The kidneys are of major importance to our health, since they regulate the amount of water and salts in our body, which helps us to maintain the body’s correct chemical balance.

Healthy kidneys make important chemicals called hormones. These hormones circulate in our bloodstream, sending messages throughout the body, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and red blood cell production, and managing the calcium balance in our body.

The kidneys also balance our body’s minerals, which are of paramount importance.

The kidneys’ key role is to detoxify and filter impurities from the blood. The kidneys help remove waste products, such as urea and creatinine, from the body. When the body breaks down protein (such as meat), urea and other wastes are made.

Creatinine is a waste product of the muscles. As kidney function decreases, the levels of urea and creatinine in the blood increase. If you have high levels of urea or creatinine, it indicates that the kidneys are not functioning properly.

Some signs that you may have challenged kidney function are:

1. Swelling in the lower legs or around the eyes.

2. Nausea or vomiting.

3. Shortness of breath.

4. Sleep problems.

5. Unexplained weight-loss.

6. Weakness or fatigue.

7. Dry, itchy skin.

8. Difficulty concentrating.

9. Urinating more or less than usual.

Kidney stones form when the kidneys are not able to process and excrete waste. When this happens, both the excess minerals and the toxins and crystals of unprocessed minerals begin to build up. The hard lumps in the kidney are also called nephrolithiasis or renal stones.

Kidney stones are made up of minerals that accumulate in the kidneys and form crystals. There are 4 types of hard crystals that can form, but kidney stones are primarily composed of calcium oxalate stones. Cysteine, uric acid, and struvite are common forms also, but they are less prevalent.

Kidney stones are a common health problem for many people, but men have a tendency to have 10% more kidney stones than women. When the stones pass from the kidneys into the urinary tract, this can cause a very sharp pain in your lower abdomen, back, side or groin, which can cause pain when you urinate, or nausea and vomiting, fever, and chills.

So, how do we prevent kidney stones?

First, avoid pharmaceutical drugs that can cause these stones to be formed.

The pharmaceutical drugs that can cause the formation of kidney stones are: laxatives, some antibiotics, potassium-sparing diuretics (used for high blood pressure), potassium channel blockers (used to control heart rhythm and for multiple sclerosis), and sulfonylureas (used to treat type 2 diabetes).

Holistic remedies include eliminating refined sodium (white salt), as well as packed, processed, and fast foods. Overeating white salt with no minerals, (which is primarily sodium), increases the number of oxalates you’re consuming. Highly refined white salt in the diet can increase calcium levels in your urine, which can cause kidney stones to form.

Avoid high-oxalate foods. Overeating protein leads to the accumulation of oxalates in the blood and the kidneys, where they can form stones. Limit chicken, beef, pork, shellfish, and organ meats in the diet. Organ meats, like liver, are excellent sources of protein, but they contain high levels of oxalates.

Beets, rhubarb, cranberry, and full-grown spinach are high in oxalates. Although baby spinach and spinach sprouts do not contain high oxalates.

Pure organic cranberry juice can be helpful in preventing urinary tract infections, even though cranberries contain some oxalates. One thing to be aware of is that some manufacturers combine cranberry juice with sugar, which increases the oxalate value in each serving. I recommend brands that contain no sugar or additives.

Avoid drinking sodas and/or using artificial sweeteners. Sodas contain high amounts of uric acid and oxalates, which lead to the formation of kidney stones. Sugar-free sodas and artificial sweeteners reduce kidney function, making it difficult for the organ to clear oxalates from the tissues.

When the saturation of calcium oxalate in the blood become more elevated, the kidneys become overwhelmed, and this results in the kidney’s ineffectiveness to excrete all of the particles. The crystals that remain in the kidneys begin to form kidney stones. When this happens, symptoms like a throbbing pain in the middle of the lower back usually begin.

Holistic Remedies for Kidney Stones are:

1. Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. The combination of lemon juice, olive oil, and raw apple cider vinegar is one of my favorites and, in my opinion, one of the most effective remedies for kidney stones and the discomfort they cause.

At the first symptom of stone pain, (use all organic ingredients if possible), mix 2 ounces of olive oil with 2 ounces of lemon juice.

