Robert and I have recorded interviews three times in the past:
2018 – I shot a video titled So High So Low for the “I HAD A DREAM PROJECT” where I hiked a three mile walk trail and climbed a thousand feet.

That year I also went to Uganda to demonstrate the practices I used to manage so long without meds. (Robert, this is quite a tale, plus I have pictures.)
BUT: New symptoms emerged that I didn’t know about:
No more yoga classes! No gym with weightlifting. Social interaction approached zero.
March 2021 – Fell and shattered right knee – 16 days in hospital.
July 2021 – Fell and broke my right hip.
August – Severe depression, I became suicidal.
September – Chose to have a course of electro-convulsive therapy (ECT)
October- It worked, and my PD improved a lot.
The falls were due to the antidepressant I was taking may increase fall for people with Parkinsons.
LESSON: Make sure you MD goes through all meds in case a med might make falling more likely
My story with Depression
Family history is strong.
Parkinson’s did not cause my suicidal depression, genetics and environment did. Antidepressant medication failed to work and led to my falls!
2022 – I returned to my new normal. And that’s where I am today. I just have more symptoms and feel weaker.
I followed up with PWPs who I have advised in the past.
It became clear to me: I want to coach people with PD.
I HAVE A LOT TO OFFER!
Teach PWPs how to become a “Bad Ass with PD.”
No more withdrawal and depression.

Robert, I want to come back with a program I have just developed to make being a person with PD and their caregiver have a better relationship.

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.

Questions Mountain Sage Addressed:
* Is Recovery Primarily mental or does “getting out of your mind” help?

* Why are people who experience Parkinson’s symptoms always so active?
* How do you react in public when tremors flare?
*Â Is sleep important?

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 Parkinson’s 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 Parkinson’s symptoms during the mid 1990’s. What is the story behind John Coleman’s 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 is the author of Stop Parkin’ and Start Livin‘.
