiting-list control group (CG, n = 39). Patients underwent clinical and neuropsychological examination at baseline, after training, and at 3-months follow-up, with verbal WM and non-verbal WM as primary outcomes. Outcome assessors were blinded for group allocation.
Results: All WMT participants completed the training successfully and reported high levels of motivation for and satisfaction with the training. Repeated-measures, linear mixed-effects models revealed positive training effects for the WMT group compared to the CG in verbal working memory with a small relative effect size 0.39 [95%CI 0.05; 0.76] for the 3-months follow-up only. No other reliable training effects in cognitive and clinical variables were found for either point of time.
Conclusions: In this randomized controlled trial, memory training for dementia is feasible and yielded some evidence for 3-months follow-up training gains in patients with Parkinsons disease. WMT might be an effective intervention to prevent cognitive decline in this patient group.
Studies recently have highlighted how natural treatments for neurological symptoms are successfully obtained from eating certain foods. Recent studies listed below focus on mushroom nutrition for Parkinsons.
If you are not allergic to mushrooms (most people are not), then why not begin eating a variety of different mushrooms as an addition to your evening meals?
Mushroom Nutrition for Parkinsons Studies
Antioxidants (Basel). 2026 Apr 21;15(4):519. Potential Protection Against Parkinson’s Disease by Ergothioneine-Nature’s Multifactorial Neuroprotectant
Abstract
The use of neuroprotective nutraceuticals as a strategy against neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) has gained considerable traction in recent years. In this review, we highlight ergothioneine (ET)-a naturally occurring thiol/thione derivative abundant in mushrooms-as a promising candidate, given its long half-life, blood-brain barrier penetration, and high bioavailability.
Numerous population studies have linked low blood ET levels with increased risk and progression of neurological and other age-related disorders in humans, suggesting that dietary ET may confer neuroprotective benefits. Supporting this, several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of ET treatment in reducing PD-associated molecular damage across various pre-clinical models such as C. elegans, Drosophila, rodent models and human neuronal cultures, leading to marked improvements in disease phenotypes.
We summarize some of the proposed mechanisms by which ET may exert neuroprotection in PD, including the reduction of protein aggregation, enhancement of mitochondrial function, mitigation of oxidative stress, and attenuation of apoptosis and neuroinflammation. We also highlight recent clinical trials demonstrating the safety and potential efficacy of ET.

Nutrients. 2023 Apr 15;15(8):1913. Antioxidant Compounds from Edible Mushrooms as Potential Candidates for Treating Age-Related Neurodegenerative Diseases
Abstract
The last century has seen an increase in our life expectancy. As a result, various age-related diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), have emerged, representing new challenges to society.
Oxidative stress (OS), a condition of redox imbalance resulting from excessive production of reactive oxygen species, represents a common feature that characterizes the brains of elderly people, thus contributing to NDs. Consequently, antioxidant supplementation or dietary intake of antioxidant-containing foods could represent an effective preventive and therapeutic intervention to maintain the integrity and survival of neurons and to counteract the neurodegenerative pathologies associated with aging.
Food contains numerous bioactive molecules with beneficial actions for human health. To this purpose, a wide range of edible mushrooms have been reported to produce different antioxidant compounds such as phenolics, flavonoids, polysaccharides, vitamins, carotenoids, ergothioneine, and others, which might be used for dietary supplementation to enhance antioxidant defenses and, consequently, the prevention of age-related neurological diseases.
In this review, we summarized the role of oxidative stress in age-related NDs, focusing on the current knowledge of the antioxidant compounds present in edible mushrooms, and highlighting their potential to preserve healthy aging by counteracting age-associated NDs.
What are the best natural remedies for Parkinson’s symptoms? Many centuries ago Hippocrates knew the answer to this question:
“Let your food by your medicine and your medicine be your food.”
Food is the best medicine when compared to all the options. It is a natural remedy with no side effects that is more effective than taking dozens of supplements every day.
Of course it depends on what food we are talking about here. The typical American diet acidifies the body which leads to chronic illnesses like Parkinsons. The ability to buffer acidity is exhausted by the young age of 45.
Worse, acidic bodies significantly reduce oxygen levels. Without sufficient oxygen circulating through the body, chronic illness can not be reversed.
Researchers have recently discovered that a specific extract from the aloe vera plant boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation. Both issues are well known to be a cause of Parkinson’s symptoms.
