I know of Janice Walton - Hadlock and a couple of her former clients. Interesting reading "Once Upon a Pill" and impressive that it is free. She also has another free download book "Recovery From Parkinson's Disease" I question her foot theory but many of her observations are bang on.

That's impressive. Mine is really bad lately and I am seeing why - the asymetries in my body...weak muscle here, twisting sacrum, caving off plane torso....Visible if you look. ALL of this = my PD symptoms, plus of course the dopamine thing - the depletion of which gradually happened over time due to the unrelenting "tension" caused by an out-of-whack frame...and will continue to do until it is back in - or at least moving toward - Tensegrity. Biotensegrity.
I have cometo these conclusions after about 9 years of PD, largely due to experiencing several 'alternative' therapies - including EECP, Upper Cervical Chiropractic and Janice W-H. Yes, J is "bang on' ...sometimes. She's brilliant, charismatic and quiite tunnnel visioned. Her therapy didn't work for me or anyone I know but there IS something about the stomach channel and the foot blockage. And on drug reduction info - she's unparalelled ... ie all we've got. Who else has observed pwp reducing meds!
