Rethinking Parkinson’s Disease

This interview is with naturopath John Coleman who has just released his new book:Rethinking Parkinsons Disease which is to date, the most thorough exploration of the etiological pathways (causes) leading to diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease or similar neuro disorders.

Rethinking Parkinson’s Disease explains how and why trauma, toxins and stealth infections create symptoms diagnosed as a “disease”, usually treated without any further investigation into prodromal history, early life, toxic load or the possibility of infection.

The major section of this work details strategies to create wellness and reverse the illness processes, much available to patients with little or no cost. There are sections on Western Allopathic Medical treatments (symptom control), Complementary Medical treatments and therapies to avoid.

John Coleman ND Answers Questions about Recovery

My research over the past decade documents the stories of recovery of many individuals who have been successful in reversing some if not all of their Parkinson’s symptoms. More than 70 replays of interviews with these pioneers of recovery are available as replays here on the Parkinsons Recovery member radio show page. One early story of recovery was reported by John Coleman who was one of the first persons to successfully reverse his Parkinson’s symptoms during the mid 1990s. .

Given his own experience with recovery. Dr. Coleman is in the ideal position to help others traveling down the road to recovery. During this program he discusses and responds to the following questions:

  • What was most helpful to you in your own recovery process?
  • My wife has been anemic just after experiencing Parkinson’s symptoms. Her iron levels are too low. What steps should she take to remedy this situation?
  • Can I give my mother B12 vitamins for her condition?
  • How does one deal with orthostatic hypotension (or low blood pressure)?
  • I have tried many therapies over the past five years but the Parkinson’s symptoms continue to progress.  What supplements have you found that help the most?
  • How can I get the best movement possible with the least amount of medications?
  • What will carbidopa help and what will it not help?

John Coleman ND Talks About His Full Recovery from Parkinson’s

Who was the first person to succeed in reversing all symptoms of their Parkinson’s disease? We obviously cannot know for sure, but naturopath doctor John Coleman, ND, was one of the first – if not the first to reverse his own Parkinson’s symptoms during the mid 1990’s. What is the story behind John Coleman’s recovery? How in the world did he figure out how to heal his neurological symptoms when no one else had succeeded before him?  What therapies helped his recovery? Which ones did not? John answers these and other questions during this remarkable interview with him.

This interview with John Coleman ND was originally aired on Parkinsons Recovery Radio in 2010. You will be surprised at his revelations about what made the most difference to the success of his recovery in this interview. John is the author of Stop Parkin’ and Start Livin‘.

Craniosacral Therapy as Treatment for Parkinson’s Symptoms

Willem Visser is a craniosacral therapist from the Netherlands, currently living in Portland, OR, USA. When he was young, he witnessed two grandparents from both sides of family suffering with Parkinson’s disease. Finishing his study as a craniosacral therapist, he wrote a thesis on the work of biomedical engineer Aubrey de Grey.

De Grey is known for his view medical technology can prevent human beings from dying from aging, including Parkinson’s. Willem researched if and how craniosacral therapy could help with De Grey’s proposed strategies. And of course also how De Grey ideas could help PD’s. On his blog Willem later wrote about why craniosacral therapy can be of great benefit for Parkinson’s. Willem Visser practices and teaches Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki. He also writes about Craniosacral therapy on his blog http://energyisflowing.nl/eng/blog/.

Shifting the Parkinson’s Disease Mindset

Dr. Hageseth dates his first non-motor symptoms to 2004 when his sense of smell disappeared. In 2008 he developed severe constipation which he has had ever since. In 2011 he saw the emergence of a tremor in his right hand which progressed over the following year to involve his entire right side. It went on to include stooped posture, shuffling gait, and problems with balance. A neurologist confirmed his diagnosis in 2012. He tried three different medications over the next four months but discontinued each one due to side effects or lack of efficacy.

His neurologist gave him one piece of advice: EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE.

A year later many of his symptoms had regressed. He attributed his improvement to the intensity of his exercise and taking up yoga. He established his first website: Sweating Out Parkinson’s Disease. He intended to encourage other PWPs to follow his example.

By 2014 he was doing so well that he had a DAT scan to confirm the diagnosis of PD. It was positive.

Over the last year and a half, he explored why more people aren’t doing better with PD. It was then that he started to examine how the mind may influence the course of PD. Exercise is the key to living a full life with PD, But if the mind does not believe the degree of improvement that exercise can achieve. Then improvement will only go so far.

Because of the problem of dyskinesia developing after five years on levodopa, he thinks newly diagnosed should pursue a program of great intensity and focus and manage their minds, so they realize they can live with PD and not require levodopa.Visit: www.shiftpdmind.com

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.
