Natural Options that Reverse Symptoms

Do I Go Another Route?

My husband has had Parkinsons for 9 years. We first went with the medicine route. It slowly got to the point where every new symptom was given one or two more medicines. He was talking so many medicines that at one point all he was doing was sleeping and wanting to end it all.

Let me know if you need to know all the meds he was on.

I consulted a naturopath who helped us begin supplements and a doctor who helped us wean my husband off the meds very slowly. He has been off the meds for about 5 months now.

The naturopath assured me that getting off the meds would be the answer, but that has not been the case.

He has been going a gradual decline and has taken a turn for the worse.

He cannot walk or bathe without help, his arms become extremely rigid and stiff, where I can hardly move them, and his whole body shakes (like a seizure). He is also having problems swallowing. His mind, however, remains sharp and clear.

He is becoming emotional and said today that he just couldn’t take much more of this.

I don’t know what to do now nor do I know where or to whom I need to go. He cannot live this way.

Do I put him back on the meds? Do I go another route? There are so many wonderful treatments I have read up on, but money is a key issue.

Please help.

Hi Debbie:

The recovery process involves difficult choices day in and day out. The road to recovery entails ups and downs. It is never a smooth ride. Healing from the inside out does usually involves letting deep emotions release. From you question above it sounds like this is what is happening and is actually a good thing to surface. When the focus of treatment is on suppressing the symptoms with medications and supplements, emotions are suppressed too. For the body to heal, the trapped trauma and emotions have to be felt and best of all released.

A wild guess on my part is that he has accumulated toxins in the tissues and lymph that are obstructing his mobility and creating restrictions in the body. Toxins in gall bladder and liver can be problematic in this regard. If he is not moving his  body, the toxins will have no way of moving through the lymph that is designed to carry the bad stuff out of the body. One of my Seven Secrets to Healing is to get the bad stuff out of the body first. Talk with your naturopath about this possibility.

From your question “Do I put him back on the meds” it sounds like you are in control of his recovery process.   My suggestion for you will probably be a surprise. Let him be in complete charge of decisions regarding his recovery. He is obviously a competent, smart man. He can and will figure it out.

Should I Get a Datscan?

Dear Dr. Rodgers, I have just listened to your radio programs like 5 of them. Got your large book…halfway through.

You are my hero. I am totally alternative…never really do meds. pills, drugs unless I am very sick, which is rarely.

Have in the last year developed symptoms like right hand tremor…lower jaw tremor…stiffness in knees…balance issues and the odd thing called ‘frozen’. So went to a neurologist and said it was essential tremors. Then for a 2nd opinion, I went to the head of the Movement Disorder Dept at Cedars Sinai here in Los Angeles. He said he suspected PD however, to make sure, he wants me to take the DaTscan test with radioactive iodine iv…

So…my question…after listening to you…do I take the test, or just continue learning about the symptoms, and work with all these modalities, including a consult with you… to become symptom free? The test is in 2 weeks. I have to cancel like in a day or two. I’m sure the doc will want me to go on those dopa meds. I’d be a dopa to take them honestly, which to me are a nightmare. What you say resonates with me as the TRUTH!! So do I need the test?

Thank you, and blessings…Marsha 

Hi Marsha:

Thanks for the kind words about the work I do through Parkinsons Recovery. They certainly made my day!

I have two reactions for you to consider. First, when it comes to making decisions like having medical diagnostic tests or taking prescription medications, I believe you and only you can make this determination. It doesn’t matter what I or anyone else thinks or might advise. Why do I say this? The most important factor in the recovery process is to take full control over every decision you make. What does your own intuition tell you?

Second, I suggest you may have asked the wrong question. I believe the issue sorts on a choice. Do you want to suppress the symptoms through medications (whether they are prescription medications or herbs), do you want to find the cause of the symptoms and treat the cause, or do you want to pursue both strategies? If you decide to take the prescription medications, you will have to tie up with a neurologist or other medical doctor who will need to do a diagnosis. That is the reason for the test that is suggested. Doctors cannot prescribe medications until they have a diagnosis. Some prefer to require a number of tests to confirm the diagnosis. Keep in mind that in the end, any diagnosis is the opinion of one person, so many people like to get second and third opinions – which has been your strategy too!

