Jodi Knapp''s Parkinson's protocol? i
Neuropathy | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (4)Comment receiving replies
As someone who has lived with Parkinson's for 12 years, I found the Protocol's dietary, exercise, and other suggestions helpful. My experience is that faithfully applying the practices in the Protocol may help slow disease progression. But these practices cannot stop the progression of PD altogether, and the Protocol should not claim otherwise.
Friends in Alcoholics Anonymous pray for the "serenity to accept what we cannot change, the courage to change what we can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I think this also applies to those of us with PD. May we have the courage to do our best in slowing disease progression. And may we have the serenity to accept that PD remains a progressive illness.

Wise words! You may note that I suggested that if she wanted to give it a try, that it be in combination with traditional medicine.
More people would feel better, and possibly slow the progress of many incurable conditions and diseases by following a good diet, getting enough exercise, reducing stress, getting healthy sleep, and getting PT or counseling as needed.
Unfortunately, at least most Americans are conditioned to want an instant cure that doesn't require effort on their part. A pill, a potion, a light, an operation - without weeks or months of PT, changing one's diet or habits.
Kudos to you for finding and following the protocol! I hope it continues to slow your disease progression. I have a family member with PD - he and his wife who are currently working very hard to keep him as healthy and active as possible -he had to give up his bikes (motorized and not) so they got matching 3 wheel bikes to keep exercising together.
