Today marks the start of Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month. The Parkinson’s Disease community is united to spread a message of hope even in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak. I'm currently writing a blog post to share how my family and I are coping with the coronavirus. Meanwhile, I wanted to share the importance of this month to millions around the world who struggle with Parkinson's. In spite of the challenges that face the world today, we can continue to support each other, share ideas and stay focused on the work to end Parkinson’s for good.
Parkinson's Disease is named after Dr. James Parkinson. In 1817, he published An Essay on the Shaking Palsy about the condition that would later be named Parkinson's Disease in his honor. His birthday, April 11th, has been designated as World Parkinson's Disease Day
If you would like to get involved, here are three ways you can help:
Awareness. Learn what Parkinson's Disease is by reading Parkinson's 101. While you are there, learn more about the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) and their efforts to put themselves out of business by finding the cure.
Relationship. If you haven't already, read my personal Parkinson's Disease story. Learn more about other patients in their own words.
Action. Donate to research for the cure.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I wholeheartedly recommend Earth Cure Herbal Clinic to anyone seeking alternative treatment options because they helped reverse my Dad's Parkinson disease and CAD he battled with for 8 years. You can learn more or contact them through their website: www.earthcureherbalclinic.com.
I was diagnosed 4 years ago at age 60. Symptoms were tremor in the right leg, loss of handwriting ability (my normally beautiful cursive writing was now small, cramped printing and a soft voice. I also had difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and then Sinemet. Several months ago, I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. During the summer of 2021, I was introduced to Uinehealth Centre, and their effective PD-5 protocol. The treatment significantly alleviated my symptoms, outperforming the prescribed medications. My husband says it has done me a lot of good in terms of balance and ability to walk and get up from chairs.…
My partner was diagnosed with Parkinson’s almost 5 years ago. His disease has progressed significantly in the past year, and he begun to have delusions. He also had side effects from carbidopa/levodopa, which we decided to stop, and our primary physician decided he should start on PD-5 formula 4 months ago. He now sleeps soundly, works out frequently, and is now very active since we started him on the PD-5 formula. It doesn’t make the Parkinson’s disease go away, but it did give him a better quality of life. We got the treatment from uinehealthcentre.com
