Michael J Fox is a good person. He is wealthy and could just sit in his mansion but he doesn't. He goes out and cares about other people. I think this disease has helped to show us the real Michael J Fox.
yeah he really cares about other people
He's one of the most well known actors of our time. Big respect to him for not taking his diagnosis and hiding away but using his status and being proud of who he is in order to raise more awareness for this condition.
He's not just "proud" and "raising awareness". He actually uses his fortune to seek for the cure. That's the difference between building your reputation and actually doing something.
The worst things bring out the best in certain people.
Yes he is, my heart all broken seeing people suffer
I wish we lived in a world without diseases. 😔
And virus’!
and bad people and abusing animals
And fake friends and fake love
and Bullying jealousy
Only if we lived for GOD and not sin or materialism
Michael J Fox of one of the rare celebrities that is truly deserving of admiration.
Every once in a while there is a person who reminds us that it is possible for someone to act with courage and generosity in the face of a real crisis. The world is a far better place because Michael J. Fox is a part of it. We have much to learn from his example. We all have at least one reason to be grateful. Thank you, Michael.
I agree, and Fox has done an amazing job pulling through with his Parkinsons and in helping others, ever since he first started his Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinsons over 20 years ago. Those with Parkinsons everywhere have had more hope as a result.

I have Parkinson's disease. It has changed my life in many ways. I'm not able to think, work, eat or play sports like I used to. But my ability to appreciate life and to love and help others is increasing. Thanks Michael for helping.
My old friend Joe told me something that still sticks with me this day. Any time I'm having a bad day, or thinking my life sucks, I always think back to what he said to me. "Tony, just when you think your life is bad, just remember, someone else out there has it worse." Your worst life could be another's fairytale. I also wish we lived in a world without diseases or ailments. 😔
It a very beautiful thing to see myself healthy again after using remedy from Dr Ake on CZcams, I finally got cured of my Parkinson's disease with his herbs med and I can tell how great my health has turned out so far.
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
The final days of someone with Parkinson’s for me as a neurophysiologist has left the most impact on my heart. I’ve had patients in their 80s who physically cannot be in a bed. Truly a horrific disease and I’m so proud of Michael for all he has done to advocate. Love to all who get diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
How far do you think we are from a cure?
My mother in law has stage 4 PIGD parkinson form, its been very sad and painfull for all. She Is trapped in her own body. I hope she will rest soon.
@elisapena1023 sounds just like my dad. A horrific disease. Prayers for your mum in law and family.
Hi Michael,
Parkinson's took my dad's life a week and a half ago, he got it at age 50 and he was 81 when he died, it was really bad 😕
You are doing a great job being an advocate for this terrible disease.
You are my inspiration.
I hope you are doing ok
Sending hugs from Adelaide Sth Australia xoxo 💜 💖 💙
Oh and his dad and brother also had it too, but i have my fingers crossed that us, his children don't get it 😢
JAINE CHAPMAN We're very sorry to hear about your dad, Jaine.
Thank you so much xx
JAINE CHAPMAN oh God ! i never thought it could this bad ?! i...thought it has medications ?!
They do take meds for it hun, but it can still progress unfortunately xoxo 💜
Never ever take your health for granted.
These people are all soo strong.
Michael JF, is beyond a man with Parkinson’s Disease. He is a special humanitarian giving so much of his personal efforts, and time to assist those going through this devastating disease. I am amazed by his unique courage.
Do you think he could be faking it, for the publicity? He is a good Actor afterall
This video was made 8 years ago and if you see Michael J Fox today his Parkinson's have gotten alot worse with the tremors . I feel so badly for all who have this disease GOD BLESS!!!
He's had it for 22 years when this documentary was filmed. That was 8 years ago. He's much worse now.
@@user-lz9ef9yy3gwtf .
You're one reason, why I believe in humanity, Michael J Fox. I just love you!!
Michael has been wonderful in teaching the world about Parkinson's and having it accepted. He has done SO well.
That is right. Fox launching his Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinsons over 20 years ago has made the world a better place for those who have it. All the money which has been donated to his foundation over the years has gone towards many ways of researching and developing education, treatments, and support networks for those with the condition
Yes he is a wonderful man god bless him
Michael J. Fox is my true inspiration. He is the best there is. He is changing many lives with this disease. People who are idiotic on making fun of him are cruel and uneducated. It makes me upset to see rude comments.
Michael J. Fox, you are brilliant and fantastic.
Michael, I was diagnosed aproximately 3 days ago with Parkinson's disease. I will be very honest with you, it is very difficult for me to realize I have this disease. There are so many things that I wish, want to do in the future. Your honesty, dedication, as well as perseverance in fighting this disease is inspirational to me. I mean that very sincerely. I've just had my second grandchild, and look so forward to spending quality time with them. Please keep posting updates on the progress of this fight against the disease. I greatly appreciate all that you are doing and wish you and your family nothing but love and prayers. Thank you so very much! Thank-you.

