Avoid Parkinson’S Drug Disaster

If you’re a regular reader, you know that I prefer natural solutions to medical problems whenever possible. That being said, I also know that there are times when pharmaceutical treatments are useful, even lifesaving.
 
For most people with Parkinson’s disease, prescription drugs hold the best promise for control of their symptoms. When you’re faced with a debilitating disease like Parkinson’s, the last thing you need is a drug meant to treat your condition that actually brings more heartache into your life.
 
Recent research reveals that some of the common prescription drugs for Parkinson’s create more problems than they solve. Fortunately, this isn’t the case for all the possible treatments. When it comes to treating Parkinson’s some drugs provide a solution to symptoms, while others can lead to disaster.(1)

Drugs that Hurt Instead of Help

Parkinson’s disease affects your brain. Specifically it inhibits the production of dopamine and causes the basal ganglia area of the brain to degenerate. When you have Parkinson’s, it affects your coordination. It makes your hands tremble, it weakens your muscles, and it makes it difficult to control your movements.(2)
 
Drugs that restore dopamine production can help. But depending on how the drugs work, they can cause some alarming side affects. One type of drug that has researchers particularly concerned is dopamine agonists. Pramiexole and ropinirole are two such drugs that doctors commonly prescribe for Parkinson’s.(3)
 
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that one in six patients taking these types of drugs develop destructive behaviors. They often become compulsive gamblers or experience hyper-sexuality. The drugs interfere with judgment and stimulate the area of the brain that responds to pleasure, risk, and reward.(4)
 
I’m sure you can imagine what these side affects do to families. You may be giving time and effort to support a loved one with Parkinson’s disease. You share in their struggle and it hurts you to see them going through the pain of this devastating disease. And then, the promised treatment changes their behavior, turns them into someone they’re not, and makes them behave in ways that are hurtful.
 
Fortunately, there are other options. The gold standard for treating Parkinson’s disease is Levodopa. It works differently, and does not trigger destructive behaviors.(5)

Natural Support for Parkinson’s Patients

Prescription drugs do play a role in treating the symptoms of Parkinson disease, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t natural remedies that can help, too.
 
Because Parkinson’s disease weakens your muscles and attacks your coordination, the importance of exercise takes on new meaning. Exercise can help strengthen your muscles. It can also improve your flexibility and balance, which will help you to better control your movements. Exercises that focus on core strength and flexibility will provide the most benefit. Try strength training, yoga, and tai chi for the best results.(6)

Research shows that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), folate, and vitamin B12 are all important supplements if you’re dealing with Parkinson’s disease.
 
Researchers have found that damage to the mitochondria within your brain cells contributes to the progression of Parkinson’s disease. The antioxidant properties of CoQ10 can help to protect your mitochondria and your cells from damage. In most Parkinson’s patients the levels of CoQ10 in the brain are very low. Supplementing with CoQ10 can help restore levels and protect your cells. (7)

Parkinson’s patients taking Levodopa also typically have low levels of folate and vitamin B12. Researchers have found a link between low folate levels and depression in Parkinson’s patients. Additionally, they’ve linked low levels of B12 with cognitive impairment. Supplementing with folate and B12 may help to improve overall function, mood, and quality of life in patients with Parkinson’s.(8)
 
 
Parkinson’s disease is a difficult condition to live with. The last thing you need are drugs that make your life more difficult instead of helping. If you notice any behavior changes after beginning a dopamine agonist prescription, talk to your doctor about switching to Levodopa or an equivalent drug. It can help you feel like yourself again.
 
 Remember to discuss any changes you have planned for your diet, exercise routine, or supplements with your doctor first. Until next time…

Question by I’m in pieces…baby fix me: How long do people live after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease?
My grandfather is 80 years old, very tall and thin. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease about a year ago. He is on medication but it seems to have stopped working now. My grandparents live in a very desolate area and I doubt he will be able to get new medication.

How long does he have? On average?

Best answer:

Answer by Marielle
I am so sorry to hear of this. Parkinson’s disease as you know is not curable and hard to even treat. I wish I could give you an exact time frame but, not even a doctor knows. Some people I have taken care of had it for 20 yr before passing away. Other people have it for 6 mon. and pass away. Not to minimize your grandfather but only to help you understand…. he is 80 years old. He is at life expectancy. He has accomplished a lot in those 80 years and will leave a great legacy. So please start focusing on all that he has done. Start collecting pictures, awards, certificates, newspaper clippings, etc. Talk to family members and ask them questions and write down all that you can remember. Look forward to making a book that can be put together in a nice hard covered journal. If he served in any foreign wars find out if he has metals.
What a great memorial book you can make about your grandfather. You have a lot of work to do in a short time.
So the key thing is to focus on what he accomplished and done and let nature take its course in how much time he has left

Foods and Techniques for Longevity, Life Extension, Reducing the Risk of Age-Related Disease.

