Kia,

Thank you for the update.

This is a loss for the world!

Great men like Dr. Antonio Costantini are a true rarity in this world and he will be missed by many, myself included!

I consider myself to be very lucky to have been able to interact with such a great and genuine person who gave tirelessly to help others when they thought they had no hope!

I miss you already, Antonio! There will never be another like you! Till we meet again, my friend!

Ci sentiamo vicini a voi tutti in questo momento di grande tristezza e smarrimento. Antonio è stato di indescrivibile aiuto per moltissime persone in difficoltà, è e resterà sempre nei nostri cuori.

Translation:

We feel close to you all in this moment of great sadness and bewilderment. Antonio has been of indescribable help to many people in difficulty, he is and will always remain in our hearts.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Assolutamente vero! Antonio ha dato così liberamente a chiunque su questo forum abbia mai chiesto di lui quando era qui e ha potuto farlo! Non ho mai incontrato un altro medico come lui, era così premuroso con gli altri. Antonio ha stabilito uno standard così alto ed era sicuramente unico nel suo genere! Mi ha sempre stupito di quanto si impegnasse a fondo per i suoi pazienti!

Absolutely true! Antonio gave so freely to anyone on this forum who ever asked of him when he was here and able to do so! I have never met another doctor like him, he was so caring of others. Antonio set such a high standard and was definitely one of a kind! I was always amazed at the lengths he would go to for his patients!

I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity of having known Dr Constantini for the short time in which he was part of my life. In the short time I knew Antonio he made one of, if not the greatest impactful contributions to my recovery from Parkinson’s. I hope his family and loved ones take comfort in the unconditional love he offered through his unselfish medical work. 🙏💕😞

I always thought that the doctor and the patient teamed up shoulder to shoulder against the disease. With Antonio it was always the winning team. Thanks Antonio and see you soon.

Dr. C gave each of us so much hope, compassion and love. A talented man in search of a cure for PD. He never wavered in his love of caring for his patient's wellbeing. A big thank you to his family for sharing him with us. May he rest in peace.

I have spoken many times with Antonio and I have always found kindness and answers to my questions. Even when he was sick and in a low voice he wanted to talk to his patients anyway because he loved them. A big hug Antonio.

Thanks KIA for letting us know.

I feel so sad about this and feel grateful nevertheless for his guidance and support in getting my PD symptoms relieved or resolved over the past 3 years.

I trust that has passing at this time will cause others to consider what was his great legacy and gift to PD sufferers.

In Gratitude,

Bill

I am so very very sorry. What a wonderful man. My GP wrote to him in the very beginning and he wrote back which was wonderful. I was concerned about aluminum additives in the B-1 in U.S. . He said that there was no additive in the Italian B1 vitamin.

My deepest sympathy to his family and all his co-workers.

Boyce3600 in reply to parkie13

Dr. C. helped us and i recently needed his expertise again, but of course could not obtain it. God bless his soul.

I hate to change the subject but you mention about the aluminum in some B1 the United States Pharmacy where I've been getting it for my husband is recently out until possibly end of June and so are all otjes I checked with. I found it in Canada at Canadian World Pharmacy would you have any knowledge about that particular source of B1 for injections. thank u

parkie13 profile image
parkie13 in reply to Boyce3600

No, I'm sorry I don't. At the time I called River Pharmacy in Canada and they told me that their B1 had aluminum in it too. Maybe there is something different now . I have ordered from River Pharmacy before. Never tried the injections but I am taking the capsules.

I can't express in words my deep sorrow, Dr. Costantini. You were a unique individual, a rare breed. You gave hope to thousands of PwP without any financial gain. You were first a descent human being and then a doctor, a rare combination, indeed! May you rest in eternal peace.

My sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues, especially Marco.

Apprendo con grande e sincero dolore della scomparsa del dott. Costantini. Alla Sua famiglia vanne le mie più sentite condoglianze. Un Grazie immenso va a questo grande “uomo “ che con amore ed abnegazione si è speso per tutti noi.

Mi mancherai Dott Costantini, sapere che c’eri era per me un riferimento, un porto sicuro.

Grazie per quanto hai fatto per me pur non conoscendomi. Porterò sempre nel mio cuore il tuo sorriso paterno, le tue parole di conforto e di incoraggiamento “Lei starà bene e per sempre “. Voglia il cielo, dove sicuramente tu sei, accogliere le tue parole per me e per tutti noi .

grazie🌹

I will miss you, Dr. Costantini, knowing that you were there was a reference for me, a safe haven.

Thank you for what you did for me even though you didn't know me. I will always carry in my heart your fatherly smile, your words of comfort and encouragement "She will be well and forever". May heaven, where you surely are, welcome your words for me and for all of us.