Parkinsons Disease: An Integrative Individualized Approach

What follows is an article written specifically on Parkinsons Disease An Integrative Individualized Approach written by Dr. Daniel Newman, M.D., N.D., M.S.O.M. and presented to a Parkinson’s support group in Portland, Oregon in October, 2009. For those who are attentive to initials that appear after people’s names, you may have already observed that Daniel Newman is a medical doctor, a naturopath doctor and an expert in Chinese medicine. What a powerful combination that is!

I aired an interview with Dr. Newman next month on the Parkinsons Recovery radio show.
visit Dr. Newman on Treating Parkinson’s to hear the recording of the program

Dr. Newman has a wealth of experience working with persons who have the symptoms of Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions. Dr. Newman reports evidence of recovery during the interview. He has a clinic in Vancouver, Washington where he sees Parkinson’s patients in addition to individuals with other chronic conditions.

This is an insightful and exciting article. I encourage everyone with the symptoms of Parkinson’s to take the time to read it through to the end.

Parkinsons Recovery
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

It is estimated that Parkinsons Disease affects 1.5 million people in the United States, and about 1% of all Americans over age 60. While a small percentage of Parkinson’s Disease can be considered hereditary, in the vast majority of cases, the cause is deemed idiopathic or unknown. Nevertheless, there is increasing evidence that environmental toxins play a role in the destruction of the substantia nigra, the nest of dopamine producing neurons in the midbrain whose loss is the defining anatomical feature in Parkinson’s Disease.

Toxins implicated in the development of Parkinson’s Disease include: recreational drugs (such as cocaine and amphetamines); pharmaceutical drugs (e.g., phenothiazines and metoclopramide); pesticides (such as β-hexachlorocyclohexane or B-HCH and rotenone); solvents (e.g., toluene, hexane, and trichloroethylene or TCE); and metals (such as mercury, lead, copper, and manganese).

Parkinson’s Disease can present as a spectrum of symptoms, from mild to severe which is why use Parkinsons Disease An Integrative Individualized Approach. Aside from the characteristic tremor, patients with Parkinson’s Disease may manifest problems with: movement (slow arm swing, small handwriting, accelerating small steps when walking, rigidity, freezing, and decreased facial expression); balance (instability and the tendency to fall backwards); speech (slurred or muffled); diminished reflexes (including blinking and swallowing); sleep disturbance; mood disorders (anxiety or depression); difficulty thinking (cognitive dysfunction or dementia); constipation; and skin problems (either dry or oily).

Because of this broad spectrum of symptom type and severity, the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease patients must be individualized. The treatment program for a patient with simply a mild hand tremor should not be the same as for a patient with long-term, severe, incapacitating symptoms.

Treatment should accomplish three goals:

    • 1. Symptom management –  control of symptoms that have already manifested.
    • 2. Neuro-protection – slow or prevent the further loss of dopaminergic neurons by providing the body with compounds that facilitate protection of nerve cells.
    • 3. Detoxification – lower the burden of toxic chemicals in the body to prevent further destruction of dopaminergic neurons.

Parkinsons Disease An Integrative Individualized Approach to Treatment

My approach to the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease combines conventional treatment, naturopathic medicine, and Chinese medicine. I believe that each of these approaches has something unique to offer. Conventional treatment, in particular pharmaceuticals, can be helpful in managing the symptoms of advanced Parkinsons Disease. However, conventional medicine has little to offer in the realms of neuro-protection or detoxification.

Naturopathic medicine has a breadth of modalities that can be useful in addressing neuro-protection and detoxification, and can be helpful in symptom management, but may not be able to blunt the symptoms of late stage disease without pharmaceutical support.

Chinese medicine utilizes a different paradigm than Western medicine (either allopathic or naturopathic), looking at the body energetically. It may therefore be helpful in all 3 arenas of treatment, particularly when two of the primary treatment modalities, acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas, are combined.

