Therapies for Parkinsons Disease – Part II

This is the second of a Q&A series where I answer your questions. Some of the questions I will address on this program are:

  • What is cause of tremors?
  • Do most people diagnosed with Parkinson’s have a compromised substantia nigra as revealed by tests or autopsies?
  • Why does vibration therapy help reduce symptoms?
  • What are the best techniques for reducing symptoms?
  • Are probiotics and prebiotics helpful?
  • What about mucuna pruriens as a treatment?
  • Doing everything recommended to calm tremors but they keep getting worse. What is going on?

A Major League Pitcher’s Perspective on Recovery

I interviewed Tom House today on the radio show. The interview is posted here on the radio show member page. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease about five years ago.

Tom has a unique perspective on the “process” of recovery. Note that I used the word “process” not “outcome”. Tom explains that when athletes focus on the “outcome” they want – i.e., winning the game – their performance sinks and they are more likely to lose.

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

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

Tom is rolling out a new program that sounds interesting to me, but it obviously is the early stages of a roll out. Be on the lookout for future announcements.

Why Recovery Stumbles


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Series Consequence of Being Re-Traumatized

I provide consultations to persons searching for natural options that offer the promise of helping reverse their symptoms. During many conversations recently, I have heard too many horror stories of what health care practitioners have told people is the “truth” about recovery. I must convey these stories are chilling because they only wind up re-traumatizing you.

All of the horror stories fall into the category of being told you have no choice but to accept the fact you are going to get worse over time. I will not repeat what I have heard, but I suspect you have been told similar stories of doom and gloom.

It seems some health care practitioners get a kick out of scaring people. They have no evidence to back up their false claims. They obviously do not know you or your body! They obviously do not know what will happen to you! Worse of all, they are simply re-traumatizing you. They are doing you serious harm.

I say to you on this day and hour, do not buy into these false predictions. They only become true if you believe what you have been told by someone who is presumably an “expert.”

  • Know in your heart, mind and soul that recovery can and will happen.
  • Celebrate the stories of other people who have succeeded.
  • Honor your own successes with returning to health and wellness.

Oxygen is the Key to Recovery

Hi from Houston, Texas

I have been staying in Houston Texas this past week interviewing Dr Donald Rhodes MD, inventor of the Vecttor technology. I have posted tonight one of my interviews on the radio show page here on the membership Radio Show website. I believe Dr. Rhodes has created a way to oxygenate the cells which is fundamental to a successful recovery.

Be sure also to listen to the replay of my discussion today during the initial minutes of our February support group (if you have not already done so). I offer a brief overview of this innovative technology. The replay is posted on the Support Group website here on the membership websites.

  • Vecttor is not a quick fix.
  • You have to do the therapy every day. It takes about an hour and a half.
  • Vecttor is not invasive and does not hurt.
  • From what I have seen first hand Vecttor treatments calm the sympathetic nervous system which overpowers the parasympathetic nervous system. The problem with Parkinson’s is the sympathetic nervous system is running full blast all the time. It is no wonder people run out of energy and oxygen!

If you have the resources, I believe this is a therapy worth giving serious consideration (and I rarely make such a recommendation).
