Archery and Parkinson's
Just before Christmas, Don and I were at Cabela's (one of Don's favorite hangouts) when Don decided to try out one of their youth bows to see if he could pull a 15 lb. bow and maybe be able to try target shooting again. When he enrolled at Cal State LA, low those many years ago, he found that he needed a 1 credit class. He saw some people out on an athletic field who were shooting bows at targets and he asked if this was a class...the coach told him that it was a team, but if he could shoot well enough he could sign-up for the team and receive 1 credit for participating on the team. That sounded like fun to him, and since he had done some bow hunting, he tried out and became a member of the team. So, you see, archery was like anold friend that Don hadn't seen for awhile.
We bought him the 15 lb. youth bow and some arrows and he started going to the indoor range that is near our home. By mid-January it was evident that he was getting strong enough that he needed to get another bow...this time a 25 lb. recurve. Don has been going to the indoor range and shooting from his wheelchair about 3 times a week; he's made lots of friends and since I can drop him off and know that there are people around him who care and will remind him of medication times and be there to help if he needs it, I have 2-3 hours to myself; without worry. And Don will be picking up his old college bow (a 30 lb.er) next week. Archery has strengthened his right arm and given him friends; a challenge and something to look forward to having fun. Archery has beed good for both of us!! Sure beats using Thera-Bands and an upside down patio table to shoot day-old-bread balls to the ducks!!
SERIOUSLY...here's proof...

I developed transverse meyltis and wound up with a lesion on my cervical spinal cord resulting in a tremor in my left arm and numbness in the right hand. I am restarting archery after about 43 years. I can agree, the excercise does help.
ReplyDeleteI was suffering from Parkinson's since 2014 & life had become disastrous for me,75 % of my body was covered by Tremors.After taking product from www .multivitamincare .org under supervision of Dr. Casey, I started getting results within 3 weeks of their dosage .One day I got extremely sick, could not keep anything down, difficulty standing, restless sleep,Started taking this remedies twice daily. I am writing this to inform others that nothing was really working to help my PD other than this product.I went off my previous medications (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on their Parkinson’s disease herbal formula.Treatment went very well and tremors are gone.

With the new herbal medicine for Parkinson I purchased from Multivitamincare . org was my only way to get rid of my PD,the herbal formula effectively reversed my condition and alleviated all my symptoms, people are suffering from this Parkinson disease due to lack of information.

I did not believe him and I keep my faith up hoping that one day I will be cured from this horrible disease. Early 2022 my daughter saw a post on the parkinson's Blog forum about a herbal doctor called Dr. CHRIST on how he cures people from diseases with his herbs and I quickly contacted Dr. Christ in his email and WhatsApp number he provided and explained my problem to him, he told me not to worry that he is going to cure me , Truly he prepared the cure medicine and sent it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to take it . After two weeks of taking Dr . Christ herbal medication, I went to my doctor for a checkup and my results showed negative and my doctor told me that there's no trace of parkinson's in my body and the disease completely gone from my body, Everybody at the clinic rejoice with me and they all ask for Dr. Christ contact information, l also shared it with them .

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2017. After running around from doctor to doctor for a solution and cures, I finally got rid of Parkinson's disease at the age of 40yrs. My wife noticed that my handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster as well . She also noticed a small tremor in my left hand .My doctor went over my body for different symptoms and he suspected I either had a small stroke or the beginning of Parkinson's disease . After findings a neurologist and some test, my daughter went into online and search for solution and medication of Parkinson's and dementia disease in BLOGS, Engine and News , she met with a comment and testimonies of Mrs. Donna Mitchell of how doctor CHRIST cure Parkinson's , dementia, stroke, and other illness with his herbal medicine. I decided to give a trial to his herbal supplements and truly I appreciate doctor CHRIST for making his herbal medicine to cure me and other PARKINSON'S patients and stroke diagnosis . which it could have brought me down.

ReplyDeletethank you Dr. Christ for saving my mom during the year she was suffering for Parkinson's disease for the past 4years. She was 69yrs old when she diagnosed Parkinson's disease and I never knew one day that my mom will be fined for her life again till when Dr. Christ stood for her with his rehab medication. She was married to my loving Dad for over 40yrs and we have been living a happy life. My mom was a caregiver to to her dad before she diagnosed Parkinson's till the passing away of her dad after 66yrs of his age. It was heartbreaking my dad seeing her loving wife going through the same illness which took her dad away, very anxious and depressed, she do forget everything that happened in the past, sometimes she finds it so difficult to converse fluently. All these things make me go crazy. My sister was reading and watching videos about the treatment for Parkinson's on the internet in 2021 he met with so many testimonials about Dr. Christ and his herbal supplements which he uses for curing different diseases including Dementia. My Dad contacted him and explained my mom condition to him. He assured my dad that his wife will get well with his natural herbs again so my dad ordered the herbs which were delivered to us here in Switzerland 5days later. After one month of using these herbal supplements of doctor CHRIST we began to see some improvements, on my mom's health and Now she is totally healed from Parkinson's disease after 9months of using the medication now my mom is living her best life again. If you have a loved one suffering for Parkinson's and Dementia Disease you can contact Dr. CHRIST via drchristnicolas@gmail.com or via WhatsApp number +393510275722 . He is there to help you for all kind of disease treatment
