Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Sat Nam--Those movements sound to me like Rebellious Stomach Channel Chi or as it is known in Western Medicine as Parkinson's Disease. For an alternative approach and for self-education on the drugs used for this and an alternative Oriental medicine based approach check out www.pdrecovery.org and the two books posted there _RECOVERY FROM PARKINSON'S DISEASE_ and _MEDICATIONS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE._ These works are based on the research done by thet Parkinson's Recovery Project in Santa Cruz, CA and written by Janice Walton-Hadlock. People who aren't diagnosed recover quicker perhaps because they haven't been told they have an incurable disease. To do this approach, it is important not to take Parkinson's drugs for more than 3 weeks as they are addictive and irreversibly change the brain. The first 4 years of the research project, people who were taking drugs and people who weren't both participated. All started to improve, but those on the drugs developed parkinsonism (parkinsons from taking the drugs which causes worse symptoms than they had in the first place and became hopless addicted to their drugs...the disease had prevented that at first but as they got better, this protection was gone and some horrible things happened. Now they do not take people on drugs as part of the project. How do I know this? My husband has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Blessedly we live in Santa CruzCA and by Guru Ram Das's grace we were guided in this direction. Whether one plans on using western medicine or not, these online books are very informative. They have info that is not available elsewhere. Of course, this is all very controversial and will not be accepted by most western medicine practitioners and neurologists at this time. Reading these books is not easy--they are grim, in fact. My husband and I read them aloud to each other because I couldn't handle reading them emotionally. The stories told in them were echoed at a Parkinson's Support Group that we went to--people driving off the road when they suddenly fell asleep while taking Mirapec and blacking out in the mashed potatoes after eating aged cheese, beef and wine while on Azilect. Janice Walton-Hadlock is on the staff at Five Branches Acupuncture School in Santa Cruz, CA and can be contacted via them. The Parkinson Recovery Project is a loosely connected group of practitioners...I think most of them are acupuncturists but this project doesn't do conventional acupuncture, at least usually.
