Parkinson's and Any non-medicine treatments.

Posted by kristin428 @kristin428, Sep 28 8:52pm

My PT told me this morning that he has had some Parkinson's patients that are using things from health stores, but he couldn't remember what they were. Does anyone have any ideas? He thought one of them started with a B. I have very recently been diagnosed with PD (3 months) although looking back, I think I have had it for several years.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

@itsdave I do feel that it was going to be helpful. Quieter. Most people would not notice.

Hubby has had PD since 2024. I purchased the Beech Band and he used it for the 1st time yesterday while I was having cancer surgery. He noticed he was walking better and less tremors. I noticed this morning he is speaking better and not fumbling his words. He wore it all day until it needed charging. Coming from the UK, it took about 2 weeks to get this product. That is pretty quick considering all the current Customs protocols. Product appears to be working fine too. Honestly, I was shocked how quickly the band has worked. I wasn't sure if it would work at all, but for the reasonable rate of 75.00 + shipping, it appears to be worth it. Just wanted to pass it along. Will keep you updated on his experience with the Beech Band.

Yes sorry it’s not working. Hopefully your replacement comes soon.
The buzzing is not bad. I’ve noticed that the better it’s sitting against my skin the quieter it is. So more flat against my arm.
I am fortunate to be part of the percentage where it worked right away for me.
There is a large percentage that it takes longer.
I do believe it’s “tricking” the brain and maybe some need more conditioning time
Prayers for both of you
