Symptoms of Parkinsons disease are troubling for everyone. The question I am asked more frequently is whether there ever will be a holy grail for Parkinsons Disease. Will a treatment ever be found that fixes everything?

Most people do not like my answer to this question. It would be so wonderful if a treatment could be found that would in fact fix everything. You have likely encountered websites and health care providers that promise to fix all of your problems.

The reason I know the answer to my question is no – there will never be a holy grail – is based on two reasons. I do not even like my answer, but here are the two reasons why.

First, there are a multitude of factors that cause the symptoms. Once a cause is identified (and there are usually many) it is then possible to identify treatment and therapies that can address it. But there will never be a treatment that fixes all of the causes. There are so many.

Say one of the primary causes for a person is toxins. There are many effective detox therapies that can address this particular cause. Detox protocols are not designed to address the challenge of persistent anxiety attacks or depression or trauma.

Second, I conduct a survey every holiday season which asks members of my audience whether they have been feeling better, the same or worse since the previous holiday season (a year ago). Results of my surveys over the years have been consistent. A third of respondents or more report feeling better.

I then ask respondents what therapies, treatments or steps have been helpful to them in feeling better. Does anyone report they found the holy grail that reversed all of their symptoms? No one reports this answer.

Persons who report feeling better report on average 6 different therapies or way that have embraced that are making the difference. These include a wide range of over 120 different natural options that have been proven to help people recover. It is the combination of methods that works the magic.

Summary

If you are frantic to find a holy grail for Parkinsons today, might I suggest you explore the potential causes of your symptoms first? That answer will guide your search for options that will make a difference to your recovery. Once the first cause is resolved, you are then invited to address a second or third cause.

The goal of course is the step back and realize you are getting better, little by little, day by day. The Road to Recovery is a process full of stops and starts. It is a journey that for whatever reason you have been invited to engage.
