Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy

Today I hosted a fascinating radio show interview with Natural Pharmacist Ross Pelton PhD and David Sage who discussed the impressive research documenting the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for treatment of a wide variety of symptoms. If your recovery program is stuck in the mud at the present moment, I encourage you to listen to the replay of this informative interview .

All About Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy and the Bemer

This 2 1/2 minute video demonstrates the perfusion of capillaries during the course of a Bemer treatment. White white blood cells (leukocytes) are increased, red blood cells are disassembled and blood flow in dramatically increased.

Research on pulsed electromagnetic field therapy reports a series of positive outcomes including modulation of inflammation, reduction of pain, promotion of tissue repair and regeneration, improvement of neurological and cardiac functions, reduction of fatigue, acceleration of recovery from strokes and support of detoxification. These positive outcomes might clearly have a positive benefit for persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Is Parkinson’s Degenerative?

Many people hold the belief near and dear to their heart that Parkinson’s disease is “degenerative.” Is this really true? Has anyone out there actually reversed their symptoms and if they have, how did they do it?

The radio show today answers these questions. First, I report results of a holiday survey which asks persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease whether they were better, the same or worse now when compared to the holiday season a year ago.As you will discover by listening to a detailed discussed of the results, a vast majority of respondents reported they were better or the same relative to one year ago. In other words, the first answer to the question is no. Parkinson’s is not “degenerative” for many people.

OK. What did people do to get better? I report and discuss each answer to the second question in the survey: What therapies were helping? You will be excited to learn that there are dozens of therapies that are making a big difference for people currently experiencing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Functional Medicine: a New Paradigm in Medicine

Dr. Jennifer Kessman MD discusses how to heal from disease. Functional Medicine has been around for a number of years and began with Dr. Jeffery Bland’s motivation to look at medicine in a different way. Now the field of Functional Medicine is ever expanding and a center at the Cleveland Clinic has opened its doors for care. It is becoming more widely accepted and parts of functional medicine have been integrated into a wide variety of disciplines in medicine.

Here is a list of questions she answered during my interview with her:

1. What is Functional Medicine?
2. How did you come to get involved in Functional Medicine?
3. What are the root causes of disease?
4. So, if inflammation is the basis of disease how does functional medicine help with inflammation?
5. Tell me about your experience with Environmental Medicine?
6. Dr. Dale Bredesen and others have found ways to reverse early brain dysfunction and reverse dementia. How are they doing this?
7. Do you think this can apply to Parkinson’s?
8. The immune system is a big actor in most diseases we know- how can we calm our immune system?
9. What has been your experience with environmental impact of electromagnetic fields and brain dysfunction?
10. What is the influence of stress on disease?

Laser Therapy

Click the arrow below to hear my interview with Dr. Gair that discusses laser therapy as treatment for Parkinson’s and other conditions:

Dr Gair, my guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio today, shared the exciting research that reports how cold laser therapy can be beneficial for patients with Parkinson’s in various stages of the disease. Cold laser therapy, also known as “photobiomodulation”, is beneficial by:

  • Stimulating improved function of the mitochondria
  • Stimulating neuronal stem cells, increased ATP production
  • Increasing brain derived neurotrophic factor
  • Dampening inflammation
  • Promoting nitric oxide and glutathione production
  • Modulating immune activity

The best thing about the therapy is that when the appropriate laser is used there are virtually zero side effects. It can be part of a program of functional neurological rehabilitation under the care of a trained professional or can also be done at home by the patient on a regular basis. This therapy can also be used preventatively in patients with a genetic predisposition for the disease as well.

The laser device requires a prescription from a doctor. It is best if you find a doctor in your area to get a series of initial treatments to see if this can be a successful therapy for you. The list of doctors who have been trained to use the laser therapy can be found on www.erchonia.com

The device, XLR8, uses two laser diodes and was developed by Erchonia, a leader in developing low level laser technology as treatment for various medical conditions.

If you have received laser treatments in the doctor’s office and found it to be helpful, you may decide to purchase a unit. It is expensive, retailing for $11,000 at this time.There is a $1000 discount if, when ordering, you tell the Erchonia agent your have been referred by Parkinsons Recovery.

Again. I recommend that you get some initial treatments from a qualified doctor before deciding to purchase a unit for home use. www.erchonia.com

Photobiomodulation (Light) Therapy for Parkinsons

After listening to this interview, I am even more optimistic about this therapy for Parkinson’s and other conditions, especially mental fog and dementia. Be sure to listen to my interview with Dr. Lim. I believe he is a true pioneer in inventing the medicine of the future.

Neurons are cells that contain mitochondria. Photobiomodulation energizes neuronal mitochondria, triggering a cascade of beneficial cellular functions. Potential benefits are neuroprotective effects, self-repair mechanisms and enhanced function.

Vielights patented intranasal stimulation technology and microchip LED technology is an innovative tool for brain photobiomodulation invented by Dr. Lew Lim, my guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio today. Intranasal photobiomodulation is the most efficient method for light energy to reach the brain. Different from electrical and magnetic stimulation, photobiomodulation uses light energy (or photons) of specific wave lengths and power density to simulate cellular function.

Dr. Lim is an engineer and a Doctor of Natural Medicine with additional diplomas in Medical Neuroscience and Business and Accountancy. He obtained his degrees and diplomas from the University of California at Berkeley, University of Sheffield, Duke University, Quantum University and The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, UK.

A 2015 study using subjects with dementia found there was significant improvement after 12 weeks of use involving increased function, better sleep, fewer angry outbursts and less anxiety. These encouraging results have been followed by a series of ongoing studies.

The company, Vielight, has generously offered followers of Parkinsons Recovery a 10% discount off orders of the Vielight Neuro Gamma which retails for $1749. Enter the coupon code healing4me on the shopping cart. The website: www.vielight.com
