Has anyone followed The Parkinson's Protocol by Jodi Knapp?

[kaypeeoh]

To learn more than the title requires spending $49.00. Any ideas what he/she is selling?

Hi kaypeeoh, I hope you are kidding. This is starting to look like a troll....

Identical question posed about this stuff by this snake oil salesman:

[kaypeeoh in reply to pdpatient]

Thanks, the ad suggests wonderful results but then wants a credit card number for more info. That's why I posted here. I didn't realize this had already been looked into.

[pdpatient in reply to kaypeeoh]

No worries. We just have to be wary of bizzare claims.

[kaypeeoh in reply to pdpatient]

Bizarre not bizzare. What's the 'obnoxious' emoticon??

[pdpatient in reply to kaypeeoh]

Thanks for the spell check. I don't see any emoticon in this thread... and BTW, even if there was, I wonder why you would find it "obnoxious"

[kaypeeoh in reply to pdpatient]

I've had long experience correcting people's grammar online. They seldom appreciate my efforts.

[pdpatient in reply to kaypeeoh]

Hi Kaypeeoh.

For the record, I was genuinely thanking you. I was not being sarcastic.

I took both of my kids to the Scripps National Spelling Bee Championship Finals representing their school 8 years in a row. So I know the importance of Spelling. I could have pretended it to be a typo, and attributed it to Parkinson's unsteady fingers, except it was not. I am embarrassed by it. If you are a spelling enthusiast, you know that this word "bizarre" is a common word that often trips up first round contestants in school spelling bees.

Man, what else is this disease going to take away from me? I hope that my brah worthy strong memory and hopefully stable cognitive abilities are still intact as measured by my recent test. Things like these alarm me.

You didn't answer my question about the emoticon.

In the second grade I lost in a spelling bee, against 7 girls in my class. I forgot the second P in pumpkin. That shame cauterized in me. Now It bugs me that smart phones are 'dumbing down' the youth of America. I hate it when someone writes 'irregardless' when they mean irrespective or writes 'alot' when they mean a lot or allot. My daughter has a 4-year degree in English and a masters degree in mass communication AKA library science. She's worse than me about grammar mistakes.

(Somehow, I did not see any of the above comments until I posted mine.)

Did you listen to the video on her website?

She has a bachelor's degree in psychology, used to be a real estate agent, and used to work for an insurance company as a dispute mediator.

testimonial;

"The changes came in days, improved over weeks and have lasted for years.

I won’t go into all 8 ways of beating the heck out of this illness here. But let me tell you briefly about three of the main ones."

In general, I think a good rule of thumb is that anyone who claims to be able to resolve and reverse Parkinson's, but will not tell you how unless you give them money is a scam.

"Case study: Steve Peterson; testimonial

I still have Parkinson’s Disease. My specialist told me I always will.

But I don’t suffer from the illness any more. And that’s the difference.

Despite everything medical that was going wrong for me then… my life is now back to normal.

Actually, a little better than normal.

I’m one of thousands who have transformed their health…. But I still feel blessed.

Let me tell you how this turnaround happened."

It broke my BS meter.

PS. Her clinic is in Florida. Bad sign.

[MBAnderson in reply to MBAnderson]

PSS. In addition to her book on Parkinson's, she has a book wherein she cures hypothyroidism.

[MBAnderson in reply to MBAnderson]

PSSS. This is the best offer I've ever run across from any health guru -- in my whole life.

She has a book to cure diabetes the sells on Amazon for $970, but don't fret, because you can buy used copies for $324. No shit.

Does that include free delivery, you think?

[pdpatient in reply to MBAnderson]

Hi MBA. You would be shocked to see how many desperate folks are out there who would "gladly" give up that money in order to get the "fairy tale" relief.

That being said, there are honest more fairly priced books out there that properly and scientifically show how to put the disease of type 2 diabetes (through obesity and sedentary lifestyle) into remission through strict diet, exercise and fasting that leads to substantial weight loss under doctor supervision. Remission means that medication is no longer necessary for controlling diabetes.

I only pray and hope that this charlatan is not using semantics and presenting the same concepts as a "cure" and duping people while at the same time making usurious money and if challenged, point to the genuine proven concept of remission.

[MBAnderson in reply to pdpatient]

Agree.

Seems to me, legitimate doctors, like Dr. Constantine, Dr. Jeanmonod, Dr. Laurie Mishley and hundreds of others put videos of their presentations at conferences and seminars out for free.

Many of them write books, so all the content is in one place, but they also make that content free in other places.

Plus, we need to take a hard look at anyone or make superlative claims, which they decline to reveal.

All health "gurus" have to speak some truth -- except Anthony Williams.

Clickbait.
