As the host of Parkinsons Recovery Radio – I am the one who is always asking the questions of my guests. Last Sunday, my familiar role as host was reversed when I was a guest on Sharry Edwards’ radio show. Sharry has been a guest on Parkinsons Recovery Radio on several previous occasions.
So, I answered whatever questions were thrown at me. I aired this show on my show this week. We both offer a fresh perspective on the causes of Parkinson’s which offers hope of recovery for anyone who currently experiences neurological challenges.
My radio show this week is 34 minutes of golden air time. I extracted clips from the radio shows of each pioneer of recovery featured in Pioneers of Recovery (2012) which I released this week. Clips are 1 to 2 minute extractions from previous radio shows that capture the wisdom and insights of each pioneer.

In 2001, dancers from the Mark Morris Dance Group began teaching a dance with live music for members of the Brooklyn Parkinson Group. The premise? Professionally-trained dancers are movement experts whose knowledge could be useful to persons with PD. By learning real dance techniques and focusing on artistry and grace, people with PD would be encouraged to explore movement and music in enjoyable and creative ways while addressing balance, coordination, flexibility and physical confidence.
Ten years later, Dance for PD classes based on the original Brooklyn model take place in more than 45 communities and in seven countries around the world, and the acclaimed program has been featured in such media as The New York Times, PBS NewsHour, and USA Today, among many others. David Leventhal, one of the program’s founding teachers, its program manager, and a 14-year veteran of the Mark Morris Dance Group speaks with Dr. Robert Rodgers about this transformative program and its potential to help people with PD recapture grace and a vital sense of community.

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
We all need to be empowered now and then. Heather MacTavish has the magical touch – the unique ability to empowering us all just when we need it the most. Heather’s recent release of Songs Science and Spirit is a book that explains in delicious detail how music, song and drumming are natural medicines that offer profound relief from symptoms of Parkinsons Disease. Unike other medicines, her treatments involve no side effects – only improved well being and endless fun for all.
Since being diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease 14 years ago, Health MacTavish has created a book that is practical, inspiring and profound. It is a precious gift to anyone who currently experiences the symptoms of Parkinsons disease. Be prepared to be energized and inspired by a most remarkable talent, author, musician, singer, drummer and woman who inspires us all to become all that we are.
Sound therapy is an approach that I believe has great promise to address the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Dr. Suzanne Jonas has created a number of CD’s that specifically address many of the symptoms associated with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease.
I believe integrating her CDs into a comprehensive recovery program is a very cost effective approach for getting relief from symptoms. I use her CDs regularly to maintain my own health. Of course like you, I always have a choice to see a medical doctor at a cost of $500-$1000 (or more), or use her CD’s which cost $20-$30. I always opt to use her CD’s. They work well for me. I suspect her CDs can help many others as well. For a very small investment I have concluded it is possible to see improvement of your overall health on some level.
Dr. Suzanne Jonas reveals time exciting research results using sound therapy for subjects who have the symptoms of Parkinson’s. When I use here the work exciting – I really mean it! Today’s announcement is truly an exciting development for any and all persons who currently experience neurological challenges.
Sharry Edwards from Sound Health has new and additional information about the reversal of Parkinsons using biofrequencies. 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. It is clear from Marian’s experience that radiation exposure plays an integral part in cell signal diseases such as Parkinsons
Author Whit Deshner (who experiences symptoms of Parkinson’s) reads excerpts from his forthcoming book on my radio show today. It is amazing writing that will inspire your soul, touch your heart, tickle your intellect, and rattle your funny bone.
Want a chance to enter the internationally famous Salt Lick contest and win money? Are you a rancher? Do you raise cows? Here is your chance! Funds from the Salt Lick Contests support research on Parkinson’s.
Have you been tested for heavy metals and found to be “clean”? Have you concluded that toxins are not contributing to your symptoms? Dr. Hickey. explains all of the issues associated with heavy metal toxins and why they exact such a heavy toll on our neurological system. No one escapes.
Dr. Joe Hickey, MD, discusses the approach he uses in his practice to treating the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Many standard medical tests do not detect the presence of toxins embedded in the tissues and organs of the body. Environmental toxins are presumed to be the triggers for development of Parkinsons Disease. Examples of toxins as the cause of PD have been well documented such as Manganese toxicity, Carbon Monoxide poisoning, Carbon DiSulfide from the Rayon Industry and MPTP. He will add to this list, environmental exposures such as aluminum, lead, and mercury.
Dr. Donald Rhodes. my guest today, invented VECTTOR treatments, a gentle form of electrostimulation designed to stimulate nerves to augment the production of certain essential nerve chemicals throughout the body.
VECTTOR treatments are painless, noninvasive, and are showing encouraging results in diseases exacerbated by oxidative stress, such as Parkinson’s Disease. The basis of this therapy stems from acupuncture, reflexology, physiology, and cellular physiology.
Dr. Rhodes is a former foot and ankle surgeon, has spent his career studying the effects of electrostimulation on the body. He has successfully treated patients from all over the world in his clinic in South Texas. However, the advent of VECTTOR will soon allow this treatment to be available worldwide.
