Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease

FROM: Robert Rodgers, Ph.D.
THREE YEARS OF INTERVIEWS WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE PARKINSON'S REVEAL
...
I wish my mother could read the book I have written on Parkinson's
Disease but it is too late for her. She died ten years ago from a
stroke that was triggered by interactions and side effects of taking
too many medications.
There had to be another way. There had to be other decisions people
with Parkinson's could make that could help make them feel a great
deal better. So, I created Parkinsons Recovery three years ago and
launched an ambitious plan to interview people with Parkinsons who had
found ways to get sustained relief from their symptoms.
To surprise and delight, I ran across a few people who have fully
recovered. I also interviewed many people who have found therapies
that help them feel a lot better. How did they do it? That is what
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease is all about.
What is Road to Recovery about?
Road to Recovery is a book like no other book on Parkinson's. Other
books on Parkinsons share a common theme. They tell us in the
introduction that Parkinson's is a degenerative disease.
My research reveals this assertion is blatantly false. Many people
do recover. I believe that anyone can recover.
Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease documents how people with
Parkinson's get great relief from their symptoms. I also provide a
rich explanation of the factors that play a central role in causing
Parkinson's. In my view, a deficiency of dopamine is not the central
character here.
Symptoms of Parkinson's tell us something is out of balance in the
body. Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease explains the nature of
these imbalances and what people can do to bring the body back into
balance. Treatments and therapies that are effective in relieving the
symptoms of Parkinsons are explained, referenced and documented.
Yes. There are many approaches people are taking that have proven
helpful. How do I know this? Through my interviews!
Had a little quiet time this morning, and I started to read your
book. It is extremely interesting, I had a hard time putting it down.
I have been looking for some alternative ways to approach my health
lately, and your words seem to come at the perfect time.
The book is written extremely well and it's formatted perfectly for
a PD patient. In the past I was able to move from point a to b and
then c in warp speed. I now have a sideways approach towards
things.....I suppose I'm not as linear. I still get things done, but
in a new way. I find your book intelligently written, yet clear and
concise, which fits this sidetracked brain of mine. I'm sure PD'ers
will find it a pleasure to read also, a nice flow.
I am impressed with the time, energy, and insight you have obviously
put into each chapter. I bet this was your "baby" for quite some
time..hats off to you! You should feel extremely proud, it's quite an
accomplishment.
Blessings to you~

Why Did I Write Road to Recovery from Parkinson's Disease?
I am passionate about the support, resources and information I
provide to anyone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Why? I hold the belief that anyone - regardless of the "stage" of the
"disease," can heal.
Believe me. I am not naive. I realize many people think it is not
possible to reverse the symptoms. But, my research shows this belief
is false. My heart tells me that the reason people with Parkinson's
symptoms deteriorate over time is because they think that is what is
supposed to happen. The sabotage comes through our own negative
thoughts and beliefs.
I wrote Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease because I want to
change the false belief template that Parkinson's is "degenerative."
It is time to birth a new belief template, the true belief template
that recovery is possible now. Once the belief template has been
transformed, thousands of people with Parkinson's will find sustained
relief from their symptoms. It needs to happen now.
What does Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease Reveal?
* THE TRAUMA CONNECTION - Trauma has a profound impact on
Parkinson's symptoms. Release the trauma. Find relief from symptoms.
* THE TOXIN CONNECTION - There is no question about it. Toxins
cause the symptoms of Parkinson's. Get rid of the toxins. Find relief
from symptoms.
* THE THOUGHT FORM CONNECTION - When we think negative thoughts, we
manifest negative outcomes. Hold positive thoughts. Find relief from
symptoms.
* THE TRAUMA-TOXIN CONNECTION - Have you done all the detox
programs prescribed by your doctor but still see no relief in
symptoms? A traumatized body retains toxins no matter how many detoxes
you do.
* THE CREATIVITY CONNECTION - Symptoms of Parkinsons slow most
people down. Know what that means? Their creativity sores. They slow
down enough to find their passion and true purpose.
* THE POWER CONNECTION - People who recover from Parkinsons take
responsibility for their health. They take action to balance their
hormones. They get better.
* THE FAMILY CONNECTION - Some people with Parkinsons take on a
dynamic in their family that began at a time far away and long ago.
Identify the dynamic and the engine that drives the illness is sent to
the salvage yard.
* THE EXPERIMENTATION CONNECTION - There are a surprisingly large
number of therapies that are helping people with Parkinsons get
incredible relief from symptoms. Give one or more of the therapies a
trial run that are helping other people with Parkinsons. See what
happens to your symptoms. I am willing to bet money on the outcome.
* THE EXERCISE CONNECTION - People who exercise feel a lot better.
We don't need any more studies to "prove" this to be true.
* THE DIET CONNECTION - People who are meticulous about their diet
eat live foods for their live body. They feel better because they eat
food their bodies love.
Many people believe that symptoms of Parkinsons are caused by a
deficiency of dopamine. Western medicine is well equipped to give
bodies mega doses of dopamine, but the symptoms usually persist over
the long term. There must be something else going on here, don't you
agree?
Neurological difficulties are caused by several factors that can
combine together to make matters worse. Toxins construct roadblocks to
neurological pathways. Trauma crunches neurons so they do not function
properly. Packaged food rips out the vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants that are essential to healthy neurological functioning.
Couch potatoes clog up their lymph system so badly that is hurts to
walk across the living room.
The roots of Parkinsons originate in how we think moment to moment.
When we delete the debris of negative thinking that has been saved on
the hard drive in our brain, we have all the room that is needed to
manifest balance and harmony. When we identify and remove the seed
thought that underpins and sustain the symptoms, our best and highest
good is served at long last.
We feel better. The food of negative thoughts that feeds the
symptoms has been sent to the trash bin for good. People have told me
across the globe what they are doing for themselves to feel better.
Now I get to tell you the good news.
What Problem Does Road to Recovery From Parkinson's Disease Solve?
Where does a person usually turn to learn about therapies that might
give them relief from the symptoms of Parkinsons? The internet is the
logical choice for many people. The downside of this choice is that it
is easy to become discouraged about the prospects for recovery when
surfing the internet.
There are so many gloom and doom predictions on the internet about
Parkinson's. You can't help but run across web sites that offer wheel
chairs, assisted living arrangements and "cures" of one type of
another. It is hard to maintain an upbeat attitude when all you find
is help and assistance for the chronically disabled and offers from
quacks. This is all yucky stuff to encounter.
Internet research is one sure way to nurture negative thought forms.
When every place you visit preaches gloom and doom, you can't help but
begin to believe it all.
Let me be clear about the purpose and content of Road to Recovery
from Parkinson's Disease_._ Here is my "truth in advertising"
disclosure.
* You will not find any discussion of wheel chairs. They will not
be needed when you are far enough along on the road to recovery.
* You will not find any discussion of nursing homes. I believe you
can remain independent as long as you choose.
* You will not find any talk about "cures." I believe it is
terribly silly to think about "curing" yourself. Do you really want to
become like concrete or crispy bacon?
* You will find concrete discussions about choices you can make to
help yourself feel better.
* You will find a persistent theme of hope and optimism.
* You will find ways to transform beliefs about what the symptoms
are really telling you about the imbalances in your body.
* You will find suggestions you can run with to feel better.

