On the program today I interview Dr. Jaroslav Boublik PhD whose research centers around the health effects of dehydration. He will answer a wide variety of questions today about the effects of dehydration on your health and how you can realistically address the problem. Dr. Boublik is one of the developers of the Aqua Hydration Formulas http://www.aquas4life.com
Listen to selected clips from interviews with  Pioneers of Recovery which offer inspiration to anyone who questions the chances of recovery and who is looking for a suggestion or two that offers relief from symptoms.
My guest Bernadette Hunter explains to us what Emotional Freedom Technique( EFT) is, how it works and why it works. She works live on the radio program with Monica McIntyre who is confronted with severe anxieties associated with driving.
Scott Luikart is participating in the Race Across America to raise money for research at the Cleveland Clinic on the effects of forced exercise on brain function for persons with Parkinsons Disease. Scott’s brother Mark has the symptoms of Parkinsons. I interview both Dr. Jay Alberts, PH.D, a researcher at the Cleveland Clinic, and Scott in this very special program.
I discuss the impact that high frequencies have on healing by way of explaining the importance of carrying the positive expectation that the body can heal itself. I also interview Dr. John Briggs, a naturopath doctor, who gives his perspective on healing the symptoms of Parkinsons from the inside out rather than suppressing symptoms.
This interview with Dr. Paul Arai reveals profound ways to heal from the symptoms of any chronic condition.
Karen Cook was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2004. In this teleseminar, she talks about what therapies have helped her get great relief from her symptoms.
I have tremor-dominant PD–lucky me; I don’t have hallucinations, freezing, rigidity (except in my neck–ouch!) , and my tremor is hardly noticeable except when I’m agitated about something (but it’s in my non-dominant hand). I do have what I call Head Symptoms–horrendous anxiety (about NOTHING), near-panic, an acute sense of dread, etc. These episodes occur at irregular intervals–I could have as many as six a day in the past, often accompanied by tachycardia which scared me to death.My cardiologist put me on a beta-blocker (metaprolol) and this eliminated the tachycardia, but not the acute angst. For that I take a Xanax when needed (usually no more than 2-3 a week). But I have a feeling of intense pressure inside my head WITHOUT PAIN; just a feeling that my skull is too small for my brain. It is an awful feeling, and accompanied by some disorientation.
I have noticed definite cognitive changes over the past year especially. It is very difficult for me to take in new informatioon, especially of a technical nature. Any kind of instruction manual is like Greek to me. I easily get confused. My neurologist laughs when I say I’m probably experiencing the onset of PD dementia, but…
What I do for my PD: SWIM! Quilt (I design and hand-quilt art quilts. I think they are very good–but their main value is that they are my bliss, and I have NO tremor when working on them–or on my collages, of which I also do many, with great pleasure. I do not believe in the American model of “fighting” a disease. I’m just trying to learn from it. So far I have learned a lot about myself–most of which is unwelcome news (e.g. I am very impatient, irascible, have an exaggerated sense of entitlement, etc.) I never ask WHY ME? with respect to PD: I feel blessed that I DON’T have ALS, MS, or any one of a number of other neurological conditions.
I exercise like crazy: an hour of yoga and Pilates six days a week, gym 3X weekly, swimming ditto, as much walking as I can manage with a bum right knee. I believe exercise is KEY for me! For meds, I take one 25/100 carbolevodopa 3X daily along with a 1 mg. Mirapex tablet. I also take 1200 mg. of Coenzyme Q-10 daily. I drink in moderation–understand the risks for breast cancer, but it really helps with PD tension. I’ll be seeing Dr. Chad Christine next week for an annual checkup. His special field of interest is the NON-motor symptoms of PD–the things that most bedevil ME.
Listen to John Carlin’s story in this teleseminar. He is getting incredible relief from his symptoms by accessing a combination of therapies and treatments. Find out what he is doing to get relief from his symptoms by listening to this hour long interview.
The Fifth Step to Recovery is the topic of this program. Join me for a discussion of persistence. I present a novel approach for muscle testing that you can use to ask your body what it needs with regard to therapies. I also summarize all five steps which are necessary to see a relief from the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
The fourth step to recovery is the topic of this recorded teleseminar. Join me for a visit to the thought auction where you can buy the thoughts of your dreams (or not). The recording is about an hour. The work here is to inculate positive thought forms that will give you the energy to recover from the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
