American Parkinson Disease Association

This was great, I have been researching for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across binehealthcenter. com PD-5 Programme (just google it). It is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing Parkinson’s disease completely. Ive heard some decent things about it and my HWP got amazing success with it.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 63. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability,My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing and soft voice. I also had difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and then Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. During the summer of 2021, I was introduced to Health Herbs Clinic and their effective Parkinson’s herbal protocol. This protocol relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. Visit www . healthherbsclinic . com. After First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone. I live a more productive life. I was fortunate to have the loving support of my husband and family. I make it a point to appreciate every day!

Around age 60 I noticed that my handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster. I also noticed a small tremor in my right hand. The doctor went over my different symptoms and he suspected I’d either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson ‘s disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing I was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 4 years ago. I took Sinimet four times a day to control my symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech, A year ago, I began to do a lot of research and came across Kycuyu Health Clinic (www. kycuyuhealthclinic. com) and their Parkinson’s HERBAL TREATMENT. After seeing positive reviews from other patients, I quickly started on the treatment, I experienced significant reduction/decline in major symptoms, including tremors, muscle weakness, speech problems, difficulty swallowing, balance problems, chronic fatigue and others, The truth is you can get off the drugs and help yourself by trying natural methods, i live symptoms free.

the idea of the foundation is great.. HOWEVER THE CUSTOMER SERVICE STAFF ARE UNTRAINED AND DISCOURTEOUS.....GIVE CANNED ANSWERS AND UNWILLING TO RESEARCH INFO ON DONATIONS MADE.....IN OTHERWORDS IF IT IS CLOSE TO BREAK TIME OR REQUIRES EFFORT DON'T BOTHER THEM.....AND THEY HANG UP

I was diagnosed with Parkinson Disease on September 11, 2008. I immediately was notified of APDA by my Neurologist, and I started right away to benefit by the organization. APDA provided me with more than enough literature educating me about the disease, and giving me suggestions on how I could cope with the disease. APDA has several local support groups in the St. Louis area, and I have attended a weekly exercise program offered free of charge by APDA. The support group also meets once a month, and when possible a medically trained professional will speak to us about Parkinson Disease and what we can do to live with the disease. Luncheons and banquets are provided free of charge at various times during the year, and once or twice during the year a PD specialist will speak to us at a forum.

We are support groups leaders for two support groups in MO. We could not do it without APDA St. Louis. We regularly refer members to the resource/information center for guidance and resources to deal with this destructive disease. The national nature of the organization gives us assurance that wherever we go we can count on help when we need it.

The APDA has been most helpful to myself and my family when my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. They provide literature, programs and emotional support in dealing with a complicated illness. I was impressed enough with the organization to become a part of it and facilitate one of their support group, and have been for 13 years.

I have seen first-hand the impact this organization has had on people living with Parkinson's. I've talked with patients who have directly benefitted from their exercise classes, support groups and referral services. The amount of literature and knowledge on the disease at the chapters is astounding. I would definitely encourage anyone who is diagnosed with Parkinson's to contact one of their local chapters and take advantage of their services. If you have the means, it's definitely worth giving to this cause.

APDA has amazing free educational publications. I have been very impressed with their Center for Advanced Research. The people are so caring and helpful. They will even help you find a physical therapist or caregiver. It is a fantastic organization!!

I found APDA to be most helpful in answering my questions about my disease, in aiding me to find doctors and with the programs offered to aid me in keeping mobile, alert and functional. The personnel at the Center for Advanced Research at the University of Virginia has been especially knowledgeable, sympathetic and beneficial.

Poorly lead national leadership. Local chapters are independently run and are led by competent local leaders. Unfortunately, the local chapters are required to provide "tribute" of 80% of their fundraising donations to the national office. What do local chapters receive in return? A slowly degenerating nationally recognized name without leadership. The Board and national office requires a shake-up. (Comments reflect national organization based in Staten Island).