Symptom Management

Management of Parkinson’s Disease symptoms may involve the use of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the later stages of illness. Drugs used for Parkinson’s Disease include those that: boost the amount of dopamine in the brain by offering dopamine precursors (such as Sinemet, Apokyn, and Stalevo); act like dopamine in the brain (e.g., Mirapex, Requip, Permax, and Parlodel); block dopamines competing neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (e.g., Artane, Cogentin, Akineton, and Benadryl); and prevent dopamine from being broken down as quickly (Comtan, Tasmar, Eldepryl, and Azilect).

While these medications can be useful in some circumstances, they are not without side effects, sometimes serious ones. Also, they may become less effective over time requiring drug holidays. And, there is some suggestion that by overly exciting the remaining dopamine producing neurons in the brain, they may actually accelerate the progression of disease.

In some cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be helpful in lessening the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease where medications fail. However, this is an expensive neurosurgical procedure that carries its own attendant risks. It is not a cure, and though it may reduce motor symptoms by up to 60%, worsening of other symptoms, like cognitive dysfunction, is not uncommon.

Exercise, such as balance work, Tai Ji, and Qi Gong, has been shown in recent studies to be helpful in mitigating the balance issues in Parkinson’s Disease, and should be a part of any treatment program. Other types of exercise to promote general fitness, such as stretching, strengthening and aerobic exercise, can be useful in promoting general health and well being, thereby improving symptoms as well.

Dietary changes and appropriate personalized supplements may be helpful in addressing issues with skin condition, bowel function, sleep disturbance, and mood. A whole foods, organic, anti-inflammatory diet is a basic foundation. Diet should be further individualized based upon food sensitivities and digestive tract issues.

Chinese herbs and acupuncture may also be helpful with symptom management. Two systems of acupuncture, auriculotherapy (the use of needles retained in the ear) and scalp acupuncture (the use of needles retained in the scalp) are particularly useful in treating neurologic conditions like Parkinson’s Disease. Chinese herbs are best administered in synergistic combinations, specifically formulated for each individual based upon their Chinese energetic diagnosis.

Psycho-emotional health is very important in controlling symptoms. Individual counseling, support groups, meditation, and social networks can all be useful in supporting the spirit of the afflicted individual.

Neuro-protection

Protecting neurons against further damage is an essential part of preventing progression of disease in Parkinson’s Disease. While some nutritional supplements have been studied and show promise in this regard (Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin E, for example), there are many others for whom more indirect evidence of antioxidant / neuro-protective effects exists. These include: R-lipoic acid, Carnitine, Acetyl-carnitine, Uridine, Alpha-glycerophosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC), Vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine, Fish oils, Lithium orotate, Zinc, Vitamins B1, B5, B6, B12, Folic acid, and Phosphatidyl serine.

There are also a number of herbs that have shown promise in protecting neurons against damage, and / or improving dopaminergic activity in the brain. These include: Gingko biloba, Mucuna pruriens, Vinpocetine, Withania somniferens (Ashwaganda), Bacopa monniera; Rosemary; and several Chinese herbs (Dan Shen, Ye Jiao Teng, Bai Zi Ren, Huang Qi and Suan Zao Ren, to name a few).

Not all supplements or herbs should be used in all Parkinson’s Disease patients, nor should they be used in the same amounts. The extent of progression of disease, size and age of the individual, use of concurrent medications, and additional medical problems must all be considered in personalizing a safe and effective regimen.

Exercise, as mentioned above, particularly cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise, can increase cerebral blood flow by promoting healthy vasculature, thereby exerting a neuro-protective effect as well.

Detoxification

We live in a toxic world. Unprecedented pollution of our land, water, and air, due to decades of emissions, has reached the far corners of the globe. Radioactive plutonium can be found in remote areas of the arctic. Lead from gasoline banned in the United States 30 years ago can still be found in the atmosphere. Residues of pesticides banned over 40 years ago, such as DDT, can still be detected in our food supply.

