I have carried a paper by this man (Mark Hurni) on my hard disk for several years meaning to read it but not getting around to it. I am now motivated to do so having visited his website above. I urge all to visit the site and read the summaries there. This guy is everything that other researchers are not. He is a PWP with doctorates in Law and Psychology and thus is both intelligent and a generalist. He was Dx in 1990 so is no johnny-come-lately. And he isn't selling anything, just trying to get the powers that be to pay attention.

Note that this is not an easy read. I find that as I plod along, from time to time the clouds part for a moment and an "ah ha!" sensation passes over me. I suggest that you skim first and return later for details.

From his site-
In addition, it has been observed that Parkinson’s patients exhibit a comparatively greater number of traumatic life incidents in childhood and that a shock or psychological trauma is more often reported in connection with the onset of the disease.
------------------------
In animals three possible reactions can be observed in threatening situations: fight or flight and when motor behavior is not successful anymore as a defense strategy, motionlessness (freezing). If in an overwhelming event there is no room anymore for fight or flight motor energy is completely blocked. Such tremendous defense energy remains blocked as long as the danger is not over and balancing of energies is not possible.
-----------------------------
The stress response of the major parasympathetic nerve, the vagus, comes about with a most primitive reaction. In the absence of cortical and emotional mechanisms there is basically only one bodily response, again and again the blocking of motor capacities.
-----------------------------
I have written some papers about my hypothesis of and experience with Parkinson's disease. The basics have remained the same although some concepts and conclusions may have changed as new insights deepened the understanding of the complex subject.

There is no cure yet for the disease and I doubt that people who have "fully recovered from Parkinson's disease" are symptom-free. Or, at least I am convinced that in a long run they are not. However, there is no doubt whatsoever that the treatment by trauma therapy and energetic body work is highly beneficial. Therefore it is valuable to look for the most effective way to improve the effect of such treatment. And there is still hope that a cure may be found.
