Is there a link between dehydration and Parkinsons symptoms? The answer is clearly yes. Staying well hydrated is crucial for individuals who experience Parkinsons symptoms.
Dehydration is the excessive loss of body fluids. While it may seem unrelated to Parkinson’s disease at first glance, emerging research suggests otherwise. Dehydration can exacerbate symptoms and potentially accelerate the progression of Parkinson’s in several ways:
It is clearly important for individuals who experience symptoms of Parkinson’s to make hydration a top priority. Some options for staying adequately hydrated:
While dehydration may seem like a minor concern compared to the myriad of challenges confronted by persons who experience Parkinson’s symptoms, its impact on the inability of the body to excrete toxins should inform decisions on recovery therapies. Taking proactive steps to stay hydrated, individuals with PD get the opportunity to potentially celebrate symptom relief and improve their quality of life. Stay hydrated to stay healthy!

Healing from the Inside Out
No doubt you will encounter many fund raising campaigns that support the cause to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Can Parkinsons be cured? Will a cure ever be discovered?
I will offer my answer to this question which may surprise you, but first let’s consider what is being intended. No one would ever make a comparison of the body to concrete. Do you want your body to be cured just like concrete is cured? I think not.
Nor have I ever heard anyone compare the body to bacon. Do we really want our body to be cured just like we cure bacon? I think not.
Of course, if the goal is to raise money it makes sense to pitch the cause in terms of a cure. After all, don’t we all want a simple fix that will reverse all neurological symptoms? Well yes, of course we do.
The answer to the question – can Parkinsons be cured – is one you will not want to hear. The answer is no. It will never be “cured” this year, ten years from now or one hundred years from now. Besides, hello? Who wants their body to be “cured” like concrete or bacon anyway?
Why do I make this bold statement? There are a multitude of factors that cause symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s. Most people experience a combination of causes which trigger their symptoms. Toxins are a primary culprit as is stress, trauma and infections.
It is possible to remove toxins from the body with proven chelation techniques, but this is a remedy for toxins that are embedded at the cellular level. It is not a “cure” for Parkinson’s. It is possible to release trauma that is embedded at the cellular level, but this would be a resolution for trauma that contributes to symptoms.
This is a roundabout way of explaining the “disease” called Parkinson’s is what we researchers call a garbage can diagnosis. It includes a wide variety of causes.
Identifying yourself with a label like Parkinson’s disease results in embracing a belief no relief is possible and that the condition is – hold on to your seat here – progressive. If you have the diagnosis, you are 100% destined to get worse. Really I say?
There will never be a cure for Parkinson’s disease but believe me when I say you would never want that. You certainly do not want your body to harden up like concrete or cured like bacon. When the cause or combination of causes are identified and appropriate treatments embraced to address them, a successful journey down the road to recovery is possible, not tomorrow when a “cure” is found, but now.
There is no reason to hope for a cure when actions can be taken today that offer welcome relief from symptoms. A successful approach to recovery is to set the intention to heal from the inside out. Check out my online course which offers the opportunity to do just that.

