Meditation - A potential case of remission of Parkinson’s disease

Abstract:

We present the case of a 78-year-old male who, 16 years ago, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) by a neurologist. He initially presented with left-hand tremor, stooped posture, shuffling gait, and frequent falls, which eventually progressed to bilateral motor symptoms after 3 years. Since 2012, his symptoms and signs have almost completely remitted, and he has been off all pharmacotherapy for that time. The accuracy of the initial PD diagnosis is supported by an appropriate clinical presentation, history of positive response to Sinemet, and an abnormal SPECT DaT scan; thus this case suggests the possibility of remission of symptoms in some patients. We propose that the patient’s long history of meditation practice may have been one contributing factor of this improvement as meditation has been shown to release dopamine in the striatum.

I know about the videos but they jump all over the place. Surely he has a guided curriculum.

These are the available meditations sold on his website:

drjoedispenza.com/collectio...

Then there's this link for where to start:

"There are a lot of meditations to choose from and there is no specific order in which they should be used.

However, when asked, we usually suggest that people begin with the Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself Meditations.

We would next suggest choosing one of these meditations which are also beginner-level meditations:

You are the Placebo 1, 2, or;

Blessing of the Energy Centers 1

After practicing the above meditations, choose from the following progressive meditations. You may choose to do them all at some point in whatever order appeals to you.

Tuning in to New Potentials

Reconditioning the Body to a New Mind

Changing Beliefs and Perceptions

Once you have practiced all of aforementioned Meditations, you are well prepared for the remaining meditations found on Dr. Joe’s website, which are considered to be more advanced."

.......

However, little from this above has worked for me.

What I found may help me in the long run was reading the book "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" which I purchased from Amazon.ca because on Dr Joe's website, the cost for delivery was 50$...

Then I bought the "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" meditation download on Dr Joe's website.

Just about everything else mentioned above is not working FOR ME.

Meditation is a skill that takes time and consistent practice. I started with his Progressive Workshop found on his website for $299.00 dollars and includes 30 hours of training and includes meditations. It’s worth every penny and can be done from home. The science is fascinating and to fully benefit from his program, you must understand the why and what.

I later attended an advanced retreat. m.youtube.com/watch?feature...
