I’m struggling with my health at the moment and I’m feeling a bit like it is all too much? I have Parkinson’s and I’ve had it since I was diagnosed in March 2017 I’ve had it about I believe appropriately 10 years? My mother also had Parkinson’s and she was quite bad with it towards the end of her life!! She had it for approximately 30 years. I don’t see myself lasting that long?
I do feel that anyone that gets Parkinson’s. we are not all the same but may have similar issues with this degenerating disease! Please take really good care of yourselves as I hope that there’s a cure out there very soon??

I can identify with you. Thanks for encouraging words. My dad had Parkinson's and passed away at 95. It has horrible to watch him decline. He was day in his late 80s.I was diagnosed In 2017 with Parkinsonism by a neurologist. A movement specialist said I have Parkinson's because I responded to c/l. I am frustrated just like you. Keep the faith. This group has been wonderful and helpful! God bless you!
Hi Rocky. I was diagnosed with Pd in 1992. My symptoms started in 1963, but because I did a lot of gym exercise and jogging, it took 29 years before it was diagnosed. I continued to get worse, a lot quicker after diagnosisnbecause I did 50% more gymand jogging. In 1994, I had to stop working in my CEO job and retired. IN 1994, I started doing Fast Walking, with my late wife, because it had done her a lot of good. After only four months my condition started to get better. After four years my motor symptoms were so much better I stopped taking my MAO-b inhibitor, the only medication I took since 1992, when my neurologist placed me on Sinemet. I took myself off that in 1994 and another neuroogist put me ontom the MAO-b inhibitor. In 2002 I was so well that I wrote a book about it, which I have contiuously brought up-to-date d=since then. In a recent study carried out by the Mayo Clinic in the USA, they proved conclusivlely that high intensity aerobic exercise, which fast walking is, produces two natural chemicals in the brain, which repair the damaged brain cells. That meean we have more dopamine in the brain and our Pd gets better.
Whty mess around with medication, when there is a way to get better? Medication s=does nothing to reverse our symptoms, they only make our condition worse.
I am retireds and receive no money from anybody for telling you this, but it really does work!
How fast do you have to walk for results? I'm afraid of falling if I go too fast. Haven't fallen so far. Just diagnosed with osteoporosis so I'm a little nervous about falling.
You must walk as fast as you can. Do you know how to do Conscious Walking? If you do, then you will not fall and you will be able to wallk much faster.Please contact me and I will send you all the detaoils and videos.
Hi John pepper you for your message it’s good news that you are getting out and about and improving your exercise plan. I will take a leaf out your book and concentrate on more exercise. Thank you for your inspiration. Take care @
I don't want to be a nag but, the ONLY EXRECISE THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE HIGH INTENSITY AEROBIC EXERCISE, WHICH FAST WALKING IS. Any other forms of exercise do not necessarily help Pd. Walking costs nothing and only needs a pair of good shoes. What is the problem?
Hi Rocky. I pressed the wrong button in the middle of my last response.
I wanted to ask you if you read this report in HU on Big Pharma?
If you didn't then you must!
I have spent the past 20 odd years telling Pd patients that medication only MASKS THE SYMPTOMS! It does not slow down the progression of Pd. The Mayo Clinic Report confirms what I have been telling everybody since 2002 - "High Intensity Aerobic Exercise produces the magic chemical called GDNF! GDNF repairs the damaged brain cells and the brain then produces more DOPAMINE and thayt means we ger better!!!!
If we stop the exercise then the Pd continues to damage the brain cells, so we have to continue to exercise. There is no cure, which in my opinion is because Big Pharma only looks for cures for illnesses that do not kill us! COVID-19 was only with us for a few months before they had a vaccine to stop it killing us. Isn't that incredible!
The medical world makes far more money out of treating people than they do out of curing them. So! Why find cures for illnesses that don't kill us?
There is no alternative for us Pd patients, we HAVE TO DO HIGH INTENSITY AEROBIC EXERCISE! Fast Walking is the cheapest and most effective HIGH INTENSITY AEROBIC EXERCISE! If you tell yourself you cannot do fast walking, but you can walk from your bed to the kitchen, then you can do fast walking.
To say that there is nothing we can do about Pd is an absolute LIE.
I have reversed most of my mocement symptoms and hav elived a normal life, Pd medication-free since 2002.
Big pharmas and the medical profession have no interest in this and conveniently say that I don't have Pd! Why? because they don't want others to do what I am doing.
