Thanks for sharing! I see cure stories starting on page 83. Not endorsing the theories, but so nice to see them explained in such detail.

"Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and MS can be brought into permanent remission on a Living Foods nutritional therapy approach. As a nutritional lifestyle these diseases can be stopped and kept at a distance once they are put into remission through this Live-food nutrition therapy. This book presents real people, some cured and some not, it is about clinical experience, journal studies, testimonials and advanced nutritional understandings. This work is about five years of research. It involves a major lifestyle change moving into a Live-Food or raw vegan diet, and doing juice fasting, smoothies, and juicing. Having a positive spiritual approach and exercise routine is also helpful. The case studies and testimonials are part of the evidence that these neuro-degenerative diseases can be put into complete remission."

Howard Shifke and Bianca Mole come to mind

[Xenos in reply to Little_apple]

They did not do fasting, did they ?

[park_bear in reply to Bolt_Upright]

I read the relevant pages 83 – 91. The text focused on the exceptional people who were cured, but also tells us that the vast majority of people who undertook these methods were not cured.

[HekateMoon]

Really interesting. Ill get it. Im not too consistent with raw vegan. Tried before...but i was vegan for many years. Nothin to lose...people heal. I believe this.

[Bolt_Upright in reply to HekateMoon]

If you listen to the carnivore proponents on YouTube, there might be something to lose going vegan/vegetarian. I don't know which side is correct.

I am still interested in the fasting. I am still researching fasting.

I was not aware of this book but coincidentally am following a juice fast for cancer offered by Spain’s Budwig Center. Interestingly, I was able to reduce my Sinemet and Amantadine dose by half per day after the first 8 days of the fast. It involves a two week detox with herbs and teas before the actual fast. The director told me that Parkinson’s was no different from other diseases - simply an accumulation of toxins that need to be eliminated. For what it’s worth.

[Thal in reply to Reggietoo]

Less meds sounds fantastic thanks

[gomelgo]

was at the Woodstock Fruit Festival this summer and people were telling me that the author was there but I never found him and they didn't know the full title of the book. Thank you for this! I tried and tried and was not able to find it till now.

[PDWarrior1900]

This is a GREAT GREAT GREAT post! thank you! I just started reading this... I am on the O.M.A.D. diet (one meal a day with all food eaten within a 2 hour window so i fast at least 22 hours daily)..... and today is day #261! (I've also LOST over 50 pounds!)

[healthabc in reply to PDWarrior1900]

...but have your PD symptoms improved?

[PDWarrior1900 in reply to healthabc]

as you probably know.... we all are doing "so many things" -- it's practically impossible to tell which 'one' thing is helping (or hurting!) our symptoms, right? ... i'm early PD (about 1 1/2 years since my first visible tremor in my left thumb... but nearly 100% of all my tremors have been "internal") .... my neuro/MDS said this to me at my first appt in September, after his exam: "The good news is that you don't have Parkinson. The bad news is that you don't have Parkinson."

WTF??????

He ordered blood work (which I never did because I didn't trust this doc) and gave me an option for a DatScan (which he said would probably be inconclusive) --- so I skipped that.

I'm doing the #1 prescription that we all know about:

"DIET and EXERCISE"

[Smittybear7 in reply to PDWarrior1900]

What do you eat with the 1 meal diet?

[PDWarrior1900 in reply to Smittybear7]

anything healthy

fruit, veggie pizza (cauliflower crust), potatoes, eggs, nitrate/nitrite/ no antibiotic meat from costco... seafood...

one of the lessons i've learned from watching 100s of health videos is this:

*Make your main meal 'veggies' ...

that fills me up fast....

i don't do that every day but most days i do....

i've lost about 60 pounds very easily this way....

i rarely eat more than 1500 calories for the O.M.A.D.

today is day #323!

it's amazing how fast time goes by when you 'watch it' ....

one day at a time

p.s. i use a 'food calorie diary' and i measure/ weigh / count my food

....as ... i begin my meal ... this way i can be sure not to go over my limit and 1500 calories in one meal is a LOT of food

good luck!

But what about those that can't afford to lose weight like my husband who now weighs what I weigh - 134 lbs? He used to weigh 165. He is already skin and bones.

[Reggietoo in reply to slimweiss]

The Budwig Center writes this about unwanted weight loss: “Fruit & Vegetable Juices help thin people to gain weight and overweight people return to a healthy weight. Only vegetable juice or water fasting are notorious for weight loss, but not this fruit/Veggie/Teas/Soup/Water approach. That’s the advantage of consuming both fruits and vegetables. When you consume juices, its literally an “enzyme therapy” as it floods the body with live natural enzymes, which is nothing like enzymes sold in a pill. Also, it thins the blood and thinning the blood is one the most important things you can do when you are sick, and juices do that. That allows your circulation to get deeper in your body into the vital areas, into the capillaries that were filled with fat and all clogged-up.“

[Xenos in reply to Reggietoo]

At the same time, fruit juices - even natural - are full of sugar. An excess of that opens the door to type 2 diabetes...

[AlanJza in reply to Reggietoo]

Too much sugar. Why intermittent fasting works is that for some of the time you are producing ketaones which bypass complex 1 of Electron Transport Chain We should only trust that which has evidenced mechanisms

[jeeves19]

I suspect that the tenent of this argument is sound, but never underestimate how difficult it is to fast for many months, every day. It can get a bit depressing at times.

[slimweiss in reply to jeeves19]

yes! One of my husbands pleasures these days is eating! I can’t imagine taking that away from him too. And juices have a lot of sugar unless you do your own juicing which I don’t do.

"warning religious bias"

That's a tremendous understatement. I received the book today ...🤨

[kevowpd]

Just nonsense. PD is cell death. By the time PD can be dx, the cells have been slowly dying for a decade. And no, it isnt just the Dopaminergic neurons in the snpc, either. There is simply no evidence, nor has any kind of conceptual framework been presented suggesting that it is even possible, that the abovementioned lifestyle choices can reverse that cell death. Could future cell death be impacted? Sure, but that wont get you 'remission'.

[Xenos in reply to kevowpd]

Astrocytes can be turned into neurons, stem cells can be activated to grow as dopaminergic cells...

[kevowpd in reply to Xenos]

Can they? Through the adoption of the "Live-food nutrition therapy"?

[Xenos in reply to kevowpd]

These are the mechanisms that have been mentioned as possible by doctors who have dealt with cases of spontaneous healing.

[kevowpd in reply to Xenos]

Cases of spontaneous healing indicate misdiagnosis.

[Smittybear7]

Great information. How do I find a health coach to guide me through a detox and diet in Pgh. PA? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
