WOW! It is the 5th-year anniversary of Elaine J. becoming symptom free. How inspiring is that! Five years ago today, I wrote the blog post entitled, “Fighting Parkinson’s, and Elaine J. is symptom free!”
CONGRATULATIONS, ELAINE!!! You became symptom free from Parkinson’s and we are celebrating today the 5th year of that momentous occasion. Good for you!
Back in March of 2020, Elaine had an incredible breakthrough in her recovery and shared it with all of you in the blog comments:

Yes Howard, I AM WORTH IT! and thank you for giving me the confidence to believe it and to live it. My choice has been to do your “Recipe” every day – mind, soul and body and to believe, right to the core of my being that the PD symptoms that were paralyzing in life could be eliminated. Eight (short) months ago I began this journey with you and I’m living virtually symptom free now. A small tremor in one hand is the last vestige of this beast and it too will be tamed – I have no doubt.
Probably the greatest gift you’ve given is in guiding and “giving permission” to LOVE MYSELF. And I do! It makes all the difference : – )
And so my journey continues, a little lighter and with a smile that’s a little broader. I’ll continue the Recipe every day, just because I love it and I will live my life to the fullest with love and compassion for all those around me.
Anyone thinking of doing the Recipe?? Just BELIEVE and DO IT! It will give you the tools you need to come to peace with your body, mind and soul and overcome PD.
Love, hope and peace to you all.
Elaine”
Please take note of the importance of the self-love aspect of this recovery from Parkinson’s. In Elaine’s words: “Probably the greatest gift you’ve given is in guiding and “giving permission” to LOVE MYSELF. And I do! It makes all the difference : – )”
Over the years, I have expressed to all of you that after my full recovery, I stopped doing the physical part of the Recipe, but the lessons learned in the emotional and spiritual healing parts of the Recipe that helped bring about my full recovery continue to be practiced as a healthy way to live life.
Recently, I reached out to Elaine and asked how she was doing and if she would mind if I wrote a blog post regarding her 5th-year anniversary. Also, I asked if there were any continuing lessons in her life that she would like to share to help inspire all of you.
In responding to me, she shared some of the same sentiments as I have shared regarding the continuing emotional and spiritual healing.
Here is some of what she wrote to me on the topic and as lessons for you:
“I am very well and live my life to the fullest. PD can be a sinister disease if you let it take hold and it can be a friend if you don’t.”
“Focus on the importance of letting your mind know that you [the soul] are the boss and it just better figure out how to get done what you want to do. Don’t take no for an answer.”
These are very helpful lessons from Elaine, so please take them to heart.
And, in conclusion, she had these words to say:
“I am well and I love life. I look forward to each day with enthusiasm. I’m more than happy if you’re able to write a positive blog that will help another person. It is definitely one’s attitude that makes the difference.”
Thank you, Elaine, for sharing your wisdom and for continuing to help our worldwide community of courageous warriors.
CONGRATULATIONS, ELAINE!!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY YOU BECAME SYMPTOM FREE 5 YEARS AGO!!!
Who’s next? What are you waiting for? Grab on to the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery and keep your recovery going strong!
I hope that you will join me in wishing Elaine happy anniversary by posting a comment below.

All my best,
Howard
Happy anniversary Elaine, I am highly encouraged, and as I write this I have a huge smile on my face. This message could not have come at a better time.
Thank you so much Howard for your continued support and encouragement. I am a lot more sociable and walk with a lot of confidence knowing I am the cure. I also concur with Elaine’s sentiments on being positive and letting your mind know you are in charge, this is just a blip. This is definitely an imbalance being balanced again soul, mind and body.
I am the cure, I am worth it.
Happy 5th anniversary Elaine. Thank you for your positive words of encouragement. We are all worth it and we are recovery!!
Thank you Howard.

