Last week when I wrote Fighting Parkinson’s, and your self-fulfilling prophecy, I did not anticipate a part 2. However, based upon an issue that has come up repeatedly in recent coaching sessions, I “got the message” that I needed to do a part 2. The issue is this: When you are having foot cramping and pain up the inside of your leg and/or pain up the outside of your leg, what does it mean?
Their way, that is, the Western Medicine view of foot cramping and pain up the inside of your leg (as reported to me by multiple people): Your Parkinson’s is getting worse, and you have dystonia. Their solution: Increase medication.
Their way, that is, the Western Medicine view of pain up the outside of your leg (as reported to me by multiple people): Your Parkinson’s is getting worse, and you have restless leg syndrome (rls). Their solution: Add a new medication.
Their treatment plan follows their philosophy of Parkinson’s, which is: You have a progressively degenerative neurological disease for which there is no cure. They give you medications or brain surgery to assist you in tolerating the disease for the rest of your life as their view is that you cannot recover from this disease, so the best they offer you is to try to make the rest of your life more tolerable while you progressively degenerate.
Our way, that is, the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery® view of foot cramping and pain up the inside of your leg: Your Parkinson’s is not getting worse, and you are experiencing a blockage in your liver meridian. Here is the liver meridian so you can see for yourself. Our solution: 1. Medical Qigong for the Liver from the Recipe for healing and strengthening the liver (first half of this Qigong focuses on the liver meridian). 2. If you want to seek pain relief, do acupressure on the liver meridian. Look at the liver meridian graphic linked above; press and then massage for 10-15 seconds each point 1-14 on each side of your body.
Our way, that is, the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery® view of pain up the outside of your leg: Your Parkinson’s is not getting worse, and you are experiencing a blockage in your gallbladder meridian. Here is the gallbladder meridian so you can see for yourself. Our solution: 1. Medical Qigong for the Liver from the Recipe for healing and strengthening the gallbladder (second half of this Qigong focuses on the gallbladder meridian). 2. If you want to seek pain relief, do acupressure on the gallbladder meridian. Look at the gallbladder meridian graphic linked above; press and then massage for 10-15 seconds each point 44-30 only, starting at 44, on each side of your body.
Are you beginning to see the pattern?
Their way is that you are always getting worse, and they try to pacify the symptoms. Their self-fulfilling prophecy is gloom and doom with no hope…no hope for the rest of your life.
Our way is that if you are doing the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®, you are always getting better no matter what it looks like on the outside. Why? Because we are removing the causes of the symptoms. The symptoms are a notification that something is wrong underneath the surface, and we are going deep inside and eradicating the causes of your imbalances, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Our self-fulfilling prophecy is faith and hope, and healing and recovery, and EMPOWERMENT!
With the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®, you are empowered to take control of your life and control of your Parkinson’s, to stare fear in the face and tell your fear, “I am not having any of you. I have faith, and my faith in my recovery trumps my fear. I have faith, and my faith in my recovery empowers me in my life and my recovery.”
Simply put:
Their way pacifies symptoms: Parkinson’s is a progressively degenerative life sentence.
Our way eradicates the causes: Parkinson’s is curable.
Whether you accept their way or our way is a choice.
Accept our way and make it your POSITIVE SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.
“I have the power to heal myself.
I have the power within me.
I have the power to heal myself.
I am recovery.”
You are recovery. Know it. Be it.
You are worth it!!!
All my best,
Howard
Thank you, Howard. Your words are so encouraging!
Thank you too, Dana for the medication info.
Hi Howard needed this timely reminder just saw on tv a dr’s idea of Parkinson’s. I believe in recovery.
Thank you for the clarity and inspiration to keep on again. Helen
Gosh, Howard….your determined, consistent and loving support of our growing community of PD people committed to recovery moves me deeply…. thank you, thank you…THANK YOU!
The song is fantastic and such a catchy tune. It’s already embedded in my mind. I had not heard it before now. Thank you!
I just finished singing and dancing along with Pete and his wonderful song after reading part II. thanks Howard for writing it all out so clearly – I attempted to do the same thing yesterday which was a worthwhile exercise but not nearly as concise, inclusive and to the point. I too find it encouraging that there are so many of us in RECOVERY mode and I am filled with Joy. Marilyn
Oo! Love that song: and the sense of community; each of us growing more and more recovered with every Qigong exercise til one day we wake all recovered. Hey!
So much gratitude Howard…