You will be inspired by listening to my interview this week with Alice Holstein who discusses her remarkable recovery from chronic illness.
Alice A. Holstein, Ed.D was diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder at the age of 51, which interrupted her career and produced some 12 years of intense suffering with many manic episodes, many hospitalizations, thousands of dollars spent and overall, a bleak prognosis of recovery. She lives now, as an elder, with a full if careful life of extraordinary wellness despite still being on medication. She has a dramatic story to share about how she developed a revolutionary understanding of mental health recovery which she believes can be at least partially related to recovery with Parkinsons.
In her presentation she will explain this potential correlation by first enumerating the comparisons, such as that she too was given a bleak prognosis and told that heavy medication was required. She also understands that Parkinson’s can often produce depression in those who suffer. Her thoughts can help people specifically deal with that diagnosis. Alice believes that illness in general should be treated as a whole person approach—holistically, to include mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and social aspects. The medical profession does not proceed in this fashion. She accidentally discovered this more complete framework and has developed specific understandings that may be helpful to those dealing with Parkinsons. She also believes that recovery is partly a matter of developing one’s higher consciousness.
Her ideas and words will likely challenge, inspire and encourage the listeners on this broadcast to continue and add to the kinds of things they already are doing to improve their conditions vs. degenerate. Her example serves as a beacon of hope to living a healthier life regardless of one’s diagnosis, going beyond present practices to achieve stronger wellness and increased satisfaction. There are no panaceas, however. The climb and the journey can be a difficult one. Having vision and encouragement, however are critical to success. Intention is everything. You must want to be healthier and work at it over time.
Her website is www.aliceholstein.net (link provided by her website developer) Her books are shown on the slide for this show. Note that BEYOND TURMOIL was written under her married name, Alice Mack.
Here are the questions Alice answers:
What do you think are the major comparison’s between dealing with Parkinsons and dealing with mental illness? Why can this framework be a potentially helpful recovery correlation?
What is the essence of your dramatic recovery story and how you gained your expertise?
What are some of the specific things you did to get well?
Why is the brain so important in healing?
*Note: Alice’s website at www.aliceholstein has an article, “Heal Yourself and You Heal the Culture” which is pertinent. Go to the “site map” and look for this title. See also another title, “Things Helpers and Helpees Can Do.”
What part did going back to work at age 65 have to do with your recovery?
What role might volunteering or otherwise minimal work contribute to recovery?
What part did participating in a Spiritual Companioning Preparation program (3 years) contribute?
What do you mean by “The Hero’s Journey” and why it may be important to wellness?
What do you mean by saying that a Parkinson diagnosis and mental illness are whole person illnesses?
What do you mean by saying that suffering can be a purifying experience?
How did you manage to survive while living periodically on the streets in your 60s?
How do you maintain your wellness?
How much do you estimate your illness cost?
What was the hardest aspect of your illness that you dealt with?
What is the largest gift you’ve received from surviving and thriving?
What are your 2 books about mental illness and will they help me deal with Parkinsons? What about the 1992 book, written under my married name, Mack? Does it possibly relate as well?

In the vast landscape of traditional acupuncture, there exists a fascinating and lesser-
known practice known as Chinese scalp acupuncture. While acupuncture itself is widely recognized and practiced worldwide, scalp acupuncture presents a unique approach to healing that targets specific areas of the scalp to address various ailments and promote overall wellness. In this blog, I will cover the origins, techniques, and potential benefits of Chinese scalp acupuncture.
Chinese scalp acupuncture, also referred to as “head acupuncture” or “cranial acupuncture,” has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine but gained prominence in the 20th century through the work of Dr. Jiao Shunfa, a renowned acupuncturist in China. Dr. Jiao developed a systematic approach to scalp acupuncture based on traditional principles combined with modern neurological principles.
Scalp acupuncture facilitates the flow of Qi (vital energy) through the various meridians in the body. By stimulating specific points on the scalp, acupuncturists regulate the flow of Qi and blood, restore balance, and promote the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Unlike traditional body acupuncture, which utilizes points along the body’s meridians, scalp acupuncture focuses primarily on the scalp, targeting specific zones that correspond to different areas and functions of the body. These zones are mapped out on the scalp, and practitioners insert fine needles into designated points with precision.
The selection of points and the depth of needle insertion can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s constitution. Additionally, scalp acupuncture may be combined with other TCM modalities such as herbal medicine, cupping, or moxibustion to enhance its therapeutic effects.
Chinese scalp acupuncture offers a wide range of benefits for various physical, neurological, and emotional conditions. Some potential benefits include:
Chinese scalp acupuncture represents a unique and effective approach to healing that combines ancient wisdom with modern understanding. Many individuals have experienced significant relief and improvements in their health and well-being through this practice.
Front Neurol. 2023 Jun 2:14:1196446. Research methods and efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease: a scoping review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Introduction: Research on acupuncture for Parkinson’s Disease is growing rapidly. A scoping review examines emerging evidence and is important to guide policy and practice. The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the breadth and methodological quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and to map the quality of evidence of these studies to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture for treatment of PD.
Methods: Seven literature databases were searched. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted relevant information (such as general characteristics, inclusion criteria, study results, and report quality).The inclusion criteria include publicly published systematic reviews/meta-analyses/systematic reviews of acupuncture treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
The research subjects are any patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for Parkinson’s disease, and intervention measures include acupuncture treatment including electro acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, or combination with other treatment methods. The outcome indicators are all types of results related to PD and the effective measurement tools used.
Results: A total of 23 systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses of studies were included. Most of the articles were published between 2019 and 2023 (47.8%). A total of 14 articles (60.9%) were evaluated and classified, and 89 (36.8.1%) of the 242 included articles were of medium and high quality.
Discussion: This study comprehensively evaluates the quality and research methods of incorporating SRs/MAs, and concludes that acupuncture treatment for Parkinson’s disease may be significant.