Drink it straight and follow with a 12-ounce glass of purified water. Wait 30 minutes. Then, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon into 12 ounces of purified water, add one tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar, and drink. Repeat the lemon juice, water and apple cider vinegar recipe every hour until symptoms improve.

2. Use the Global Healing Kidney Support Bundle to detoxify, flush, and purge the kidneys of built-up toxins. This bundle includes Plant-Based Kidney Health, an all-natural, kidney-support formula, Oxy-Powder to facilitate toxin removal, and Turmeric for antioxidant support. Along with colon and liver cleansing, it is one of the most essential cleansing protocols for your health!

3. Drink Dandelion Root Tea or take a dandelion root supplement. Dandelion root is a marvelous supplement that can help detoxify and cleanse the kidneys and support normal kidney function. Taking up to 500 mg twice a day may be beneficial.

4. Eat magnesium-rich foods like Kidney Beans can be used to make a tonic for cleansing the kidneys.

Try removing the beans from inside the pods, and then boil the pods in purified hot water for six hours. This liquid can be strained through cheese cloth, cooled and taken throughout the day for one day to ease kidney stone pain.

Studies show that people with recurrent kidney stones who took magnesium supplements showed significant improvement in symptoms.

5. Drink some Horsetail Tea, which is a natural diuretic that helps flush excess water and uric acid from the kidneys. Drink up to 3-4 cups of horsetail tea daily or take 2 grams of the herb in capsule form daily.

6. Ingesting Pomegranates or Pomegranate Juice is very beneficial because of its “astringent with sour” properties, which help detoxify the blood and kidneys.

7. Add Celery to your diet. Celery and celery seeds are detoxifiers and excellent kidney tonics. Celery, including the seeds, is rich in vitamins and minerals, which include A, B-complex, C, iron, phosphorous, calcium, and many more essential micronutrients.

Adding organic celery and/or celery juice to your diet, or adding celery seed to your recipes may prevent kidney stone formation.

8. Basil Tea (Tulsi Tea or Holy basil) can help support the kidneys.

Basil or tulsi tea can be taken throughout the day for proper fluid, mineral, and uric acid balance. Basil has been found to be a potent adaptogen with other antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing properties. These components help to avoid oxidative damage.

If you have kidney stones, try taking one teaspoon of fresh basil juice with raw, unfiltered honey each day for one week to six months.

9. Drink Coconut Water, because it can dissolve kidney stones.

Organic coconut water is packed with electrolytes and minerals that can restore lost body fluids and help someone get more hydrated. This is vital because constant dehydration can lead to kidney stone formation.

When dehydrated, the urine volume that is produced can be highly acidic. There are some minerals that can settle in the urine as unbeneficial byproducts of metabolism, and they can find an acidic environment ideal for crystallization. This results in a gradual build-up of these crystals, eventually leading to the formation of solid stones.

I was told that a coconut water IV can also reverse a heat stroke, because it is extremely hydrating. Coconut water can also be used for blood transfusions when blood is not available .

There are many other health benefits that coconut water provides, including aiding in digestion and increasing your metabolism.

In closing, to keep your kidneys healthy, stay hydrated, avoid pharmaceutical drugs, and try some of these holistic remedies. Take good care of your kidneys, so they can take good care of you.

The post Holistic Remedies For Kidney Stones And Struvite Crystals appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

Through my research into many studies, it has revealed to me that environmental toxicants including pesticides, herbicides, and other pollutants are the most probable cause or link to an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. So, let’s look at these toxicants.

Pesticides
One 2011 study identified Paraquat and Rotenone as the two pesticides that were strongly associated with Parkinson’s. The study further explained that PD risk was associated with lifetime use of these pesticides.
In 2017, the first Paraquat lawsuit was filed in Missouri in behalf of farmers and agricultural workers who subsequently developed Parkinson’s disease after occupational pesticide exposure involving Paraquat.
A 2019 Washington State study revealed a link between premature mortality from Parkinson’s disease and exposure to glyphosate and paraquat (in which glyphosate is an active ingredient). Glyphosate has been associated with premature morality from Parkinson’s Disease.