The key to a long and healthy life lies in staying active, eating more fruit and grains, and practicing massage and meditation in order to shed stress and create enthusiasm for life.

You can live longer possibly by reducing your risks of the age-related diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.

But, the real emphasis is not on life extension. It’s on healthy aging, trying to keep healthy as long as possible.

The key to longevity is delaying the onset and reducing the risk of age-related disease. Age-related disease are these big categories of illness that become more common after age 60 and that account for a great deal of premature death and disability.

So, the big ones are cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and its Parkinsons disease. So, I think the emphasis is on preventing those, showing you how to reduce the risk or delay the onset. Into this comes family history, personal history to see where your greatest risks are. Then concentrate the preventive efforts in those areas.

It’s not all that complicated. It just means doing some work, though. It means doing some homework and then learning the information that you need then applying it. And it’s applying it really in all areas of your lifestyle. It means looking at how you eat, how you use dietary supplements, how you exercise, how you handle stress, how you sleep, how you rest, how you deal with your mind, how to create meaning and significance in what you do. You know, you really need to work in all those areas to ensure healthy aging.

If you are smoking probably its not possible do much for you. And if you’re not paying attention to weight and not paying attention to your cholesterol and not paying attention to other medical risks that you may have, you know, you can put all the flowers you want in your house and it’s not gonna help.

De-stress using methods which work for you - everything from doing yoga to listening to relaxing music to getting massaged. Breathing methods are cost efficient and time efficient. And these mostly come from the yoga tradition. From these techniques Meditation is the Big Kahuna at 20 minutes per day.

Eat fewer foods of animal origin; more fruits and vegetables; more plant-based protein from soy foods, for example.

Make sure you’ve got omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in your diet, either from oily fish, or Flax Seed Oil.

Try to reduce consumption of quick-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are the ones made from any kind of flour, sugar, high fructose corn syrup.

And try to eat more of the slower-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are beans, whole grains, packed grains, winter squashes, sweet potatoes.

Really learn the differences between good fats and bad fats. Fry Less. Use cold pressed organic olive oil and flax seed oil as a main oil in salads. Include nuts, seeds, avocados, in your diet.

Reduce the amount of poisonous pesticides and steroids in your diet by buying anything which is concentrated, like oils or meat, organically, which just means that it is produced without pesticides or steroids.

Take a good multivitamin, multimineral supplement. Add things to the diet, like green tea and dark chocolate and red wine, in moderation, if you want their antioxidant effects.

Well, I think aside from eating right, you want to maintain physical activity throughout life. And that doesn’t mean you have to run marathons, or go to aerobics classes. Walking is a perfectly good physical activity if you do enough of it regularly enough. You want to learn some method of stress management. You know, like breathing exercises.

You want to really try to identify negative thought patterns that lead to negative behavior, - eating too much and smoking, or too angry or depressed, and see how you can change them through meditation and Advanced Energy Enhancement Techniques.

I think you want to keep your mind active, whether that’s by learning another language, or changing your computer operating system frequently. You want to stay connected and involved with life. Usually this comes less mechanically and selfishly than the previous methods by finding something you are really interested in and that which can help other people.

Again meditation can create this meaning and significance effect of enthusiasm for life, which really is the key. I think you really want to try to focus on the positive attributes of wisdom that come with aging, as well as the negative ones. For example, people die very quickly after retirement because they have lost their reason for living.

After all the above, if we have enthusiasm for life we live longer. Meaning and Significance in what we do comes from accessing higher energies through Meditation.

And try to eat more of the slower-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are beans, whole grains, packed grains, winter squashes, sweet potatoes.

Really learn the differences between good fats and bad fats. Fry Less. Use cold pressed organic olive oil and flax seed oil as a main oil in salads. Include nuts, seeds, avocados, in your diet.

Reduce the amount of poisonous pesticides and steroids in your diet by buying anything which is concentrated, like oils or meat, organically, which just means that it is produced without pesticides or steroids.

Take a good multivitamin, multimineral supplement. Add things to the diet, like green tea and dark chocolate and red wine, in moderation, if you want their antioxidant effects.

Well, I think aside from eating right, you want to maintain physical activity throughout life. And that doesn’t mean you have to run marathons, or go to aerobics classes. Walking is a perfectly good physical activity if you do enough of it regularly enough. You want to learn some method of stress management. You know, like breathing exercises.

You want to really try to identify negative thought patterns that lead to negative behavior, - eating too much and smoking, or too angry or depressed, and see how you can change them through meditation and Advanced Energy Enhancement Techniques.

