Therapies for Parkinson’s Disease: Part III

Here is a short list of questions I answered on the third part of my Q&A’s this week:

  • What are the best techniques to reverse Parkinson’s?
  • Are probiotics and prebiotics helpful?
  • What about juicing to remove heavy metals like lead?
  • How about taking mucuna for tremors?
  • Is there anything that will stop my tremors?
  • Where does one start when deciding to travel down the road to recovery?
  • What about taking lots of supplements to address the symptoms?
  • I am doing all of the therapies that people say will calm tremors but they continue to increase. Can you recommend a tremor treatment that will help?
  • Is  ketogenic diet useful to address Parkinson’s symptoms or are there other diets that are better? I am confused. There are so many opinions out there!

Unleash Your Power and Wisdom

Most people believe only the “experts” know what is best for them. Should they start taking medicine or have surgery? They think only the doctor knows the right answer. I believe we all know what is best for ourselves, but we give our power away to the “experts.” The result? We make decisions that are not in our best and highest good.

In this three part class I will show you how to::

– Part 1: Tap into your innate ability to know what decisions are in your best and highest good and which ones are not.

– Part 2: Compose a powerful statement of unqualified intention to accomplish your most cherished dreams.

– Part 3: Teach a practical way to sidetrack your ego so that you make the right decision every time.

The one and only expert you need to rely on is your own inner wisdom. You are the one and only one who knows what is best for you. No one else. This course provides strategies that help you get in touch with your inner wisdom, unleash your full power and assume full and complete control over your life.

Please note: This class is part of a 3-part series. It is recommended that Class 1 be taken prior to taking the other two classes. Enrollment is limited to 8 students. This is a new technology where we will all be able to see one another.

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.

Watch the video preview below for a brief overview of the resources that you can now access as a member.

The idea behind memberships is to offer an infusion of positive support and energy for your recovery each and every day and week. I encourage each of you to visit the member websites every weekday.

Tremors are an Asset for Alan Babbitt – Not a Liability

I genuinely enjoyed interviewing Fine Art Photographer and Musician Alan Babbitt this week on Parkinsons Recovery Radio. As I report during the interview, I never get tired of seeing one of Alan’s images which appears on the cover of my book Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease. Since I have been updating the book over the past 4 months, I have seen the image at least 5 times a day! It really is a stunning image. I am so glad I bought the rights to use it as the cover of my book.

Even if you are not a photographer or musician I encourage you to take an hour out of your day to hear my interview with Alan. He offers rich insights on how he has maintained a vibrant, healthy lifestyle. Best of all, Alan does not view his own tremor as a liability but as an asset to his photography. He also offers a compelling discussion of how he reversed his own depression.

To hear the interview, click on the radio show page icon which, as you know, appears down the right hand column of this page. The replay is posted at the top of the member Radio Show page since I just aired the program this week.

For Men: One Way to Get Uninterrupted Sleep at Night

Some people with Parkinson’s symptoms get so little sleep at night that they are miserable day in and day out. Sleep is a prerequisite to healing. If you are a man, I have three questions for you:

  1. When sleeping do you wake up because of an urgency to pee?
  2. Do you make frequent visits to the bathroom at night?
  3. Does waking up not only interrupt your sleep at night but make it difficult to get back to sleep?

If the answer is yes to these three questions, investigate further a product called Conveen offered by Coloplast.us with product listing at: https://www.coloplast.us/Conveen-Optima-en-us.aspx

Recommended by some nurses who specialize in therapies for Parkinson’s, it is a rubber sheath (similar to a Condom) which attaches to a plastic bag which in turn is attaches to your leg when you sleep. When the urgency to pee arises, you do not have to get out of bed and visit the bathroom.

This has been a welcome solution for Steve who found the Conveen made it possible for him to get a restful night sleep because he no longer had to get up 4-6 times even night to pee. I wish there were a product like the Conveen for women but no such solution exists to my knowledge.

Test for Mold and Micro Toxins

During our support group meeting today Barbara discussed her discovery that her symptoms were caused by excessive mold in her house. There was interest in the group in knowing the name of the test her doctor used to determine the presence of mold in her body. Barbara emailed me this information this afternoon:

The mold test is a urine test for mold and micro toxins from Realtime labs.
