Divine Conscious Love
Holy Awareness of All CreationMay the Rose of Christ
Bloom in My HeartRuler of Mind and Savior of The Soul
Live in Me TodayBe For Me the Bread of Truth
As I Freely Give Bread of OthersLet Me Grow in Wisdom
Understanding all CreationLet Truth Enter My Heart
That I Might SeeMay I Hear and Understand
That Conscious Love IncreasesLet My Heart Know Holiness
That My Being Reflects Divine Union with TheeJeff Meyers


My friend, as a Christian I can sincerely appreciate the worlds you share in poem. I truly hope that when wisdom and truth present themselves you/we are ready to accept them we might see. As the son of a long term PD sufferer who is a recipient of DBS and has been involved in the GDNF study as well, I would like to ask you, have you ever seen a Parkinson’s sufferer recover in health enough that he/she is able to come of all medication?
If you have not, please contact me. My father has. That is not to say he is cured in anyway shape or form, but quality of life is ultimately what we all hope for, agreed?
Last week my father had day surgery to replace his 5 year old battery which was less than 13% and nearly of nil effect. The stimulator was turned off for more than 2 1/2 hours, normally within 2 minutes of turning off the device, his body tremors would kick in and would not be able to sit still. At this point he only has sporadic and momentary tremors in his left hand. They are actually turning down his stimulator. 18 months ago, he was literally on his death bed. Today, he drives a car again, walks and talks again and is exponentially better. The stimulator has been beneficial but has also had some draw backs. If my father would have known 15 years ago what he knows now, he may have never needed DBS.
