My wife was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at age 62. She had severe calf pain, muscle pain, tremors, slurred speech, frequent falls, loss of balance, and difficulty getting up from a sitting position. She was put on Sinemet for 6 months, and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Sinemet. Neither standard treatment did very little for her. We tried different supplements that didn't work, so last August, our family doctor started her on the PD-5 protocol—the best decision ever! 2 months into treatment she improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. Cases of muscle weakness, constant twitches and tremors eased. My wife has resumed her daily activities. As I share this experience, she’s active again. I’m surprised a lot of PWPs haven’t heard of the PD-5 protocol. We got the treatment from their website by Googling Uine Health Center
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a year ago at the age of 67. For several months I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when I was sitting. My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small, cramped printing. And I tended to lose my balance. The neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn't swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while, as there is no history in my family of parents and five older siblings, but I had to accept I had classic symptoms. I was taking amantadine and carbidopa/levodopa and was about to start physical therapy to strengthen muscles. I used different supplements that didn't work, so last July, I tried the PD-5 protocol—the best decision ever! My tremors eased, my energy returned, and I sleep soundly. I feel like a new woman, and I can walk and exercise again. I got the PD-5 from limitless healthcenter. co m
Living with Parkinson’s disease felt like losing parts of myself, one day at a time. Tremors, stiffness, and constant fatigue made even the simplest tasks exhausting. Medications helped, but the side effects were just as hard to manage.In search of something gentler, I discovered a natural herbal program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I didn’t expect a miracle but after a few months, I noticed real changes: reduced tremors, better balance, improved sleep, and renewed energy.What truly amazed me was how easy it was on my body no side effects, just steady, natural progress.Now, nine months in, my condition has stabilized, and I feel stronger and more hopeful. While Parkinson’s hasn’t gone away, I’ve regained a sense of control and quality of life.If you’re living with Parkinson’s, don’t give up. There are paths worth exploring. NaturePath’s approach helped me and it might help you too w w w .naturepathherbalclinic. c o m
I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease since 2010, by the VA. I found that none of the current medications worked (side effects for me). I currently take pramipexole dihydrochloride three times daily. It isn’t working well neither. I still have some tremors. Was on carbidopa levodopa but only lasted 90 minutes then wore off. Down side of carbidopa is after reaching max dosage it will no longer give relief, nothing was working for me and to make matters worse There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable medical treatment for Parkinson’s disease, I was approved by my neurologist to try feasible alternatives to my current prescribed medication in the hope of improving my quality of life. and I have to say this natural treatment from HEALTH HERBS CLINIC is a 100% game changer for anyone with PD. It has been a complete turnaround with my balance, mobility, double vision, swollen feet, speech and tremors this is the best that I've felt in years. I have stop taking levodopa completely for several months, at least 7 months now, and still feel great. Visit Health Herbs Clinic website healthherbsclinic .com
This article brings up some really good points, like the importance of exploring different types of exercise, establishing a routine, and building a solid support system. For more helpful explanations and tips on exercise for older adults with Parkinson's, I recommend checking out this article: https://carolinaheartshomecare.com/the-benefits-of-exercise-for-seniors-with-parkinsons-disease/
2 things: 1. Make sure the symptoms are not a side effect of a drug they are taking. My loved one was on an antidepressant (Paxil) and once they were taken off it, the problem went away. 2. People with Parkinson's Disease can ride bikes (no joke) One gentleman who struggled to just stand could ride a bike around a parking lot. Regular bike riding can stop symptoms.
My mom has PD and gets PT with the "think big" program as often as her Medicare will allow (usually 2X a year for @ 4 wks each time). I try to do some of the exercises w/her esp. walking everyday. However she is Stage 4 of PD and cannot get up or walk w/o assistance (me holding the gait belt and her using a walker designed for PD patients). Mom can only do this for @ 90 seconds maybe 2X a day The therapists are wonderul and optimistic and mom looks forward to it although it's become more of a social visit than real PT as far as I'm concerned.Not that it's anyone's fault. Mom's limited so the PT does what she can. She does the 'think big' program and I'm sure it works with other PD patients who are in maybe Stage 2 or 3 PD. But all the" retraining of the brain" to make bigger movements does not work so well in someone whose physical and mental capablitiies are just too compromised to allow for that.
