COINCIDENTAL ,WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE IN CONCIDENT. HE MAY BE RIGHT A THE RUDIMENTARY LEVEL. I HAVE SPINAL DAMMAGE IN THE AREA WHERE HE MENTIONED. WAS GOING TO A MASSAGE THERAPIST CONIDENTAL AND SHE SEEMED TO MASSAGE THE TREMMORS AND STIFFNESS AWAY FOR A FEW HOURS TO A FEW DAYS.GOOD FIND!

thanks yoohoosmrs, nice to know

I have C5 damage

well so far thats 2 out of 2 who have spinal damage. Interesting so far. I would be very curious of others that can identify with what this person said on youtube.

I also have a bit of trouble with my back, but have not had it examined to ascertain if i have damage in those areas

I so wish that pd had such a simple overlooked precurser.

I dream that neuorogists are so over trained that they have overlooked the obvious

Unfortunately Noel Batten continues to misquote medical authorities to support his outrageous claims of "cure". No authority claims "incurable atrophy" of the substantia nigra or myelin sheath to be the cause of PD or MS. The medical position is much more complex and variable than this. No authority claims to find lesions in the brain or CNS of those with PD. Dignositc procedures, while inadequate as I'm sure many of you know, are far more complex, thorugh and varied than Batten states.
While good breathing, muscle balance and spinal alignment is important for health, so is great nutrition, digestive function, immune function and, most importantly, healthy messages coming into our hypothalamus to relay health messages to cells.
Body work like Bowen, Craniosacral therapy, Osteopathy, Feldenkrais, massage and some (gentle) Chiropractic can certainly help relieve symptoms and be part of a package of activites that CAN lead to full recovery from both PD and MS. However, it is far from the whole answer, and must not be viewed as such.
I have worked with several of Noel Batten's ex-patients and I'm afraid he did more harm than good. This is unfortunate as, by working as part of a Complementary Medicine team, he could be a valuable part of a healing program.
All that being said, it may not be simple or easy, but we CAN reverse our symptoms and become well.
I hope everyone looks forward to 2009 with hope, happiness and unconditoonal love for themselves.

After getting what was them massive dammage to the spine Some good MD's told mme because I was so young how to tell the diffrence between a good MD and a bad one Some of what they told me that a good doctor will look at the obvious first so you are right. Secondly he will explain everything in language you can understand if not find another!

ps
three ways to get PD
gean pool
drug induced
accident//injury

I just watched the video and read some of the information on Noel Batten's website. It really reminded me of the channel on TV where they are trying to get you to buy things and when you buy them it is a waste of money. I realize it is good to keep an open mind but there is that saying "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". An Osteopath whom I have seen regulary (once or twice a year) for 14 years was the one who suggested that I may have PD and sent me to my GP to get checked out. If I had a misaligned spine, he would have found it. He did send me for an x-ray of my spine as well as an MRI and I do have "slight disc space narrowing at the C5-6 level" but other than that, there is no misalignment only muscle tension and rigidity. I am sure that there may be some people that this fellow helps, but I wonder if they really had PD in the first place as all he talks about is tremor and not all of the other symptoms.

I found the video interesting, thanks for sharing it. I have the theory that diseases like PD, MS and ALS and even Fibromyaligia and CFS are all due to some main blockage along the central nervous system (in spine or skull). The kind of blockage, then determines what the disease is. The spine can be blocked from genetics, learned behavior and body movement, traumas, muscle tension, - in many different ways. To see the tremors stop when the vertebrae are aligned makes perfect sense for me. The tremors themselves are the body trying to shake the spine back into alignment, wherever it is blocked. One can learn to give oneself acupressure and treat the whole spine and also the toes, and find out where one's spine might be blocked and also to treat oneself, thus it's not necessary to see a professional nor to pay money to do it. Using pressure with one's fingers on meridian acupoints (GV meridian), also opens up the nervous system channel, thus one doesn't need physical manipulation like chiro only to do it. The longer it's open, the more repairs happen along it, so also the more one does self-acupressure on these areas, then the more one helps the blocked nerve area to regenerate/strengthen.
Over time and with practise one can learn where in the body the blocks are, and then put a finger on either side of the block to help open it more. all can be learned how to do this from free internet informatoin. Yet, also i agree with another poster in this thread that healing is a whole process and not just doing one thing.

Well just another spin on this discussion, incase you are not aware of what i have been doing.

Yestban,, honestly i think you are on the right track!!

And Noel Batten, on youtube as advised above.

I purchased a zen chi machine for myself, on ebay, which apparently adds oxygen and helps with your spine if it is out of line.

Im a total sceptic for most things, but l have been on that machine for around 2 weeks now,,,, and tremors have lessened to a massive extent , lets say 90% less ,... WOW

Yes i still take medication, and will always, until hopefully i feel the need to lessen it . and then go off it , cured

My leg that was so so stiff, since before using this machine, now feels looser!

I very much believe that this is helping me, as i have done nothing else different in the lst two weeks .

but on the flip side, i remain wondering if it is just positive thinking....

For the moment, all im saying is that this seems to be working for me, and im happy