Low levels of long-term toxin exposure tend to have an insidious effect on health over many years. Most toxicology studies look at the effects of acute poisoning, that is, a large dose given over a short period of time. Such studies form the primary basis for government recommendations of safe contact levels. However, we are all exposed to low levels of a multitude of toxins over a long period of time. Data on the effects of this real life exposure pattern is scant. However, experiments have demonstrated that even a single contact to legally acceptable levels of tainted air can have a lethal effect on laboratory animals.

Until the point when the sum of cellular damage from toxicity exceeds your bodys ability to compensate, you may feel perfectly well. The moment your body can no longer compensate for the amount of cellular damage you have accumulated, you get sick. It may seem like disease came on suddenly, when in fact you could not sense the accumulation of cellular toxicity until it reached a critical threshold.

The total amount of toxicity we have accumulated during our life-times is referred to as our toxic load. This is not a single number, like a blood pressure, for there is no way to calculate the total of all the poisons and damage from toxicity we have experienced in our lifetime. Rather, we can get a general idea based upon our past history of exposure to certain toxins. We can also perform tests to detect certain toxins that we may suspect, or that are highly toxic or ubiquitous, such as heavy metals. We can also test for toxicity indirectly, by looking at chemical end products of oxidation (rusting), or levels of antioxidant protection.

Some people clearly have high toxic loads based upon their history. I have had patients, including those with Parkinsons Disease, who acted as flaggers for crop dusting planes, dipped their hands in poisonous solvents to clean mechanical parts, chewed on lead rope, or as children, ran behind trucks spraying DDT or played with balls of mercury. Other patients I have attended to may not have had such clear contact, but upon testing had extremely high levels of environmental toxins from unknown exposures.

The first principle of detoxification is not to get toxic in the first place. This means avoiding toxins wherever possible. It is not feasible to avoid toxicity altogether, as there is nowhere on earth that is truly a pristine environment anymore. Nevertheless, there are many specific ways to limit toxic exposure.

The most critical step in toxicity avoidance, however, is to be conscious about it. Educate yourself about what is toxic, what alternatives there are or what protective steps you can take. And, keep toxicity exposure in mind when you decide where to live, what to eat or drink, or what products to use.

Apart from toxicity avoidance, which is preferred and of paramount importance, the second most important principle is to learn how to work with your body to improve your ability to detoxify. In order to do this, it is helpful to know something about the detoxification process.

Detoxification occurs both at the level of the cells and the body as a whole. At the level of the cells, detoxification involves several factors. First, wherever possible, the toxic substance must be removed from the cell and/or neutralized. Anti-oxidants help neutralize chemically reactive toxic substances called free-radicals. There are proteins called metallothioneins, which help neutralize and removed toxic heavy metals, such as mercury.

The cell membrane, which is the bag that surrounds our cells, is a complex border where decisions (in effect) are made about what gets in and out of the cell. It is mostly made of fat, and having the right balance of lipids in the cell membrane can effect the removal of toxins from the cell.

With regard to the body as a whole, enhanced circulation such as with exercise can improve blood flow to the cells, facilitating the removal of cellular toxins. Since much of the bodys toxic load is stored in the fat, breaking down fat with proper diet and exercise can also boost detoxification.

Once toxins have been mobilized from cells into the circulation, they must exit the body. They may exit via the urine (kidneys), stool (colon), sweat (skin), or breath (lungs). Elimination may be improved through these organs by various means. However, arguably the most important organ of detoxification is not an organ of direct elimination, but rather the liver.

The liver may be likened here to the sewage processing plant of the body. Chemical toxins (raw sewage) must be metabolized (processed) in order to be safely eliminated (dumped) by the body. Most petrochemical toxins, such as herbicides, pesticides, solvents, cleaning compounds, plastics, and cosmetics are primarily lipid soluble. Lipid solubility means that they dissolve more easily in fat than they do in water. To facilitate their elimination, the liver converts them into compounds that are more soluble in water. The liver also attempts to mitigate their toxicity by converting them into compounds that are less toxic than the original compound. By converting poisons in this way, they can more easily be eliminated, and, while in circulation, are likely to be less toxic.