Organic Pollutants
Exposure to organic pollutants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides has also been linked to an increased risk of developing PD. PCBs were used in various industrial settings until they were banned in the 1970s. A 2000 study found an increase in Parkinson’s disease cases which may have resulted from exposure to PCBs.
Heavy Metals
Numerous epidemiologic studies have suggested the role of air pollution in the risk of PD. Heavy metals including copper, lead, mercury, and manganese, (which are also airborne metals that are emitted into the air) may be linked to the development of Parkinson’s.

Agent Orange
Agent Orange is a defoliant chemical that was used to a great extent during the Vietnam war. Exposure to Agent Orange has been associated with birth defects and multiple types of cancer. In 2010, the Department of Veteran Affairs added Parkinson’s disease to the list of conditions that are potentially associated with exposure to the chemical.

My Top Suggestions For Natural Remedies

1. Eat organic, high-quality, fresh food.
2. Drink good-quality mineral-rich water.
3. Do a Bentonite Clay cleanse.
4. Exercise and sweat (you can use an infrared sauna).
5. Supplement your diet with organic apple cider vinegar.
6. Clean your home, garden, and body with toxin-free cleaners.
7. Use Lifewave patches.

A Healthy Eating Plan

It is shown that Parkinson’s patients who eat a whole-food, nutrient-dense diet that includes plenty of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, and a limited amount of high-quality, non-processed, organic meats (that are free of antibiotics, hormones, and additives), live longer, higher-quality lives.

People with Parkinson’s should eat a variety of organic sprouted whole grains, organic vegetables, organic fruits, organic, non-pasteurized milk and dairy products, and organic, non-processed protein-rich foods such as meat and sprouted organic beans.

Include organic, raw, sprouted nuts, extra-virgin olive oil, pure coconut oil, fresh water fish, and pasture raised, organic fresh humanely raised eggs to your diet, for their beneficial fats.

Make sure to use the right type of mineral-rich pink salt, such as Redmond’s “Real” Salt or Himalayan Salt. (Throw out any white salt. It’s been bleached, and is unhealthy, and is read by the body as toxic.)
Make sure you are hydrating properly with pure organic coconut water and pure filtered water with the minerals added back in. A great selection of mineral-rich bottled water is “Crazy Water” #3 or #4 (HEB, Tom Thumb, Albertson’s, Kroger, and Natural Grocer all carry it.) Avoid municipal tap water.
Avoiding processed foods and those that contain preservatives, synthetic ingredients, antibiotics, MSG, fructose, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, vegetable oils (containing soy, corn, cotton, and/or canola), and other chemicals is also very beneficial.

Never use a microwave in any way. It destroys the integrity of the food and water molecules in the food or liquid, and infuses it with chaotic energy that disrupts the harmonic energy of the body. Use a cup warmer, an electric kettle, a toaster oven, or a normal oven or stove top. It is well worth the effort.

To improve your health, 
eat Certified Organic all the time,
when possible. 

Some eating guidelines are:

1. Enjoy organic raw fruits and vegetables in their natural form, preferably vine or tree-ripened (avoid drinking any type of fruit juice or carbonated drink). These organic fruits and veggies in their natural form and vine or tree ripened provide antioxidants to help reduce free radical damage and lower inflammation. Consuming fresh fruits and veggies also help provide
fiber and natural pure quality water for hydration, 
which can help prevent constipation.

2. Consuming healthy fats like omega 3 fatty-acids. Healthy omega 3’s must be obtained from a food source. Most people are very low in omega 3 fatty acids. These omega 3 fatty acids support brain function and health, help the body absorb more nutrition, can provide more energy, elevate dopamine levels, and are anti-inflammatory.
Consume foods like avocado, pure unprocessed coconut and coconut oil, pastured butter, sprouted nuts or seeds like walnuts and flax, and cold-pressed hemp or flax seed oils. Adding cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil or hemp seed oil can provide vitamin E. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant. Vitamin E can be depleted by the chemical “chlorine” in tap water and swimming pools.

3. Eating a mostly vegetarian diet and minimalizing protein in the diet, has been shown to help reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s.

4. Drink Green Tea daily. Green tea contains polyphenol antioxidants that help fight free radicals. It also contains theanine, which elevates dopamine levels in the brain. 

