It is easy to get lost in Parkinson’s disease. How do you find your way back home?
Parkinson’s is confusing…the disease is confusing, the medical profession saying they do not know what causes it is confusing, being told you can’t get better is scary but also confusing, and even holding out hope and faith that you are healing yourself still can be confusing. Sometimes you feel lost. How do you find your way back home?
When you are confronted with Parkinson’s, you can become scared and feel lost, much like how Dorothy felt when she landed in Oz. (For those of you who have not been following the blog for a while, I will occasionally draw references from Dorothy’s adventure). Parkinson’s disease is a strange territory outside your comfort zone and sometimes you can lose confidence in who you are and what you should do. So, what do you do?
When you are uncertain what to do, like Dorothy, you try to find a path with the faith and hope of finding the answers from somebody on, or at the end of, the path. Along her path, Dorothy asks a scarecrow with no brain what he thinks she should do, and Dorothy asks a tin man with no heart how she should feel, and Dorothy asks a lion with no courage how she should be brave on her journey. Clearly, she has lost confidence in herself…truly she is lost. She is so lost that she is even willing to take a ride from a complete stranger who is supposed to fly her back to twister-ridden Kansas using a hot air balloon.
So, how do you find our way back home? Doing the soul, mind, and body parts of the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®.
Glynda let Dorothy know that she had the power to find her way back home all along. She needed to open her heart and repeat: “there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home….” And, Dorothy found her way back home.
Now it is your turn. Let’s find your way back home!
When you finish reading this post, find a comfortable place to sit, set your timer for 5 minutes, and do the following:
1. Close your eyes.
2. Tilt your head back slightly.
3. Smile. (It helps open your heart. Also, when you smile into the world, the world smiles back into you).
4. Silently repeat, “I have the power to heal myself.” “There’s no place like home.” “I have the power to heal myself.” “There’s no place like home.” “I have the power to heal myself.” “There’s no place like home.” (Repeat until your timer goes off).
Look inside yourself and see your heart opening to the joy of life…the joy of being on the path to Parkinson’s recovery. It is true, home is where your heart is.
Look inside your heart and find your way back home.

I wanted to write something positive and encouraging. Here it goes:
I have experienced light symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, and I see improvement in my condition since I started Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery. Currently, the only symptom I experience is a rest tremor in my right hand. There have been moments when I was unaware of having this disease.
From a psychological and emotional standpoint, my fear of the disease has diminished significantly. In fact, I rarely think about it anymore, and I generally feel calm and composed. Even when a driver attempted to provoke me by honking loudly, I remained unaffected. My children have told me that I appear happier and calmer than before. This could be a result of daily meditation and qigong practice that I performed. I feel more alert than before and I seldom feel sleepy in the day.
There have also been noticeable changes in my body. The most significant change is related to my bowel movements. I no longer spend as much time as I used to struggling with constipation. I now only spend 10-15 minutes in the restroom, compared to the previous 30-45 minutes. Although occasional episodes of constipation still occur, they are becoming less frequent. This improvement has boosted my confidence and has allowed me to have an improved appetite. I have become less strict with my dietary choices, although I still avoid coffee, tea, alcohol, fried, oily, spicy, and processed foods. I remain a vegetarian who occasionally eats eggs. I continue to have daily bowel movements, and the bloated feeling I used to experience has disappeared. Additionally, I am pleased to report that my sleep quality has significantly improved. I easily fall asleep and have adopted an earlier bedtime, usually around 8-9 pm. Despite sleeping in an air-conditioned room, I no longer experience the cold limbs I used to have. In fact, I even perspire when practicing qigong and meditation in the room.
Regarding my tremor, I have noticed that my right arm swings more naturally now when I walk, which makes the tremor less noticeable. When the tremor developed in March, it primarily affected my fingers, especially the last two fingers. However, it seems that things have changed recently. Yesterday, my wife observed that my tremor appeared to originate from my wrist rather than my fingers, and I had also been noticing it. When I was meditating at 4 am this morning, it felt as though the tremor had completely subsided. However, the tremor came back the moment I got out of the state.
I am dedicated to following my daily Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery until I fully recover. Since I started, I have not missed a single day. In fact, I have even added a time slot in the afternoon to practice Medical Qigong for the Liver and Medical Qigong sound for calming the liver. Additionally, I faithfully meditate every day. I have a dream – the day when my neurologist announces to me that I am free from Parkinson’s disease. It will be such a remarkable day that I look forward to.
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. You have no idea how much this means for my husband and I. Many blessings to you and your family.
Cheers to healing!!
Thank you Cathy for your kind message. We are on this path towards recovery. And we all need encouragement. Howard has given us hope, so let’s each work on our path and encourage each other along the way.
Hi Weng,
Congratulations! This is AWESOME news. Very positive and very inspiring for everyone! Sounds like 99.99% recovery to me! Your dedication has paid off!
Thank you for sharing your story.
Hi Margaret,
I appreciate your kind words. Overcoming my struggle with constipation was a major accomplishment that truly boosted my confidence. We are all making progress on our respective journeys; the key is to maintain forward momentum. Let’s continue moving ahead with determination.
Today, I had an appointment with my neurologist. Reluctantly, I went to see him because I couldn’t see the point, considering he had already informed me that Parkinson’s disease (PD) is incurable. I doubted that any medication he could provide would be beneficial for me, and I was concerned that he might discourage me or instill unnecessary fears. Thankfully, I had a conversation with Howard before the appointment, and his advice helped alleviate some of my concerns.
During the visit, he reviewed the results of my MRI and assured me that there were no apparent issues with my brain, such as bleeding or stroke. However, it is important to note that an MRI cannot definitively confirm the absence of PD; it only rules out other possibilities and aids in reaching a diagnosis.
The blood test results also came back positive for my health, indicating no cause for concern.
The appointment concluded with the doctor suggesting a prescription to help control my tremor, but I politely declined. I am determined to confront my condition without the use of medication.
Absolutely!
I agree and here’s to continued health and happiness for you and all of us!!

I feel happier, stronger. This week I’ve had 7 people tell me I look much better than I did a year ago. To enhance it, I bought a beautiful summer dress.
Thank you for your support, I’m glad I’m not the only one who believes in healing.