A loudly pronounced belief is that Parkinson’s is a degenerative condition. People who espouse this belief never offer evidence for its veracity. I interviewed naturopath Daniel Newman, ND in 2009 who provided information about the recovery of his patients who experienced the neurological conditions associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s.
Note: Information about the potential for recovery was well known 15 years ago. People still believe it cannot be true!

My name is Bill Curtis. I have had PD since 2010. I would be able to address the symptoms that improved and the mechanisms I believe are behind the improvement of my symptoms. I was raising my beta hydroxybutyrate levels through intermittent fasting with exercise, and also through overnight fasting with MCT and Kerry gold and coconut oil. I have also had a 10 trial of Dr. Veechs ester. I would be happy to share my experience with you.
One thing that particularly impressed me about the results were the effect of the treatments on pain that only appears when I am off.
When I am off and go for a walk, I get about 50 yards into the walk and my back starts to hurt. I go another 50 yards and I start to bend over in pain. Oddly enough when I am on, I never have this problem.
I call this PD related pain, because it correlates with my other PD symptoms. I tracked every hour of every day I was awake and would ask, “Did I have PD related pain in the last hour? The answer on days without raising ketone levels was frequently yes, I had pain in the last hour. The answer on both the coffee and the Veech ester was never. This was a very surprising result that I had not expected. The same could be said of my dystonia.
I have so many friends who suffer from pain associated with PD and I think this approach is worth trying if you have pain caused by PD.
My Mom and a few others with PD have tried the coffee with organic cream, Kerry gold butter, coconut oil. MCT oil and Stevia, and all who have had PD and taken the coffee report a great deal of symptom relief.
All the best,
Bill Curtis

What is the most significant step that leads to reversal of Parkinson’s symptoms?
Answer: Reduce anxiety
But wait here you say. I have done everything imaginable to get my anxiety under control but with little success.
A little known solution that supports the parasympathetic nervous system (which is the key to reducing anxiety) is to stimulate and cleanse the vagus nerve. What is the big deal about the vagus nerve?
Its function has a direct impact on brain health. This nerve wonders through every organ including the digestive system, lungs and even the heart. Toxins not only clog the vagus nerve, they contaminate the brain and other organs as well.
Essential oil therapists recommend specific oils to cleanse the vagus like clove. Therapies are recommended to stimulate the vagus nerve with acupressure that apply gentle pressure to the nerve itself.
Just introduced is a novel therapy that stimulates vagus nerve function – a Vagus photobiomodulation (light therapy) device from Vielight. I predict the Vagus device will prove successful in taming down the sympathetic nervous system which will reduce anxieties and anxiety attacks. This in turn will lead to a symptom relief.
1.Get anxiety under control.
2. A reduction in the severity of symptoms results.
Check it out this out especially if you know anxiety is problematic for you. I predict this new invention will offer welcome relief for many.

