I have always been one to think "out of the box" - its easy for me to question cultural beliefs (also known as "memes" - a sort of mind virus -a belief that gains momentum as "truth" when accepted by large groups of people). Many "truths" are relative and the underlying belief that pd is n impossible downnward spiraling disease is a meme imo..

What do you all need to be cured? Your tremors, rigidityy, balance, dexterity of course ...but would that really be eenough? the toll that the pd experience has exacted on me leaves me wanting for more than that. i desire to become deeply peaceful and courageous - with the abilitiies to RELAX into life - to find the current in tthe river ..my internal compass..to feel whole INSIDE my body.

as long as we view death as a failure tthan we'll be trapped in the nocebo effect (the negative effects of belief). so what if we view death (in its variety of forms) as achievement instead? a culmination of life experience -without winter there would be no spring! fear of failure is fear of death isn't it? ...and the irony of it all lies in the paradox...take for example the person who doesn't "need" approval of otherss is the most likely to enjoy popularrity.
