Come on everybody, now's your chance!
I am prepared to do another WORLD TOUR and personally show every patient -
'HOW TO OVERCOME THEIR PD!
I will come and personally show you how to walk FAST!, AS
Don't leave it, come right out and say it - "I DON"T BELIEVE YOU!"
I wish you could come show my husband in palm coast, FL. ❤️
do a search on LSVT in your area for Parkinson's big and loud.
The big is large steps as fast as you are able (not everyone can walk fast). Many insurances cover part of the costs. The loud is for speech to improve voice and also swallowing.
Hi Lynn.
At ninety years of age, I am not up to travelling long distances. Sorry, I left it too late!

LynnP1974 I live in Ormond By the Sea and would be glad to help - Just send me a DM
Do you mean that you would help me and my wife to fly 8000 miles to see you?
Vous viendriez à Reims, en France ? Le Champagne ne peut pas être mauvais pour Parkinson 😉😊 . J ai du mal à persuader certains de mes amis qu'il faut se bouger.
Hi John, greetings from Paris in France. I'll take you up on that one. My early morning (every morning) brisk walk of 90 minutes has become the core foundation of my natural therapy arsenal in fighting PD progress. I've achieved speeds of 6.7 kilometers per hour (not every day) but I'm sure I could do better with the appropriate coaching.
Hi Evenshoshan
It is not recommended that you should walk hard, every day, in fact, it is recommended that you rest every second day.
Keep up the good work!
John
Will do, thanks John.
I DO believe you and would love to walk with you!! Are you coming to the US?
At 90 years of age, I don't think I could stand that long trip to the USA from South Africa.
Can you think of any modern way of connecting?
John
It IS a long way!! As far as a modern way to connect, I’m not sure what would be best. I’ve done zoom calls but never been a host. I have email, a “smart” phone, a computer.
Happy to host a zoom call with you instructing us John! I have been a zoom host since way before covid, and have my own zoom account. We just have to wait until I am a little more settled with a new place to live. August or September?
I turn 90 in October and, have no reason to believe that I will not live until you get your act together.
Keep in touch and tell me when you want to Zoom me!
John
Lets try to do it before your birthday then. Will be in touch.
Will you contact me on 27th October?
hi John, I am enjoying your book! I am doing the work as you recommend, but I have so many questions about various issues that seem unique to my *flavor* of PD. Would be great to chat with you in person or online. I am 56. Symptoms started about 8 years ago. Best Regards, Brian Butler; New Zealand.
Hi Drummer
It would be my pleasure to coverse with you at any time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
John
I do believe you and it has been a major practice to my physical improvement of PD
Dear John, I do believe to you from Hungary! Are you planning to come to Europe?
Best
Kati
I turn 90 years old in October and I don't think my doctor will allow me to travel to Europe anymore.
Sorry!
We can still email!
Dear Mr. JOHN PEPPER, my name is Marcelo Elias, codename 2Ma3WbMc, as a member of our support group, where I discovered your name and data from your parkinsonian trajectory, highlighting fast walking to stop PD. Please, I would like to know all the details of how this exercise should be done, including other pertinent tips. I've had PD for about 3 years, and I'm not seeing much improvement with PROLOPA. Sorry for the inconvenience
I soon turn 90 and am slowly becoming immobile.
It would be foolish of me to plan another world trip, as much as I would love to.
Could you possibly come to South Africa? It cots the same going both ways.
Kind regards
John
That's a nice offer, John. If it fits into a possible schedule, you are welcome to join us in the southern Vosges (northeast France) .Possibly in combination with Pivouanne in Reims. I plan to organize a Parkinson's week in October, where fast walking can be applied as a main theme in practice. It is possible to accommodate around 8 participants. We are located in a beautiful region with ideal roads for practicing and also suitable for walkers. Let me know if you are interested and your plans have taken shape. I am still somewhat flexible with the dates. It would be wonderful to meet each other and discuss our perspectives over a good meal and a glass of wine!
Hi!I can join you? I live in Italy, I will be happy to come to Francia
Hi Gallaktika, Although it may be too difficult for John to make the trip to Europe, I still want to proceed with the original plan of organizing an informal PD week, with the aim of creating a safe and supportive environment where we can exchange experiences and understand and support each other. I will keep you and other interested members informed when there is a concrete program, but I am open to ideas for any further planning together.
Hi Esperanto. I am open to help wherever I can but, travel is out of the question.
What can I do to help others with their PD?
Your contribution could have been how a practical lesson (preferably 3) during that week for PWP might look, where we could potentially also attract participants from the region. What could be better than being instructed and inspired by the master himself! Additionally, you have amassed a wealth of experience in other PD areas as well, which you might have shared with us. I will try to take on the fast walking instruction myself, but that remains a substitute. Understandably, John, a trip to Europe is too much, considering your physical condition. Take care!
I did a WORLD TOUR to all the English-speaking countries, at my own expense, several years ago, even though I was over 80 years old.
I don't think I could do it again, physically or financially.
I received a lot of donations towards the costs of that trip but they did not cover all the costs.
I wish I was able to do it agian, but, at nearly 90, it would be foolish, but I am very tempted
Love this Esperanto, so generous of you! Wish I could come to France!
I live in Cape Town, in South Africa, which is a long way from Italy.
Are you able to come here?
I’m not sure if this question was meant for me or not, but I cannot come to South Africa. I wold love to come to Italy, or France but I’m not able to go there either.
I am unable to travel anywhere anymore. I am stuck here at home with all m my memories and my family. I am very happy and hope I have been of some help to others.
Not a bad place to be stuck! You are a lucky one! Enjoy what remains of your good long life "stuck" at home with your family and memories! Thank you for your generous contributions to the Parkinson's "Club", you have been a very inspiring and motivational for many of us!
Helping others with PD is what keeps me going.
John Peppers at work with PwPs, no mice!!!🐭
*Concentration* is the key word!
Thank you for your kindness. No matter how much I will it to swing, my left hand/arm simply does not obey my will - fine-motor movement up the spout...
If I asked you to show me how far you can lift your left arm up in front of you, are you telling me that you are totally unable to lift that arm at all?
Sorry to say I have not read your book (on my list), but can you difine fast walking and any differences between walking, jogging and running. Also is it the cadence or is it about heart rate? I am in the prodromal phase and train daily using a zone 2 method - heart rate target is 120 - 125 with a max rate of 180 or higher (have not tested lately)
Fast walking is what it says - WALKING AS FAST AS YOU CAN!
Dear John. When are you coming to Ireland?
At nearly 90 years of age, I don't think I am going anywhere again in my life . My days of travelling are over.
I have done my share of helping others and am in need of help myself.
I have had a couple of nasty falls and am busy nursing my wounds.
I am feeling my age. at long last.
I hope I have been of help to others, over the past few years but, now I feel that I am in need of help myself.
I don't know what anyone can do for me, as it is pure and simple, OLD AGE!
I am not looking for sympathy as there is nothing to sympathize for.
May I wish you all a wonderful future, free of any nasty health issues.
Kindest regards and good wishes
John Pepper
