Herbal Detoxes

What do herbal detoxes entail? What is involved when it comes to the physical sensations and outcomes? Here is a fascinating email account I received permission to post from Deborah.

Herbal Detoxes

I’ve been detoxing on herbs for 2 years now so detox pathways feel very familiar. I took 1/3 of my 300 mg dose, used a razor blade to cut the small white pill. Waited an hour to eat a light fruit snack. Fell asleep 9 pm. Awakened 11:45 feeling effervescent bubbling and zapping sensations between stomach and liver back and forth almost gurgling with an intermittent stab of pain lasting only a second. I knew then that the immune boost I got from LDN was working! Then the sensation moved up esophagus this took awhile and then bam center of my brain. Internal brain tremors started as I calmly observed smiling at the work being accomplished. I didn’t have an early or heavy schedule so I just relaxed about sleep.

Internal brain tremors started as I calmly observed smiling at the work being accomplished. I didn’t have an early or heavy schedule so I just relaxed about sleep.

Fever kicked in for about a minute then gone! Zapping and bubbling continued moving arm, shoulder started tremoring furiously then stopped, then back to liver, stomach, another momentary fever and I fell asleep again. Woke 4:45 ran to bathroom with diarrhea.​ Went back to bad this time explosive diarrhea. Showered and cleaned lay down again feeling crazy head sensations, center the to ears, sinuses then skull. No more sleep just rest. The detox pathways just covered areas covered by vagus nerve, which interfaces with parasympathetic control of the heart and digestive tract. Oh yeah sensations went to my heart and a slightly longer fever persisted then faded. Don’t feel great this morning but ready to continue this battle to recover, thinking of possibly reducing dose to 75 mg as I’m not in a hurry. Recovery is a journey not a race and if too many pathogens are killed the toxic load is too much for the body to release. In that case it just recirculates through the body spreading more disease and we don’t want that!So why so many pathogens in my body? In a word trauma. From the age of eight and up I have had many episodes of disassociation. Where fear exacerbated by abusive circumstances of which I had no control had me(my consciousness) completely leave my body. This is when the immune system turns off and the body stores the trauma in a cellular level. Only to repeat it over and over. The immune system went into shock and now as pathogens move thru the body, the way they do, the immune system asleep at the wheel allows pathogens to start nesting eventually to take over if not reversed.”

Relief for Tremors

“What can I do to relieve me of my hand, foot, and inner head tremors or, at least,relief for tremors experience some relief for tremors? The tremors are in my left hand, left foot, and upper, inner, left side of my head. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2014. I declined prescription  medications.”

Pathway to Freedom

What is the pathway to freedom for anyone experiencing symptoms of Parkinsons?  do any or all of the following reactions resonate?

  • I have been dealt a horrible setback I did not deserve.
  • I have done nothing to deserve Parkinson’s symptoms.
  • I am not guilty of wrong doing.
  • I have been imprisoned unjustly.
  • I have lost my freedom.
  • I have lost friends because of my circumstances
  • I cannot escape my circumstances.
  • I make valiant efforts to escape but I remain jailed.

Well? These resentments are identical to individuals imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. There are estimated to be 120,000 inmates serving sentences in United States prisons who have been convicted of crimes they did not commit. Since 1989, 2000 have been exonerated and freed.

People who experience Parkinson’s symptoms become are also wrongly convicted prisoners in their own right. How does anyone survive when they are victims of imprisonment?  What is the pathway to freedom? What have wrongly convicted prisoners done to remain sane? How were they able to maintain the dedication to pursue their freedom despite the fact many remained imprisoned to 10-20 years before being released from jail?

Stories of recovery and vindication have been documented in a recent book edited by
Laura Caldwell and Leslie Klinger titled Anatomy of Innocence: Testimonies of the Wrongly Convicted. One of the cases is told by former Jazz Musician Antoine Day who was falsely imprisoned for 10 years. He concluded that his mental state would be dependent on his ability to connect with his past.

