PARKINSON’S DISEASE – CAUSES, RECOVERY & BOWEN

PARKINSON’S DISEASE – CAUSES, RECOVERY & BOWEN

Here, below, is a link to a YouTube video of a short presentation delivered at the 2024 Bowen Therapists Federation of Australasia Conference in Hahndorf, South Australia, in August 2024.

I had only 40 minutes to cover 25 years of experience and research, so skipped through many parts.

If this video interests you and you want to know more, I am happy to email a PDF copy of the slides. Just email me on [e-mail]. There is no charge.

“Celebrating those with vision, determination and courage”

Parkinson’s Disease is one of a cluster of diagnosable disease states considered progressive, degenerative and irreversible.

The Western Medical Model considers the causes to be largely unknown although there is extensive research into interim symptoms thought to be causes of diagnosed symptoms – for instance, single pathogenic bacteria in the gut, dysregulation of certain enzymes, etc.

In this presentation, we will discover the underlying causes of Parkinson’s and similar disorders; causes that have been known for decades but never medically associated with Parkinson’s.

We will explore ways to find the causes for each individual and how to develop recovery strategies.

We will discuss where Bowen fits into the journey from illness to wellness.

Along the way, we may meet some surprising heroes with vision, determination and courage.

Gerald Ford was the president you were trying to remember

[crewmanwhite in reply to Boscoejean]

Not sure what you mean by this. I was not trying to remember a president's name. Can you let me know the part you are mentioning here?

[Boscoejean in reply to crewmanwhite]

aspartame mentioned at around 17 minutes on the video and its approval and I believe Gerald Ford may have been the US president at the time

[crewmanwhite in reply to Boscoejean]

Thanks. Ronald Regan

If it was all that simple than why isn’t it all over the web ie; people cured … I have been tested for infections and inflammation and there are none to be found. Since being diagnosed with PD I eat superfoods for the brain and mitochondria, go to the gym and cut out inflammatory foods (milk, bread, rice etc). I take a few vitamins eg: Q10, fish oil, multivitamin, B complex, vit D and magnesium. I still have PD and if I don’t take levodopa all my symptoms come back. I am happily married and have 3 gorgeous kids…. Work full time and am financially secure…so I wish it was all as simple as John presented…. I don’t believe he had PD rather he had a host of many other health issues related to other stresses in his life … just my thoughts

Hello Isotope

Nobody said it was simple. Our health and illness processes are complex, but I had 40 minutes to deliver 25 years of research.

I am sure that, if you were prepared to produce the sort of information I demand in my initial questionnaires, we would be able to figure out what is causing your symptoms. BTW, I no longer accept new patients, so this is NOT touting for business.

Did I have PD? Does anybody? If you truly watched my video, you would understand that PD is just a name for a group of complex symptoms with known causes. Much medical research has revealed this, but not with the name PD attached because funding would dry up if too much truth was told.

My diagnosis came from a Professor of Neurology, another neurologist, a neuro surgeon, three separate doctors, two naturopaths and a craniosacral therapist.

We have to assume that, at least some of them were as smart as you and, as they actually saw me, took my history and observed my progress, had a little more knowledge of my health and illness that someone who has never met me nor read my life story.

Just saying.

[crewmanwhite in reply to ShopKeeper]

Yeah, sorry. Actually Ronald Regan and Donald Rumsfeld

[Boscoejean in reply to crewmanwhite]

well the part about 1974 was what threw me off but that was when it was initially allowed by the FDA when Gerald Ford was president and I messaged the long article that you probably have already seen about Donald Rumsfeld and Ronald Reagan's involvement.

[crewmanwhite in reply to Boscoejean]

Thank you for updating my information.

[Hope-full1970]

Thank you for sharing this! It is a great overview of what is written in your book "Rethinking Parkinsons Disease ." It is exactly what I have been looking for and aligns with what I have been thinking all along. Thank you for being a beacon of light in the Parkinsons community and continuing to share hope, help and healing. I am thankful for you!! (:

[crewmanwhite in reply to Hope-full1970]

Good luck on your journey to wellness. You CAN be well.

What an inspiring talk. I am now full of hope for a better future. Already found a Naturopath near me and will book an appointment. The bit about trauma was very interesting. I am due to see my Parkinsons nurse soon and was thinking of asking if I should start to have more meds but that is now going on the back burner. I am only on Rasagiline at the moment. Thank you.

[crewmanwhite in reply to 072011]

If your naturopath would like my help, I am happy to mentor them

[072011 in reply to crewmanwhite]

Thank you. I received the PDF slides. Much appreciated.
