Parkinson's disease

-
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.

Also is you go to www.pdrecovery.org to see a completely different understanding of what causes Parkinson's disease. 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. And also I have personally worked on a woman in her 50's with Parkinson's using the Transdermal Marma System of Shaka Vansya Ayurved. The gentle massage with specially prepared harbal pastes opened up the channels and within 3 to 4 weeks she was feeling more energy and her husband noticed a big change in her.  There is a very specific plant called the Mucuna Bean that raises dopamine levels. It is best used transdermally as it is not well absorbed orally. Therefore getting marma massage from a trained ayurvedic practioner would be a great support to the person with Parkinson's.


In both the work of Dr. Walton-Hadlock and the understanding from ayurved, any neurological disorder would have a large Vata imbalance causing the disease. So anything that would balance Vata would be beneficial. Good routine, going to bed on time, not over extending, eating regularly warm nutritious food. I will write more on balancing Vata in a later  post.


It has become very clear now that the digestive tract produces neurotransmitters - so anything that helps to improve good digestion is essential to get at the root of this disorder.


All for now, more to come.

    I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a year ago at the age of 68. For several months I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when I was sitting. My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing. And I tended to lose my balance. Neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn't swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while as there is no history in my family of parents and five older siblings, but now accept I had classic symptoms. I was taking pramipexole (Sifrol), carbidopa/levodopa and Biperiden, 2 mg. and started physical therapy to strengthen muscles. nothing was really working to help my condition.I went off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on parkinson’s herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic, my symptoms totally declined over a 5 weeks use of the Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. i am now almost 70 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!!

From Drugs to Herbs

 I have been writing this blog for several years and realized that some people are now reading it that might not know me. Here is my story. My story as a healer started early in life. At 15 my first job was as a care aide for retarded children. Then working at children's hospital in Winnipeg as a pharmacy student and after graduating as a Hospital Pharmacist working in large teaching hospitals in both Winnipeg and Ottawa. Four years into my career as a hospital pharmacist I had a rude awakening at work one day. As I was handing a large bag of medications to a man, I looked at him and in that moment "saw" that his mind and the stress in his life was the root cause of his "dis-ease".  That led me on a journey of studying psychology, becoming a teacher of The Transcendental Meditation Program and eventually getting a Master's degree in education from Maharishi International University.  I continued working as a community pharmacist and expanded my scope to incl

To Drink or Not to Drink Milk

  To drink Milk or Not to drink milk? ......That is the question. Milk is considered a nectar in Ayurveda.   It is the loving fluid coming form the mother’s blood carrying immunity and nourishment to the offspring   - whether cow, goat or human or whatever.   When we drink milk within 24-48 hours it nourishes all our deepest tissues. All other food that takes 30 days to reach the deepest levels of our physiology. In other words, to make Ojas or all the neurotransmitter and hormones that are essential for intelligent communication and transformation of all tissues, takes 30 days.   Yes, you heard me. What you eat today is not fully assimilated for about 1 month, whereas milk is assimilated within 2 days.   That is why it is considered a nectar. However there are certain rules around drinking milk.   Firstly the source must be of good quality.   The cows have to be well treated. The individuals caring for the animal but treat it with kindness and respect.   They do not take the baby calf

Detox Soup

Harsh detox protocols can be very dangerous and many modern day toxins are "hot" or can burn the delicate fine channels of elimination in the kidney and other tissues.  Shaka Vansiya Ayurved teaches that there are 4 categories of toxins. Ama or undigested food that is sticky and cold and we need hot spices to eliminate this type of toxin. So ginger and pepper and fenugreek and other heating spices would work well. However once that toxin has been sitting around for a long time it becomes hot.  We might call it a "free radical" in modern scientific terms. Shaka Vansiya Ayurved (now referred to as SVA) calls this Amavisha.  This type of toxin needs a different approach to detox. Before moving the toxins out of the body we need to bind them with mucilaginous food like barley, okra, tapioca, arrowroot, taro root and others.  I find zucchini and other summers squashes are most readily available, even though they are not extremely mucilaginous.  Then you can start moving
