Parkinson’s and Mitochondrial Failure And Related Alternative Treatments

Parkinson’s and Mitochondrial Failure And Related Alternative Treatments My mom now has congestive heart failure plus her Parkinson’s – the doc said it was mild and could be treated. Please pray for her. This week she must endure several test that sound laborious if not- down right dangerous to someone in her condition, and if it were up to her and me-we would try to strengthen her before taking the tests but there is a tension from the family to act now with standard of care so she will submit. In one test she will stand until she passes out- in another test they will give her drugs to put stress on her heart- neither of these test sound like they could be good for a person in a weakened condition- has the world gone MAD? I found this interesting article about Parkinson’s and my 1st quote talks about how this doc is suspicious that the dopamine drug accelerates PD Dr Sarah Myhill “I’m also suspicious that taking dopamine agonists accelerates the progression of PD because it makes the ...

Intro

I am a retired banker- after a very short career that lasted maybe 8 years at the most. I retired to be a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) and then homeschooled my kids in their later years. I didn't even know homeschool exsisted or what it was until my oldest was in the 5th grade. It was illegal then and the court case in Detroit began to become public right around that time, as well. The court case I believe was foundational in homeschool becoming legal across the nation! I am now an empty-nester, both my homeschooled students went on to college- one to Michigan State and another to Freed-Hardeman University. They both have done very well in college. Homeschool prepares students well in that much of their work in homeschool is self-directed (lots of reading!) and there is less spoon feeding at the university level so there you go! My children and mother have had health problems which turned my interests to health and nutrition. We now have a cow-share and drink raw-milk and make k...
