Atlas (c-1) vertebrae subluxation can attribute to PD, this vertebra can slow the flow of spinal fluid from the brain and metabolites can build up

I agree simply because I have Parkinson's and every day is different.

I am a little hard of hearing but I can not fully understand what the person is saying 😢, I really wanted to listen to this video. Is there a “written” copy of this video available?

Do you know what would be great? Covering some tips on how to talk to a practitioner who doesn’t believe that your individual collection of symptomology could point to Parkinson’s. As we know, general practitioners are trained to see the body as different parts and not hole so trying to connect the dots when talking to a practitioner is a lot of work on the patient’s behalf. Some tips would be great on how to create a dialogue that results in an effective plan moving forward

You lost me at, “ there is no pain involved with Parkinson’s “… there is in fact much pain involved!

[gregorybalchunas]

Thank you ❤️ God 🙏 bless you all caregivers and hospitals, it's hard to get Parkinson's medication here in Colombia, but the weather is very nice for Parkinson's not too hot not too cold, do you guys know anywhere to get Carbidopa and leave a dopa here in Colombia

A giant professionally run organization like AARP should have closed captions or the video transcript available. Shame on you!
