    Comparing A Mental Illness Recovery Triumph with Parkinsons

    Comparing A Mental Illness Recovery Triumph with Parkinsons

    Alice A. Holstein, Ed.D was diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder at the age of 51, which interrupted her career and produced some 12 years of intense suffering with many manic episodes, many hospitalizations, thousands of dollars spent and overall, a bleak prognosis of recovery.  She lives now, as an elder, with a full if careful life of extraordinary wellness despite still being on medication. She has a dramatic story to share about how she developed a revolutionary understanding of mental health recovery which she believes can be at least partially related to recovery with Parkinsons.

    In her presentation she will explain this potential correlation by first enumerating the comparisons, such as that she too was given a bleak prognosis and told that heavy medication was required. She also understands that Parkinson’s can often produce depression in those who suffer. Her thoughts can help people specifically deal with that diagnosis. Alice believes that illness in general should be treated as a whole person approach---holistically, to include mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and social aspects. The medical profession does not proceed in this fashion. She accidentally discovered this more complete framework and has developed specific understandings that may be helpful to those dealing with Parkinsons. She also believes that recovery is partly a matter of developing one’s higher consciousness.

    Her ideas and words will likely challenge, inspire and encourage the listeners on this broadcast to continue and add to the kinds of things they already are doing to improve their conditions vs. degenerate. Her example serves as a beacon of hope to living a healthier life regardless of one’s diagnosis, going beyond present practices to achieve stronger wellness and increased satisfaction.

    Photobiomodulation for Parkinsons

    Photobiomodulation for Parkinsons

    Neurons are cells that contain mitochondria. Photobiomodulation energizes neuronal mitochondria, triggering a cascade of beneficial cellular functions. Potential benefits are neuroprotective effects, self-repair mechanisms and enhanced functionality.

    Vielight’s patented intranasal stimulation technology and microchip LED technology is an innovative tool for brain photobiomodulation developed by Vielight. My guest today is Vielight's CEO Dr. Lew Lim. Intranasal photobiomodulation is the most efficient method for light energy to reach the brain. Different from electrical and magnetic stimulation, photobiomodulation uses light energy (or photons) of specific wave lengths and power density to simulate cellular function.   

    Vagus Neuro Duo

    The Vielight Neuro Duo is is the result of years of engineering and research.

    Clinical research with our technology has produced improvements in cognition, memory and blood flow.

    The Vielight Neuro Duo comes with both Alpha and Gamma modes.
    Gamma (40Hz): focus, memory, brain energy.Alpha (10 Hz): relaxation and sleep improvement.
    Vagus Device

    Recently introduced is Vielight's Vagus device which enables non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve (VNS) via photobiomodulation (PBM). This device was engineered to enhance brain-gut connectivity.

    Inflammation and Parkinson's - Could Endotoxins be a Contributing Cause?

    Martha discusses her recent research on Parkinson's animal models using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce Parkinson's symptoms in mice, a recent Cambridget hypothesis paper on LPS as a cause of Parkinson's and her company's microbiome research connecting to Gram negative, LPS producing gut bacteria.  She also discusses her recent BiotiQuest Sugar Shift clinical trial in diabetes showing the reduction of serum LPS endotoxin over the three month trial.

    Unique, Innovative, Affordable Stem Cell Regeneration Technology

    Unique, Innovative, Affordable Stem Cell Regeneration Technology

    Retired Australian Naturopath and parkinson’s sufferer, Ian Ridgeway will be explaining an unusual and unique therapy that regenerates stem cells using skin patches. When applied to the skin, they use the body's own heat to stimulate certain salts and sugars in nano particle size to reflect very specific light frequencies which then stimulates functions in cells. This is a form of phototherapy, or photobiomodulation. His latest patches stimulates an enzyme called Copper Peptide which activates our dormant stem cells. By the time you reach the age of 60yrs old, 60 – 90% of your stem cells are dormant. Inventor and founder and CEO of the company who sell them has put the technology into a small, affordable easy to use patch that you just place on your skin! David has around 80 patents on the technology and a similar amount of clinical studies using them. He even has worked out a way you can pay for and even make make money sharing with others.

    Ian, who was was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2019, reports that, So far says he sleeps far better and, can walk without a stick in his “on” times, have far more energy now able to work in his garden and orchard most of the day and his wife has more energy after they both have been using the patches for about 4 weeks of use.

Awesome!

This man is a genius! Forward thinking, a genuine legend. Now if he could address this thorny issue: Autopsies of Parkinson's people who have no dopamine producing neurons in the substantia nigra verifies the objective, rational, western scientific paradigm. This man is pouring out his sorrow and anger over his mother's Parkinson's struggle by eschewing and denigrating scientists, doctors and people like Michael J Fox who are giving their lives to find a cure for Parkinson's.

Sleep Disorder

I listened for a friend with Parkinsons. I was pleasantly surprised to hear such great information about this product the Beamer. I have suffered from a condition caused by a tick borne illness. Out of my symptoms was a severe sleep disorder. After three days of proper use of the Beamer I was able to sleep at 11 1/2 hour.
The last part of this podcast is Compounding pharmacist please listen to what he shares