Pour hot (not boiling) water over green tea, let it brew for about 15-20 minutes, then drink. Try drinking three cups a day to reap the most benefits.
Some recommended organic green teas are: 

a. Tulsi tea (a good brand is Organic India.) – Tulsi tea is also known as holy basil and tulasi, and is one of the most revered herbs in the Ayurvedic pharmacy. Considered sacred, this herb has been revered for centuries due to its ability to impart clarity and lightness to the body, mind, and spirit.
b. Davidson’s Herbal Tea with Chamomile Flower. 
c. Numi Organic Tea.

Foods To Avoid

Try to cut down or eliminate:
non-organic, non-sprouted grains, seeds, nuts, quinoa, rice, from the diet.
GMO foods
Microwaved food
Processed foods
Processed beverages
Fast Foods
Sugar or artificial sweeteners
Alcohol – it can disrupt neurologic functioning and contribute to mood changes or complications.
Gut inflaming foods like shellfish, peanuts, gluten, and non-organic pasteurized dairy.


Supplements that can help with Parkinson’s 


Coenzyme Q10 (1,200 milligrams daily): A powerful antioxidant that can help slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Studies have shown very low levels of coenzyme Q10 in the brain and blood of Parkinson’s patients.
Liposomal Vitamin C (750 milligrams, 4x daily): Can be used as an antioxidant to prevent free-radical damage. Also supports strong immune function.
Vitamin E (400 IU daily): An important antioxidant that supports the brain.
Green Vegetable Powder Supplement: Make sure the formula includes spirulina, chlorella, broccoli-sprout, moringa, or wheatgrass to provide critical minerals and help with detoxification. ( If you order the broccoli sprout powder, from the IOGOP, put “Nancy” in the discount code box for a 50% discount.)
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (1,000 milligrams daily): Help reduce inflammation and support neurological health. 

Vitamin D and Magnesium. To maintain bone health, make sure your diet includes plenty of magnesium and Vitamin D. Vitamin D can’t be metabolized without sufficient magnesium levels, meaning Vitamin D remains stored and inactive for as many as 50 percent of Americans.

Natural Detoxification Systems
These can help in removing the body’s harmful toxins 
that have been or are causing the problems.


Bentonite Clay Cleansing – To Remove Harmful Toxins From The Body

Bentonite clay is a volcanic ash containing many minerals. Historically, Native Americans used it for detoxifying and cleansing their bowels. They called it Ee-Wah-Kee, meaning “the mud that heals.” Bentonite has the ability to bind with toxins, drugs, electricity, and heavy metals, and draw them out of the body.
You may wonder: If it is binding with these, does it bind with nutrients and pull them out too? Some studies have demonstrated that for bentonite clay to be harmful, 50 percent of a person’s food intake would have to be bentonite clay.[i] Nevertheless, I recommend you don’t do this cleanse very often, and make sure that after the cleanse you add some extra nutrients to your body.

Some people put the bentonite clay into their bath water (one cup in a tub of water) to help pull toxins from the body. The clay can dry out your skin though.

Strongly polarized, bentonite clay has a powerful electromagnetic field when hydrated. It can attract and hold on to forms of radiation, and it has the ability to pick up a great deal more than its own weight in positively charged particles. Dr. Jensen, ND, DC, PhD, suggested using bentonite to absorb radiation from bones, which are subjected to radiation through the use of X-rays, computers, television, and radiation treatments for cancer.

The medical community has found clay to have amazing healing properties. One study by a research duo from Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences found:
Unlike conventional antibiotics routinely administered by injection or pills, the so-called “healing clays” could be applied as rub-on creams or ointments to keep MRSA infections from spreading. . . The clays also show promise against a wide range of other harmful bacteria, including those that cause skin infections and food poisoning. . . Their study, one of the first to explore the antimicrobial activity of natural clays in detail, was presented at the 235th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society. . .

Clays have been used for thousands of years as a remedy for infected wounds, indigestion, and other health problems, either by applying clay to the skin or eating it. Cleopatra’s famed beauty has been credited to her use of clay facials. Today, clays are still commonly used at health spas in the form of facials and mud baths. However, armed with new investigative tools, researchers Shelley Haydel and Lynda Williams are putting the clays to the test, scientifically.