The Lightwave company has invented a patch that activates stem cells. You apply the X39 patch to your body 12 hours each day. Patches are designed to trap infrared light energy when placed on the body. They secret a peptide called GHK that “wakes up” dormant stem cells. No drugs or chemicals enter the body.
Below is a link to a youtube presentation by the inventor of the X39 Lifewave patches David Schmidt:

Brain Sci. 2017 Feb 15;7(2):20. The Effect of the Human Peptide GHK on Gene Expression Relevant to Nervous System Function and Cognitive Decline.Loren Pickart, Jessica Michelle Vasquez-Soltero, Anna Margolina
Abstract
Neurodegeneration, the progressive death of neurons, loss of brain function, and cognitive decline is an increasing problem for senior populations. Its causes are poorly understood and therapies are largely ineffective. Neurons, with high energy and oxygen requirements, are especially vulnerable to detrimental factors, including age-related dysregulation of biochemical pathways caused by altered expression of multiple genes. GHK (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine) is a human copper-binding peptide with biological actions that appear to counter aging-associated diseases and conditions.
GHK, which declines with age, has health promoting effects on many tissues such as chondrocytes, liver cells and human fibroblasts, improves wound healing and tissue regeneration (skin, hair follicles, stomach and intestinal linings, boney tissue), increases collagen, decorin, angiogenesis, and nerve outgrowth, possesses anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-pain and anti-anxiety effects, increases cellular stemness and the secretion of trophic factors by mesenchymal stem cells.
Studies using the Broad Institute Connectivity Map show that GHK peptide modulates expression of multiple genes, resetting pathological gene expression patterns back to health. GHK has been recommended as a treatment for metastatic cancer, Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, inflammation, acute lung injury, activating stem cells, pain, and anxiety. Here, we present GHK’s effects on gene expression relevant to the nervous system health and function.
Biomed Res Int. 2014:2014:151479. GHK and DNA: resetting the human genome to health. Loren Pickart, Jessica Michelle Vasquez-Soltero, Anna Margolina
Abstract
During human aging there is an increase in the activity of inflammatory, cancer promoting, and tissue destructive genes plus a decrease in the activity of regenerative and reparative genes. The human blood tripeptide GHK possesses many positive effects but declines with age. It improves wound healing and tissue regeneration (skin, hair follicles, stomach and intestinal linings, and boney tissue), increases collagen and glycosaminoglycans, stimulates synthesis of decorin, increases angiogenesis, and nerve outgrowth, possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and increases cellular stemness and the secretion of trophic factors by mesenchymal stem cells.
Recently, GHK has been found to reset genes of diseased cells from patients with cancer or COPD to a more healthy state. Cancer cells reset their programmed cell death system while COPD patients’ cells shut down tissue destructive genes and stimulate repair and remodeling activities. In this paper, we discuss GHK’s effect on genes that suppress fibrinogen synthesis, the insulin/insulin-like system, and cancer growth plus activation of genes that increase the ubiquitin-proteasome system, DNA repair, antioxidant systems, and healing by the TGF beta superfamily. A variety of methods and dosages to effectively use GHK to reset genes to a healthier state are also discussed.

Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease
There is a strong view among adventurous healthcare professionals that Parkinsons disease is not a distinct, separate disease, but one possible set of symptoms arising from one or more causes that create a degenerative process.
Other diseases that may arise from these causes include Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Multiple System Atrophy, Motor Neurone Disease/ALS, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Cardiovascular disease, Alzheimers disease, Dementia, Type 2 Diabetes, certain cancers, and many others.
When viewed in this way, likely causes become clearer and treatment options widen dramatically. Modern research is now showing significant benefits from folk medicine and anxient remedies like food choices, appropriate hydration, dancing, singing, gentle detoxification activities, self-love and meditation.

In recent years, stem cell technology has made significant strides, capturing the imagination of both the medical community and the general public. Among the latest innovations in this field are X39 stem cell patches, which promise to revolutionize health and wellness through a novel approach.
X39 stem cell patches are a type of wearable technology designed to leverage the body’s natural healing processes. Developed by LifeWave, these patches are infused with specific peptides and bioelectrical signals purported to activate stem cell production and rejuvenate the body’s cells.
Unlike traditional stem cell therapies, which often involve invasive procedures or costly treatments, X39 patches offer a non-invasive and cost-effective alternative. The patches are designed to be worn on the skin, where they interact with the body’s electromagnetic field to promote cellular regeneration and overall wellness.
The science behind X39 stem cell patches is based on a combination of bioelectrical stimulation and peptide technology. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how they work:
Ian kindly gave me permission to post his experience using the X39 stem cell patches. His report follows.
I have had to 2 large squamous cell carcinomas removed in the past which, unlike others like them, did not respond to a cream I use. One was taken off by a surgeon under an anesthetic where I was conscience but didn’t feel the surgery. Recently another one appeared but this time the cream worked perfectly! I had not long started on the X39 patches at that stage.
I have a dark patch on my face which look a bit like a melanoma which has been shrinking since I started using the X39 patches.
My taste and smell certainly seems to be in proving. I had to go back to an old liquid B complex and found it extremely bad tasting. I always tolerated it well before.
One guy who buys through me as product partner who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Osteoarthritis. He reported that within 15 minutes of putting on the patch he could feel less pain in his left knee and it has continued to improve. He said that his PD has changed with not as much dribbling and a slight improvement in tremors.

