“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.

Look in the Mirror When Making the “Good Side” Worse

January 10, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Here is a fantastic twist on the idea of making the “good side” worse to make the “bad side” better. Look in the mirror when you do this exercise. It is even more powerful.

Also, be sure to tap into all the deep feelings your have about your “bad side.” Make the exercise more than a thinking exercise.  Treat your “good side” just like you treat your “bad side.”

This really does help tremendously. Make it a habit every day for a few minutes.

Neurological Diplomacy

January 10, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Neurological Diplomacy is a Feldenkrais strategy to “make the good side worse” so that the “bad side” can become better. Yes. this sounds totally weird and strange, but it does succeed in reversing symptoms. Really!

I will illustrate the concept by describing an exercise introduced by Ruthy Alon in a Feldenkrais workship. Ruthy Alon is a senior Feldenkrais Trainer and founder of Bones for Life who coined the term “neurological diplomacy”.  I learned all about this technique from an email I received from one of the workshop participants who prefers to remain anonymous. Below is an edited version of the email I received.

An Exercise that Illustrates the Magic
of Neurological Diplomacy

Do the exercise right now so you can experience precisely how and why it works to reduce the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s. There are seven steps.

  1. Pretend to drink water out of a stream, cupping your hands one over the other. Image you are drinking water from a fresh water stream. Sip water out of your two hands as you bring your hands up and down from the imaginary stream. Notice how easy this movement is for you. Notice also which hand is on top of the other as you do this.
  2. Rest a moment.
  3. Now, do the same imaginary movement again, but put the other hand on top. Bring your hands all the way to your mouth to drink the imaginary water. This is not your familiar or easy way of doing it. Chances are good this movement will not feel so comfortable or easy.

How do we go about improving the second way of doing it, the way that is not so familiar and more difficult?  We do not want to directly work with the “bad” side because this is not where the brain is working well. There is a lack of understanding by the brain or a difficulty there.

In the case of a Feldenkrais treatment there may be an injury or pain involved in the “bad side” or “bad movement”. No learning, nor any good outcome, can easily happen when the practitioner works directly with the “bad side”. Rather, the practitioner will leave the “bad side” alone and not attempt to “fix” it.

In summary, do not even think of any side as “bad” or any movement as “bad”. Instead, accept it as it is. Simply leave it alone. Ignore it. Do not even think of changing it.

Doing so is an act of violence. This is the last thing anyone needs who experiences the symptoms of Parkinson’s. 

  1. Now, do the movement the “hard” way again and notice carefully how it was hard and why. Perhaps your shoulders are tighter with that unfamiliar arrangement of the hands. Perhaps the brain is confused. Perhaps the coordination is klutzy in that unfamiliar way. Whatever – notice what you can.
  2. Rest a moment.

Now Comes the Magical Solution

The Heart of Neurological Diplomacy

  1. Now do the easy movement, with the comfortable arrangement of hands one top of the other. Make sipping water difficult by pretending you now have on the “easy side” all the trouble or difficulty you had on the “bad side” with the unfamiliar palm on top.

Play like that for a little while, pretending to imitate the bad movement even though your palms are arranged in the more comfortable arrangement. Try to feel a little frustration about the situation. It is as if you want to convince the brain now that “I do not have any easy way to get a drink of water with my hands.”

  1. Then let it go and rest. Breathe. Forget all about this. Just relax. After a minute or so go back and try to “drink water” with palms arranged in the “bad” or unfamiliar way.

Now, it will be much easier in most cases to make the movement the “hard” way using the more uncomfortable arrangement of hands. If that is not magic I do not know what is!

The surprise of the day is that you did not work with (or pay any attention) to the “bad side” at all! The intervention is magical in this way.

Physical therapists use this technique with stroke patients. They deliberately make the good side and the good movements temporarily restricted with splints or other devices in order to “magically” make the “bad side” better.  If the technique works with stroke patients, it will surely succeed for persons who currently experience Parkinson’s symptoms.

The brain is present, active and intelligent and functional in the “good side” or with the “good movement.” This is where learning can happen – not on the “bad side”.  By “teaching” the good movement to be “bad”, we show the brain how to release that learning, how to release a difficulty just of that exact nature which is transferred automatically over to the “bad side”.

