What Doesn’t Kill Us

Looking for therapies that are free to do and result in much desired benefits. Here it is!

What Doesn’t Kill Us by author Scott Carney traces our evolutionary journey back to a time when survival depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us. Our ancestors crossed the Alps in animal skins and colonized the New World in loin cloths, seemingly impervious to the elements.

Modern humans have lost their biological link to the environment. Now we hate the cold. We suffer from auto-immune diseases. Many of us are chronically over weight. What Doesn’t Kill Us uncovers how just about anyone can reclaim our species’ evolutionary strength by reimagining how our bodies fit into the world and then slowly conditioning ourselves to unfamiliar environments.

Scott will share the stories he has included in his new book of individuals who currently experience symptoms of Parkinson‘s disease.  Scott’s Website: www.scottcarney.com

Wholistic or Holistic. How Different Parkinson’s People Approach Their Treatment

Since appearing on this show last fall, Dr. Hageseth has consulted with scores of what he calls Parkinson’s People (PPs).  PPs consist of Person’s with Parkinson’s (PwPs), caregivers, interested family and many different professionals.

Overall PPs are dissatisfied with allopathic medicine, but dissatisfied or not, many take medications with considerable benefit. The majority feel their neurologists do not take enough time with them or discuss other options with them.

The Internet abounds with alternative approaches, but sadly, most offer little data or studies to support their claims. I have interviewed several PPs who tried different treatments but with no success.

Holistic medicine should have a ‘W’ at the start of the word. Allopathic medicine helps, but it has its difficulties. I envision Wholistic medicine to include allopathic medicine and a healthy dose of Alternative Medicine as well.

The following quotes sum up my approach to PD

Don’t battle PD . . . challenge it – better yet, dance with it.

Do not resign yourself to PD, accept it and get on with your life.

Only you can engage your BodyMind to bring about self-directed neuroplastic change that will rewire your brain.

BUT it’s not up to your neurologist, IT’S UP TO YOU!

Six Life Changing Energy Healing Methods

How to Release Emotional Stress, Pain and Illness

Stress and trauma lurk behind most diseases, including Parkinson’s. John O’Dwyer has authored a book which describes a number of modern energy balancing methods for dealing with emotional stress, trauma and other imbalances. He will discuss energy healing and ways to reduce stress and trauma, often permanently. Some energy healing techniques you can do yourself and others can be done with a practitioner. Most doctors are not familiar with these forms of healing, even though some of them were actually developed by doctors. Energy healing has been used to reverse ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, PTSD and other serious conditions in some individuals.

Is Parkinson’s Disease Really “Degenerative”?

Many people hold the belief that Parkinson’s is “degenerative” which means that people who have been diagnosed will exhibit a decline in their health every year. Listeners answered a three question survey to test out this assertion.

Findings are announced today. Is everyone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s really getting worse? You will be excited to hear the results. I also read the inspiring statements from people who answered the survey regarding what they are grateful for.

The Autoimmune Fix

Dr. Tom O’Bryan provides a powerful and cogent examination of the mechanisms underlying this modern-day epidemic, with over 80 million people affected by autoimmunity in the US alone, including top celebrities like Selena Gomez who suffers from Lupus and Michael J. Fox, the well known face of Parkinson’s Disease.

A broad spectrum of life altering disorders, Autoimmune Disease includes diseases such as Hashimotos Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritated Bowel Disease, Crohn’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, and conditions such as chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and memory and cognitive dysfunction. The list is alarmingly long, and all tolled, adds up to the 3rd leading cause of death in the nation.

How to Repair the Body’s Ability to Heal Itself

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 body’s innate self-repair ability that determines whether you get well. Today’s 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.

Five years. No medications. Parkinson’s Improving

Dr. Christian Hageseth, a 75-year-old retired psychiatrist has had PD for 5 ½ years. He tried three medications briefly early in his illness, but stopped due to side effects and expense. The day after his diagnosis he started studying yoga and now practices it daily. For exercise he does what he calls Mindful Power Walking and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT, also called Tabata). Finally, he has studied Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and meditates for 45 minutes each morning.

He has fewer motor symptoms that are less severe since the time of his diagnosis. Last year he hiked up a 14000-foot mountain peak in Colorado. When meeting people for the first time most cannot tell he has PD. He now feels it’s his mission to train other Persons with Parkinson’s (PwPs) how to reduce their medications, reduce some motor symptoms, and live a fuller life.

His program is called Integrating the BodyMind.  www.sweatingoutpd.com

How a Maladapted Stress Response May be Playing Havoc with Your Brain and Health: Dynamic Neural Retraining

The limbic system is a complex set of structures in the mid brain that includes the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala and cingulate cortex.It has been described as the “feeling and reacting brain”. It is responsible for the formation of memories and is constantly determining our level of safety. The Limbic System assigns emotional significance to everything we smell, see, hear, feel, and taste. It is known as the seat of social and emotional intelligence and is the brain’s anxiety “switch”. It is closely integrated with the immune system, the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system.

When not functioning properly due to injury or impairment, the limbic system becomes hypersensitive and begins to react to stimuli that it would usually disregard as not representing a danger to the body. This results in inappropriate activation of the immune, endocrine and autonomic nervous systems that can lead to varied and seemingly unconnected symptoms.

My guest is Annie Hopper who is the founder of the Dynamic Neural Retraining System and author of the book Wired for Healing. The focus of the program is to effectively teach participants how to self-direct neuroplastic changes in the limbic system that normalize threat mechanisms in the brain.  This allows the brain and body to move out of a state of survival and into a state of growth and repair, where healing can take place.
