Dr. Lara Mischley

[cshamb]

Has anyone heard of this doctor

[WinnieThePoo]

Yup although it's Laurie not Lara.

Lovely lady, great speaker, lots of good advice about PD. Her presentations about nutrition are thoroughly recommended.

There is a tendency by some on this forum to deify her which is maybe going a bit far

[lenamm]

My primary doc - love her! She got me to Switzerland also for brain surgery - without her I would have not known about it.

[Swolfepa3 in reply to lenamm]

I am also a Laurie fan. What treatment did you have in Switzerland?

[healthabc in reply to Swolfepa3]

yes, please share

[lenamm in reply to Swolfepa3]

pallidiothalamic tractotomy (PTT)

[nv2013 in reply to lenamm]

How did this surgery go? Are you happy with the outcome? How long ago did you do it?

[lenamm in reply to nv2013]

Great, yes, a little over a year ago

[nv2013 in reply to lenamm]

What symptoms did you have and which ones did you see improve? Would love to hear more about your experience.

Thank you

[lenamm in reply to nv2013]

Trixiedee's post answers most of that I believe healthunlocked.com/parkinso...

[lenamm in reply to nv2013]

Also a video I made explaining my results

youtube.com/watch?v=0jSjiht...(Not working as expected?)

[nv2013 in reply to lenamm]

Can you repost your video since I can’t open it. Thank you!

[lenamm in reply to nv2013]

I don't know another way to post it - if you search pallidiothalamic tractotomy on you tube I think it will come up

[Trixiedee]

Yes I think she’s great and very approachable on Facebook. She’s researched Parkinson’s from a naturopathic angle more than anyone else.

[PixelPaul]

She is very well known in the Parkinson's community, and for good reason. I'm also a patient of hers.

[AmyLindy]

She is Awesome/ educated , experienced & approachable . Take her online school - incredible value.

[AmyLindy]

She taught me more about my medication & lifestyle than any of my prescribing physicians ( I have a few )!

[Despe in reply to AmyLindy]

Amy, didn't she introduce you to the Mediterranean diet?

[AmyLindy in reply to Despe]

Yes she is pro- Mediterranean in general. But I am a drifter and tend to add GF/ low carb restrictions on my own volition.

[Pa-zzi69 in reply to AmyLindy]

Yes she is pro- Mediterranean diet in general, yet she advises against dairy products and pasta!… Don't these fit into the Mediterranean diet ?

[AmyLindy in reply to Pa-zzi69]

Yes-but some specific foods correlate w worse outcomes. See her research for details

[Rosenmu]

Her online class is well worth the money and she encourages good diet and exercise among other things. I've learned a lot even though I do a lot of research myself.

My father sees Dr Mischley and made some great improvement, he has regressed some but is much better than before seeing her.

[DroppinIn]

Her data driven advice and my discipline and hard work changed the course of the disease for me. I've actually improved over the past year, based on how I feel and measured by her ProPD measurement scale, that I take a few times a year. And she's a great person.

[JohnPepper]

Yers! I have met her and her dog, which identifies Pd patients by smell.

She lives in California