What Helps People with Parkinson's?
Have you ever seen anyone who responds very poorly to medications?
You do not believe that Parkinson's is a disease? Do you not believe
that there is
physical damage to the part of the brain that produces Dopamine? Do
you not
believe that the damage has been verified by examining brain tissue
from deceased
Parkinson's patients? Is the brain not part of the body?
Is the brain just "out of balance"?
Have you ever seen anyone whose primary symptoms are pain and a very
unpleasant internal tremor or other sensation?
Do emotionally healthy, well loved people, who have had the
advantage of diet, get
Parkinson’s Disease?
Can you compare Alzheimer’s as a condition with Parkinson’s? Is one
or the other
easier or harder to address with regard to alleviating symptoms?
In terms of addressing the two, are there things that people with
Alzheimer’s can do
to get relatively quick relief, whereas people with Parkinsons can
do similar things
but it takes much longer to see relief?
I wonder why some people can ingest so called toxins and never get
Parkinson’s
Disease, and other people like myself do. It can’t be that
simplistic. It has to be a
combination many other factors.
I wonder when Parkinson’s Disease started? I wonder if it when the
industrial
revolution began, in the late 18th century, or before that?
What is the best way to determine an individual's need for specific
supplements -
vitamins, herbs, minerals, etc.?
With respect to your nutrition supplements of folic acid, vitamins
B6 and B12, how do
they help any further since the brain cells in the substantia nigra
are already
destroyed which has caused the Parkinson’s disease?
I have been diagnosed recently and am shooting for full recovery.
Progression seems
to be slow. I can’t find anywhere to compare my progression to. Any
help here?
I am wondering, how I will know which exercises are the most helpful
to me. Wouldn’t
this be the sort of thing a PT (physical therapist) would be needed
for? Or not?
What do you know about the effects of CoQ10 and vitamin E in PD? Is
it considered a
drug or a vitamin? Can you send me somewhere to get info?
How do you reduce stress?
Is there any evidence or information about the benefits of massage
for people with
Parkinsons?
How do you recommend we detoxify our bodies?
I have massive family issues, stress issues, have Parkinson's
Disease and am
49. Where do I start?
Have you heard of Low Level Light Laser Therapy for Parkinson’s? I
am interested in
hearing if any of your followers have used it?
Have you found pain to be a significant symptom in people with other
symptoms of
Parkinson’s disease, and if so, what they do to find relief?
For people who take L-dopa, it is common for them to feel worse
20-45 min after
taking the medication before finding relief?
Our bodies got sick because of some type of toxicity. At least that
is my belief. Do you
agree?
How do we get rid of the toxicity that is making us sick?
My dentist did hours of research & found the most helpful therapy
for Parkinsons
symptoms was using magnets margin-bottom: 0;">The cost of the
desktop (or download) version and the hard copy version of Road to
Recovery from Parkinsons Disease is the same: $32 USD. I explain the
difference between the two choices next.
Desktop (or Download)
The desktop (or download) PDF version gives you the advantage of
being able to click on the links throughout the book which take you
instantly to the web site of interest. The desktop (or download)
version of the book must be read on the computer. Of course, you can
always print the book out on your printer, but be warned it is 270
pages in length. A big advantage of ordering the desktop version is
that you get to begin reading it now.
