Innovative Therapies for Parkinson's: Light Therapy and Ketone Ester
I think these two therapies might actually offer the boost that people need, which means that, instead of being in a place where you're at the medication maximum it may be- and I'm using the word. May we have no evidence about this, but my hope is that using the ketone approach and the light therapy approach, or perhaps both of them together, your medications will continue to be effective.
Imagine finding new ways to manage Parkinson's symptoms that are both innovative and promising. In this episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief', Robert Rodgers, PhD, shares his enthusiasm for two groundbreaking therapies introduced in 2017: light therapy and ketone ester. Light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses low-level light to stimulate cellular healing. It's shown potential in reducing symptoms like brain fog and memory issues. Although the therapy is FDA-approved, the cost might be a consideration for some.
The second therapy, ketone ester, helps the body produce ketones, which serve as an alternative fuel for the brain. This approach stems from research by Dr. Richard Veach at the National Institute of Health. Rodgers even brings in Bill Curtis to discuss his personal experience with ketone ester and its impact on his Parkinson's symptoms. However, it's important to remember that these treatments may not work for everyone and their effects can be temporary.
Rodgers emphasizes the importance of consulting with a healthcare professional before trying any new therapy. This episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone affected by Parkinson's, offering hope through innovative solutions.