I think you want to keep your mind active, whether that’s by learning another language, or changing your computer operating system frequently. You want to stay connected and involved with life. Usually this comes less mechanically and selfishly than the previous methods by finding something you are really interested in and that which can help other people.

Again meditation can create this meaning and significance effect of enthusiasm for life, which really is the key. I think you really want to try to focus on the positive attributes of wisdom that come with aging, as well as the negative ones. For example, people die very quickly after retirement because they have lost their reason for living.

After all the above, if we have enthusiasm for life we live longer. Meaning and Significance in what we do comes from accessing higher energies through Meditation.

Three bold new research programmes focusing on devastating neurodegenerative diseases - Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and motor neurone disease - have received major funding from the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council. In this short interview, we meet Professors Nicholas Wood, John Hardy and Anthony Schapira at the Institute of Neurology, London, as they outline the changing face of Parkinson’s disease research and their hopes to fully understand its causes and effects at the genetic level.

Foods and Techniques for Longevity, Life Extension, Reducing the Risk of Age-Related Disease.

The key to a long and healthy life lies in staying active, eating more fruit and grains, and practicing massage and meditation in order to shed stress and create enthusiasm for life.

You can live longer possibly by reducing your risks of the age-related diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.

But, the real emphasis is not on life extension. It’s on healthy aging, trying to keep healthy as long as possible.

The key to longevity is delaying the onset and reducing the risk of age-related disease. Age-related disease are these big categories of illness that become more common after age 60 and that account for a great deal of premature death and disability.

So, the big ones are cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and its Parkinsons disease. So, I think the emphasis is on preventing those, showing you how to reduce the risk or delay the onset. Into this comes family history, personal history to see where your greatest risks are. Then concentrate the preventive efforts in those areas.

It’s not all that complicated. It just means doing some work, though. It means doing some homework and then learning the information that you need then applying it. And it’s applying it really in all areas of your lifestyle. It means looking at how you eat, how you use dietary supplements, how you exercise, how you handle stress, how you sleep, how you rest, how you deal with your mind, how to create meaning and significance in what you do. You know, you really need to work in all those areas to ensure healthy aging.

If you are smoking probably its not possible do much for you. And if you’re not paying attention to weight and not paying attention to your cholesterol and not paying attention to other medical risks that you may have, you know, you can put all the flowers you want in your house and it’s not gonna help.

De-stress using methods which work for you - everything from doing yoga to listening to relaxing music to getting massaged. Breathing methods are cost efficient and time efficient. And these mostly come from the yoga tradition. From these techniques Meditation is the Big Kahuna at 20 minutes per day.

Eat fewer foods of animal origin; more fruits and vegetables; more plant-based protein from soy foods, for example.

Make sure you’ve got omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in your diet, either from oily fish, or Flax Seed Oil.

Try to reduce consumption of quick-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are the ones made from any kind of flour, sugar, high fructose corn syrup.

Foods and Techniques for Longevity, Life Extension, Reducing the Risk of Age-Related Disease.

The key to a long and healthy life lies in staying active, eating more fruit and grains, and practicing massage and meditation in order to shed stress and create enthusiasm for life.

You can live longer possibly by reducing your risks of the age-related diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.

But, the real emphasis is not on life extension. It’s on healthy aging, trying to keep healthy as long as possible.

The key to longevity is delaying the onset and reducing the risk of age-related disease. Age-related disease are these big categories of illness that become more common after age 60 and that account for a great deal of premature death and disability.

So, the big ones are cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and its Parkinsons disease. So, I think the emphasis is on preventing those, showing you how to reduce the risk or delay the onset. Into this comes family history, personal history to see where your greatest risks are. Then concentrate the preventive efforts in those areas.

It’s not all that complicated. It just means doing some work, though. It means doing some homework and then learning the information that you need then applying it. And it’s applying it really in all areas of your lifestyle. It means looking at how you eat, how you use dietary supplements, how you exercise, how you handle stress, how you sleep, how you rest, how you deal with your mind, how to create meaning and significance in what you do. You know, you really need to work in all those areas to ensure healthy aging.

If you are smoking probably its not possible do much for you. And if you’re not paying attention to weight and not paying attention to your cholesterol and not paying attention to other medical risks that you may have, you know, you can put all the flowers you want in your house and it’s not gonna help.

De-stress using methods which work for you - everything from doing yoga to listening to relaxing music to getting massaged. Breathing methods are cost efficient and time efficient. And these mostly come from the yoga tradition. From these techniques Meditation is the Big Kahuna at 20 minutes per day.

Eat fewer foods of animal origin; more fruits and vegetables; more plant-based protein from soy foods, for example.

Make sure you’ve got omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in your diet, either from oily fish, or Flax Seed Oil.

Try to reduce consumption of quick-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are the ones made from any kind of flour, sugar, high fructose corn syrup.