The “bad side” or “bad movement” instantly becomes better without confronting the bad side directly.

  • We do not name the “bad side” or “bad movement” as “wrong” or “bad”.
  • We do not attempt to correct the “bad side” (which is the strategy most people engage).
  • We do not call it to be “wrong” or “stupid”.
  • We do not try to correct it.
  • We do not even think about correcting it.

Neurological diplomacy is an extremely gentle and respectful way of working with the body. That is why it is called Neurological Diplomacy.

In summary, do not declare war on your “bad side” or “bad movement”.  Become diplomatic in your approach. Be respective of your body’s ability to self correct. I will say it one more time. This really is magic at its best.

Betrayal Series free Access Ends Tonight

December 4, 2016 / / 0 Comments

As the title of this post announces, free access to all 7 videos in the Betrayal series ends tonight. I understand he opened up the 7 part series for free viewing for this weekend only. (The series had also been available for free viewing last weekend as well).

You really do not want to miss this. Check out at least the sixth video which focuses on the brain and neurological diseases. The seventh video is also interesting in that the people discussing their recovery have not been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, but about 50% of the symptoms they discuss are the same as would be reported by a person diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I also personally benefited from watching Tom answer questions submitted by viewers.

I have personally found something useful in each of the 7 videos and bet you will too. Taking the time to watch has been a sound investment for me and my entire family. Please send the link below to friends and family who are searching for viable solutions to their health problems.

About the Betrayal Series

 For more information about this awesome series of videos, click on the banner below to watch a 6 minute video about this fascinating new series hosted by Dr. Tom O’Bryan. The content has profound implications for people with Parkinson’s symptoms as well as other illnesses.

Parkinson’s Disease New Treatment

July 21, 2016 / / 1 Comment

Parkinson’s Disease New Treatment

Below is a play by play account of how one man who currently experiences the symptoms of Parkinson’s receives tremendous therapeutic advantage by intentionally making his “good side” worse. This Parkinson’s disease new treatment is counter-intuitive to be sure.

  1. Why in the world would anyone want to make their “good side” worse when they already have one “bad side”?
  2. Wouldn’t you then be straddled with two “bad sides” and not just “one bad” side?

The answer to both questions is “no“. Check out my previous post on “Neurological Diplomacy” to understand why.

This Parkinson’s disease new treatment costs absolutely nothing and insures you are in complete control.

  • No one is doing anything to you.
  • No therapists are required or necessary.
  • This Parkinson’s Disease new treatment is free. 

The example below applies the principle of Neurological Diplomacy to a trembling right arm and hand.  The account was emailed to me by an individual who prefers to remain anonymous.  What follows is the description he emailed to me which I have liberally edited.  He wanted to get this information out to others who experience symptoms of Parkinson’s disease because the approach has been so helpful to him personally.

First of all, I only do this after my cold morning shower when I am already moaning and trembling from the cold water. My body feels energized then too. Other times of the day I do not do this technique. Admittedly it looks weird for someone else to see, so I do this when no one else is watching me.  I’d be too self-conscious to do it in front of an audience. Also, I need high energy to do this technique.

After my cold shower (which is the time of the day when I have high energy)  I make my “good” left hand and arm and “good” left side shake and shudder like the dickens out of control. I literally act like a crazy man. I would not want anyone to see me doing this. They would think I was insane.

I do this maybe 10 to 20 seconds maximum. My thought process goes something like this:

“OK body if you want to see a tremble I will SHOW you a real tremble. You think that pathetic tremble on the right side is something?  Let me show you a real shudder and shake. “

I try to make the left side (my “good side) feel just like the right side. In this space –

  • I am out of control.
  • There is no way to fix this.
  • I am totally frustrated.
  • I am completely disabled and cannot function at all since both sides are trembling to beat the band.
  • Then, I stop, dry myself and dress.

Here is the good news. I have had less or no trembling on the right side (my “bad side”) as the months go by. The length of time with no trembling is increasing.

