When Dr. Parkinson named the disease he saw it as a neurological degeneration. Now in modern medicine it is seen as a depletion of dopamine which is mostly produced by the Substantia nigra in the brain. This understanding makes it convenient to treat it with a magic bullet of a pharmaceutical drug that will forcefully increase the levels of dopamine. However as most neurologist will tell you the drug will only work at best for about 10 years and then the neural receptors will no long respond.

This is based on the work of Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock, DAOM, founder of the Parkinson's Recovery Project I have a very direct and personal experience with Parkinson's as m y late husband had the disease.

Every spring one of my favourite events is the Meadowlark Festival in the Okanagan Valley. I have been attending it regularly since 1996 when I moved to Penticton.

My own area of interest in plant medicine brings up an opening that is in the process of coming together. It stirs a desire to learn from the ancient cultures and their traditional know...

Story tells it that the physicians of the Chinese emperors would check the eliminations every morning to keep an eye the the emperor's health. Ayurved recommend that we have a bowel movement on arising every morning because as the Agni ( transformative fire) increases as the sun climbs in the sky, we will then re-absorb the toxins from the large intestine. So, that morning Poop is important!!!!. What can we do to keep our bowel healthy? Good hydration. Start the day by drinking at least 2 cups of water you can add some lime or lemon juice so that it gives the liver and bile some support. Fibre. Exercise. Those are fundamental. Ayurved also reveres the herbal combination called Triphala. This is taken in the evening and by morning should have done its job by producing a healthy bowel movement. You can also soak the Triphala for several hours and then drink the water - this works very well. If you take too much you will find that you get nightmares. So do not over do it. The key ...
