I wish my mother could read the book I have written about Parkinson’s Disease but it is too late for her. She died from a stroke triggered by the interactions and side effects of taking too many medications for various conditions including Parkinsons.
There had to be another way. There had to be other decisions people with Parkinsons could make that could offer a relief from symptoms with natural therapies that do not have side effects.
I was inspired to become the founder of Parkinsons Recovery in 2004 and launched an ambitious plan to interview people diagnosed with Parkinsons who had found ways to get sustained relief from their symptoms.
To surprise and delight, I have run across some people who have fully recovered and documented the stories of many people who discovered fascinating eways to celebrate relief from their symptoms. How did they do it? That is what Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease is all about.