Your words are affirming the journey we are all on: Loving ourselves unconditionally!
It sinks in deeper and deeper every day, until one day, soon, it would become a fully lived reality!
Thanks for leading the way, Elaine, and Thank you deeply, Howard, for Being You!
Sincerest Congratulations to you, Elaine! I pray daily for the strength it takes me to stick to the recipe. You are spot on when you say that “it’s definitely one’s attitude that makes the difference.” My daily struggle is exactly that, but I continue to work the mind and spirit. I can’t wait to be fully recovered! Your success fills me with hope!

Happy 5TH anniversary Elaine! We can all use a little self-love.
Elaine, it is a tremendous achievement to become symptom free…just think of alternative. PD does not hold our soul, we do. Congratulations and enjoy!
I am always inspired to read the testimony of somebody who has recovered from Parkinson’s. It is proof that we can all be healed. It is so important to keep a check on our thoughts and not be sabotaged by negative thinking. Congratulations Elaine.
Congratulations, Elaine! Thank you for taking the time and compassion to share your words of encouragement with us. It’s such a blessing to be reminded that we are our own cure and that loving ourselves is crucial. An assertive attitude lets our egos know our souls are in charge of our lives, that taking no for an answer is never an option.
These thoughts you’ve shared are stepping stones to our own recoveries. Thank you once again!
Congratulations Elaine on your 5th anniversary recovery from PD!!!
Your recovery is an inspiration to all us on this journey of recovery from PD.

Thank you for sharing! We are all worthy of being healed!!!
Thank you Howard for the inspiration!
Congratulations Elaine! What a champion you are!
This reminder comes for me at a time of passing through and out the other side of a dark tunnel.
The dark tunnel came about due to a bout of flu that really knocked me out of the park.
Increased symptoms, loss of confidence, love, compassion, questioning of my worth and a series bad days with a lion chasing me, that have now resolved. Why ……..
Under Howards guidance, we established that there was nothing actually wrong with me! Yes Nothing!
Also, the LOVE I now have for myself knowing that I don’t have to do anything or be anything, but just BE, is sending me once again on my healing journey.
I love Elaine’s focus on LOVE as this is truely the essence I think that is the path to recovery.
Love to all you beautiful beings
Dear Elaine, I’m waving over and am proud of you and all the other healed fighters. You are my role model and for me there are no doubts, because you are here. I met my mother during a meditation as a child. (My dear mother died last year). She was lying in the grass, chewing on a blade of grass and wanted to show me something. But I didn’t see anything. She said: it’s all so simple! That’s it, it should feel easy, it really is that simple. Feeling this lightness, being there with your heart and not losing faith, that is my essence. I wish you all to find the right path. Every path is different. Sometimes the path is the destination. Thank you Howard for your recipe. Your exercises make me feel alive.
Congratulations Elaine,
You are a shining light and a true warrior.
Burn bright for many more years.
Happy Anniversary! The day your new life started! Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us!
God bless you!!!
Happy fifth anniversary Elaine!
It’s such an inspiration to hear your story and the importance of self love. I do the recipe daily and hold a strong belief that I am recovering from Parkinson’s. Diagnosed two years ago, I have moved from feeling like a sick person to having a lightness of being with many symptoms disappearing.
Attitude and conviction are truly important components for me as it sounds like they were for you. My heart also remains open now with the confidence that I am being helped by a higher source. I feel I am able to surrender now to my own healing, my own self-worth, and a higher power.
Thank you for the inspiration! Thank you to Howard for all the support and thank you to this community. We bolster each other up in our belief that recovery is not only possible but eminent when we connect to our souls.
Congratulations Elaine and thank you for sharing your insights!
Wonderful Elaine! Thank you for your example!! I’m looking forward to getting there. God continues to bless you!
Congratulations Elaine!
Thank you so much for taking time to share with us. You are a shining example of the power of gratitude. You are a true inspiration!
Heartiest congratulations Elaine! Your success inspires all of us.
Thank you Howard for being the prime-mover behind this success!
