If you want to be cured of Parkinson’s, then you need to begin breaking the rules, clearing out the illusions, and writing your own script of where you want to go in your life and your recovery. It is time to choose to start truly hunting your cure!
Faith says “I know I am going to be cured of Parkinson’s, and I will do the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery® every day until I am cured!”
Before we talk further about hunting your cure, you need to stop hunting your fear. Here are a couple of looks at fear from previous posts:
“Marie shared with me something she had been told in a seminar many years ago. The instructor explained that fear is a prayer. If you live in fear, it is like praying for everything you fear to come true.”
“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice. We are all telling ourselves a story and that day mine changed.” From After Earth.
Fear is just a thought, it has no form or substance, it is vapor. However, when people are confronted by fear, they fall into one of two categories: Fighters and Hunters. If you fight the fear, you realize it has no form or substance, and that it does not exist in the reality of the moment…at that point, the fear dissolves. If you hunt the fear, you do not give up the hunt until you get what you are hunting…the thing you feared.
Oftentimes, I tell people that when they are consumed with fear, they think they are running away from what they fear. However, in actuality, they are running right to the thing they fear. This is because they stop doing whatever positive things they were doing in their life out of “fear” and this sends them right into fear’s arms. The examples above confirm this point.
Taking a look at Parkinson’s, if you want to be cured one day, you have to stop hunting your fears — fear you are getting worse, fear you cannot get better, fear of not being perfect, fear of not getting everything correct, fear of not being in control of everything, fear of having a walker, fear of ending up in a wheelchair — fear, fear, fear, fear, fear! It is ENOUGH.
The Western Medicine Rules: 1. You have a progressively degenerative, neurological disease, where they do not know the cause and do not have a cure. 2. Even with their treatment plan, you cannot slow, halt, or reverse your Parkinson’s.
So, if you want to have a full recovery from Parkinson’s, actually cure yourself from the disease, you have to have faith over fear and begin breaking the rules!
It is a choice. If you think about, when does a hunter stop hunting his or her prey? When the prey is caught. If you are hunting your fear, then you will live in fear forever…each time you catch your prey, and you suffer whatever you feared, you then find something else to fear and you start hunting that fear. The cycle never ends unless and until you say, “ENOUGH!” I know this is true because this is how I was and this is how the people with Parkinson’s with whom I have discussed this issue on a regular basis are.
Don’t you think it is time to begin breaking the rules, clearing out the illusions, and writing your own script of where you want to go in your life and your recovery. It is time to choose to start truly hunting your cure!
It is a choice. It is time to take the giant leap and choose faith! Faith and fear take the same amount of energy, so faith seems like such a better choice.
Faith comes from deep inside you. It is that place where many of you have not been in decades. As you know from reading this blog, when I speak of God or Higher Power, I use these terms to describe the non-describable universal force that surrounds us and runs through us so everybody will know that they are included in being cured from Parkinson’s, and being cured is not based upon their religious beliefs or lack thereof. Please feel free to substitute your own terms to fit your belief system in the explanation below. With that being clarified, here is where to find your faith and KNOW you are ready to hunt your cure:
Faith. Throughout life, we, the great thinkers, start to trust our rational, logical, over-thinking minds, and we lose the instinctive nature of trusting God’s messages that come from within, where part of God resides within us. We get an impulse, and we stop and think it through and over-think it through, and often we fail to act on what it was that God was giving the impulse to do; sometimes, this is because we are afraid we might misinterpret the message or make a mistake. Over time, we fail to notice the impulses at all. Hunting your cure is the journey to go back to clear out the things in life where you did not feel good about yourself or where you started to lack trust in yourself, for it was then that you stopped listening to messages inside and started putting layers over who you are.
Faith is trusting the messages you get from deep inside yourself that tell you “Since I am doing the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®, I know that I am on my path to being cured of Parkinson’s.”
Faith is trusting your decision cure yourself of Parkinson’s.
Faith is ignoring everybody who tries to tell you something different than how you have decided to cure yourself of Parkinson’s.
Faith is hunting your cure and not looking back with regret.
Faith is hunting your cure and not looking forward in fear.
Faith is living in the moment, moment by moment, from the inside…trusting what you feel over what the others think.
Going back to my earlier question and answer, “When does a hunter stop hunting his or her prey? When the prey is caught.” When your prey is being cured of Parkinson’s, then you need to be committed to the hunt. You need to commit to yourself that you will be hunting your prey fearlessly, without regret, without shame or blame or self-criticism, without worrying what do your symptoms mean, without worrying what the other people are thinking…but instead, absolutely with full faith and trust in the Recipe, in your Higher Power, and in yourself to see the hunt through to the end!
And when will that end occur? When it occurs! Faith says that you do not have to concern yourself with this question because you know your cure will occur when the time is right.
Faith. Your real question is “what am I doing right here, right now, in this moment, to help me achieve my cure.” The Recipe is a soul, mind, and body roadmap to your cure. Open your heart and let your dopamine flow by being kind and compassionate to yourself and others as you choose to live your life, not live your symptoms. Calm your mind by choosing to tell yourself that whatever is happening in this moment is necessary in your life and your Parkinson’s cure, so instead of being afraid or angry or frustrated, you welcome it because it is necessary in your journey. Heal your soul, mind, and body by choosing to do all of the parts of the Recipe.
Faith. Knowing you will be cured. Knowing you are worth it!
Yes, my friends, I have faith in all of you.
You are worth it!!!