The outcome varies. Sometimes I get poor results. Usually I get some results. It might be seconds or minutes of no trembling on the right side, but it is usually longer. Sometimes, and increasingly so, all morning until later afternoon, I have little or zero trembling on my right (“bad”) side.

That is the dramatic version that I would never do in public… something that I have made a daily routine as a finish my morning shower. You certainly do not have to be nude to do this. Loose clothing works just as well.

I also practice a scaled down version during the day when I sometimes imitate the right side tremble on the left side with the intention of getting a frustrated feeling about it. My intention is to help my brain work on a correction.

Sometimes I do this “homeopathically” where one cannot even see what I am doing. Or, I create the conditions in my imagination. You do not even see my tremoring on my “good” side.

Admittedly, such efforts do not work as well as my morning shower routine. But each time I do it – bold and brazen or just in the imagination – I always feel currents and shudders along the spine that feel to me like I am “waking up.” Usually, I get seconds or minutes of less or no trembling in the right arm. Intuitively, using such intuition as I have, all this feels to me like the very best thing I am doing for my Parkinson’s symptoms.

Why not give this Parkinson’s Disease new treatment some serious attention? There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. Best of all, this Parkinson’s disease new treatment has no side effects. The only expectation is improvement on some level.

Account of Recovery from Parkinsons

June 24, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Hooray I say. We can all celebrate an account of recovery from Parkinsons. Manfred Poggel is German, but his story is now available in an English book: Parkinson’s disease- How I was Healed Without Chemicals

A brief description of Manfred’s account of recovery from Parkinsons follows:

Poggel shares his experiences with using over 30 different therapies. Moreover, he describes his very personal way to recovery through approaches like de-acidification, meditation, acupuncture, homeopathy and many more. His main concern is to show ways of early detection and prevention.

From 2002 onwards, his Parkinson’s disease became so severe that by 2003 he was no longer able to work. The dreaded diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease was officially confirmed in 2004. He began his search for effective healing at the end of 2006. After phasing out the use of chemical medications, various connections between causes and effects became clear.

He recorded and checked all of the tips he was given and evaluated them for himself. It was a difficult process. It was not easy to choose the therapies that were right for him. Nevertheless, he dared to try them because he always, always had the feeling that he was being guided and that he would become healthy again.

In autumn 2010, he was finally able to stop using his natural therapies. Today he can say that he is healed. He has overcome not only Parkinson’s disease but also all other illnesses from earlier in his life. Over these years he learnt to change his lifestyle and diet.

Dehydration: A Consequence of Hot Weather

June 22, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Dehydration causes serious neurological problems if you do not take action now. Why ask for more problems?

When I ask people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease the question “Do you drink enough water” the answer I hear most often is “no.” This is summer time in the western hemisphere. It is already sizzling hot in many places in the US and elsewhere.

Look out if the neural pathways dry out. The neurological system has to be “wet” and “juicy” to function. Toxins stick to the neurons like glue.

I just recorded a new YouTube video to inspire everyone to drink more water because of the problems in the body that are causes by dehydration. Listen right now to get inspired to hydrate your cells. Say “no” to dehydration today.

Mobility Exercises

June 20, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Many people believe that the solution to mobility challenges is found in finding the right medications or supplements or herbs to take, not with mobility exercises. After an exciting decade of research into the question of what helps people regain excellent mobility, I have drawn the conclusion that medications or supplements or herbs do not offer a long term solution. Something else – something you would have never guessed – does.

I have concluded that practicing the ability to perform more than one task at a time offers welcome benefits to anyone who currently experiences issues with maintaining good balance and also anyone who fears the prospect of falling when walking. Watch my video below to discover mobility exercises that are fun and simple to do.

Robert:

I have read all your books. They are really great. I have had Parkinson’s for five years now and those books have been my crutch. I don’t take any medication and have done it all alternatively. I have used a lot of your ideas and your books are very motivational. I have reversed a lot of my Parkinson’s symptoms. But there is still a few more to do. I don’t listen to your radio show as the time zone is very different. I’m really honored to be in touch with you. Your books are a lifeline to me.

