    Excellent presentation on the atrophy of the vagus nerve and the role of gut health connection to brain health. Good work.

    Thanks Melissa. Unfortunately the volume on our system is too low to be audible and we were wondering if the volume could be increased from your end? Heather Webster

      Hi Heather, unfortunately our video player has set parameters. Perhaps you could plug in some headphones to improve your sound?

    Very informative and comprehensive presentation, thank you. I see some reference to electrical stimulation – do you have any experience with the use of laser light therapy on gut health/the microbiome (e.g. Symbyx hand-held device) ?

    Reiterate John’ comment, highly informative and comprehensive presentation, thank you. I found a lot of relevant information regarding my Parkinson’s symptoms/problems. Melissa Is it possible to get a copy of his presentation?

    Excellent presentation, very informative and helpful for management of my own on/off issues with my medication. Would also like to download a copy of the presentation for my GP and current specialist as well as myself.

    Nearly had me in tears to see the results for the dyskinesia patient.

    Brilliant presentation. So informative. I would also like to understand more on his experience (if any) with laser therapy (eg Symbyx) and also more explanation on the vitamin C and carbonated water aiding l-dopa absorption. Thank you very much for a great talk.

Tracker

Tracker

The tracker is designed to help you track the amount of time you spend in scheduled exercise each day. Scheduled exercise is activity you have prioritised in your day for health and to help slow your Parkinson’s down. This might include PD Warrior exercise, fast walking, golfing, going to the gym etc. It does not include incidental activity such as housework & gardening (although we hope this increases too). The aim of the tracker is to help you build an exercise habit and to keep you accountable, so try and enter something each day.
At the end of the 10 Week Challenge you can download and review your overall performance.
