What a fantastic story!! Praise God for those who study to help others improve their life. What a TRUE BLESSING 🙌

[@janetpattison8474]

This is incredibly good news! And I need to comment that there’s a great interview on KZbin of a PD patient, an older guy who had advanced problems bc of the disease, after many years, he was declining a lot. So he went on a keto diet, as an experiment, and found that he got better and better, and better, reversing the neurological damage, and is now 90 or 95% improved!!!. It’s very very hopeful news! And I hope every person who is suffering w/ PD finds the story on YT.

[@sitncrochet101]

So change in diet can really help wow

The surgery can now be done while asleep. Both electrodes can be implanted in a single surgery in cases and sometimes even the generator. Also it is being done much earlier in the persons progression to give better benefits.

For those of you wondering. Del Maxson died January 25, 2015 at the age of 68 from a “lengthy illness”. There’s no mention of Parkinson’s in his obituary. Also the family “request memorial donations be made to a canine rescue and humane society.” Maybe I’m just reading too much into this but if this was such a great thing for him and his family don’t you think it would have been mentioned in the obituary and donations be made to medical “stuff”? Again I’m probably reading too much into it…. This is just sad though. I really want to believe this worked for him.

[@Peacock__]

You're reading way too much into this. It's just a medical procedure.

Thank you Doctors

[@JulieR73]

Lost my mom 6 years ago to a 21 year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. The Dyskinesia was brutal as were the Requip and Carbo/Levo. The problem with the surgery is that it’s a bandage and doesn’t cure the disease and eventually the issues come back. The memory goes even with the surgery. A temporary fix.

[@ohgawd]

Are you talking about this surgery? Thank you.

My husband was misdiagnosed with PD. He has essential tremors. My advice is simple: Get a second opinion or even a third or fourth one. My husband was on carbadopa/levodopa for over a year all the while never actually having PD. The second neurologist we found ordered a DatScan which confirmed that he had been misdiagnosed. Upon further research I discovered that the percentage of misdiagnosis of PD is 30%!!

[@philochristos]

If your husband's problem wasn't Parkinson's did they figure out what the problem was?

Wow what a life changing procedure. Has Michael J Fox had this procedure? I haven’t heard him speak about it, and if he hasn’t I wonder why?

[@jeshkam]

I thought of him right away.

[@Helen-sound]

I think a lot of people went there as he’s such an advocate for making society aware of the disease . It would be great if he did get the opportunity to have this operation and give hope to other sufferers .

[@lyndagibson9699]

Michael says he doesn’t want this. When asked why he responds “It’s brain surgery!”

[@powerWithinUs4055]

Looking around, I see that there is assistive device for cerebral palsy people….a pull on sleeve for arms and legs to curb spasticity. It’s not only here, it’s BEEN here. As we go ga-ga over these things……..remember we lost the super computer because Senators Obstruction wouldn’t fund, went to other countries instead. Stem cell research quashed same reason. Senator No said no. We are far behind where we should be because of the pharmaceutical-industrial complex.

[@Victor_Romero]

I was going to ask the same question. I mean, come on, look at the difference, it is a miracle and MJF should see at Steve Jobs’ story and try to avoid bad decisions. With all due respect.

[@SafiaSabir-z6f]

Plz tell how much total cost of ths operation

[@bobthrasher8226]

Parkinson's sufferers are benefiting from vitamin B1 therapy. See the book "Parkinson's and the B1 Therapy" - I would suggest giving this a good try before embarking on pharmaceutical route. But be patient because this approach requires it as the book states.

[@a.lesterbuckiii4319]

Here in Houston, eight years ago I made a new friend with Parkinson's as I would drive her to doctors appointments and Parkinson's seminars and events. Carolyn had a DBS when I first met her, and her tremors were well under control for the entire time I knew her. One time while she was still living alone, her DBS battery lost its regular recharge and she ended up in the hospital until the technician showed up and reset her software. She was jerking so much in those few hours, so unhappy, she said if she stays this way she just wants to be dead. The most unbelievable thing I learned from attending multiple Parkinson's lectures and product shows by the DBS companies: Of all the Parkinson's patients that are candidates for DBS, only 10% agree to get it. Yes, you read that right. The average Parkinson's patient is just too intimidated by the procedure to have it done. That is the saddest thing about Parkinson's disease today.

[@Newstatejournal1]

Excellent!

[@kentfonda8245]

Incredible... but no mention of cost of surgery, etc. Guessing it's for the ultra rich only?

[@lyndagibson9699]

Medicare covers this

[@beeyourbest6675]

Would this work for Michael J. Fox?

[@JulieEdward-th7hg]

So you either stimulate deep brain, or superficial skin - both locations work. I'd opt for the vibrating Parkinson's gloves first. What's happening with them anyway? Are they available yet?

We had both had a back injury as a child and flipped over backwards 3 times as an adult. But I'm a quad because no doctor will touch me because Researchers say it is not a bad injury.

[@ohgawd]