Effective detoxification is an ongoing process of avoiding toxins wherever possible, and eliminating those that have accumulated in the body. Elimination involves the mobilization and removal of toxins that have built up in the body. This is most effectively accomplished by a well orchestrated program of facilitating toxin mobilization from the tissues, supporting their removal by the organs of detoxification, and optimizing the function of the body as a whole.

Detoxification is not necessarily an entirely benign process. If toxins are mobilized faster than they can be eliminated from the body, or if the body is not properly supported during detoxification, then people can feel more ill than they did before the process was started.

This may occur due to a phenomenon known as re-distribution in which a toxic molecule residing in a harmless location (let us say, the fat in your buttock) is mobilized into circulation, but before it can be eliminated from the body it ends up re-depositing in a not so benign location, like the brain.

Thus, while some aspects of detoxification are safe for individuals to self-administer, others are best guided by well-trained physicians. Even in the best of hands, depending upon ones initial state of health, constitution, and toxic load, it is not uncommon for people to feel initially worse before they get better.

A successful detoxification program is therefore a bit like conducting an orchestra or making a soup: you need the right components or ingredients, in the right amounts, introduced at the right time. Sometimes, small well-placed adjustments can mean the difference between a serenade and cacophony, or delectable versus inedible.

Successful detoxification requires a degree of vigilance for toxicity avoidance: eating clean food, drinking clean water, and generally avoiding chemicals in the environment. The remainder of the detoxification process, which should be supervised by a physician skilled in this process, would include diagnostic testing to assess hormone balance, nutritional deficiencies, signs of inflammation, and other disease states. Following this, appropriate supplements and procedures to facilitate toxin elimination would be prescribed.

Parkinsons Disease An Integrative Individualized Approach Conclusion

In summary, an integrative individualized treatment program for Parkinson’s Disease takes into consideration the stage of disease progression, and overall health and age of the patient. There are three main areas of focus: symptom management; neuro-protection; and detoxification. Conventional, naturopathic, and Chinese medicine modalities should be skillfully blended to maximize treatment efficacy.

How to Reduce Medication Dosage

“how do I wean myself off medications with out a doctor?”

The question for how to reduce medication dosage was submitted through My Q&A system available on the main blog at www.parkinsonsrecovery.com. Your doctor prescribed the medications for you in the first place, so you will have to involve them in the process of weaning yourself off of them. The weaning process can take some time, so you will more than likely need your doctor to continue prescribing the medications even though you have made a conscious choice to reduce the dosage.

Many people find reducing the dose very difficult, especially when the reduction that is attempted is to aggressive. Serious side effects can result under such circumstances. The best practice is to reduce the dose gradually and slowly. Give your body plenty of time to adjust to the change.

I think it is always a wise move to involve a compounding pharmacist in helping reduce the dose. They can make medicines that have slightly less in them and monitor how your are doing with the reduction, They will also correspond with your doctor to advise them of the status of your plan to reduce the dosage.

I think it is a smart move to take control of your own recovery plan. Hopefully, your doctor will be supportive of your decision. The people who succeed in their recovery have a full appreciation of the importance of taking full control over their recovery.

Affirmation Statement

What follows is an affirmation statement from Michael which I have permission to post
here on the blog. Thoughts are the primary consideration on the journey down the road to recovery.

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

I, Michael, do not have Parkinsons or the symptoms of Parkinsons.

I, Michael, have never had Parkinsons or the symptoms of Parkinsons.

To those of you who have been praying or even just thinking/wanting/wishing
that I be healed of Parkinsons or the symptoms of Parkinsons
please stop now.

Instead

please, in any way, shape, or form,
support my commitment to evolve beyond
any conscious or unconscious want, desire, or need
for any limitation whatsoever in this body-mind.

When you do this
instead of asking that I be healed
please picture me perfectly healthy, happy, whole and complete now.

Causes of Parkinsons Disease

There are many factors that can potentially be the causes of Parkinsons disease. Once you discover the root causes, you are in a position to focus attention on healing the problems that cause the symptoms.