Through persistence and clear purpose, he succeeded in convincing prison officials to provide musical instruments to inmates who shared his
love of music. Day formed a prison jazz band which helped keep himself and other inmates sane. Inner resolve and commitment were critical to securing his ultimate freedom. His persistence paid off in the end.

Be inspired by the wisdom of Antoinne Day and other wrongly convicted prisoners who refused to give up. In small part it is about persisting in the face of formidable obstacles. In large part it is about embracing your life passions. How can you best activate the process of recovery?

  • Reinvigorate the thrills of what gave you excitement and joy in the past.
  • Embrace your life’s calling.
  • Respond to the call of your soul’s longing.
  • Take the steps you know in your heart, mind and soul will ultimately lead to freedom.

What have you loved in the past that you have abandoned? Embrace it now. That is what Antoinne Day did. Follow his leadership into a new life outside the confines of confinement and restriction.

Persist. The solution will find you at the right time and in the right place. May it not take as long as 10 years to celebrate symptomatic freedom as it did for Antoinne.

Hidden Secrets from our Birth Date and Name

I have never held much stock in interpretations derived from an analysis of our name and/or birth dates. For fun, I decided to make a pass through an automated program (for free) that gave me information about myself after entering my name and birth date. I have to report I was very surprised at the report’s accuracy.

Make a pass for yourself and see what you think. If anything, it is a fun activity. It is free. And it is a welcome distraction from the news of the world. Click on the picture below to retrieve  your own numerology chart and see what you think.

Process of Recovery from Parkinson’s Symptoms


I interviewed Tom House today on the radio show.  He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease about five years ago. Tom has a unique perspective on the “process” of recovery. Note that I used the word “process” not “outcome”. Tom explains that when athletes focus on the “outcome” they want – i.e., winning the game – their performance sinks and they are more likely to lose.

The outcome is not what matters, but the process. Of course people diagnosed with Parkinson’s want to see all symptoms dissolve. To make that happen however, the focus needs to be on the present moment activities and behaviors that in the end make that outcome possible.

This is why mindfulness programs are so successful for people with Parkinson’s.  They focus on process rather than outcomes.

Remarkable Journey on the Appalachian Trail

Tao (his trail name) hiked the Appalachian trail last year with considerable difficulty. Many of his Parkinson’s symptoms became much worse. I suppose some people would conclude that should be the last extended hike he should take. Not Tao.

I received a call from him today. He is doing another long hike down the Appalachian trail this summer. This year, unlike last, he has had no difficulties. Get this. Tao was able to hike a total of 100 miles in three days. He emailed me an inspiring picture taken of him on a scenic route on the trail.

Dr. O’hhira Probiotics

After spending the last four months updating Road to Recovery from
Parkinsons Disease
I am awed by the variety of therapies that are helping more and more people reverse Parkinson’s symptoms. There are so many choices. Which ones are the most important?

I have drawn the conclusion that healing the gut should be a priority
for everyone. The cause of many Parkinson’s symptoms originate there.

I was most impressed by my interview with Natural Pharmacist Ross Pelton who introduced the importance of taking probiotics to maintain a healthy gut. I started taking the probiotics he recommended – Dr. Ohhiras’s professional formula – and continue to be pleased personally with the results. It is not a quick fix, but healing the gut cuts to the core of what needs to happen for genuine healing to happen.

From my interview with Ross, my personal experience and feedback from those of you who are taking these probiotics, I concluded taking probiotics is a critical step to recovery.

Use This Fantastic Technique to Improve Balance

Have Issues with Balance and Mobility?

Here Is A Simple And Effective Strategy

 Watch this 2 minute YouTube video posted by Steve who has Parkinson’s symptoms for a tip that:
  • Is simple to do
  • Can be done right now
  • Requires no practice
  • Involves no training program
  • Is free.

