I’ve been taking Turmeric for several years now.  It very nicely replaced an NSAID in controlling pain/inflammation.  Long-term NSAID use has its danger of side effects, so that in itself makes it worth it.  However, a cure for Parkinson’s it is not.

perhaps the most helpful I’ve found:

Gut Health and the NU-AGE Mediterranean Diet

but it’s mostly over my head.

I can’t see how to start a new forum.  I think this potential breakthrough deserves one, although there doesn’t seem to be enough information to research it further.

What helped us is that, from early on, we realized that it isn’t my diagnosis, but *our* diagnosis, and we are a team fighting this thing called Parkinson’s.  She is with me at every appointment.  We discuss every change in medication and routine.

For example, I started getting up 10 minutes earlier in order to facilitate 15 minutes of P…[Read more]

• 15 min resistance: sit-ups, push-ups, therapy band
• 20 min power moves PWR!Moves
• 10 min stretches

Then I try to do a 4th time each week boxing with a heavy and a speed bag.  I’m really not good at the speed bag.

I spent ~60 days consecutive at Camp Geiger, MCB Camp Lejeune NC during the time period of what is arguably our country’s worst water pollution scandal.  PD is “presumptive” for this exposure with as little as 30 nonconsecutive days, meaning that it was relatively easy to obtain VA disability benefit.  In the years following that exposure, I a…[Read more]