And try to eat more of the slower-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are beans, whole grains, packed grains, winter squashes, sweet potatoes.

Really learn the differences between good fats and bad fats. Fry Less. Use cold pressed organic olive oil and flax seed oil as a main oil in salads. Include nuts, seeds, avocados, in your diet.

Reduce the amount of poisonous pesticides and steroids in your diet by buying anything which is concentrated, like oils or meat, organically, which just means that it is produced without pesticides or steroids.

Take a good multivitamin, multimineral supplement. Add things to the diet, like green tea and dark chocolate and red wine, in moderation, if you want their antioxidant effects.

Well, I think aside from eating right, you want to maintain physical activity throughout life. And that doesn’t mean you have to run marathons, or go to aerobics classes. Walking is a perfectly good physical activity if you do enough of it regularly enough. You want to learn some method of stress management. You know, like breathing exercises.

You want to really try to identify negative thought patterns that lead to negative behavior, - eating too much and smoking, or too angry or depressed, and see how you can change them through meditation and Advanced Energy Enhancement Techniques.

I think you want to keep your mind active, whether that’s by learning another language, or changing your computer operating system frequently. You want to stay connected and involved with life. Usually this comes less mechanically and selfishly than the previous methods by finding something you are really interested in and that which can help other people.

Again meditation can create this meaning and significance effect of enthusiasm for life, which really is the key.

So, the big ones are cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and its Parkinsons disease. So, I think the emphasis is on preventing those, showing you how to reduce the risk or delay the onset. Into this comes family history, personal history to see where your greatest risks are. Then concentrate the preventive efforts in those areas.

It’s not all that complicated. It just means doing some work, though. It means doing some homework and then learning the information that you need then applying it. And it’s applying it really in all areas of your lifestyle. It means looking at how you eat, how you use dietary supplements, how you exercise, how you handle stress, how you sleep, how you rest, how you deal with your mind, how to create meaning and significance in what you do. You know, you really need to work in all those areas to ensure healthy aging.

If you are smoking probably its not possible do much for you. And if you’re not paying attention to weight and not paying attention to your cholesterol and not paying attention to other medical risks that you may have, you know, you can put all the flowers you want in your house and it’s not gonna help.

De-stress using methods which work for you - everything from doing yoga to listening to relaxing music to getting massaged. Breathing methods are cost efficient and time efficient. And these mostly come from the yoga tradition. From these techniques Meditation is the Big Kahuna at 20 minutes per day.

Eat fewer foods of animal origin; more fruits and vegetables; more plant-based protein from soy foods, for example.

Make sure you’ve got omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in your diet, either from oily fish, or Flax Seed Oil.

Try to reduce consumption of quick-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are the ones made from any kind of flour, sugar, high fructose corn syrup.

And try to eat more of the slower-digesting carbohydrate foods, which are beans, whole grains, packed grains, winter squashes, sweet potatoes.

Really learn the differences between good fats and bad fats. Fry Less. Use cold pressed organic olive oil and flax seed oil as a main oil in salads. Include nuts, seeds, avocados, in your diet.

Reduce the amount of poisonous pesticides and steroids in your diet by buying anything which is concentrated, like oils or meat, organically, which just means that it is produced without pesticides or steroids.

Take a good multivitamin, multimineral supplement. Add things to the diet, like green tea and dark chocolate and red wine, in moderation, if you want their antioxidant effects.

Well, I think aside from eating right, you want to maintain physical activity throughout life. And that doesn’t mean you have to run marathons, or go to aerobics classes. Walking is a perfectly good physical activity if you do enough of it regularly enough. You want to learn some method of stress management. You know, like breathing exercises.

You want to really try to identify negative thought patterns that lead to negative behavior, - eating too much and smoking, or too angry or depressed, and see how you can change them through meditation and Advanced Energy Enhancement Techniques.

I think you want to keep your mind active, whether that’s by learning another language, or changing your computer operating system frequently. You want to stay connected and involved with life. Usually this comes less mechanically and selfishly than the previous methods by finding something you are really interested in and that which can help other people.

Again meditation can create this meaning and significance effect of enthusiasm for life, which really is the key. I think you really want to try to focus on the positive attributes of wisdom that come with aging, as well as the negative ones. For example, people die very quickly after retirement because they have lost their reason for living.

After all the above, if we have enthusiasm for life we live longer. Meaning and Significance in what we do comes from accessing higher energies through Meditation.

what are the treatment for these diseases?

I am doing a biology research assignment and I’m wondering what other types of diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, is hoping to be cured through the use of embryonic stem cell treatments. I understand that some people are against this method and all but this is just for a school research assignment

Any personal experiences are welcome or general knowledge is fine too.

Thanks a lot!