Have you ever tried mucuna pruriens powder ?
The hardest thing is accepting you have it

All praise be to God who tests his slaves in many ways.
Alhamdulillah
Ok but this almost made me cry. I think the biggest takeaway for me is to always have gratitude for where you're at, and to make the most of what you have, whether you're healthy, have Parkinson's, or some other challenge in your life. In the end we all face death, we need to live while we're here. Wishing all of these people the best.
My Grandad had Parkinson's, he was 58 but by the end he looked 80, I was only 9 and didn't understand the disease it scared me . Rip Grandad. And keep fighting all of you xxxxxxx
My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2011 when he was 45. He said it was a relief when he finally had is diagnosis, it was an answer to his struggles he’d had over the past decade. What’s especially sad about his story though is that he’s a musician. He started playing guitar as a teenager and formed a band in college. He was the lead singer and songwriter, they’re band released an album, he played gigs often. He started getting symptoms in his 30s, until eventually he couldn’t play anymore. What a heartbreaking thing, to have your passion taken away like that.
He’s about to turn 53. He still struggles with Parkinson’s, but he has a medication routine that works for him. He got the band back together again, they’re playing shows regularly and are also in the studio working on recording they’re second album, fulfilling his life long dream of producing a vinyl. I’ve never seen him so happy. I’m so proud of my father.
He even has a CZcams channel where you can see his story as a musician with Parkinson’s, called Drew Abides

Thank you for sharing your father's story. I was diagnosed last year at 45 and one of the things I fear most is not being able to do the things I love...running, painting/drawing...It is inspiring and motivating to hear that your dad is playing music again. I hope the same goes for me, that the medicine works and I can keep on doing what I love.
I am a lucky one. Made it to 75 and have just some tremors, left hand. I can control them if I try. I have a brother 9 years older with PD. He is my window to my future. I am along for the ride and determined to make the most of it. Thank you for the video!
Just saw Michael's documentary STILL... it's a beautiful story about a beautiful person. And incredible community of people.
I'm pleading everywhere that other steam networks pock it up. Maybe then, someone would look at my daughter twitching this way
Yes it is. Michael J Fox has done an amazing job handling his Parkinsons and how he's reached out to those everywhere about it, since he initially launched his Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinsons 20 years ago
@Amy Stone I wish you the best of luck. I hope you and your daughter get the help you need. Fox has done great job in helping others ever since he first launched his MJF Foundation for Parkinsons
Michael J Fox looks better lately
Only thing I slightly regret about this video is that since Michael is such a legend, all these people had to be high profile people (pharma executives, physicists, artists yada yada) so it's not representative of what normal people with financial struggles go through when they have to deal with Parkinson's, but apart from that it was still a very good insight, and a very raw and efficient documentary. Thank you guys.
Totally agree.
Excellent point....
To see him here, 8 years ago, to see him recently (5-2023), his Parkinson's has advanced a lot, but the man still has his humor about him and it will be a very sad day when we lose the best thing that's ever happened to the 80's all the way to today.....
Michael, if you read this, know that I am praying for you every day, may God show mercy on you and everyone that suffers from this awful disease, Amen
Absolutely. Michael J Fox, and Dick Van Dyke. Two hollywood legends, who will break the hearts of many, once they're both gone from this earth. God bless them both, truly. 💖🙂
My father died January 25 this year. To watch the way he slowly lost his movement left haunting memories in me as a kid and teenager. No one should have to watch their loved one lose control the way my father did. Heck, just watching this video make me choke up because of the way they're all moving. It was just like my dads movement when I was a kid. I'm heartbroken that he won't be able to see my kids and be a grandpa (I'm only 23) but I'll be sure to let them know what an amazing dad he was before and during his struggle with Parkinson's.
My dad was 37 whenever he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. He's 43 now and its really showing now. Its comforting to know that there are/were people who have and still do go through the same things as me. Yet I wish no one would have to go through it.
You do that dear. 👍
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry brother or sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for the privalidge to send good vibes, as well as great wishes your way....

My mother passed about 6 months ago with Parkinson's. Here I am continuing her legacy.
I live in the UK, am 42 and was diagnosed with a Dystonic tremor in my left hand 4 years ago, since then the tremor has spread to my right leg. This feels like such a lonely condition, no one can really understand but a fellow sufferer. The life I took for granted suddenly changed beyond recognition. I've cried, I've yelled. I've been afraid and I've been stubborn. I've wanted to get out there and at the same time curl up and not face the world. Thank you Michael J Fox for being so honest and brave in telling the world about your condition. For starting your foundation, working tirelessly to find a cure and spread awareness and understanding. You have made a huge difference to the world, to the lives of every one of your fellow sufferers.
It's ok brother....May God help u.... May Allah help u...

