Thank you. Answered many questions I had.
This was very informative . Thank you .

👏👏👏so much wisdom
Wonderful class
Excellent presentation that makes “executive function” so easy to understand - even if the patient is diagnosed with something other than PD. Thank you!
Wow this is very interesting topic. Thank you so much.

How do I get the slides??
Parkinson disease is a very terrible illness, my Dad suffered from it for 19 years until we finally got a help and a medicine that truly works that helped treat, cure and reversed all his symptoms••My Dad is completely okay and healthy now..
Wow! Such good information for people with Parkinson's Disease and their families. Thank you!
More medication is not acceptable. There has to be better alternatives.
I agree. I believe that the idea of excessive prescription use is leading to higher death rates and higher crime/ psychological risk factors. Look at what's happening. Something is way off- This idea of overmedicated people is leading to a underperforming economy, society, home life, work life, even school systems failures.
10 years with parkinson,take 8 meds a day my probrem is that st night l get cramps they are so bad,they last 4 hours at night l cant sleep,any adice please
Excellent lecture on PD, Thank you very much

Chuck what a great man. Rest in pest

Having been diagnosed with PD more than 4 years ago I would certainly agree that the non-motor symptoms are much worse than the stiffness and shuffling. I was amazed to learn how many non-motor symptoms there are you can feel like you're drowning sometimes because there are so many of them. This had a great info
Hello there i am going through the video. I have an issue since puberty mostly and now i am of age 28. My issue is every muscle in my body is slowed and very tight when performing any instant action. My body takes usually 10-20 seconds to make my muscles move smoothly. This often causes me to not move my body in emergency and in such instances my body freezes. I would like to understand more about this issue as it is effecting my way of life. Any recommendations on how i should look into this issue would be great. I remember being diagnosed during an ECG With something called a Thompsons diseases.

Love this description" I think of dopamine as the popular kid who got all the attention...but maybe are we looking under the wrong lamp post? I always found the person sitting on the back porch at the party more interesting... And so on... "We are looking at urine and hair samples on MRI - inside of your mitochondria - to understand energy production ....and then training a truffle hunting dog breed from Italy to detect PD via ear wax. Bravo Dr Mischley for all this great work. We would love you to trial infrared laser on the gut for Parkinsons as this has been shown to reduce PD symptoms by stimulating the cell mitochondria and digestion, gut-brain axis, absorption of Levodopa also.
Dr Mischley is doing some exciting and fantastic research on Parkinsons. One trial published showed "that a plant- and fish-based diet is associated with the lowest PD severity score. Fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, nuts and seeds, fish, olive oil, wine, coconut oil, fresh herbs, and the use of spices were all associated with statistically significant lower rates of disease progression."

Stay Away From All Shots!
Interesting!
Super webinar thanks for raising awareness
Very inspiring. I saw the video at the Vivid Dreams exhibition in London today and then found it later on CZcams. The puppets are amazing, as is Rob D'Arc for his positivity. Good luck with the research.
I always wondered why these guys rocked trident seafood hats and shirts. Now I know. Wasnt because they were paid to, It's because they want to represent Chucks company. Pretty freakin cool story, Im glad I clicked it.
Good one.
Thanks!
This is great! I hope you're able to manage the Parkinson's for a long time to come.
I walk in memory of my Dad and to support Parkinson's research and education. Thanks to everyone who supports APDA. I hope everyday we are closer to finding a cure.
Excellent presentation. I'm unable to locate the slides can you direct me?
An amazing and moving piece ... Thank you Rob for sharing so transparently and your positive puppeteering spin on your diagnosis. Love your spirit my friend!
Thanks, Chuck! Miss you, man...
good luck old friend
GodSpeed on your recovery and movement forward. My mother had Parkinson's so I can relate.
Very inspiring. I'm professional puppeteer but nothing on this scale ! Used puppetry as therapy etc but not Parkinsons ...the ultimate challenge! Well done.Good luck 💕❤️💕
I think I'm with you Rob XXX
