Dr. Werth is athttp://www.medicina-neuroregenerativa.org/

In 2009, we were booking flights and pension in Valencia to go for Dr. Werth's acupuncture because Jan had gone into a serious crash and burn on Sinemet. She was unable to make the trip, just not stable enough to fly. At the time, it did look "Werth" it to try this (thanks, Gerry) but we haven't encountered others experienced in this since that time.

The body is so dynamic. I can see how this approach would be effective for some time. Hard to grasp it as a permanent implant. Maybe others will see this and report in. Hope so.

I see there's now a center for this technique in Canada.

I talked to Dr. Goldberger at the Werth Parkinson Centre in Toronto. She tells me the therapy works well. On the other hand, it requires 3 or 4 days of your time to insert between 100 and 200 implants at $100 each!

I am always willing to experiment with unusual therapies but for that price I would want more evidence of efficacy.

We looked at "permanent ear acupuncture" closely. That's obvious, we were booked to fly. Yet, it was to be a leap of faith as much as anything. Hey, that's part of healing as much as the medicine we swallow, aye? But I digress.

We were drawn to the novel innovation, the hypothesis of Werth's work. Jan has had years of extensive, high end acupuncture in China and here in the U.S. We consulted with experts familiar with Jan's version of Parkinsonism, and got the green light even if none were familiar with Werth's application of the French developments in acupuncture.

The question remains: is the constellation of symptoms defined as Parkinson's/Parkinsonism a system imbalance that is permanent and is of a definitive nature? Would Werth's acupuncture facilitate a lasting system reset? In our quest for Jan's well-being, we observe that some degree of healing is possible with the right support conditions. Has Werth's approach to supporting the body proven able to dominate other system disorders?

Maybe someone with present tense knowledge of Werth's treatments can weigh in here.

Indeed! Its just that those leaps sometimes feel like being on a pogo stick
There is an opportunity waiting for me to say yes to too - the leap is getting higher....
