Starting today my new podcast series will come out daily. My intention is to inspire, educate, support and challenge others who have Parkinson’s disease to use their minds and their bodies to counter what PD thinks it can get away with.

Four steps to approach Parkinson’s more positively. Mindset adjustment. Exercise for intensity and neuroplasticity. Body awareness, yoga or qi gong. Reaching out and doing for others.

Robert Rodgers is a refreshing and even courageous voice on the Internet to get the word out that there are many possible interventions for people with PD other than just traditional Western allopathic medicine. He deserves our thanks and recognition for helping us all to find our individual paths with PD.

I have posted my version of Simplified Meditation training on my website. You might want to give it a try.

Drawing on examples from my fifty years in medicine I tell the story of how beliefs are held to be unshakable truths. But then something comes along to shatter those beliefs and turn things on their heads. I propose that by taking my non-medication approach to PD to Uganda I might demonstrate that medications may not be as indispensable as currently believed.

This is a whimsical, meditative experience that will subtly change your response from fear to amusement when the thought of a panic attack come to consciousness.

I tell my personal story how one event has nearly ruined my life. And why I will move ahead to help other with PD.

Advice for those who might be tempted to simply let PD have its way. (Sort of humorous and serious at the same time.)

One of the most problematic matters relating to urination is urge incontinence. The rewiring solution involves working out the perineal muscles by doing Kegel exercises. Constipation has many possible treatments. I favor the simplest one using and OTC product, Miralax.