There is no doubt about it. The most effective medicines with no side effects are derived from plants. Extracts from certain foods heal a variety of conditions including Parkinsons and Alzheimers. They do not address neurological symptoms specifically but provide support for the body’s ability to heal from the inside out rather than suppressing symptoms temporarily.
We all know on some level that the aloe plant heals burns and cuts, but the health benefits from a specific extract derived from Aloe turn out to be far greater than wound healing alone.
Researchers have named this extract Acemannan. Its health benefits are considerable including it …
Reduces inflammation
Has a molecular structure similar to a mother’s milk which offers support needed by newborns to thrive
Helps regulate the immune system by stimulating one that is under-active and depressing one that is over-active
Supports the function of a healthy gut
Repairs cellular damage
Facilitates the creation of new stem cells
Stimulates the production of glutathione
As a natural food the extract of Acemannan from the Aloe plant has no documented side effects.
Visit the replay link below of a presentation by Kari Skinner who discusses the healing properties of Acemannan. Her focus is on how this extract in particular offers the potential to help persons currently confronting neurological symptoms.
I recommend this natural treatment option for Parkinsons be given serious consideration. It supports the ability of the body to heal rather than simply suppressing symptoms with medicines and supplements for the rest of a person’s life.
Pharmaceutics. 2023 Jul 9;15(7):1913. A New Biomaterial Derived from Aloe vera—Acemannan from Basic Studies to Clinical Application
Abstract
Aloe vera is a kind of herb rich in polysaccharides. Acemannan (AC) is considered to be a natural polysaccharide with good biodegradability and biocompatibility extracted from Aloe vera and has a wide range of applications in the biomedical field due to excellent immunomodulatory, antiviral, antitumor, and tissue regeneration effects.
In recent years, clinical case reports on the application of AC as a novel biomedical material in tissue regenerative medicine have emerged; it is mainly used in bone tissue engineering, pulp–dentin complex regeneration engineering, and soft tissue repair, among other operations. In addition, multiple studies have proved that the new composite products formed by the combination of AC and other compounds have excellent biological and physical properties.
What is the answer to the question everyone wants to hear? What are the best natural options for Parkinsons? What offers the best opportunity for recovery? Who is a resource to ask that will always provide the right answer?
No doubt there are excellent resources to ask. Friends and family can be a rich resource to tap. Medical care professionals have a wealth of experience treating the condition. Their information and suggestions can always be very instructive. It is always a good idea to ask friends, family and medical care professionals.
What about testimonials? I have to report that I do not pay attention to testimonials. With the emergence of artificial intelligence, many are fake.
So what is the best resource that will give you 100% accurate answers to questions about the best natural options for Parkinsons that you personally need to pursue?
Ask your body to give you the answers. Your body always knows what it needs.
Some people like to muscle test questions about this or that therapy. Others are uncomfortable with that approach. Trusting your own wisdom and instincts gets you the same accurate answers as muscle testing.
The bottom line for me is to collect information about everyone and everywhere about options you are drawn to pursue. Then check in with your inner wisdom to know what is the best option to pursue for you right now.
I have exciting results of a new study just published: light therapy improves memory. This adds further evidence for the effectiveness of light therapy (now referred to by researchers as photobiomodulation) as a natural way to improve memory and cognition.
Subjects in this study all had mild cognitive impairment, not one that is extensive landing people in Alzheimer’s lock down nursing care facilities. The current thinking is that early dementia can be reversed. When it has progressed to an advanced stage, possibility of reversal is limited.

OK. Why do recovery programs fail? What is the major obstacle to recovery from Parkinsons disease or any chronic condition for that matter? Is it that:
The condition is destined to be progressive?
The wrong choice of therapies are pursued?
The dosage of medications or supplements causes horrible side effects?
These of course can all be roadblocks to recovery, but what is the major obstacle to recovery from Parkinsons? My answer will likely surprise you. The major obstacle to recovery from Parkinsons is to abandon a program of recovery too soon.
When the body has activated authentic healing it is rare to feel better. Rather, it is more likely you will feel worse. Why? The release of toxins and traumas are not “feel good” experiences. When the body is detoxing, you will most likely feel tired, unmotivated and even depressed. A successful journey down the road to recovery is rocky with jumps and starts along the way.
Authentic healing requires a heavy dose of patience and persistence. Once you decide on a therapy to embrace and are convinced it will help, give it a chance to manifest.

Why Do I Offer One on One Mentoring
First – After nearly 22 years of researching the causes of Parkinsons and the natural therapies that can reverse them, I have reached a point where my greatest satisfaction in life comes from seeing more and more individuals transform their health.