The is a good probability that the causes are toxins or infections or trauma or entanglements in family systems (or some combination of these possibilities). What follows is an email I received from Chris who succeeded in identifying a Lyme infection as the cause of his symptoms. His story is a victory we can all celebrate. Chris is truly a pioneer of recovery.

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

Robert,

I wanted to give you and update. I am now a little over a month in treatment of my Lyme disease. My tremors have decreased a great deal but have not stopped. However the tremors are the only symptoms that still exist. I am no longer stiff and arm swing has returned. Simple tests like tapping my fingers shows that my right side has the same speed as the left. This was not true before, the right side was significantly slower.

I FEEL BETTER.

Last week I stopped feeling tired after the Bicilin shots. We believe the spirilia die off has stopped, meaning we have decimated the bacteria that causes the Lyme.

I start Clear Mind Neurofeedback therapy next week to start rebuilding the lost neurons from the attack of the disease.

I am going to continue the bicilin shots for another three weeks along with vitamin IV’s once a week. I am also detoxing heavy metals.

The bottom line is that it will take some time and patience to recover fully but I am making strong headway.

Chris

What is Wrong with Me?

I recently aired a radio show with guest Ivy Faber, ND, who discussed her approach for ascertaining and treating the cause of chronic illness. Dr. Faber has been my doctor for the past decade, so I am partial to her approach. Why? I have succeeded in reversing whatever symptoms I have experienced over the past 10 years.

Dr. Faber uses a computerized testing approach known as a Bioenergetic Assessment which analyzes a sample of the patient’s saliva. Bioenergetic assessments differ from standard medical testing for many reasons, so I decided to write a book which outlines the differences. The assessment was originally conceived 50 years ago so it is anything but new. Yet, many people are not familiar with this approach to figuring out possible causes of symptoms. Sp, I decided to write a book which explains the assessment approach which has been so beneficial to me and my family.

After months of research and writing. my book, titled What is Wrong with Me: Holistic Health at Its Best, is finally published. Hooray for me!

Jumpstart

“I have just listened to “Jumpstart”. May I first encourage you to run that “2015 Jumpstart for Australia”; I’ll be the first to sign up.

More important still, I believe you touched on the dominant reason people do not have faith in their ability to recover and take control of their well being.

It is that first, damning “trauma” that accompanies every diagnosis of any form of Parkinson-ism; the inevitable statement in one form or another;

“It is degenerative and incurable, you won’t die of it but you will die with it”

I was diagnosed 5 years ago and have had definite success “following my instinct” in a number of ways; including visiting Dr Walton-Hadlock in Santa Cruz, “medical” QiGong, acupuncture and, not-so-simple-with-tremors, meditation.

It is my certain experience that each advance is reversed by the perpetual “echo” of that statement that I have now heard from three eminent neurologists and read in almost every book and website …”degenerative and incurable”.

You probably know there is a hospital in Putney, UK, that was established in the 19th century to treat neurological diseases. It was called “The Hospital for Incurables” until 1995 when enlightenment struck. The detrimental and counter-productiveness of that name was acknowledged and the name was changed.

Imagine being admitted under the archway emblazoned with with the original name – your “inevitable” fate.

Yet 20 years later no such enlightenment has struck amongst “Parkinson’s Specialists”, the very professionals whose hospital was re-named in recognition of the self-fulfilling damnation of the categorization “Incurable”.

I write in hope that you, a man of influence in the realms of this horrible, life denying disease, be inspired to arouse your multitude of followers, the “patient advocate and support organizations and those medical professionals aware of the values of “alternative” cures and self-motivation, in a campaign to cease and revoke the terms “degenerative and incurable”.

It is 20 years since UK’s “Hospital for Incurables” was renamed “Hospital for Neurological Dis-abilities” . Surely time to bring enlightenment to the neurological establishment by a campaign presenting the facts and recognizing the dreadful harm and hopelessness these terms impose on their patients.

In gratitude for your work.”

