Having observed him for a number of years I believe John Pepper did not have Parkinsons. He had essential tremor; he did not have a resting tremor but an action tremor. He became so convinced of his own story that he did two world tours telling people that drugs are not necessary, fast walking is the answer. He has never been able to produce the study he quotes. I don't think he has seen a paper on it; he attended a presentation at the first Parkinson's congress and the review of that presentation is what he quotes as evidence. His story has changed and evolved over the years. What is true is that he was removed from his position as chair of Parkinsons South Africa because the neurologists did not believe him, instead thought he was using his position to promote his book. He did not take levadopa for any length of time because it did not help. The drug he took the longest was selegiline which I think for him worked as an anti-depression med more than a PD med. He had been going to the gym for an hour a day for many years and increased it to 90 mins a day but stopped because he was not getting any better. On the insistence of his wife he joined her weight loss, walking group. At the time this all happened he was depressed. His business was not doing well. He resigned. With the absence of stress and the addition of an anti depressant and regular exercise (walking) he got better. When he asked the last neurologist he saw whether he had PD the specialist said you don't have idiopathic Parkinsons. John decided he had another type of Parkinsons though he didn't know what it was. He was so invested in his story that he made it real for himself and his many followers. You did well to be wary.

Perhaps vit b 1 and l glutamine also magnesium glycinate helps for restless legs all muscle needs that are robbed by this disease 😊

I did not respond to levidopa so I doubt I have PD. But what difference does it make what the disease is or is not, if there is no cure?

Thanks for this great video! A few months ago a neurologist diagnosed me with early onset dementia - I had just turned 55, but I've had some symptoms for awhile now, mostly what my husband has noticed. Recently the neurologist is talking about it possibly being LBD because other tests came back negative. Instead of visual hallucinations, I have olfactory hallucinations, which we told her in the beginning, but she's not discovering. Also I have Rem sleep disorder, but again, I've had that a couple of years. They've scheduled a neuropsych test for me in February. How does a neuropsych test diagnose LBD?

I have this condition, after about 2 years from diagnosis, especially when going outside in cold weather.

Is there anything you can do for burning mouth due to parkinson?

Which magnesium is best for PD tremors please?

I’d love to hear. NPH and Parkinsonism compared. Dignosed w NPH because of falls incontinence memory and gait. Then Dr told me to also check into PD My MDS said not Parkinson’s but need genetic test ! I first started falling backwards about 10 years ago damaged my spine hit my head. I’m sure… but still can’t get a definite answer. I did have the surgery for NPH, but I’m still having all the symptoms and even worse my short-term memory has completely gone! I’m 77 and hope to stay with my grandchildren a little longer.. but this is not a good way to live ,,: Always fatigued, no energy apathy depressed. have major depressive disorder. Just so ready to give up

Thank you, Dr. Hyland. This is very beneficial information. I appreciate and thank you. I've shared it on my community page. I hope all are doing well. 🧡🦋✨

Wow, I did not know that all those symptoms are typical for Parkinson.. very crucial info

Glad I found you. My husband diagnosed with parkinsons about a year ago. Doctor currently has him on 2mg. of ropinirole twice daily. Had a bad reaction to levadopa! He is on about 3 anti-depressants a day for many years which I wonder if it causes parkinsons symptoms. Any help or suggestions would help me alot. Im under alot of stress. Thank you!

Hello! I’m learning more about Parkinson’s… my dad had stage 4 Parkinson’s dementia and I am taking care of my father. Thank you for sharing information

My husband has Parkinson’s and has a runny nose for the past 25days. How can we treat this?

Does rhinnorea affect your health in any way?

I have been taking vitamin B1 (Benfotiami) and B6 in the same tablet (Miligama) for almost half a year, both 100 mg each, and I have not noticed any problems. According to research by the famous Mayo Clinic, a harmful dose of vitamin B6 is more than 1000 mg per day for at least one year. P. S. In the meantime, my Reynold's syndrome has disappeared, which used to cause me serious problems every years. So my fingers are nice and healthy this winter

Yes I have PD and a constant runny nose that at times flows not drips. Doctors used to say it was because I was on Lisinapril but I've now been off it 3+ years and it hasn't stopped. Doctors now say "well yes most likely from PD".

Doctor which vitamin is good for brain I mean main vitamin for brain vitamin that only works important for brain

No

Thank you for the generous discount offer. I sent you a dm. Plz, know how much we appreciate you. I wish you and all a good rest of your day.

No!

Running nose is usually just a histamine response from your body trying to eliminate a toxin. Clear mucus is most likely environmental and cloudy is something you consumed. May not be Parkinsons at all. Of course check with a doctor to verify.

I've had to do my housework with a tissue in one hand for years. It is so irritating. I always thought it was due to sinuses and wondered why antihistamines didn't help though they do help with my autoimmune diseases. I've been diagnosed with Parkinson's for 25 years but the runny nose only started about 6 years ago.

My neurologist just recently prescribed magnesium glycinate. Haven’t started it yet. Will let you know. This is specifically for the treatment of dystonia in the feet.

Homeopathic remedy for runny nose in people about 50: Spigelia.

Good Info, but wouldn't MSA be included as an synucleinopathy and not a tauopathy? My wife was recently diagnosed with MSA and specifically had the skin biopsy which showed alpha-synuclein build-up. Thanks for the info!

I suffered from runny nose for as long as I can remember - well back into early childhood. I am 70 and my sense of smell works as well as ever, so I don't know if my case is the same as others with Parkinson's. Lately I have been excluding dairy, wheat and other gluten-containing grains from my diet, including oats. I simply eat either rice or potatoes for a starch or don't have any starch in my meals. My runny nose subsides after a few days but then if I eat out and have either wheat or dairy (hard to avoid) my runny nose comes back.

I have been dealing with Parkinson’s for over 15 years now. My original neurologist prescribed 25/100 levodop/carbidopa taken 1 pill three times a day. I did this for a while even though I had very light tremors. After much research, and attending a PD group, I noted that many PWPD take C/L to deal with lots of different symptoms, from fatigue to depression. And many neurologists are happy to up their dosage. After 15 years since an “official diagnosis” I only take levodopa about twice a week. One pill - 2-3 times per week. Exercise does much more for me and I don’t notice a great enough difference in symptoms after taking Levodopa to take it and risk dyskinesia. Great info and thank you so much. I have subscribed