This is by far the best idea I have heard about in a long time that helps improve balance and enhances mobility. I suspect it is effective because it opens up energetic meridians throughout the body that have led to poor posture and drained your energy.

Why Recovery from Parkinson’s Stumbles


I am proud to celebrate the dozens of therapies that are helping more and more people reverse the symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. There are so many great options out there that did not exist five years ago.

If so many great options exist, why do not more people celebrate a reduction and reversal of their Parkinson’s symptoms? Why does recovery from Parkinson’s stumble for so many? My answer: People are gripped by a stranglehold of fear that their symptoms are destined to get worse. The process is “vicious” because symptoms are in your face day in and day out.

Take tremors for example. Tremors can calm down from time to time when stress is under control but they usually reappear.  The reaction to this seemingly never ending cycle is all too familiar.

  1. This tremor is driving me crazy. It is high time for it to disappear.
  2. The next day comes. The tremor persists.
  3. After many days, weeks and months you conclude you are “stuck” with this awful, nasty symptom for life.
  4. After all, this is what seemingly knowledgeable people have told you. Perhaps it is true after all.

What is the problem with this all too familiar pattern? It winds up supporting and sustaining the tremor. I suggest a very different reaction which can break this vicious cycle rather than sustain it.

Instead of viewing the tremor as the “bad guy” in your life, accept the tremor (or other symptoms) as the “good guy.”  Instead of wishing the tremor to vanish, wish it to flourish. Set an intention to allow your body to shake, rattle and roll if that is what your body needs to do in the moment.

Now, I suspect this recommendation must sound crazy to you. A tremor is your body’s way of getting your attention. It is the body’s natural method of releasing trauma and stress. When you suppress a tremor, the energy of trauma gets stuck in your body and sticks to your cells like glue.

When you view a tremor (or other symptoms) as the “bad guy” you  are giving your body a nasty message that it is broken.  But, it not broken now and never has been. Your body is working perfectly. It is just telling you something you do not want to hear or accept.

Treat a tremor (and other symptoms) as a natural healing response which is nudging you to set in motion new lifestyle habits.

  • Instead of resisting, why not make the changes?
  • Embrace new habits that you know in your mind, heart and soul are necessary to heal.

The best way to reverse the vicious cycle that leads to feeling worse is to acknowledge symptoms as the “good guys.” In so doing, you honor and acknowledge the body’s sacred ability to heal. Treat your body as broken and worthless and it will respond accordingly just as you do when treated with disrespect.

The Secret to Healing Parkinson’s

My research over the past decade has identified dozens of therapies that help people reverse the symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Therapies that
show resounding success for some people fizzle for others.

The surprise discovery is that many therapies help. Great.  OK. What do these therapies all have in common?

My answer may surprise you. Therapies that help people heal from neurological difficulties offer ways to settle and calm the sympathetic nervous system. This opens the opportunity
for the parasympathetic nervous system to function as designed.

We all exert control over our sympathetic nervous system. When we confront a hungry bear on the wilderness trail while hiking, we activate an instant rush of adrenaline to address the challenge.  Our response may be to fight, freeze or flight.

When the sympathetic nervous system is constantly churning and, for some with Parkinson’s symptoms, churning its gears on overdrive, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes overwhelmed. Both are necessary for the body function and survive.

The challenge for people with Parkinson’s symptoms is that the sympathetic nervous system is almost always dominating the parasympathetic  nervous system. In other words, the good guy here (the parasympathetic nervous system) is smothered by the bad guy (the sympathetic nervous system).

How does this play out moment to moment? People who experience Parkinson’s symptoms often have spurts of anxiety, panic attacks or are continuously stressed out with unfounded worries, unrealistic fears or negative thinking that scares the heck out of them. The churning of anxiety pumps out the hormones like adrenaline that stirs excitation throughout the body – so much so that the nervous
system is overstimulated.

