QiGong for Health and Happiness

In this show, we explore Qigong as a primary strategy for healing Parkinson’s. Wisdom Healing Qigong (WHQ) is a particular form of the ancient Chinese spiritual practice that focuses on personal health and well being, blending essential ancient teachings into one gentle practice of movement, visualization, chanting and meditation. Compatible with traditional Chinese and modern western medicine, it fits all abilities and is very effective for chronic and acute health conditions.

Joining me on the Parkinsons Recovery Radio show Monday is my guest Bill Bulick who uses Qigong as a primary strategy for healing Parkinson’s. Bill has been practicing Wisdom Healing Qigong daily for almost 4 years.

He was originally inspired by the story of Bianca Molle who reversed her Parkinson’s symptoms through this practice and a former guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio. Bill has been a devoted student of Mingtong’s since 2011, has attended six 10 day retreats, has increased his practice to 2-4 hours, and is now in the WHQ Teacher Training Program.

Sel Kerans discusses his new book, Leading the Dance: Living well with Parkinsons Disease, and his own journey on the road to recovery in an open, conversational expose of a five year journey with Parkinsons disease and the experiences that have inspired the writing of a book that may be helpful, motivational and encouraging for others, especially those newly diagnosed with the condition.

  • What hurdles have you faced?
  • How have you overcome them?
  • Would you consider yourself recovered from Parkinson’s disease?
  • Do you believe it’s possible to recover completely from the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?

LDN as a Treatment for Parkinson’s Symptoms

Lexie answers questions regarding her remarkable 5 year experience of taking Low Dose Naltrexone for her own Parkinson’s Disease. LDN is a proven-safe (by the FDA in 50mg doses!), off-label prescription drug, which has gained a great deal of attention over the past few years due to it’s remarkable disease modifying effects of controlling and reversing symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Why does Lexie have so many of the answers about LDN?

Lexie was officially diagnosed with PD in 2008, although her non-motor symptoms began about 20 years before that time. Over time Lexie has been able to titrate off her daily use of traditional PD medications, while controlling and reversing most of her own PD symptoms, thanks to LDN. You won’t want to miss this most informative show!
