Savita,
My father suffered from Parkinson's disease for over 10 years before he passed away in 1992. Unfortunately there is no cure for this disease. But medicines are available that will reduce it's severity and may be slow down it's progression. Which part of the body is affected more? In my father's case legs were affected more compared to hands. Encourage him to do light stretching exercises. Take him for short walks. If he can do Pranayam (Ramdev's regime of six).
encourage him to practice every day. Play some soothing music for him. All these things will have positive effects on his general health & may slow down deterioration. Medicines have severe side effects-hallucinations. Pranayam may help with that. In any case it would not hurt him. But let him start slowly &
no exertion
I can feel your pain because I have passed through that. There is simply no medication that will cure the disease. One more thing dose of medicines is very
important. My experience was that slight amount of overdosing will cause him many problems. Where your father lives - in India?
Tulu

Subject: [AlternativeAnswers] Please help, My father has Parkinsons. Please help
Dear AlternativeAnswers members. Please help me if you can. Hello my name is Savita Agrawal. I have just become a member of AlternativeAnswers family.
Please members of Alternatve memembers, I beg you in the name of the person you love the most, please,please help me if you can. My father has parkinsions disease, and he is just beginning to lose his cognitive ablilities. I truly belive that the drugs he has been taking for 2 years has done nothing for him, but made him worst. I am sure there is no cure for parkinsons disease. All I am hoping for, and praying everyday for is to slow the progression of this disease down. I have done research, and I have found that 2 supplements glutathione, and coenzyme Q10 are effective in treating parkinsons disease. I will soon purchase them. I beg of you, please if you know of any other product, any supplement, any herb that you feel can effect a positive effect on a Parkinsons patient, please for goodness sake, please share it with me. If you have personal experience of a supplement/herb/ or anything that has gotten positive results that you have experience
personally or have heard of that when given to a parkinsons patient effected that patient in a postive way please, please share your story with me. I am despartely trying to find something to help my father(in terms of his ability to communicate, and his memory etc).
I would give anything to be able to slow this disease down. I can never imagine not being able to have a conversation with my father. I know this is life, and most likely some chronic degenerative disease will claim unfortunaltely most of us, I am just trying to delay it as long as I can for my father. Again, I beg you, if you have anything that you feel can help a parkinsons patient please, please share it with me. I will be grateful for your insight, or any information that can lead me to a solution that may be able to help my father. Thank you. Savita Agrawal
