Stochastic Resonance Therapy for Parkinsons

Stochastic Resonance Therapy (SRT) was born in the German city of Frankfurt when Dietmar Schmidtbleicher developed a new training device for Olympic athletes. Since then, the whole-body vibration device he developed has been studied and shown to be effective in the treatment of Parkinson’s motor symptoms. While you may have already heard of the benefits of vibration therapy and Parkinson’s, chances are you haven’t heard of SRT until now.

SRT is different from other types of vibration devices. It delivers randomized and non-uniform oscillations and perturbations to the body, whereas all other devices on the market deliver uniform, sinusoidal vibrations. The random nature of SRT vibrations elicits the automatic stretch reflex in the muscles, which leads to postural adjustments being made in the spinal cord and the cerebellum (the part of the brain that automatically adjusts movement patterns). These adjustments keep the head still and the body upright while on the device. Hundreds to thousands of stimuli are delivered to the spinal cord and cerebellum in a matter of minutes.

In the literature, SRT has been shown to decrease tremor and rigidity, improve postural control and balance, and lead to better gait patterns in Parkinsons patients. For further information contact:

Parkinsons Dis. 2016:2016:7948721. Postural Stability in Parkinson’s Disease Patients Is Improved after Stochastic Resonance Therapy

Abstract

Background. Postural instability in Parkinson’s disease (PD) increases the risk of falls and is not improved by pharmacological therapy. Objective. We performed a double-blind, randomized sham-controlled study to test the effects of stochastic resonance (whole body vibration) therapy on postural stability in PD.

Methods. Fifty-six PD participants were allocated to either experimental or sham groups. The experimental group received four series of vibration over eight days, with each series consisting of six stimulus trains of 60-second duration using a randomized whole body vibration. Participants allocated to the control group received a sham treatment.

Results. Within-group analysis revealed that postural stability in the experimental group improved by 17.5% (p = 0.005) comparing experimental and sham groups. The between-group analysis of change after treatment comparing both groups also showed a significant improvement of postural stability (p = 0.03). Only in the within-group analysis several items were improved after Bonferroni correction, too, rigor 41.6% (p = 0.001), bradykinesia 23.7% (p = 0.001), tremor 30.8% (p = 0.006), and UPDRSIII sum score 23.9% (p = 0.000), but did not reach the level of significance in the between-group analysis.

Conclusions. Stochastic resonance therapy significantly enhanced postural stability even in individuals with increased risk of falling. Thus it offers a potential supplementation to canonical treatments of PD.

NAC as Therapy for Parkinson’s

N-Acetylcysteine  (NAC) is relatively inexpensive supplement that supports that bodys natural ability to produce glutathione. Glutathione is one of the bodys most important and effective antioxidants.

Persons with Parkinsons have significant oxidative stress which depletes levels of glutathione. This, in part, explains why they tend to have a significant deficiency of glutathione.

Research studies find that NAC has been effective as a therapy for injuries to the brain in general as well as a therapy for addressing symptoms of Parkinsons.

Dozens of natural therapies are documented at my online course What Really Matters.

PEMF – Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Frequency Therapy for Parkinsons

Natural Pharmcist Ross Pelton discusses the impressive body of research which has focused on PEMF therapies to address a variety of symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinsons. Ross offers an overview of the over 10,000 articles and 2,000 clinical trials have been published on PEMF. PEFM medical devices are used daily in over 4,000 European hospitals & clinics but have not yet been accepted as a standard therapy in most US medical settings.

Health benefits of PEMFs are extensive. It results in improved circulation in the bodys 70,000 miles of micro-capillaries. PEMF:

  1. Penetrates the body.
  2. Causes micro-capillaries to contract or pulsate at a faster rate.
  3. Delivers more blood supply, oxygen & nutrients to all cells via the 70,000 miles of micro-capillaries in the body.

Virtually everything in the body begins to function better when cells get more oxygen & nutrients and improved removal of cellular wastes.

New X-Plus Light Therapy from Vielight

Click the arrow below to hear an interview with Vielight’s CEO and inventor Dr. Lew Lim who discusses his new X-Plus photobiomodulation device invention.

I want to make sure everyone knows about its availability in light of success with the previous Vielight Neuro Gamma device. First, I will offer a brief report on user’s experience with using the Neuro Gamma device which is why I am excited about Dr. Lim’s new invention – the X-Plus.

Neuro Gamma Device

Over seventy (70) members of my Parkinsons Recovery audience purchased and used the Vielight Neuro Gamma device over the past year. The exciting news for me has been that it was one of the most frequently mentioned therapies reported to be helpful in responses to my 2018 Holiday Survey.

Vielight representatives tell me that only 1 out of 10 units were returned for an 80% refund. Nine out of ten users found the device to be beneficial. My conclusion: The Neuro Gamma has helped most – but not all users. Odds of success are clearly in your favor.

X-Plus

The new X-Plus Vielight device can be used in conjunction with the Neuro Gamma to irradiate the posterior brain with light. If you are already getting good results with using the Vielight Neuro Gamma device, consider using the X-Plus along with the Neuro Gamma. It just might provide a welcome boast to symptom relief.

The X-Plus can also be used as an independent device. The great news of the day is that the cost of the new X-Plus device is half the cost of the Neuro Gamma. The company has again agreed to offer members of Parkinsons Recovery a 10% discount on the X-Plus (as they did for the Neuro Gamma).

To claim the discount enter the coupon code healing4me on the shopping cart. If you call in your order, simply tell the representative you are with Parkinsons Recovery.

I have no hesitation encouraging as many of you as possible to try the new X-Plus Device out. How come?

First, the Neuro Gamma has been a success. I am betting the X-Plus will follow suit. Dr. Lim is an amazing inventor.

Second, the company offers an 80% refund for any unit that is returned within six months of use. This gives you time to see if the therapy will prove helpful. The financial risk of trying it out is minimal since you are assured of getting 80% of your investment back.

More information about the new X-Plus Light Therapy device can be found on the Vielight website:

John Coleman ND Answers Questions about Recovery

My research over the past decade documents the stories of recovery of many individuals who have been successful in reversing some if not all of their Parkinson’s symptoms. More than 70 replays of interviews with these pioneers of recovery are available as replays here on the Parkinsons Recovery member radio show page. One early story of recovery was reported by John Coleman who was one of the first persons to successfully reverse his Parkinson’s symptoms during the mid 1990s.

Given his own experience with recovery. Dr. Coleman is in the ideal position to help others traveling down the road to recovery. During this program he discusses and responds to the following questions:

  • What was most helpful to you in your own recovery process?
  • My wife has been anemic just after experiencing Parkinsons symptoms. Her iron levels are too low. What steps should she take to remedy this situation?
  • Can I give my mother B12 vitamins for her condition?
  • How does one deal with orthostatic hypotension (or low blood pressure)?
  • I have tried many therapies over the past five years but the Parkinsons symptoms continue to progress. What supplements have you found that help the most?
  • How can I get the best movement possible with the least amount of medications?
  • What will carbidopa help and what will it not help?
