An honor to speak out

This week I had a great honor. I spoke to an auditorium full of first-year medical students. They were studying the therapeutic use of exercise, and their professor wanted to use Parkinson's as an example of a condition that can be treated with exercise. I told them about the symptoms. I told them the principles of Parkinson's-specific exercise that address those symptoms. Then I had them get up and try out some of those exercises themselves. I made them bend and stretch; I made them count out loud. I challenged their brains by making them step in different directions according to the numbers I called out. They giggled.

They giggled. but they learned. As I passed a group of students in the hall after class, they were talking about me . ... "She really knows her stuff," one said. They thanked me for my presentation. I told them I was pleased that they as future doctors were learning the importance of exercise in Parkinson's. It was an honor to be part of that process.

The professor said that when I come back next year, he might tweak the "show" a bit. But his colleague who was handling the audio said, "Don't change a thing!"

  5. I was diagnosed 3 years ago at age 56. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability, and soft voice. I also have difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and 6 months ago Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. I tried every shots available but nothing worked. I have been reading about thiamine and want to start him on high dose therapy (hoping that his symptoms do not become worse). In June 2018, my neurologist and I decided to go with natural treatment and was introduced to Dr. Fabien, i contacted him at www.kunimeherbs.com. I wanted to know more about him before I go ahead with the kunime herbal medicine. I was extra cautious about anything like this. I had a few doubts in my mind, I have searched all over. he explained to me how the kunime medicine works to cure Parkinson’s disease. I discussed with my husband, he permitted me to try it. I made an order for the herbal medicine. I started using the medicine, I noticed tremendous changes, I had a total decline of symptoms with this treatment, the Tremor, falling frequently, stiffness, body weakness, balance issues, depression and others has subsided. After 5/6 months of using the Herbal medication, I was 100% free from Parkinson’s disease. I've really learned to appreciate life now. Having this disease has taught me patience and not to take the little things such as being able to talk or to smile for granted. This treatment is a breakthrough for all suffering from Parkinson’s, don’t give up Hope. Kunime herbs are truly gift from God. No more people have to be diagnosed and burdened with this disease. 409 209-0379