I also wanted to add that your books gave me hope when NONE was around, the only hope friends and family believed in was the medication!!! I just wanted to let you know the great contribution you have made to our/my world. Your books really helped me when I was right right down . I had family and friends but in reality I was alone but I kept rereading your books and taking   small steps. I just kept trying until finally I felt I was on the road to recovery and that’s where I am now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will recover from Parkinson’s, It’ just finding what needs tweaking for me/you being the car mechanic

Thank you again.

Gait Disturbance

June 10, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Gait Disturbance and the Critical Role of New Neural Pathways

I have concluded that after a decade of research, most people believe the way to correct gait disturbances is to keep close watch over the medications and supplements they take. Problems surface when medications (or supplements) no longer work. It is certainly logical to conclude that the problem centers on an issue with the type or dose of medicines.

I disagree with this conclusion.  Even when the underlying causes of a gait disturbance has been addressed and healed (such as clearing out toxins, releasing traumas and eliminating infections) a person is likely to continue to experience gait disturbances. But why is the so?

The body has slipped into some bad habits. The safe and effortless way to move has to be re-remembered. In this video, I highlight a brief clip that demonstrates what one rehabilitation clinic is doing to help the body “re-remember” how to move the right (and upright) way.

Parkinsons Shuffle

June 9, 2016 / / 0 Comments

In a recent Parkinsons Recovery Radio show, Bill Hubert made an interesting observation. People with mobility problems often walk with one long step followed up by a short step. That is to say, the right step is consistently longer than the left (or vice versa). This is described by some observers as a Parkinsons Shuffle. Shuffles can eventually lead to falls.

So much for describing what is a common problem with an abnormality of gait for a surprising number of people. What in the world can be done about this problem?

In this video, Bill Hubert from Bal-A-Vis-X describes a simple therapy that corrects the Parkinsons Shuffle.

What is Bal-A-Vis-X? This is is an exciting program designed and created by Bill Hubert from Wichita, Kansas. I believe his ideas and approach can have a profound influence on the ability of persons who experience Parkinson’s symptoms to find compelling relief.

Do you have difficulty with walking or freezing?

I believe his program offers promise that mobility can be significantly improved.

  • Do you use a walker?

I believe his technology and approach can make you entirely independent again.

  • Do you fall occasionally or often?

I believe his program offers the possibility of reducing if not preventing falls altogether. 

  • Are you currently bound to a wheel chair or fear you will be in the near future?

I believe his program can help you become independently mobile.

Many persons who have issues walking with ease and confidence engage a battle with stuck muscles. They are determined to make their muscles stop behaving badly! When a war is declared on the delicate tissues of body gait issues become even more problematic. Muscles tighten up. The body becomes as rock solid as the Rocky Mountains.

Journey down the Road to Recovery

Michael sent me this update on his journey down the road to recovery and gave me permission to post it here along with his email.”

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

“Hi!

I haven’t written in a long time, so I am going to jump right in.  These are my reflections on my journey down the road to recovery

Crucial context

It is my experience and my belief from research that the human body-mind is innately curative. As long as there is amplemichael day energy (prana, chi) present,
and as long as the body-mind is effectively nurtured and supported in natural, compassionate, and non invasive ways; homeostasis is achieved/reclaimed if that is ultimately what is meant to occur.

At this point, I can no longer see Parkinsons strictly as a disease.

