Many people hold the belief that Parkinson’s is “degenerative” which means that people who have been diagnosed will exhibit a decline in their health every year. Listeners answered a three question survey to test out this assertion.
Findings are announced today. Is everyone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s really getting worse? You will be excited to hear the results. I also read the inspiring statements from people who answered the survey regarding what they are grateful for.
Dehydration becomes a serious issue for most people as they age. For whatever reasons, the body’s mechanism for signalling thirst and distributing water to the cells becomes compromised with the aging process.
Many people who currently experience Parkinson’s symptoms take Aquas which were formulated to hydrate the body. John Coleman, ND, says that the Aquas were instrumental to his own recovery from Parkinson’s.
Jaroslav Boublik, PhD, one of the original developers of the Aquas, answers questions about the Aquas during the interview today. For more information about the Aquas visit: https://www.aquas.us
Dr. Tom OBryan provides a powerful and cogent examination of the mechanisms underlying this modern-day epidemic, with over 80 million people affected by autoimmunity in the US alone, including top celebrities like Selena Gomez who suffers from Lupus and Michael J. Fox, the well known face of Parkinsons Disease.
A broad spectrum of life altering disorders, Autoimmune Disease includes diseases such as Hashimotos Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritated Bowel Disease, Crohns Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, and conditions such as chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and memory and cognitive dysfunction. The list is alarmingly long, and all tolled, adds up to the 3rd leading cause of death in the nation.
Chronic illness, by definition, is a failure to heal in spite of interventions.
When embarking on a healing journey with any holistic modality, we must first ask – Can I count on my body to heal itself when all is said and done, after all the effort and expense?
Holistic modalities work with the body to facilitate healing, but ultimately it is your bodys innate self-repair ability that determines whether you get well. Todays chaotic environment is increasingly taking a toll on what we have always taken for granted: our vital ability to self-repair. Without it there can be no healing.
Our Innate intelligence is a function of the Human Body Field, the computer that controls the physiology of the of the body. Through the work of Master Acupuncturist Peter Fraser, who spent 30-years mapping out the quantum electrodynamic structures of the Human Body Field in detail, we now have the science to assess and rebuild the compromised HBF from the ground up.
Dr. Christian Hageseth, a 75-year-old retired psychiatrist has had PD for 5 ½ years. He tried three medications briefly early in his illness, but stopped due to side effects and expense.
The day after his diagnosis he started studying yoga and now practices it daily. For exercise he does what he calls Mindful Power Walking and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT, also called Tabata). Finally, he has studied Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and meditates for 45 minutes each morning.
He has fewer motor symptoms that are less severe since the time of his diagnosis. Last year he hiked up a 14000-foot mountain peak in Colorado. When meeting people for the first time most cannot tell he has PD. He now feels it is his mission to train other Persons with Parkinsons (PwPs) how to reduce their medications, reduce some motor symptoms, and live a fuller life.
John Pepper, author of Reverse Parkinsons Disease, is not a doctor. He is a Parkinsons Patient with 51 years of experience. These are the actions, which have helped John reverse his symptoms.
Regular Energetic Exercise
Learn how to Take Conscious Control of all movements
Manage Stress Levels
Adopt a Positive Attitude
John Pepper discusses his discoveries as he has journeyed down the road to recovery. For more information visit John’s website: www.reverseparkinsons.net
The limbic system is a complex set of structures in the mid brain that includes the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala and cingulate cortex.It has been described as the feeling and reacting brain. It is responsible for the formation of memories and is constantly determining our level of safety.
The Limbic System assigns emotional significance to everything we smell, see, hear, feel, and taste. It is known as the seat of social and emotional intelligence and is the brains anxiety switch. It is closely integrated with the immune system, the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system.
When not functioning properly due to injury or impairment, the limbic system becomes hypersensitive and begins to react to stimuli that it would usually disregard as not representing a danger to the body. This results in inappropriate activation of the immune, endocrine and autonomic nervous systems that can lead to varied and seemingly unconnected symptoms.
My guest is Annie Hopper who is the founder of the Dynamic Neural Retraining System and author of the book Wired for Healing. The focus of the program is to effectively teach participants how to self-direct neuroplastic changes in the limbic system that normalize threat mechanisms in the brain. This allows the brain and body to move out of a state of survival and into a state of growth and repair, where healing can take place.
Most people choose to suppress the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease with medications or supplements. And why not? If you can begin to feel “normal” you can begin leading a “normal” life.
Michael Lavery, Author of Whole Brain Power
There is another way. Just ask Michael Lavery, author of Whole Brain Power: The Fountain of Youth for the Mind and Body. Michael has invented fascinating and innovative ways to increase and enhance the integrity and functionality of your brain. You read my last sentence correctly.
You can get a lot smarter!
Your memory and recall can improve significantly!
Your handwriting can improve!
Your can become more focused!
You can lift depression!
You can reclaim your life force!
All of this is possible, Michael explains, when you start a program to “exercise” your brain in ways you never before even imagined. I like his approach because it puts you in the driver’s seat of your recovery and puts medicines or supplements in the back seat.
Joining Michael in my interview with him is Len Fox who discusses his own experience with taking Michael’s Whole Brain Power program seriously.
This interview is with naturopath doctor John Coleman from Australia who, to my knowledge, is one of the first persons to successfully reverse his own Parkinson’s symptoms.
John offers his answers to the following eight questions which were previously submitted by members of my listening audience.
My wife has been anemic just after experiencing Parkinson’s 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 Parkinson’s symptoms continue to progress. Treatments included two stem cell treatments and other treatments out of the country. There was an initial improvement over the initial 6 months, but these benefits faded away. What supplements have you found that help the most?
Have you seen a connection for many people of Lipitor (a statin drug developed to reduce levels of the “bad” cholesterol) with Parkinson’s symptoms?
How can I get the best movement possible with the least amount of medications?
What will carbidopa help and what will it not help?
What was most helpful to you in your own recovery process?
Listen to a Q&A with an international expert on good hydration for health and wellness. Jaroslav Boublik PhD is the “go to” resource for how to drink the right water to hydration cells throughout your body which makes for good hydration.
Good Hydration
When you your doctor answers the question: “What can I do to feel better?” by saying – “Drink more water” Do not laugh. Your doctor is probably right.
Dr. Boublik is, in my book of experts, the international expert on water and hydration. His research centers around the effects of dehydration. Dr. Boublik answers questions about the effects of dehydration on your health and how you can realistically address problems such as:
Why do we get dehydrated as we age?
Why is hydration so important to eliminate toxins?
If I add such substances to my diet such as – salt, energy drinks, coffee, tea, alcohol, colas, milk – will I be better hydrated?
What are the symptoms of dehydration?
Is drinking structured water a good idea?
Can good hydration reduce Parkinson’s symptoms?
Will better hydration enhance mental clarity?
Jaroslov Boublik is also one of the two amazing developers of the Aquas (https://www.aquas.us) a homeopathic treatment for dehydration.