“Clays are little chemical drug stores in a packet,” says study co-leader Williams, a geochemist in the School of Earth and Space Exploration.[ii] In addition to finding that MRSA (met
hicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was susceptible to bentonite clays, they found the clays exhibited antimicrobial effects against Mycobacterium ulcerans (which is related to tuberculosis, and results in a flesh-digesting disease) and two causes of food poisoning: E. coli and Salmonella.

However, pregnant women and people on pharmaceutical medications should avoid consuming bentonite clay, according to Dr. Akilah M. El, and everyone should “avoid taking bentonite clay within two hours of consumption of any medicine, including supplements.”[iii] This is because bentonite clay can absorb other molecules and might bind to some medications or supplements, affecting their absorption.
Bentonite clay can be used externally or internally. Arizona State University found that some bentonite clays were contaminated. So, only use food-grade bentonite clay (Sonne’s #7 detoxificant) that is specifically labeled safe for internal use. Consult your physician if you have concerns.

Use a wood, plastic, ceramic, or glass bowl and spoon when using bentonite clay. Avoid using a metal bowl and spoon, because the metal will react with the clay and reduce most of its healing properties.


Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits

Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural, fermented vinegar made from fermented apple cider. Added to the apple juice is yeast, which causes fermentation. The yeast naturally converts the sugar found in the apples to alcohol. The primary health ingredient in apple cider vinegar is acetic acid. It is the acetic acid which gives ACV its health benefits. Acetic acid has a sour taste.
The health benefits of the acetic acid include: balanced blood sugar levels, improved digestion, reduction in inflammation, and lowered blood pressure. The acetic acid slows the breakdown of starch into sugar. This helps balance blood sugar levels. Dr. Stephanie Seneff, who was a senior researcher at MIT, focused some of her studies was on toxins in the environment, and how they can affect your health.
She told me that having some organic apple cider vinegar in a small glass of water can help flush out the toxic herbicide ingredient, glyphosate, from the liver.
Apple cider vinegar that is less processed and contains the “Mother,” is the healthiest. A popular brand is Bragg’s. They’re known for an organic, raw, unfiltered, unprocessed and low sugar product.
The health benefits of having some apple cider vinegar are that it contains high vitamin and mineral content, including vitamins A, B complex, C, and Beta Carotene, and the minerals include: sodium, phosphorous, iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium, as well as some complex amino acids, enzymes and pectin.

8 Suggestions For A Healthier Life With PD


1. Lifewave patches – X39 and Glutathione patch 
– crystal embedded patches, non-transdermal, and a natural detoxifier.

The inventor, David Schmidt, was hired by US Department Of Defense to keep our submarine crews/navy seals up and active without any pharmaceutical drugs or caffeine. He developed these patches. which are also being used and approved for US Olympic Athletes.


X39 patches activate the body’s own GHK- CU copper peptide, a copper peptide in our bodies. This peptide resets up to 4000 genes to a younger state, decreases inflammation and pain, helps repair collagen in all tissues, resets the circadian rhythm for better sleep, balances the brain and can encourage apoptosis of cancer cells.

Wearing this patch for over-all health along with the detoxifier glutathione has been shown to be a very power combination. X39 activates and can  reset your body’s own to support wellness and health. This would boost vitality in a completely non-invasive, safe and cost-effective way.

If you decide to order, please use my link and they may ask for my I D Number is 1439757 and my link will say “nancyaddison “
https://Lifewave.com/nancyaddison
Glutathione patches — a non-transdermal technology (nothing goes into the body)- offset and minimizes the effects of the unavoidable carcinogens in our lives.

Glutathione helps keep cells in the body from malfunctioning and protects against free radicals. 

(If you would like more information on the patches, please contact me at 214-202-9243, text first, or nancyalisa@protonmail.com. I can help you order them so you get more for your money).

2. Essential oils for Parkinson’s – 


Using essential oils may effectively reduce and calm some of the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease such as depression, sleep trouble, skin inflammation and digestive issues. Helichrysum and Frankincense oil have been shown to reduce inflammation of the brain, and vetiver oil has been found to reduce tremors. Rub 2 drops of frankincense, helichrysum and vetiver oil on the temples and neck two times daily or put 2 drops of frankincense on the roof of the mouth.
They carry these essential oils at Young Living Oils.

