Parkinsons Recovery
I want to be clear with everyone about this ground breaking 2012 book. There are no secrets to recovery that will be divulged. All of the stories have already been heard on the Parkinsons Recovery Radio Show. You can hear the same information by listening to the radio shows. The stories have been heavily edited however, with references and additional information about the resources each person has mentioned.
Nine stories of recovery told by nine remarkable individuals confirm the wisdom of the ages that the body does know how to heal. It just needs a little help remembering how.
The Table of Contents offers a comprehensive glimpse of the topics that are covered and the questions that I asked on the show:

Yes – all of the content in Pioneers of Recovery 2012 is entirely new and differs from the content found in Pioneers of Recovery 2009. In the top right of the website you will see a link to “Pioneers of Recovery 2009.” This page describes the content of the 2009 book you already have.

My tremor started 12 yrs. ago. I was dieg. with parkinsons 9 yrs ago.I was doing fine until about 2 yrs ago when I notised my sym. getting worse.The tremor was the worse, I have a prob.controling it, it does’nt want to stop.My meds don’t seam to work very well any more, so I have cut back on them.The only other prob. sym. that I have is ,slowness, that I can handle.My biggest prob. I have with the tremor is, going out in public.I excersize & I ride a bycycle & a motor cycle.While riding I can get the tremor to all most nothing.I also meditate witch helps alot,but I seam to be loosing ground.
You are clearly on an ideal website to consider other possible causes for your tremor. As you can easily see, the pioneers featured in Pioneers of Recovery 2012 have identified a wide variety of factors that contributed to their symptoms. Do any of the possible causes call out to you? Do any seem to be plausible given your own life history?
By your report above, you have been taking prescription medications for over a decade. One possibility for you and your doctor to consider is that your symptoms may be related to the side effects of the medications. You might review a list of the side effects for the medications you currently take and see if this might be the case.
Another clue (as I read it) is that you do better when you meditate. Is trauma a possible contributing factor for you? It is possible that the trauma is trapped at the cellular level. Several of the pioneers share that particular cause and have found a variety of approaches that worked for them.
I suggest that you remain open to other possible causes. It is possible, for example, that the myelin sheathing around your neurons is too thin to provide the insulation necessary for proper neurological function.
I note that you carry the thought form you are losing ground. Please note that I use the words “thought form” rather than treat your assertion as fact. My experience has been that many people believe they are losing ground when in fact they are gaining ground.
Most people do not celebrate the incredible progress that they are making. That is why I developed the symptom tracker – so people can tack their own symptoms over time. If you believe you are losing ground, that is surely what will happen. You can access symptom tracker (which of course is free) by visiting: http://www.symptomtracker.info/parkinsons/login.php.
May your recovery be gentle and remarkable.

I have freezing gait, no tremor. Tried different strategies such as laser lite, music,…works for a while only… any suggestions??/
There are a variety of alternatives you might consider. My guess is that you will land on one that will work beautifully for you. I will list a few approaches that have worked for other people.
1. Try bouncing a ball when you walk. It is fun and brings back that youthful energy in an instant.
2. Get two poles (like ski poles) and walk with them. Hold one in each hand. Use them like the sticks people often use when they hike.
3. If you are walking on the street – try following someone else as you use their same step and gate. This works especially well if the person’s steps are loud – like in tap dancing. You of course do not want them to feel as though you are stalking them, so try it at a distance.
4. You say you have tried music – hum – what kind? How about the salsa or tango?
5. The issue with freezing is that the neural pathway you are trying to access is blocked. You thus have to approach the challenge of freezing by accessing a new neural pathway. This usually entails looking somewhere different – like to a point far away. If you are stuck when approaching an elevator for example – do not look at the elevator door (or your feet) – look at the back of the elevator where you are headed.
6. When you freeze, push your chest out and head up. Change your posture and you will change the energy running through your body.
7. When you freeze you are likely in fear. Adopt a mantra to say when this happens like “I thank you for giving me the blessings of life.”
8. Breathe. Seriously, Just take a few large breathes.
9. Laugh when though it is not funny. Laughter works wonders for people.
This is a list of nine possibilities. I hope one works for you!