Second – The individuals I have been mentoring over recent months have been making remarkable progress. This warms my heart and soothes my soul to know that the ongoing attention and support is making a difference.
A 2026 study concludes that lutein is a strategy for treating Parkinsons. This particular study uses animals – in this case mice. Obviously, results may not translate to humans, but animal studies often are replicated in studies using human subjects. Lutein is often recommended as a supplement to benefit problematic eye conditions.
It is a natural supplement that requires no prescription from a doctor, so this natural option is readily available to give a trial spin. Will taking lutein be a beneficial treatment for you? As with all natural therapies it will likely be beneficial to some but not others. The cost of experimentation is small compared to the potential benefit, so why not consider this as an option to be investigated further?
Study Concludes Lutein is a Strategy for Treating Parkinsons
J Integr Neurosci. 2026 Jan 23;25(1):45758. Lutein Attenuates Parkinson’s Disease Progression by Regulating Mitochondrial Function via the TRIM31/Drp1 Signaling Pathway
Abstract
Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is closely associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Lutein has been shown to exert protective effects in neurological disorders. This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effects of lutein on mitochondrial function in PD and its underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: Animal and cellular PD models were established by intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in mice and treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+), respectively. Motor function was assessed using the rotarod, adhesive removal, and pole tests. Mitochondrial function was evaluated using MitoSOX Red staining, JC-1 staining, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content measurement. Western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were used to measure the levels of relevant proteins and mRNA.
Results: Lutein significantly ameliorated MPTP-induced motor dysfunction in PD mice, increased the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons, and alleviated damage to striatal brain tissue. At the cellular level, lutein significantly suppressed MPP+-induced apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells, upregulated the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and downregulated the expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and cleaved caspase-3.
Additionally, lutein significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, restored mitochondrial membrane potential, increased ATP levels, and increased the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. At the molecular level, lutein promoted the ubiquitination of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), whose degradation was impaired in the PD model. This effect was mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Tripartite Motif-containing protein 31 (TRIM31), whose expression was downregulated in the disease state. Functional experiments confirmed that overexpression of TRIM31 enhanced Drp1 ubiquitination and improved mitochondrial function, whereas TRIM31 knockdown partially attenuated the therapeutic effects of lutein.
Conclusion: In summary, this study revealed, for the first time, that lutein alleviates PD progression by increasing Drp1 ubiquitination and degradation via TRIM31 transcription and translation, ultimately improving neuronal mitochondrial function. These findings not only elucidate a novel mechanism underlying lutein’s neuroprotective effect but also identify a potential therapeutic target and offer a new strategy for PD treatment.
Researchers have only recently recognized the central role redox signaling plays to support the health of humans, plants and animals. It is the boost needed to reverse illness and sustain health.
Redox signaling supports the ability of cells to respond appropriately to environmental stimuli. When each cell acts independently of other cells, its ability to avert illness and disease is compromised. Redox cell signaling activates communication among cells to support the body’s ability to reverse illness and sustain wellness.
Studies report that redox cell signaling …
Does no harm
Contains no toxins
Wakes up sleepy cells
Helps un-poison the body
Activates a natural process of healing
Has anti-viral properties
Addresses bacterial infections
Facilitates the production of glutathione by the body
Reduces reactions to chronic stress
When confronted with neurological challenges, the allostatic load becomes too great for the body to perform the functions of toxic elimination. All of the body’s elimination organs (eg: liver, kidneys, colon, skin) are confronted with getting rid of more toxins than can be processed out of the body at any given time. The problem is analogous to when a dam overflows.
As the body becomes less able to eliminate the toxins that have accumulated the overflow overwhelms the body’s ability to function. This compromises the natural ability of the body to rejuvenate and regenerate. With Parkinsons, the allostatic load becomes too overwhelming for the body to perform the functions of elimination and renewal.
Redox signaling helps reduce an allostatic load that has maxed out.
Researchers are clearly enthused about the prospects for redox signaling molecules. A search on the Pubmed.gov research platform lists 7,262 studies that have been published when searching the terms “redox signaling molecules”. The explosive interest in this topic indicates it merits serious consideration.
Chin Med J (Engl). 2026 Mar 5;139(5):653–671. Role of LRRK2 in physiological activities, diseases, and therapy
Abstract
Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a critical target for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and potentially other diseases. LRRK2 is involved in intracellular signaling, immune response, and inflammation, with key roles in both the central nervous system and peripheral tissues.