3. Exercises and Other Movement Remedies

Washington University School of Medicine reports that exercise is at the forefront of Parkinson’s treatment.
Numerous studies now show that exercise seems to have many anti-inflammatory, antidepressant and neuroprotective mechanisms that improve cognitive health. Animal studies have revealed many exercise-related protective effects including reductions in dopaminergic neurotoxins, improved brain neurotrophic factors, improved neuroplasticity, as well as reduced risk of dementia and cognitive impairments. With exercise, you should Stretch to Prevent Stiff Muscles.
Gentle exercise and stretching make everyday tasks easier. They can also help reduce stiffness, soreness and pain.

4. Practice Mind-Body Exercises Like Tai Chi

Tai chi is the Chinese martial art of slow, rhythmic movement. Research conducted by the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at West China Hospital shows that in Parkinson’s patients, tai chi is great for maintaining strength and balance, reducing risk for falls, and can also helps alleviate anxiety or depression. (13) Source: https://draxe.com/health/natural-remedies-anxiety/
An hour of tai chi twice a week is recommended for helping with stability, coordination and tasks like walking.

5. Participate in Water Aerobics

Trouble balancing, muscle loss, strength decline and stiffness can make traditional exercises difficult. Water aerobics can have the same benefits as other types of conventional exercise without the risk of falling. Avoid chlorinated water, because it is toxic and can cause the loss of vitamin E, and the chlorine turns cholesterol to plaque.

6. Stay Hydrated 


Muscles can spasm when your fluid intake is low or when you’ve been consuming diuretics that increase urination, including alcohol, some herbal teas, or certain medications and prescriptions. That’s because your body only has so much fluid to go around, so when you’re running low and experiencing dehydration, fluid is drawn away from muscles. Instead your body prioritizes, keeping vital fluids in parts of your body that are needed to keep you alive (your brain and other vital organs).
The problem is that there are many nerves that connect to muscles and control your movements, but these only work properly when they’re surrounded by enough water and sodium (pink salt). When this ratio is off and you’re dehydrated, muscles become hypersensitive and involuntarily contract.

7. Acupuncture

According to the Neurodegenerative Disease Research Group at King’s College in London, recent research has shown that acupuncture can relieve Parkinson’s symptoms by generating a neural response in areas of the brain that are particularly affected by inflammation, such as the putamen and the thalamus.
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to help reduce pain, anxiety, insomnia and stiffness. Now it’s suggested that it can even help slow cell death and attenuate oxidative stress that causes damage to dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.

8. Chiropractic Care

Since “PD affects the central nervous system primarily, keeping this part of the body functioning optimally is a must. Parkinson’s disease is a slow-acting disease that progresses in stages and affects the brain and muscle function. It is a brain disorder directly related to the nervous system which often causes shaking or tremors, specifically in the hands.” Recent studies have shown that chiropractic care has been proven to improve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Because of this, regular visits to a chiropractor may be extremely helpful for those with Parkinson’s or those at risk of developing it.

“Dopamine plays an important role in how the brain functions. In individuals with Parkinson’s disease, nerve cells are unable to produce the required amount of dopamine that the brain and body need to function smoothly. Neurologically-based chiropractic care can focus on improving nerve function by removing spinal misalignments. These misalignments can cause interference which disrupts communication in the body. Gentle adjustments will remove these misalignments and allow nerve cells to function at optimal levels of health so that they ensure proper dopamine production and improve Parkinson’s symptoms.”

“Misalignments of the spine add to muscle stiffness, as vertebrae that are out of alignment can pull on muscles, causing tightness, tension, and pain. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment and relieving muscles stiffness so muscles can work together more smoothly and effectively. This can help those with Parkinson’s get around easier, improve muscle control, and avoid dangerous accidents.”
“Chiropractic can slow down the progression of Parkinson’s disease substantially to improve the quality of life for those with the disease as well as for their family members and caretakers.” PHARMACEUTICAL Medication may help with managing symptoms, but it only MASKS the symptoms and CAN CAUSE other potentially harmful side effects.

“Chiropractic care seeks to address the root cause of the problem. This improves nerve function to decrease symptoms, increase health and function, and improve overall quality of life.”
