Hello all~~ I am a newbie to this type of convo...but long to get feedback and knowledge from you in the know...
My husband, (76), was diagnosed with Parkinson's this year..but he had symptoms for a couple of years...without being diagnosed.

I'm more into eastern and complementary modalities than western medicine...but initially went along with him getting the usual PD medication..that being Sinemet.

He has the gait disabilities and stutter steps in small places...and mentally, at times pretty foggy....and oh so slow....

I'm looking for help here in finding out what I can do as his wife and only caregiver to help him fight this without it progressing!

Has anyone heard of the GIGERMD therapy?
Medical marijuana elixirs?
RG100? the new, improved RG40...

He has recently had three sessions of full body acupuncture..which I can tell really helped him. I believe Medicare will start to pay for this, this coming year..so he will continue with this modality.

I believe in the science behind Neurogenesis....makes total sense!

So now how can we apply this science to our own lives?...has anyone broken it down into lay terms of understanding?....a protocol of some kind?

I'm looking forward to discussing all of this.....thanks you.