LRRK2 mutations are linked to cellular dysfunction including mitochondrial and neuronal damage and can disrupt signaling pathway balance, thereby contributing to PD and other disorders
The mouth is subject to various insults that result in troublesome symptoms such as ulcers, cuts, burns, etc. These can be caused by hot or sharp foods, infections or dental treatments. Suvia mouth wash is a natural treatment with no side effects that protects the health of not only your mouth but your entire digestive system.
Why discuss issues with oral health when the focus of Parkinsons Recovery has always been on natural options to help persons find natural treatments for troublesome neurological challenges?
Answer: The health of the mouth affects the rest of the body. Digestive issues, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases are well known to be affected by health sores and infections. If you have been unable to bring your digestive system back on line, the problem may well reside with infections in your mouth.
Below is a replay of my interview in 2018 with the developer of Suvia Dr. John Hall who discusses the scientific basis behind the development of Suvia as well as the many uses and benefits provided by this natural way to rejuvenate and regenerate health of the mouth. He makes reference to his formulation as TheraGel. The name has since been changed to Suvia but it is the same mouth wash.
I have personally used Suvia and can report it is the real deal. For more information and to order visit: Suvia
From hot foods to dental care to brushing and flossing to braces and dentures your mouth takes a beating. Suvia adheres to oral tissue, forming a protective barrier that manages pain while maintaining the environment required for optimal wound healing.
Most people reach for a mouth wash rinse loaded with alcohol and synthetic chemicals that disrupt the delicate oral microbiome — the very ecosystem your mouth relies on to stay healthy. What is the problem with Alcohol as an ingredient in most mouth washes?
Alcohol rinses kill indiscriminately. They strip beneficial bacteria, dry out tissue, and leave your mouth more vulnerable after every use. That’s not oral care. That’s oral disruption.
Unlike traditional mouthwashes with alcohol and harsh chemicals, Suvia uses 100% natural food ingredients to work with your mouth, not against it.
Suvia provides pain relief, protects wounded areas from contamination, and optimizes healing. It is drug-free and non-toxic and is safe to swallow. Not only does it provide excellent pain relief, but it can be also incorporated into the oral hygiene regimen to help keep the mouth clean and healthy.
Naturopath John Coleman, ND, has an unqualified answer answer to the question: does dehydration cause symptoms? He says dehydration floats to the top of the list of factors that can cause Parkinson’s symptoms. John further says that the Aquas, designed to hydrate the body, were critical to his full recovery from Parkinson’s Disease. John is one of the first persons to my knowledge who succeeded in reversing his Parkinson’s symptoms in the mid 1990’s.
I interviewed a developer of the Aqua Hydration Formula, Dr. Jaroslav Boublik PhD, who answered questions about the Aquas and their use in addressing the symptoms of Parkinsons Disease.
Are you taking all the best medicines and supplements for your Parkinson’s symptoms and doing the exercises recommended by the experts but are not celebrating 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 get rid of toxins if there is not enough water in 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 probably right.
Dr. Boublik is my book of experts is the international expert on water and hydration. His research centers around the effects of dehydration. Dr. Boublik answers questions about the effects of dehydration on your health and how you can realistically address the problem such as:
Why do we get dehydrated as we age?
Why is hydration so important to eliminate toxins?
If I add such substances to my diet such as – salt, energy drinks, coffee, tea, alcohol, colas, milk – will I be better hydrated?
What are the symptoms of dehydration?
Is drinking structured water a good idea?
Can good hydration reduce Parkinson’s symptoms?
Will better hydration enhance mental clarity?
Jaroslov Boublik is one of the two researchers who formulated the Aquas (www.aquas.us), a homeopathic treatment for dehydration.

Accidents Happen. How do you cut the pain from injuries in minutes?
Everyone has accidents of one type of another. What do you do when you are injured? I used to ignore the pain with the full knowledge that in time – and it usually took time – my body will eventually heal from injuries when accidents happen.
Now my approach is different. I now run “lines of light” which is a form of energy healing. I learned how to repair the injured energy field using “lines of light” from a first class healing school. .
This particular healing technique is simple and I must say unbelievably effective. I can literally feel less pain when I run the “lines of light” across an injury within a minute or two. The pain is usually gone within 3 minutes.
I shot a 10 minute video to demonstrate the “lines of light” healing technique. This happens to be an energy healing technique I have used most frequently and with the most success. Please believe me when I say it really does work!
How to Cut the Pain from Injuries
It is important to know about the “lines of light” healing technique I illustrate in this video not only for yourself, but for your children and family when they are injured.
