In this episode (watch on YouTube) we will unpack the growing number of scam and unproven "treatments" being marketed to people living with Parkinson's disease. From stem cell "miracles" to wearable patches, exotic overseas clinics, and expensive supplement stacks — we break down what's real, what's risky, and how to spot the red flags before you waste your money (or your hope).

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

-Why people with Parkinson's are often targeted by scammers

-The Top 5 scam treatments to watch out for in 2025:

1️⃣ Stem-cell and "regenerative medicine" clinics

2️⃣ Bioelectronic gadgets and "Super Patches"

3️⃣ Miracle supplements and detox regimens

4️⃣ Overseas "Parkinson's cure" packages

5️⃣ Fake research and "secret breakthroughs"

⚠️ Red Flags to Remember:

🚩 "100% cure guaranteed"

🚩 "Act now — limited spots available"

🚩 "Our research is so new it's not published yet"

🚩 "This will replace your medication"

🚩 "We don't need FDA approval"

If it sounds too good to be true… it probably is.

Can Rife frequencies really help Parkinson's Disease—or is it all hype? In this episode (watch on YouTube), I take a close look at what the science says about Rife machines and compare them with legitimate, frequency-based therapies like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), vibration therapies, and rhythmic stimulation.

You'll learn:

-Why there is no credible clinical evidence that Rife machines treat Parkinson's

-How proven therapies like DBS use frequency to improve motor symptoms

-What early research shows on PEMF, vibrotactile stimulation, and auditory entrainment

-Practical takeaways for anyone considering frequency-based approaches for PD Here is a document containing relevant research on this topic (The titles and descriptions are direct links to the articles): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_tnmf5fgMvk8lrUVyuuBy-km4M4YY4rE/view?usp=sharing

Ambroxol, a common cough medicine, is now at the center of Parkinson's research. Scientists believe it may help the brain's "recycling system" work better, reduce toxic protein buildup, and possibly slow down disease progression.

In this episode (watch on YouTube), I break down:

-How ambroxol works in the brain

-What past research has shown (including UCL's AIM-PD trial)

-The latest findings from the 2025 randomized clinical trial in Parkinson's dementia

-Details on the ASPro-PD Phase 3 trial now underway in the UK

👉 Remember: Ambroxol is not approved as a treatment for Parkinson's. The doses being tested are far higher than over-the-counter use, so please don't start taking it without medical supervision.

Could a natural compound from everyday spices protect your brain and slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease?

In this episode (watch on YouTube here!) you will learn about β-caryophyllene (BCP)—a safe, plant-derived compound found in black pepper, rosemary, and hops. BCP is FDA- and EFSA-approved as a flavor enhancer, but research suggests it does far more.

What you'll learn in this episode:

✅ How BCP protects dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra

✅ Its potential role in stabilizing Parkinson's and slowing progression

✅ Symptom relief for pain, restless legs, muscle hesitation, depression, anxiety, and sleep issues

✅ How BCP may treat tardive dyskinesia caused by medications

✅ BCP's broader neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties

Whether you're living with Parkinson's, caring for someone who is, or interested in natural neuroprotection, this episode will expand your understanding of what's possible.

Could eating only meat actually help with Parkinson's Disease?

In this episode (watch on YouTube), we explore the controversial and compelling carnivore diet—a 100% animal-based approach—and why some people with Parkinson's are turning to it for inflammation reduction, gut healing, and brain support.

We cover:

-How the carnivore diet may reduce neuro-inflammation

-Why ketosis could be protective for dopamine-producing neurons

-The connection between oxidative stress and Parkinson's progression

-How ketones support cellular cleanup (autophagy) and mitochondrial function

-Nutrients in animal-based diets that support brain and nerve health

-Risks, cautions, and who this diet may NOT be right for

Whether you're carnivore-curious or just exploring ways to optimize your Parkinson's care naturally, this episode dives into the "why" behind the trend.

Parkinson's disease is rising faster than ever before — with 90,000 new U.S. cases every year. But what if it's not just bad luck, aging, or genetics? In this powerful conversation (watch HERE on YouTube), one of the world's leading neurologists, Dr. Michael Okun, reveals shocking truths from the new book The Parkinson's PLAN, co-authored with Dr. Ray Dorsey:

🚫 Why Parkinson's is largely preventable — and how we've failed to act

🧠 How the disease may actually begin in the gut or nose

💣 What Camp Lejeune, pesticides, dry cleaners, and golf courses have in common

🌱 And what you can do today to protect yourself and your loved ones

Dr. Dorsey and Dr. Okun are on a mission to prevent Parkinson's — not just treat it. Their bold P.L.A.N. (Prevent, Learn, Amplify, Navigate) is a wake-up call to individuals, communities, and policymakers everywhere.
