A great visual look at the subject of parkinson’s disease prognosis.
maureen speaks a bit on the ‘mission’ behind these non scripted ‘in the moment’ videos that aim to create awareness of the mysterious illnesses rooted in the brain, such as parkinson’s disease which she has lived with for 13 years. here is the outline for a foundation that will donate funds to help the living maintain an optimum quality of life… NOW! we are creating a place as aids and cancer groups have done to concentrate not only on cures. please, take that money that’s going to buy a plaque with your name on it, to live across eternity on a hospital wall, AND/OR, share supporting the search for a cure and buy someone’s groceries, pay past due bills to help ‘catch up’, provide supplements … ad infinitum. thank you again for watching. spread the word ! BE BOLD AND KEEP YOUR BOD IN MOTION !
A question asked by Bobsyouruncle: Is there a way to reduce signs of Parkinson’s disease at its early stages?
What are the signs of it at the early stages?
Selected answer:
Answer by erbs2005 Symptoms may be mild at first. For instance, the patient may have a mild tremor or a slight feeling that one leg or foot is stiff and dragging.
There are no clear risk factors or preventions for PD. Central body obesity may increase the risk. Some studies have found that coffee drinking or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women may decrease the risk of PD. However, heavy coffee drinking in combination with HRT appears to increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease.

Question posed by Denise: Has there ever been a child diagnosed with parkinson’s disease?
My sons body vibrates. It is noticeable in his hands and head. Everything I search points to parkinson’s. His grandfather and great grandfather have been diagnosed with parkinson’s, but the doctors I’ve asked say that my son can’t have it because he’s too young. (My son is 10.) I don’t think the disease cares how old a person is.
The top answer:
Answer by christigmc I think the youngest someone has ever gotten Parkinson’s is 30. I think his shaking is probably due to seizures or epilepsy. Have his doctors checked for that?

A question from Gypsy Whitemoon: Is parkinson’s a motor nurone disease and is there any natural therepies to aleviate symptoms? thanks?
Most detailed answer:
Answer by Vrishabha There is no treatment for this disease. People claim that Yoga can help to reduce the effect. I am not sure how far it is true. Indian Mulberry fruit juice may help since it acts on the brain cells. Again, there is no proven testimonials.
Question posed by Penelope G: Are there any moral or ethical issues with Parkinson’s disease?
Or the research of Parkinson’s disease?

A question from Geno: Is there a holistic therapy for Parkinson’s Disease?
Are there vitamin or supplement regiments that can slow the disease and/or reduce the symptoms? And, if so, what are they?
Chosen answer:
Answer by lifestylelink Yes there is. A holistic supplement that gives you everything that your body needs (from a to z). Vitamins and supplement is no mircale drug, the reason it can help is because it gives the body the essential “food” for it to auto-repair cells. Our body has self-healing effect given the right ingredients.
