Every day life can be a struggle when you are diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease.
As you may know, Parkinsons results from damage to the nerve cells that produce dopamine, a chemical that is vital for the smooth control of muscles and movement,
Symptoms such as tremors, muscles stiffness, slowing of movement and speech impairment, can all make living a normal life quite frustrating and mentally exhausting.
Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Parkinsons, so it is essential that you find a treatment that helps you to manage your symptoms.
Meet Margaret.
Margaret was diagnosed with Parkinsons at the age of 75. Daily life became a struggle for her as she found it difficult to complete simple tasks like carrying her groceries.
She even lost her sense of smell; another symptom of Parkinsons.
In a 12 week trial at the Hospital Research Foundation Group in Adelaide, Doctors tested the effects of infrared light therapy on the heads and abdomens of patients. Margaret was fortunate enough to participate in this trial and after just 6 weeks of treatment, she regained her sense of smell. The tremors in her hands decreased and she was amazed at the difference infrared light had made to her body.
In fact, most patients saw improvements in their Parkinson’s, including gait, balance, cognition and fine motor skills. Infra-red light therapy works on the mitochondria of cells to increase energy production, improve blood flow to neurons and works to help our genes assist the brain in repairing itself.
Now Margaret can go out into her beautiful garden and enjoy her roses once more, which she has dearly missed. “You’re not really living if you don’t do new things, or if you curtail things because you’re afraid. I think the infra-red light therapy has helped me so much in that regard,” Margaret says proudly.
Infra-red light therapy is a non-intrusive, comfortable treatment with zero side effects, and the results found were astounding.
