ParticipantI go to a functional neurologist. He’s a chiropractor. He gives me brain exercises to do during my visit and I have homework. I believe it’s helping. It’s keeping my parkinson’s at the mild form. I was diagnosed in 2017. But looking back I probably had it for years.

ParticipantThe exercises vary. One exercise is a figure 8 with my left foot one direction and figure of 8 with right hand the other direction. Then switch sides. Following squares on the wall diagonally. Exaggerated arm and leg walking. Following my left thumb from right to left with eyes and head. Then switch thumbs, etc . Too many to list .

ParticipantHey Sharon… thanks for sharing your experiences with us. How did you decide to start visiting this particular practitioner? Did they mention whether their treatment involved the BIG programme to you? I very curious about the “cross over” exercises they suggest. Left foot, right hand, then switch. Eye movement exercises. Does your treatment regime address iRBD (REM sleep disorder issues)? Just curious….

ParticipantHi Ally,
I do everything possible to combat Parkinson’s. Of late I have begun taking the Probiotic Neuralli with good results. My walking is much better. I do Accupuncture weekly along with massage twice a month. My thought is that if it gives me some hope it is well worth it. I am also pursuing the Vibrating Glove. I am too late for their study, but it may be offered to the public in August of this year possibly. My regime is also traditional P.T. , diet, exercise and medication as prescribed. I will keep you posted….Blessings, Mike

ParticipantThanks for sharing, Mike! How long have you been trying acupuncture? Does it target specific areas? Does it hurt?

ParticipantI’m into my 4th month on Neuralli (the company says it might take 3 months for results). So far I’d have to say it’s been a waste of money. Sad. Regarding acupuncture I read the recent study here from China. I’d like to try it but the study didn’t identify meridian (?) lines so was little more than a tease.
OF more interest to me were the two gut microbiome studies from China and France. It would be great if the topic and possible benefit of stuff like Neuralli in modifying PD was a Forum topic.

ParticipantAlly,
I have been taking acupuncture treatments for about 6 months now. It does not hurt. My Practitioner is very good and encourages me a lot. She targets whatever area I ask for but more she works on my stiffness and balance. I enjoy it which also helps lots. Thanks for the question. Blessings, Mike

ParticipantClaudia,
Neuralli has helped my walking lots. My legs are lighter, my digestion is better and it has helped my attitude. I recently had a tooth pulled and was on Antibiotics. The Neuralli effects were neutralized, I could definitely feel that. Now my tooth is healed and I feel the full effects of Neuralli again. Blessings, Mike

ParticipantCan anyone recommend some pertinent literature that would allow a DOPE (amine addict, LOL) like me to catch up on what appears to be a recent pharmacotherapeutic treatment for PwP? I live in NZ and my neurologist offers little info to his patients, unless yo are able to question directly. Thanks Ally.

ParticipantI’m not but would like to be. Of particular interest is acupuncture, CBD and the microbiome. interestingly today WebMD ran an article on Ashwagandha in which they said the Indian herb may be effective in Parkinson’s. Does anyone use it and to what effect?

ParticipantAlan, my functional neurologist was trained by Ted Carrick of the Carrick institute https://carrickinstitute.com/media/
They help people with concussion and other brain injuries, Alzheimer’s, etc .
I don’t know exactly how it all works. I’m still learning.
