I'm a bit confused as I can't see this one on the clinical trials pipeline list. Maybe I'm looking at an out of date one.

I looked into it a year ago. It did not win me over. It is suspiciously expensive, and no one having the treatment is coming here to say good news.

Take a look at this thread from a year ago: Zhittya treatment claims to reduce PD symptom's by 50% healthunlocked.com/cure-par...

And this thread from 2 years ago: Zhittaya June 2023 update healthunlocked.com/cure-par...

There are good reasons to be skeptical of Zhittya. They are doing clinical trials outside of the US in countries with little supervision, and charging large sums to participate. The treatment, which is alleged to increase circulation, is lacking a sound theoretical basis for why it should work in Parkinson's.

I looked for some clinical studies....the best I could do was a video made two years age, with the same info.💞

I was a little excited until I got to "That’s according to a press release by Zhittya Genesis Medicine, the therapy’s developer".

I don't have the link to the video handy, but Zhittya posted before and after treatment videos of two patients walking and sitting down and standing up from chairs a couple of years ago. The walking examples were not very long and not in a hallway and you really could not tell anything (that's my memory). The before and after chair videos were worse and the chair in the before and after were not really similar. I recall they were different heights and not the same type of chair. It just did not seem professional and was about as far from a UPDRS test as you can get.

At least that is my recollection. I know a lot of us saw the videos.

I found the video with the before and after. It starts at 22:48. I should have it queued up here:

Hype or hope?

[MBAnderson in reply to peminc]

Hype

[Pixelpixie]

this is a sketchy study. I’ve not seen (and I read voraciously) anything to substantiate the claim. The participants self paid to be treated outside US on an island so psychologically, they’d be primed to “improve.”

[Judithdalston in reply to Pixelpixie]

A few weeks in the weather of the British Virgin Islands would have me ‘skipping’ about like a spring lamb after a GB winter!

[Armyman]

I had a phone conversation with Dan Montano the president of the company a few years ago. He didn’t like that. I was asking a lot of questions and became rude and dismissive telling me he didn’t have time for people that didn’t read the literature first. I checked out his website back then and the staff appeared to be mostly family members.

[Rupa88]

it is a scam, rootless claim

It is all about money

[peminc in reply to Rupa88]

Yup!

[drumhead]

I looked into some treatment on their website a couple years ago and came to the conclusion they are not legit, that's putting it nicely. They seem to rely on desperate and gullible, or those who want to believe without digging deeper, or not having the ability to decipher and wade through the BS.

[blackbear701]

I am not convinced that this is anything more than a scam. I've watched the before and after videos and, IMO, the videos aren't doing the company any favors as they are so underwhelming. What I would be most interested in is hearing from a poster, Graciedog123, who tried the FGF-1 and said she would give an update in 6-9 months. I think all of us here would be very interested in that.

These people have no heart, it's unbelievable, giving people hope and conning them. I hope they get their comeuppance somehow.