For a certain percentage of the global population, the body-mind reaches a critical mass of chronic illness and for these people their breakdown manifests what we call the symptoms of Parkinsons. What confounds the medical community is that these symptoms display slightly or greatly differently in each person. This is because the critical mass of chronic illness is never going to be the same in each person.
Unless drugs or surgery are chosen as a response to the symptoms of Parkinsons, those of us who are dealing with this situation are basically on our own.
Five years of rigorous research has revealed a number of natural treatments that a (usually) small number of people had used to successfully eliminate the symptoms of Parkinsons. After much due diligence¦I felt intuitionally led to try a number of these approaches. So far, each of my attempts to eliminate the symptoms of Parkinsons have failed. Why?
I suspect now that the critical mass of chronic illness in my body was too different from the critical mass of chronic illness in the bodies of those who had achieved success and/or the scope of the particular treatments I was led to choose was not broad or deep enough to respond to enough of my particular array of imbalances to make a difference.
Some of the blogs created by people who have cleared the symptoms of Parkinsons by natural means often have a statement at the end of their blog entries: DO NOT EVER STOP RESEARCHING AND EXPERIMENTING! As long as I am able I will not!
After reflecting on all the approaches I have tried, a few things became clear. Each time I decided on an approach, usually after much reading, meditating and prayer, emailing, phone, Skype video interviews, etc the chosen direction always seemed comprehensive at that time. However, each time I failed, the experience always taught me where my vision had actually been shortsighted. Being careful at these times to not fall into disappointment, impatience, depression, or self pity…what I learned from each failure was always what partly led me to the next possibility which was always revealed to be more comprehensive.

Where I am now

1. I have just started with a new team: A recently retired neurologist who is also an Ayurvedic physician. A medical doctor who is also an Ayurvedic physician and homeopath and runs an Ayurvedic hospital in India.
I am in an 8 month program utilizing diet, cutting edge nutraceuticals, very strong herbs, and homeopathics. Both practitioners have much experience with clearing the symptoms of Parkinsons. The program will concentrate a lot on the brain/gut connection.
One of the only real longings I have at this point is to return to India.
I would like to live at an Ayurvedic medical hospital/community for 6 months to a year so that I could undergo 5,000 year old profound restorative treatments. I have been to India twice and it has always felt like my true home and also a place of great healing on many levels for me.

2. After 10 months of saving, we can finally purchase a cutting edge machine that produces concentrated molecular hydrogen. Molecular hydrogen produces a hormone called ghrelin in the gut. Clinical trials have shown that increasing ghrelin in the gut has induced remarkable sustainable recovery in many people dealing with the symptoms of Parkinsons.

3. Twice a day, I directly treat my brain by pulsing very strong electromagnets.

4. Radiance Healing

Radiance Healing flows into the mind, body and soul on a fundamental level, providing positive effects in all these areas. This energy pours divine light to the soul and gradually dissolves accumulated negative qualities. Over the course of receiving the energy for one year, the energy permeates into ones system profoundly on the body, mind and soul levels.

Healing Effects

Fatigue & Stress Reduction; Improvement of Migraine, Shoulder & Back Pains, Anxiety, Irritability, and High Blood Pressure; Relief from Climacteric Distress; Recovery from Pre & Post Delivery; Recovery from Surgery; Over All Health Improvement & Health Maintenance; Disease Prevention; Relief Allergic Rhinitis & Other Allergic Symptoms; Improving Various Chronic Symptoms; Boost Vitality & Spirit of People with Chronic Fatigue; Raising the Spiritual Conscious Mind.

Currently Researching 

Endobiogeny

Current Physical Condition

It has been 2 years now since I have been able to leave the condo and take a walk. Thank god 20 minutes on the Chi Machine provides cell aspiration equal to a 1.5 mile brisk walk. I am currently unable to eat, shower, or use the toilet without assistance. Sleeping more than 30-45 minutes at a stretch is rare due to tremor. I have hardly been able to talk for the last 2 years.
Typing is almost impossible. This email took a week to complete.
Mentally/emotionally/spiritually: 

I feel strong, quiet, till totally in love with existence. I feel an ever deepening faith in the infinite mystery of Life. I feel deeply grateful to have been given this life…I am deeply committed to recovering completely if that is meant to be. I spend most nights surrendering totally to the shaking that never stops the relentlessness of the tremor is beautifully shattering the ego and is taking me me deeper and deeper into the heart. While this journey often scared me shitless last year,I no longer feel fearful of wherever this process is taking me.”

Psoriasis

February 21, 2016 / / 4 Comments

Robert-

I can add to what I wrote you last week that an inclined bed therapy benefit is that it is also slowly but definitely clearing up a stubborn case of Psoriasis I have had for months and months on the back of my legs. Varicose veins in my feet also seem to be improving. Arthur Fletcher talks about both of these conditions as potentially benefiting from Inclined Bed Therapy and that has absolutely happened in my case.

