Default In Memory of Juan...

whose driving conviction was that reduced blood flow to the brain resulted in - or at least was a major causitive factor in developing PD symptoms. His experience with EECP prooved this to him -as he would say - "beyond the shadow of a doubt." His symptoms were instantly alleviated by the pumping action of the machine.

for those who may not know, EECP is a cardiac therapy - termed the natural by-pass - that increases blood flow (oxygen) to the heart - and brain. That this was helpful with PD symptoms was discovered by chance by a patient - who told his cardiologist - who then did a study to see if it worked for other PD'ers.

It does...however it must be repeated periodically as effects typically wane.
There is more but I haven't enough Oxygen myself to continue tonight. zzzzzzzzzzzz