Sincerely,

Ian

Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

“Your program provides extremely value in guiding me through the process I had already embarked on. The guidance you provide as well as the guidance the other participants provide through their stories is rock solid spot on , so my body confirms. 

Allowing to feel the old pains – getting presented where they come from , processing and synchronizing the mind and body and .. releasing the old energy captured in my body after that is on my daily menu – all comments provide confirmation of, and context to that what I am going through all is part of the process.

Medication camouflages the real ‘feeling it’, processing it and cleaning it up – therefore I can imagine that when people take medication it is hard to help them heal, as the experience remains hidden. Until also max medication can’t cover it up any longer –
The area where medication does not yet or not anymore camouflages the symptoms is the area where the work lays. That’s where the nasty bits stick up their ugly heads, asking and yelling to be felt, recognized and healed.

So grateful that I was pointed at, and was given the techniques to handle the phenomena that then arise, through the guidance received from many, as a preparation for the release process which is now intensifying, and the relief that that brings afterwards – every time again.

So grateful for folks like yourselves!! Just had to let you know.

Grateful regards,”

Intoxication with Heavy Metals as a Possible Cause of Parkinsons

I have been blogging for years about the role intoxication with heavy metals plays in causing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. One of the Seven Secrets to Healing is to get the “bad stuff” out of your body before pouring any “good stuff” in. Veterinarian Hanne Koplev’s story posted below is a compelling confirmation of how intoxication with heavy metals crashes the neurological system. Better yet, purging the heavy metals has a profound impact on reverse the symptoms.

Dr. Koplev sent me a picture of her to post which says everything about her own recovery from symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.

Unorthodox Approach

Hi Robert,

I like your approach. I have had success with an unorthodox approach using reiki, qigong, painting and a lot of intuition and research found out that I have massive amounts of copper and an excess of mercury. Although I am still registered as having PD I am on a 5 month detox with intravenous vitamin C and glutiathone 2 hours every second week and taking metalcaptase. I’ve had a brain scan and at least five experts confirm that I have PD. Then how can it be that I end up taking medicine for Wilson’s Disease? (Rhetorical question).

Warm regards

TMJ treatment for Parkinsons Disease

On a Parkinsons Recovery radio show I aired four years ago Cheryl heralded a TMJ treatment for Parkinson’s Disease that offered her welcome relief from her Parkinson’s symptoms. For a little background on where this story starts – listen to this radio show by click on the link below:

John, a listener of the Parkinsons Recovery Radio Show, recently asked Cheryl for an update on her current situation. I have her permission to post her email response to John which follows:

Robert Rodgers PhD
Seven Secrets to Healing

I guess you want to know if I am living Parkinson’s free, (among other things). Let me address this question first.. The short answer is : No, I’m not, unfortunately…Which is what I was hoping for – aren’t we all?

That being said.. There is a success story attached to that NO answer….

Sorry to be so confusing John. It’s kind of strange John.. But I would highly recommend getting an appliance especially if you were diagnosed within the last 5 years!!.. I am still better then anyone else I know who is living with Parkinsons.. My Neurologist at
UCLA can’t believe how little meds I take, how well I move, etc.. He says people living with Parkinson’s for 15 years , like I have, are all doing so much worse..

That being said: I have had lasting improvements, that I attribute to the TMJ treatment for Parkinsons Disease. For example: I can brush my teeth manually. I can put a sandwich in a baggie and have improved penmanship to name a few things off the top of my head.

That being said. I fall down – a lot- and I have tremors in my legs, that I never had 6 months ago. So I can tell the disease is marching on….

The bottom line is: it’s worth it!!! I still advocate for everyone in the Parkinsons community to get an appliance.. It’s not a cure but it definitely, definitely helps And it helps with out side effects. It also heals you today!! There is no waiting for clinical trials. And it’s immediate.. google Dr Brendon Stacks DDS in Virginia. Watch the videos… The appliance is real and it does work… I guess I was just hoping for more…but if the way I am is all I can get, well as I said.. I am still better of then if I had never used it.

Your friend in the trenches,

Cheryl

PS: I still wear my appliance, albeit not as often as what I should.
