Glen Pettibone's Ingenious Approach to Parkinson's Relief
I think for people starting, if you can adopt some dietary approaches, if you can get out and exercise quite a bit, feel the value of sunlight on your face and take all the recommended supplements and take melatonin, especially if you're taking any kind of sleep aid to get to sleep.
What would you do if conventional treatments just weren't working? Glen Pettibone faced this exact dilemma after his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2011. By 2013, he was grappling with severe symptoms and intolerable side effects from medications. Doctors suggested Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, but Glen wasn't convinced by its high risks and marginal results. Instead, he decided to take matters into his own hands, drawing on his scientific and engineering background.
Glen dove into research, reading every paper he could find on Parkinson's relief. He crafted a unique diet that included Solanaceous vegetables like eggplant juice, green tomatoes, and peppers, along with other nutrient-dense foods. Inspired by Dr. Mischley's book, he added more elements to his regimen and began intranasal glutathione under her care. Astonishingly, Glen managed to reduce his Parkinson's medication by over 93%.
He also saw improvements in other health areas, curing his acid reflux, asthma, allergies, and even regaining color vision and hearing acuity. Glen's story is a testament to the power of persistence and innovation in the face of adversity. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on managing Parkinson's, this episode offers a wealth of insights and hope.
