Lindy,

All I can say is that Howard Shifke and his family used tcm all their lives and he too was a long term practitioner of qigong before dx with pd. But he had to research and train himself up in new forms of qigong to effect recovery. Then there are others who have recovered by different means again, the common component seems to have been finding a way to remove anxiety. Needless to say, the further into a dx of pd, the bigger the challenge.

Soccertese, to paraphrase Dr Joe Dispenza, if you're waiting for science to give you permission to try something new, then you've turned science into a religion.
