Will they discuss FAST WALKING? I doubt it, because it is the only thing that works, and the medical world don't appear to be interested in it!

I wonder why?

dearest John, you have certainly managed to avoid the complications of PD with your fast walking, but you are a bit obsessed with this thing, and this doesn't show you anything else. I don't know if it's a collateral symptom of fast walking... 😀

I have been responding to other people's questions! The fact that the answer is always the same is unfortunate. I am not able to refer them to previous posts!

Sorry to be so BORING!

See below From the disclaimer in the article :

--------------------------------------

This article is sponsored by Charco Neurotech, the technology company behind the CUE1 – a wearable medical device designed to help alleviate gait impairment and support movement in people with Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s Europe is sharing this article for information purposes only; it does not represent Parkinson’s Europe’s views and is not an endorsement by Parkinson’s Europe of any particular treatments, therapies or products.

------------------_-------------------------

The bottom line is that the author is protecting themselves from liability by saying that it is a sponsored article and Parkinson's Europe is washing its hands off the claims made by the article.

Honestly, I think that if there is something that really works or likely to work, it needs to be FDA approved. There needs to be a reputable third party ratification done before we rush to buy these things

Not what you're looking for?
