Holistic Philosophy of Recovery It is important to begin with my philosophy of Parkinson’s Disease so you can understand why I feel I got it and how I approached getting rid of it. Without this background, much of what I did will make no sense to you. The issue of not taking medications is a difficult issue to address. I fought Parkinson’s without medications. Here is my opinion: Parkinson’s is an electrical problem. It is not a chemical imbalance. If it was a chemical imbalance, then chemicals would get it back into balance, and life would be wonderful. However, that is not the case…Parkinson’s is defined loosely as a progressively degenerative disease. The medications help with the symptoms, but they do not help with recovery. It is not believed that one can recover. Therefore, since Parkinson’s is known as “incurable,” why would I take the medications that have been taken for 200 years that have not cured the disease. It made no sense to me. My opinion is that a chemical solution does not work because Parkinson’s is an electrical problem. In March of 2010, after six months of fighting the disease and a certain amount of frustration in not finding others who wanted to embrace it from a holistic perspective, I started writing my blog to help others and to see if there were others who could help me. My first three months of blog posts focused on what I was going through struggling with the disease as it was happening. I had no idea when I started the blog that three months later I would be symptom free. On June 12, 2010, I was symptom free from Parkinson’s. On August 5, 2010, my neurologist confirmed that much to his surprise, he could not detect a single Parkinson’s symptom. On December 22, 2011, my neurologist confirmed in my medical records that I did not have Parkinson’s anymore, “This gentleman for 2 examinations in a row does not have signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.” I remain symptom free from Parkinson’s Disease. I have spent my time since recovery updating my blog to continue to help others and answer their questions and concerns. Also, I have been doing one-on-one coaching of Parkinson’s sufferers to help them with the recipe for recovery and to help them keep the faith that they are on the right path. Fighting Parkinson’s Drug Free shares with you what I did to recover. However, I cannot guarantee that if you do my recipe for recovery, you will recover just as I recovered. Everybody who suffers from Parkinson’s suffers in a different way. If you want to try my recipe for recovery, I recommend you let your doctor know what you are thinking about doing. I am not a doctor, and I am not advocating you do anything that you and your doctor have not discussed. . Howard fought Parkinson’s without medications, herbal supplements, herbal formulas or Ayurvedic remedies. His recipe for recovery is outlined in his Blog post dated January 5, 2011, and it is a combination of Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupressure, Soul, Mind, Body Medicine, Chanting, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Yin Tui Na, a vegetarian diet, and many meditation/affirmation/prayer techniques. Through trial and error, he was able to discover what worked and what did not, and he explains it in great detail in the Blog as well as in his book,
