All I want for Christmas is a cure for Parkinson's.
I have been thinking about an appropriate message that is relevant for Christmas and Parkinson's.
The most obvious link is that it is a very stressful time with too much food and drink. I know I face a couple of weeks of feeling slightly bilious all the time, no doubt Parkies will derail me as well - stress and parkies aren't great bedfellows.
Let's face it the whole run up is pretty ghastly - particularly when the Christmas favourites play list seems to be on everywhere. Buying presents is almost impossible as everyone has everything.
There's a load of stuff happening in the world right now, as we know well enough: the cost of living crisis and how that juxtaposes with the groaning tables of festive fayre in the supermarket adverts. And the hoardes of shoppers in central London salivating over all the luxury goods.
Perhaps a wider piece about war, peace on earth, the recovery from the pandemic, the economy, homelessness and climate change. All such critical issues in the world that we all need to be engaged in, however I didn't want to be a scrooge like figure, or holier than thou.
Christmas is a lovely time to hunker down with friends and family and have some R&R and reflect on our times before plunging back into the new year and the bleak mid winter.
All the while remembering what it is all about: feasting, drinking, watching TV of course.
And the birth of Jesus.
I don't think he'd mind us taking a moment to breathe, relax and enjoy a celebratory feast.
As an aside, I was supposed to be born on Christmas Day, but was induced so I didn't spoil the festivities. If I had been on time who knows how history might have turned out.
I will be toasting the birth of Jesus with a delicious Martini, shaken (obviously) and not stirred.
Have a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
Thanks to Ian Skelton for the special effects on the martini glass
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve…
I am a medical doctor from the United States. At the age of 52, I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a Cytocidal Viral Infection, exhibiting Cytopathic Effects (CPE). These conditions abruptly ended my medical career and drastically affected my quality of life. Despite undergoing extensive treatments and therapies, none proved effective, and my symptoms only worsened over time, often accompanied by severe pain. However, everything changed when my daughter discovered a holistic practitioner, Dr. Madida Sam, from www.earthcureherbalclinic.com. She ordered the FND and CPE treatment protocol for me, and I followed the doctor's instructions carefully. To my amazement, my symptoms began to subside significantly, and within three months, both my FND and CPE were completely reversed. As…
I'm thrilled to share this! I recently discovered the Earthcure Herbal Clinic(www.earthcureherbalclinic.com) and never imagined the impact it would have on my family. Thanks to their natural remedies, my dad has fully recovered from Parkinson's disease, and I’ve successfully reversed my obesity and lost a significant amount of weight. I’m incredibly thankful to Dr. Madida Sam on Youtube and the entire Earthcure herbal clinic's teams for helping us reclaim our health.
I battled advanced Parkinson’s disease for 8 years, starting at age 56. My symptoms included tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and severe balance issues. Despite trying many conventional treatments, nothing brought lasting relief. Then I discovered the P-D treatment program from Dr. Madida Sam at Earth Cure Herbal Clinic. I found their contact at www.earthcureherbalclinic.com and reached out via email at info@earthcureherbalclinic.com. Within 6 months of starting the program, my symptoms were completely gone, something I never thought possible. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Madida Sam and his team for helping me regain my life. If you're struggling with chronic illness and looking for an alternative approach, I highly recommend giving this a try. It truly changed everything for me.
Thank you for reminding me what this holiday can be. The idea of R&R sounds so enticing, I hope to be able to get pass the frenzy at the start and get to the calm part soon.
