Low Dose Naltrexone

The mission of Parkinsons Recovery is to identify alternatives that are helping people who currently experience the symptoms of Parkinsons recover. Here is yet another possibility for you to consider – the use of low dose naltrexone (LDN) as a possible treatment for the symptoms of Parkinson’s. LDN has clearly helped Lexie get remarkable relief from her symptoms.

Lexie was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease in October, 2008. She tried all of the Parkinson’s medications that her neurologist prescribed. While they helped offer relief from her “symptoms” she soon became discouraged.

“I knew that I was taking ‘band-aid’ medications in the form of the PD Agonists and Sinemet. All 3 of the neurologists I conferred with said they did not expect a ‘cure’ in my lifetime. I was only 60 years old with a thriving professional career and that was not an answer I could accept, so I started researching.”

“I discovered Low Dose Naltrexone 2.5 years ago and I have never looked back. I have now titrated off of all of my PD meds and feel and look better today than I did 3 years ago when I was first diagnosed. I am excited to share my success with LDN with all of your PD listeners. It could change their lives, as it has changed mine.” Lexie

Marian Lewis, a miracle of non-medicine, has used frequency modalities to reverse her Parkinsons. She shares her experiences using this emerging new technology. Her journey on the road to recovery is truly fascinating and nearly unbelievable until you hear about what actually happened to her.

Discoveries About Causes of Parkinsons from Voice Profiles

Sharry Edwards from Sound Health has been systematically analyzing the commonalities across voice profiles that have been taken of people with Parkinsons symptoms. Some of the profiles were taken from listeners of my radio show. Others were taken from people who attended Parkinsons Recovery Summits.

You are going to be truly amazed at what she has discovered. You will also be very surprised about the factors she has identified that are common to Parkinson’s Disease. Her research discoveries will inspire a different approach to the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson’s symptoms.
