Parkinson's Disease Treatments
Find out about new Parkinson's disease treatments from alternative medicine. Read about a Parkinson's therapy that greatly reduces or eliminates symptoms.
Two promising Parkinson's disease therapies are intravenous glutathione and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), says Julian Whitaker, M.D. Dr. Whitaker has a clinic in Newport Beach specializing in alternative medicine, so he can see actual results of alternative treatments.
In his newsletter, he describes a woman who had Parkinson’s disease for fourteen years, with tremors and difficulty walking. At the time she first visited the Whitaker clinic, she was 55 years old. After four days of IV glutathione treatment and HBOT, she was able to walk more steadily. Additional treatment allowed her to stop using her walker and cane, wear shoes with heels and even dance. She says she went "from barely walking to going up and down stairs on my own." She continues to get these Parkinson's disease treatments occasionally for maintenance.
Dr. Whitaker says that oral glutathione has a hard time getting to the brain, so the IV infusion of glutathione is necessary. He says most patients see "dramatic improvements after just a handful of treatments, and many perk up after their first infusion." Studies indicate that patients symptoms abate for two to four months after treatment, he says.
The HBOT works to flood the brain with oxygen, producing a variety of healing effects. It is the combination of the two, IV glutathione and HBOT, that produce dramatic results.
Supplements for Parkinson's
Supplements also show promise in decreasing symptoms and slowing progression of Parkinson’s disease. These include coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, fish oil, curcumin, creatine, vitamin D, N-acetyl-cysteine and vitamin C.
