I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when I was sitting. My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small, cramped printing. And I tended to lose my balance. The neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn't swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while, as there is no history in my family of parents and five older siblings, but I had to accept I had classic symptoms. I was taking amantadine and carbidopa/levodopa and was about to start physical therapy to strengthen muscles. I used different supplements that didn't work, so last July, I tried the PD-5 protocol—the best decision ever! My tremors eased, my energy returned, and I sleep soundly. I feel like a new woman, and I can walk and exercise again. I got the PD-5 from ww w. limitlesshealthcenter. com or google ww w. limitlesshealthcenter. com

An excellent book for those of us who have Parkinson’s to read.The author has little hundreds of suggestions for how you can make your life easier. At least some are bound to apply to you. I personally have adopted a number of the author’s suggestions, things I just never would have thought of on my own. Highly recommended.
