Martha Carlin brings us up to date on the latest Parkinson’s Microbiome findings and research and help connect the dots to our environment and increasingly processed and toxic food systems with idea on how to build a healthy microbiome to improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s. She will discuss environmental toxins, diet/nutrition, stress management and exercise as ways to impact the course of your disease and how to build your own health timeline to understand what may be impacting the course of your illness and how to change the trajectory.
Dr. Amy Yasko has a PhD in Microbiology/Immunology/infectious Disease from Albany Medical College and has completed multiple postdoctoral fellowships at the Yale Medical center, Wilmot Cancer Center URMC and Pediatric Infectious Disease at URMC.
After working in biotechnology for 15 years. Dr. Amy shifted her focus to alternative halthcare. She has a Doctor of Natural Health, is a board-certified Alternative Medical Practitioner, a board certified Holistic Health Practitions and a Felllow of the American Association of Ingegrative Medicine.
Following the completion of her traiing in Natural Health Dr. Amy began giving in -person consultations in Bethel, Maine. This work laid the foundation for the Yasko Protocol over 20 years ago which was created to serve as a guide for individuals to built a personalized map for health and wellness by making choices grounded in science.
In this interview, Dr. Amy Yasko will discuss how the Yasko Protocol can be applied to those with neurological discorders, with a focus on Parkinson’s disease. The protocol emphasizes a data driven approach by using the results of non-invasive at-home test kits to help guide individuals on how to best support their unique system with the use of natural supplementation.
This interview is with naturopath John Coleman who has just released his new book:Rethinking Parkinsons Disease which is to date, the most thorough exploration of the etiological pathways (causes) leading to diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease or similar neuro disorders.
Rethinking Parkinson’s Disease explains how and why trauma, toxins and stealth infections create symptoms diagnosed as a “disease”, usually treated without any further investigation into prodromal history, early life, toxic load or the possibility of infection.
The major section of this work details strategies to create wellness and reverse the illness processes, much available to patients with little or no cost. There are sections on Western Allopathic Medical treatments (symptom control), Complementary Medical treatments and therapies to avoid.

Who was the first person to succeed in reversing all symptoms of their Parkinsons disease? We obviously cannot know for sure, but naturopath doctor John Coleman, ND, was one of the first – if not the first to reverse his own Parkinsons symptoms during the mid 1990s.
What is the story behind John Colemans recovery? How in the world did he figure out how to heal his neurological symptoms when no one else had succeeded before him? What therapies helped his recovery? Which ones did not? John answers these and other questions during this remarkable interview with him.
This interview with John Coleman ND was originally aired on Parkinsons Recovery Radio in 2010. You will be surprised at his revelations about what made the most difference to the success of his recovery in this interview.
John Rollins PhD discusses the critical role that is played by Apoptosis and why it has a critical influence on nervous system health. Apoptosis is the bodys natural process for repairing, regenerating and destroying damaged cells.
He discusses his longtime relationship with Dr. Bill McAnalley who was a recent guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio and founder of Aroga.
Dr. Rollins explains how Aroga products and in particular the Core Pathways, Brain and Nerve Plus and Aloe 1 support and nurture neural tissue health.

Below are the talking points that Dr. McAnalley prepared for my interview with him on Parkinsons Recovery Radio where he explains why food can fix things drugs cant
Parkinson’s disease (PD), characterized with bradykinesia, static tremor, rigidity and disturbances in balance, is the second most common neuro-degenerative disorder. Alzheimer disease is first.
With the global trends in aging, the incidence of PD has increased year by year and the prevalence rate is up among the elderly over the age of 65 years. So far, there is still no exact cure for PD due to its diversity of etiology and complexity of symptoms.
Currently, Parkinson’s disease is treated with Levodopa and maybe Monamine, Oxidase Inhibitors (MOAs) or Acetylcholine inhibitors. Levodopa makes more Dopamine available for the dopamine receptor, MOAs increase the amount norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin at their prospective receptors and acetylcholine inhibitors make more acetylcholine available to its receptor.
None of which address the physical cause of the disease.
The cause of PD has not been completely elucidated, but it has been generally acknowledged that the improvement of oxidative stress is one of the most important patho-physiological mechanisms.
Dr. Bill’s research has focused on stopping the causes of diseases like Parkinsons by:
The inhibition of oxidative stress:
PD patients are in a state of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is caused by the increase of free radicals in the organism, while the ability to eliminate free radicals is decreased at the same time. A large amount of lipid peroxide, such as Malondialdehyde (MDA), hydroxyl, carbonyl, etc., will cause cell death, which leads to neuronal apoptosis ultimately.
The mitochondria is the power plant and energy conversion station of cells. It also regulates the process of gene expression and apoptosis. Recent reports have suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to a variety of neuro-degenerative diseases including PD.
The reduction of toxic Excitatory Amino Acids (EAA):
Glutamate (Glu), Also, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and enkephalin can can produce excitotoxicity effects on nerve cells. Glutamate creates an excitatory effect on nerve cells, and is toxic when Dopa Amine neurons are fully or partially degenerated.
The inhibition of neuroinflammation:
Neuroinflammation is a common and important pathological mechanism in nervous system diseases and different neurological diseases are involved in neuroinflammation at some stage. At present, it is believed that neuroinflammation was involved in an important cascade reaction in neuronal degeneration of PD.
When the central nervous system suffers from exogenous antigens stimulus, such as pathogenic microorganisms or foreign bodies, microglia will be rapidly activated. Then, the activated microglia cells can secrete various cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, etc. The cytokines cause is neuro-inflammation.
The inhibition of neuronal apoptosis:
Parkinsons is caused by the premature death of dopaminergic neurons by abnormal apoptosis activation. Energy for normal activities of brain cells comes directly from aerobic energy, and there is little energy storage. However once brain damage occurs, it will cause nerve cell apoptosis or death.
The Bcl-2 family of proteins regulate apoptosis. It is divided into two categories: anti-apoptosis gene (such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w, Bcl-1, etc.) and pro-apoptosis gene (such as Bax, Bak, Bad, Bid, etc.). Their ratio regulates apoptosis.
The inhibition of abnormal protein aggregation:
Misfolded and aggregated proteins play a key role in the pathogenesis of Parkinsons Disease. Protein aggregates differ from disease to disease. This common characteristic shows that protein deposition is toxic to neurons.
Studies confirmed that the activity of the proteasome dropped substantially in substantia nigra of patients with PD, which weakened the ability of the substantia nigra to degrade α-syn and other proteins.
Targeting Nrf2 to Suppress Ferroptosis and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegeneration:
Nrf2 is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage triggered by injury and inflammation. Several drugs that stimulate the NFE2L2 pathway are being studied for treatment of diseases that are caused by oxidative stress.

Fred Phillips offers his insights into how he gets immediate relief from a variety of his Parkinsons symptoms. His solutions for Parkinsons symptoms are novel and profound. Do you ever have difficulty when walking with:
Freezing?
Standing up?
Shuffling?
Slowness?
Leg Cramps?
If so, I strongly recommend that you listen to my interview with Fred today. He also previews his 10 step program to recovery.
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.