All my best,
Howard
Yes, Faith is unshakeable force to kin with since it is only your self belief of Faith in Almighty that what is happening is alright. Do your good deed earnestly and time would come for good.
Excellent, Howard. Thank you.
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things unseen.”
Great post, Howard. Einstein said “A problem can’t be solved by the same level of consciousness that created it.” And Tosha Silver states that she was a terrible worrier and made herself sick with fear. She finally developed a “God Box” She said you don’t need a clear concept of God to do this. Into the box she put (in writing) the worries and fears that came up. Do this for 21 days with the same worry. Studies show that the mind will make a change after that long.
I haven’t tried it yet but having something concrete, for me, will help!! Tosha Silver also stated that over time we start trusting the process and the details of the solution are irrelevant. What matters is offering the problem with a sincere, consistent heart.
It is hard to shift our consciousness when every day our symptoms are right there in our face, and I feel that Howard is so right about not worrying about when the healing will occur, just be sure that it will happen!
Love and light,
Lohren
Beautiful!
Thank your sharing ideas from Tosha Silber.
I love this : “What matters is offering the problem with a sincere, consistent heart”.
Thanks Marie. I forgot to add that when an issue comes up in your mind again to recall that it is in the box and already taken care of!! In other words it’s done.
Lohren
We always are astonished how you find the right explanation what is going on in the mind!!! Wonderful, always explained very clear, we only have to follow as you are THE EXAMPLE to know, that recovery is possible!!! Thanks!!! 👍🌺
This is my first blog as I’m just starting out on the “Recipe”, already I am inspired and humbled, thank you Howard. You can heal yourself and I can heal myself and together we can help others to heal themselves! Your website and resources are a true inspiration, thank you.
This is wonderful! Thanks, Howard!
Thanks Howard! Your blog came at the perfect time. I have been struggling with fear for a long time. I am going to read this blog over and over to help me stop chasing my fears.
I have not had the chance to check in on the blog for awhile, and today was the perfect time to drop in: Moving beyond fear was a huge factor in recovery for me.
Until the time when I found Howard and the Recipe for Recovery, I was truly desperate and hopeless. I did not believe there was any chance that I could cure myself. I believed I had an incurable disease.
Once I was introduced to Howard and his own cure I can only describe it as a new world opening, since it was that enormous a shift. Suddenly there was hope. I began to think and deeply feel that if Howard could do this, why couldn’t I? I had real conviction, and that conviction drove me to commit completely to healing myself. How Howard arrived at the belief that he could cure himself without having anyone tell him that it was possible amazes me! I had Howard to point out the way and to show with his own example that it really was possible.
When I started looking at my own life, it was obvious that when I felt more fear my tremors got worse. I loved the metaphor of “tuning out FEAR on my heart radio” and used that a lot!
You have Howard and others of us who have successfully followed the Recipe for Recovery to our own total freedom from Parkinson’s. Fear did motivate me early on; but from Howard I learned that fear could not deliver me to the destination I was trying to reach. I had to drop my fear and travel in faith and confidence.
Wishing you well on your own journey to complete recovery,
Marie
Fear is easy to acquire, hard to live with, and even harder to conquer. But with blogs like this and your persistent help, it can be done. And I will do it!
Thanks Howard.

Fantastic Howard, thank you.
I am breaking up with fear. It’s been a bad relationship.
Check out this fear. Break up song https://youtu.be/H0wpP5o7xpI
Love and blessings to all
P.S. I am recovering from P.D.
Hello everyone. This is also my first post.
I first saw signs of symptoms in Feb 2018, found this website about 2-3 months ago. Not only has the recipe given me hope and improved my symptoms, but thank you Howard for your wise words, advice and direction. Because of this website, I don’t really have any conscious fears of this disease at this point. I’m just very focused on what I can to not let it take me down.
I do, however, frequently have terrible fears at work – not being good enough, getting fired/being out of work, making mistakes, having something go terribly wrong, etc. My job is by its nature very stressful with a very heavy workload and the chance to make lots of mistakes. It’s very exhausting, and the chatter in my head doesn’t help. In fact, usually when it spins out of control, it makes my recovery very challenging. It sets off the rush of adrenaline that takes me down for the day, and then I do fear losing the progress I have made. Subsequently I have to focus my energy on bringing myself back down to earth rather than on healing.
But reading the post did put a new perspective on my fears. They’re only thoughts, not reality, and once I learn how, I hope to let them go as quickly as they appeared. And I am going to try the God Box. That’s a great idea!
Thank you all for being the community that I hope I can be a part of, since nobody else in my life really can relate to this challenge. And I hope I didn’t chatter on inappropriately here!
D.
Thanks Howard.
I’ve read this several times since you posted it. Every time something different jumps out at me.
Thanks, Dave
Hi All,
Johnny, Jan, and Midwest David, welcome to the blog! We all are happy you are here. To everybody posting comments, thank you. To those following the blog even if you are not posting comments, thank you as well. It is great having all of you here.
Now, all together, take a big inhale. On the exhale, see the word fear in front of your face. As you push out a long, smooth exhale, watch the fear get further and further away from you until it simply dissipates into vapor.
The more you do this, the more you let go of fear.
Have a beautiful weekend!
With gratitude, love, and blessings,
Howard
A wonderful blog Howard. You are a guiding light!
Thank you Howard for a great blog. I believe God will heal me in His time. In the meantime I know I need to do my part and just place my trust in Him. People come into our lives at a certain time to teach us more about ourselves. And Howard you have come into our lives for a reason. With each blog I discover more about myself. Thank you.
Love and blessings
Veronica 🌱🌺
