Parkinsons Recovery

High Dose Thiamine as a Novel, Promising Therapy
Parkinsons Recovery is dedicated to identifying promising new therapies that offer the promise of reversing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. One such therapy, High-Dose Thiamine, was discussed on Parkinsons Recovery Radio by Italian neurologist Antonio Constantini MD. He has been prescribing High Dose Thiamine as a treatment for his Parkinson’s patients with good success. Click on the pointer to hear the replay.
Parkinsons disease (PD) is a systemic disease with motor and non-motor deficits. In July 2011, Dr. Costantini treated a 47-year-old man affected by spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2). In this patient, fatigue as well as motor symptoms improved after parenteral high doses of thiamine (also this was our proprietary research).
He formulated the hypothesis that in some inherited and degenerative diseases of the nervous system, the pathogenesis of the symptoms could be linked to a focal thiamine deficiency due to a dysfunction of the circulation of thiamine in the intracellular space or to structural enzymatic abnormalities. He speculated this dysfunction could be responsive to high-dose thiamine. Parkinson’s disease has also been related to mutations associated with SCA2. Applying the same approach to patients with Parkinson’s symptoms the observed results were nothing short of startling and never previously described in literature.

Sleep and Parkinson’s Disease
Now you may be able to prevent or reverse your Parkinson’s disease while you sleep…
Dr. Stasha Gominak MD received her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her Neurology residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
From 2004 to 2016 she had a busy general neurology practice where she became fascinated with issues connected with sleep disorders. She published several pivotal articles about the global struggle with worsening sleep. Since 2016 she has divided her time between teaching the public about sleep and teaching clinicians the RightSleep© method of sleep repair.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
Today I hosted a fascinating radio show interview with Natural Pharmacist Ross Pelton PhD 
and David Sage who discussed the impressive research documenting the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for treatment of a wide variety of symptoms. If your recovery program is stuck in the mud at the present moment, I encourage you to listen to the replay of this informative interview .
All About Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy and the Bemer
This 2 1/2 minute video demonstrates the perfusion of capillaries during the course of a Bemer treatment. White white blood cells (leukocytes) are increased, red blood cells are disassembled and blood flow in dramatically increased.
Research on pulsed electromagnetic field therapy reports a series of positive outcomes including modulation of inflammation, reduction of pain, promotion of tissue repair and regeneration, improvement of neurological and cardiac functions, reduction of fatigue, acceleration of recovery from strokes and support of detoxification. These positive outcomes might clearly have a positive benefit for persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Is Parkinson’s Degenerative?
Many people hold the belief near and dear to their heart that Parkinson’s disease is “degenerative.” Is this really true? Has anyone out there actually reversed their symptoms and if they have, how did they do it?
The radio show today answers these questions. First, I report results of a holiday survey which asks persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease whether they were better, the same or worse now when compared to the holiday season a year ago.As you will discover by listening to a detailed discussed of the results, a vast majority of respondents reported they were better or the same relative to one year ago. In other words, the first answer to the question is no. Parkinson’s is not “degenerative” for many people.
OK. What did people do to get better? I report and discuss each answer to the second question in the survey: What therapies were helping? You will be excited to learn that there are dozens of therapies that are making a big difference for people currently experiencing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Functional Medicine: a New Paradigm in Medicine
Dr. Jennifer Kessman MD discusses how to heal from disease. Functional Medicine has been around for a number of years and began with Dr. Jeffery Bland’s motivation to look at medicine in a different way. Now the field of Functional Medicine is ever expanding and a center at the Cleveland Clinic has opened its doors for care. It is becoming more widely accepted and parts of functional medicine have been integrated into a wide variety of disciplines in medicine.
Here is a list of questions she answered during my interview with her:
1. What is Functional Medicine?
2. How did you come to get involved in Functional Medicine?
3. What are the root causes of disease?
4. So, if inflammation is the basis of disease how does functional medicine help with inflammation?
5. Tell me about your experience with Environmental Medicine?
6. Dr. Dale Bredesen and others have found ways to reverse early brain dysfunction and reverse dementia. How are they doing this?
7. Do you think this can apply to Parkinson’s?
8. The immune system is a big actor in most diseases we know- how can we calm our immune system?
9. What has been your experience with environmental impact of electromagnetic fields and brain dysfunction?
10. What is the influence of stress on disease?