Over the long haul deep ruts are carved in the neural pathways which eventually causes the myelin sheaths that cover and protect them to thin. The protective insulation is compromised. A type of “shorting out” occurs just as an electrical circuit short circuits when the insulation covering on the raw wires is exposed.

What then do all of the therapies that help people reverse their symptoms have in common? One therapy or another helps calm down the sympathetic nervous system so that it is not continuously running on overdrive. A body that is continuously running at a furious pace never has an opportunity to rest and rejuvenate. The resting state (the parasympathetic state which is automatic and effortless) gets a little tender loving support
when the sympathetic nervous system is quieted.

The bottom line is this. If you find yourself being nervous and anxious most of the day and night your body will never get the opportunity to rejuvenate and heal itself. Best to let off the steam of the sympathetic nervous system by embracing a therapy that helps reduce its intensity.

Tip for Swallowing Safely

Hey Robert,
After having done lots of CPR through the years and also taking hand fulls of supplements on and off through the years, I wanted to mention that what may make it easier to swallow pills is simply the anatomical alignment of your head and neck and spine.  For me if I tilt my head up even slightly it makes swallowing pills nearly impossible.  If I look ahead and even move the eyes slightly downward there is no resistance whatsoever (like offering breath for a small child or infant in CPR ~ if the head is tilted back at all it usually blocks the airway so we use a more neutral position most effectively).

Calming of Tremors

Tao gave me permission to post below his email about calming of tremors. It follows.
Robert Rodgers PhD
Founder 2004
Parkinsons Recovery

Yes!!This is so exciting. Last night I clearly noticed a calming of  tremors. This morning there was a time period of it reverting back to only a thumb tremor (how it started roughly 3 yrs ago). This has not happened before. Also, last night I felt very calm from talking with another soul that truly believes in the bodies memory of wholeness. I’m also amazed at the clearing/calming feeling that blanketed over me while you spoke of the Physical and Energetic relation to Invasion and Parasites as well. To top it all off, I slept over two hours past my usual 4:15 ish inner wake up alarm.
Three new and likely contributing factors added to the menu of remedies and soul reminders from yesterday:
    • A good hard laugh while conversing with Tim B.
    • First 1/2 dose of  SYNCOLEIN
    • An amazing phone consultation with Dr. RR.

This morning I also discovered NIACIN and its relation to PD. I’m already naturally eating some of the best sources of B3 but will add more of the higher niacin foods.

I don’t even want to think about how life would be had I not stumbled on your site when I was rather in a blind panic after a rather cruel presentation of a diagnosis and loosing my friend on same day. It is again with tears that I share my appreciation for your consistent research and openness to share and find us who seek the path of healing.

Use Tremors to Muscle Test

What follows is a fascinating email from an individual traveling down the road to recovery who uses his tremors to great advantage. He refers to himself as “Tao.”  As you will discover below, his tremors are a surprisingly useful tool when it comes to muscle testing!
“I was having little success with trying various muscle testing techniques and it finally dawned on me to ask myself the question, “what might work best for me”.  Before I even finished asking that very question the thought came on like a light switch that I should use the tremor (that by the way I first acknowledged/interpreted as a ‘spiritual gift’ coming through back when I was living and backpacking in the Appellation Mountains last summer) as a method parallel to muscle testing. 
 I extend out my arm and briefly shake it into a relaxed state, then hold the pen as if i were about to write.  The little pause before the tremor is my yes and a more aggressive instant tremor a no.
I could be clueless if this tremor parts!!  lol”

Slightly Used Theracyle for Sale

Here is a notice about a Theracyle for sale. COntact Bob Jones if interested.

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease 

“My wife has Parkinson’s, and to help her stay in fighting shape, we purchased a brand-new Theracycle 200 less than a year ago. But in the meantime, her lower back problems became more serious, so now we’re looking for someone to take the Theracycle off our hands. The bike is fully operational, and has hardly been touched. We’re asking $2500. I’d be very grateful if you were willing to share this information with your friends there on the internet.”

Thanks very much.