Does CBD (or cannabidiol oil) offer relief from symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?
Reports from members of the Parkinsons Recovery audience say that taking CBD oil before bedtime facilitates sound and sustained sleep. This was motivation enough for me to examine 2023 studies that evaluated CBD as a treatment for Parkinsons symptoms.
Two review studies that summarize the results of research that evaluated the impact of CBD reported positive effects for anxiety, improvement of sleep quality and Parkinson’s symptoms in general.
Abstracts of the two recent review studies are reported below.
Abstract
The use of cannabidiol (CBD) for therapeutic purposes is receiving considerable attention, with speculation that CBD can be useful in a wide range of conditions. Only one product, a purified form of plant-derived CBD in solution (Epidiolex), is approved for the treatment of seizures in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex.
The areas in which there is the most clinical evidence to support the use of CBD are in the treatment of anxiety (positive data in 7 uncontrolled studies and 17 randomised controlled trials (RCTs)), psychosis and schizophrenia (positive data in 1 uncontrolled study and 8 RCTs), PTSD (positive data in 2 uncontrolled studies and 4 RCTs) and substance abuse (positive data in 2 uncontrolled studies and 3 RCTs). Seven uncontrolled studies support the use of CBD to improve sleep quality, but this has only been verified in one small RCT.
Limited evidence supports the use of CBD for the treatment of Parkinson’s (3 positive uncontrolled studies and 2 positive RCTs), autism (3 positive RCTs), smoking cessation (2 positive RCTs), graft-versus-host disease and intestinal permeability (1 positive RCT each).
Current RCT evidence does not support the use of purified oral CBD in pain (at least as an acute analgesic) or for the treatment of COVID symptoms, cancer, Huntington’s or type 2 diabetes.
In conclusion, published clinical evidence does support the use of purified CBD in multiple indications beyond epilepsy. However, the evidence base is limited by the number of trials only investigating the acute effects of CBD, testing CBD in healthy volunteers, or in very small patient numbers.
Abstract
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a serious neurodegenerative condition impacting many individuals worldwide. There is a need for new non-invasive treatments of PD. Cannabinoids in the form of cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) may offer utility as treatment, and our objective was hence to conduct a systematic review regarding the clinical evidence for the efficacy and safety of cannabinoids in treating PD.
Methods: Screening, data extraction, and quality assessments were all conducted by multiple reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by consensus.
Results: After conducting searches in 4 different databases, 673 articles were screened. Thirteen articles were deemed eligible for inclusion in this review. It was shown that cannabis, CBD, and nabilone (a synthetic form of THC) were capable of consistently improving motor symptoms more than a placebo. All treatments improved various non-motor symptoms, particularly with cannabis improving pain intensity, and CBD improving psychiatric symptoms in a dose-dependent manner. Adverse effects were usually minor, and, in the case of CBD, rare (except at very high doses).
Conclusion: Cannabinoids have been shown to safely offer important potential in treating motor symptoms in PD and some non-motor symptoms. More large-scale randomized control trials for specific forms of cannabinoid treatments are required to determine their overall efficacy.
Studies report that CBD may well offer the opportunity to get temporary relief from symptoms. This is a valuable benefit in itself. When energy focus and motivation return, the business of taking the actions necessary to heal from the inside out can begin at long last.
As with any natural treatment option, be sure to check with your doctor to insure that use. of CBD will not interfere with any treatments your doctor has prescribed for you.
