Default This looks interesting

" Why does their tremor seem to subside when people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) are engaged in creative work?
Brain Wellness Innovators, a medical research and practice group in Sarasota, FL, has made answering this question the focus of our work. We are investigating the power of the brain to heal itself. Using the 21st-century Systems Medicine approach to protein synthesis and axonal transport, we believe the brain can forge new neuronal associations, or pathways, using consciousness -- the very function the brain performs.

Brain Wellness Innovators combines research and practice to achieve the best possible underlying matrix of health for patients suffering brain injury or illness. We are investigating clinical therapeutics by starting with Parkinson patients, to address the phenomenon (or more precisely, since this is a reality manifesting from the mind, the "noumenon") that so many have noticed -- the diminution of symptoms while performing challenging, skilled work that deeply engages their interest and enthusiasm, more simply, creative work. We use a protocol for the synergistic effect, combining Acupuncture with Neurofeedback, Tibetan Yoga, nutrition, eastern energy-exercise (Tai Chi and Chi Gong), and arts and crafts.

Acupuncture (based on the Energy Theory from Physics and Neuroscience of modern oriental medicine) brings the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system into phase, or harmony. Neurofeedback trains the brain to recognize and prolong the harmonious state of bodily energy meridians induced by acupuncture. The Tibetan discipline of Yoga trains the mind of the individual to learn to re-cognize, literally, how optimal neurotransmitter production overcomes clinical signs that once were thought to be manageable only by drugs; and the arts -- music, dance, painting, craftsmanship -- mobilize the skilled motor pathways in synchrony with the cardio-vascular system for the brain to follow and, reciprocally, to orchestrate optimal or healthy rhythms and frequencies, exercising mind and body systems."

Currently (2011) taking 200/50 Sinemet CR 8 times a day + 10/100 Sinemet 3 times a day. Functional 90% of waking day but fragile. Failure at exercise but still trying. Constantly experimenting. Beta blocker and ACE inhibitor at present. Currently (01/2013) taking ldopa/carbadopa 200/50 CR six times a day + 10/100 form 3 times daily. Functional 90% of day. Update 04/2013: L/C 200/50 8x; Beta Blocker; ACE Inhib; Ginger; Turmeric; Creatine; Magnesium; Potassium. Doing well.
