Parkinson's

Most people associate Parkinson’s disease with trembling or shaking hands.  While symptoms of involuntary muscle contraction, tremors and memory impairment generally appear around age 60, it can present in much younger people, as evidenced by the well known Canadian actor Michael J. Fox.  Parkinson’s is a degenerative disease that involves the loss of cells in the brain responsible for producing dopamine, a neurotransmitter that controls movement.  Drugs may improve some symptoms, but they have harsh side effects and do nothing to halt brain cell destruction or restore normal brain function.

Get Toxins Out

Parkinson’s has been related to contamination with mercury and lead, and pesticides such as organochlorides and organophosphates.  These pollutants devastate brain cells, significantly impairing function.  They occupy space at the cellular level and interfere with normal brain activity.  It’s like trying to live in a house full of garbage. Medical detoxification using intravenous injections is your best option to remove these toxins.

Feed Your Brain

Treatment with natural medicine focuses on nourishing your brain to produce more dopamine, and on the removal of toxins responsible for the loss of dopamine producing cells.  Vitamins, minerals and omega fats support brain function.  Optimizing the amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine is a priority.  They are used by the brain to produce dopamine.

Glutathione Therapy

A strong anti-oxidant, glutathione is given by injection to increase the sensitivity of your brain to dopamine.  It is also a powerful detoxifier that helps remove harmful chemicals responsible for Parkinson’s.  Dr. David Perlmutter, M.D., the world’s authority on this therapy, has reported remarkable results from just a single injection of glutathione.  It must be taken intravenously because oral glutathione is broken down in the digestive tract and does not boost cellular levels.  An important precursor to glutathione is N-acetylcholine.  It can be taken orally to protect the nerves in the brain from being destroyed by oxidative stress.

Important Measures

People with high levels of vitamin D and the steroid hormone DHEA have lower incidence of Parkinson’s.  Exhibiting hormone-like traits, vitamin D is assessed with a blood test.  Saliva or blood testing will accurately identify DHEA status.  Therapeutic doses are given for correction to ideal levels (not normal reference ranges).

Hope for Parkinson’s

The downward spiral of Parkinson’s can held in check.  Natural medicine and therapies will not only help improve symptoms, but also protect against further degeneration.  There is no time like the present to address this challenging condition.
