Yes. That's the abstract that I reprinted. I read the original full article and found that the guy practiced Kundalini yoga (intense meditation on a single word) for 40 years.Doubt that too many others with PD have 40 years available to start this practice, even should it really work (by theoretically increasing blood flow to the area of the brain called the putamen, a structure at the base of the forebrain involved in dopamine regulation and planning of voluntary movements)...

I don't even hope to get an endorphin rush from exercise. If I do, it's gravy. I treat it like brushing teeth, like taking my medication. It's good for me, so I just do it. I'm lucky that I am wired that way. Not everyone is. But, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, if John is dealing with depression, I hope that he's getting treatment for it. It's part of the package that often comes with PD, but that doesn't mean it can't be treated.

re @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member 's comment about a 'cure' : Yes, I believe that there will be treatment/symptom management progress. But a cure? Nah. Just like hoping for a cure for 'cancer.' It's not one thing, so IMHO,there won't be 'a' cure. Hope I'm wrong.

Yes, lots of people have fully or partially recovered - you can find them in many places online - on my Out-Thinking Parkinson's website I created a "Parkinson's Recovery Library" which provides lists of all the people I have found who have done it. I have reproduced this here. This is for info only and is not advice or recommendations:

First is Bianca Molle's book on how she recovered using relaxing movement exercises and meditation techniques - and how she helps people with Parkinson's to recover.

Bianca can be found in the "Parkinson's Healing" Facebook Group, where recovering and recovered people freely share their stories and help each other progress. The leading light of the group is Paul Davis, who I wrote about in my article
Paul Davis: Parkinson's Healer

Another book, which we covered in more detail in
"Goodbye Parkinson's, Hello Life!" by Alex Kerten and David Brinn

details how Alex uses a combination of music and dance while addressing mental and emotional wellbeing to start people on the road to recovery.

John Coleman recovered 100% when he was 52. He now provides a 12 point plan which mirrors our own journey of self-discovery which we're documenting here. John's site is:

The important work of Janice Walton-Hadlock is not to be missed. While framed in Eastern medicine, the new scientific realizations she provides are very interesting. She has written hundreds of pages on these subjects and helped countless people with Parkinsonism's back to wellness. Her website is

http://pdrecovery.org/

from which you can download her free full length books, which should be seen as simply indispensable for anyone affected by Parkinson's. Highly recommended are:

http://pdrecovery.org/once-upon-a-pill/

which gives the shocking facts about Parkinson's medicines and

http://pdrecovery.org/recovery-from-parkinsons/

which gives a whole new perspective, back by research and evidence.

Richard London is not only living drug free from Parkinson's - and reports further improvements as time progresses - but also beat cancer. He uses diet, positive thinking techniques and martial arts to maintain his health and has lived well without Parkinson's drugs over the years. Richard was the subject of my article
Richard London: Living Well with Parkinson's

and his website can be found at

Colin Potter also recovered fully and he lives drug free through addressing diet and environment factors. His website can be found at

http://www.fight-parkinsons.org/

John Pepper has also recovered and is living free from drugs now. His story can be found in a book and on his website