Psoriasis is interesting to me in connection with PD because, like Parkinson’s, the cause(s) are basically mysterious/unknown and the treatment options offered by conventional medicine are often ineffective and have harmful side effects. I wonder if anyone has looked to see if there is any correlation between the two diseases? I had no history of Psoriasis until Parkinson’s symptoms emerged. Maybe just a coincidence?

Inclined Bed Therapy for Parkinsons

Now here is a natural, free therapy that may well be worth giving your serious attention. As you can see from the feedback from Bill below. he found it to be useful.

Robert Rodgers PhD
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease 

Hi Robert-

For me Inclined Bed Therapy really shows great promise. I have inclined the bed I sleep in for about a week now and have already seen definite improvement in some areas:

  • Deeper, more restful sleep.
  •  Fewer trips to bathroom at night to pee.
  • Reduced lower leg swelling (edema)–this was an early PD symptom for me although I didn’t know it at the time.

I will send you a more complete report in a couple of weeks when more time has passed and I have more experience with this change.

Thank you so much for bringing this idea to my attention.

Invitation to Join a Support Group for Parkinsons Disease that Focuses on Recovery

January 18, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The 2016 Parkinsons Recovery Support Group

My new support group has a few slots open. You can join an amazing group of individuals from across the globe who are dedicated to exploring ways that help to reverse symptoms of Parkinson’s. Sign-ups include the bonus of free lifetime access to my new Jump Start to Recovery Course.

Sign Me Up to Participate

I hear countless reports from those of you who have been deeply depressed after attending a Parkinson’s support group. If you have set the intention to reverse your symptoms, it is depressing to connect with others who are convinced their condition is destined to “deteriorate” over time. You know this is not true, but no one else in the support group seems to agree with you.

The 2016 Parkinsons Recovery Support Group will convene for the first time next week and continue meeting once a month throughout the year. The persons who have enrolled in the 2016 support group live in countries across the globe.

We will connect by phone or computer each month at either of two designated times each month. For each of our 12 sessions I will report any new discoveries that have helped people get well. I will then connect with each of you individually. Lastly, I will open up the discussion for everyone to talk with one another. All sessions will be recorded for access at a later time.

Here is the greatest deal ever. When you join the 2016 Parkinsons Recovery support group, you will have the opportunity to enroll in my new online Jump Start to Recovery Course for free. I love the platform I am using to support the course because it offers access not just for a year but for a lifetime. How cool is that?

Some of you may already be registered for the course. Great. If you are not currently enrolled in the Jump Start to Recovery course, I will send you a link to register for free after you enroll in the 2016 Parkinsons Recovery support group.

Since you are located in very different time zones, I have scheduled two times each month for the support group to connect: The last Monday of each month at 12:00 noon pacific time USA and the last Tuesday of each month at 8 PM Pacific time USA. This way, everyone will have an opportunity to meet together for the live, in person programs. Sessions will convene starting this month and continue throughout 2016.

Interested? Registration for the 2016 Parkinsons Recovery support group is a mere $10 a month or $120 for the entire year (which includes free enrollment in the Jump Start to Recovery online course) Click on the link below to enroll.

Coconut Oil

January 15, 2016 / / 0 Comments

My name is Wally I’m 23 year old from Australia. My father has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. For the past 6 years we have tried multiple medications; even had surgery where they put a pump to his stomach connected to a needle witch injects him with the medication. Nothing has worked and he is getting worse. I just watched your video about the coconut oil and will get him onto it. Should I just rub his whole body with it head to toe? And make my mum cook food with it?

Thanks a lot

Wally

Hi Wally:

It is exciting to discover there are so many simple therapies that can make a huge difference to people who currently experience the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. For the full scoop on how you can use coconut oil, I recommend that you listen to the recording of my  interview below with Dr. Bruce Fife, ND, who – in my opinion – is the “go to” doctor when it comes to any and all questions about the use of coconut oil (whether applying it to the skin or eating it).

I personally love putting coconut oil all over my body after showers and using it for cooking . Food tastes so delicious when coconut oil is used.

May your father see improvements in his health with each passing day.