You have fought a great fight. My prayer for you now is that you allow God your Father to take over your fight and go for the win. God's blessings always through his Son Jesus.
Christine Bourke ,
Good grief, such a rote religious attitude is so annoying. Haven't the sick suffered enough already without having to listen to this kind of reply? And the Lord His Father (sic) **gave ** each sufferer the disease as the unquestionable Part of His Plan, so what's the point of praying to Him to go... "ooops, sorry, I guess I boo-booed, better undo this guy's disease; but you know, the next guy I give it to is REALLY gonna cop it"...
The whole notion of religious mumbo jumbo makes a mockery of suffering, and a mockery of being human. I lose my temper with people who keep asking "why me?". Hell's bells, why *not* me? It's disease we should loathe and kick in the teeth, with a fix, not a prayer. Or else next you'll be saying medicine itself is against God's Plan. Gawd !! Please stop.
Either help the sick with something that works, or at least don't hinder, by LOSING THE PAP. Thank you.
@@MsLizziebeth1 praying helps a lot
The world is truly a better place because Michael is part of it🥰
Be patient one day we will find the solution to put an end to that disease , there's hope.... Mj fox is a true hero 😎

I remember seeing my uncle suffer from this disease and then he got alzheimers. sad to watch someone you love hurt like that. thank you Michael for helping others.
Booooo 👎🏾 to the negative comments I see 😾 I support people like Michael Fox. 👍🏾
I do not have Parkinson disease, but you all give me hope, I have a cardiac issue and I can't do everything I use to. It sucks, there are nights I am afraid I won't wake up, I was DX with the issue at 30 and I use to run 6 miles a day, now I can barely get out of bed at 33, you all give me courage to keep going with my medical issue and I thank you. I pray for a cure for you all, I will donate money as well for you all. Doctors told me to not worry and do not stress but I am like how do you expect me not to be stressed? YOU ALL DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
My grandma has parkinson she was changed when she got it one year ago. She is not any more the grandma who i haved. And i'm so inspired by michael j fox. He is a hero for me.
Oh, I am sad to hear your feelings. I have Parkinsonism and I know I'm not the same energetic grandma but I try to be. She's still your grandma 👵❤
As a person living with tremors, ticks, and other undiagnosed neurological problems, the doctors told me it would become Parkinson's disease later. I am grateful that I was able to find this video. I've never looked for videos on how other people deal with all of this. It's a struggle at times to know this will never go away. I tend to lay in bed and think it's all in my head. None the less, it doesn't stop.
Dios te de consuelo
Parkinson (+Depression) took my mothers life in November last year. My mom loved Back to the Future so much. As I was young, we loved to watch is together, it was so much fun. Yesterday I saw the first part of the movies again. To know, my mom is gone this disease still torments people all over the world… I have no words.
I apologize for spreading a bad mood. I just want to say thank you
for fighting for Parkinson-research! This is so important! Thank you in my name and thank you in the name of my mother. And thank you for being Marty ❤️🚗⚡💥God bless you and your family. Greetings from Germany
My dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons about 7 years ago. Not long after, my mum was diagnosed with Alzheimers.
These, in my opinion, are the two worst diseases in the world!
I'm so sad for Michael J Fox. He's still great though!
I hope so much for a cure for these cruel conditions!
I’m sorry to hear that. That must be so challenging for you and your parents. I hope you stay strong and have as much support as possible through all this.
MJF deserves the Nobel for Medical Research $1.5 billion dollars and going.
My mom was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. My dad tells me the news and immediately says proudly....."Michael J. Fox has it."
We grew up watching Back to the Future(s) on VHS until we wore the tapes out. Our one and only cat was named Marty. This past summer was spent perfecting dad's Doc Brown costume for Halloween.
Thank you, MJ Fox for everything you are doing with this disease. You are a true inspiration to my family and to the world of Parkinson's.
I used to love Michael J. Foxes movies, wish he hadn't got Parkinsons
How To Make Sushi I wish nobody would get Parkinson’s disease. My partner has it.
Why used. You should still love them :)

Its not horrible to have parkinsons it's just annoying
@@JaydenW27 you are annoying. what a stupid fucking comment, jesus...
My 88 year old mother has it. She's read just about every article Michael J. Fox wrote which helped her to understand a little bit better. As time passes I see it's taking a little more of her abilities of dexterity weekly. Michael please keep up the good fight, you are blessed to have so many who know your fighting for them!
God bless these people.
GOD bless them and help thrm get through...Amen. i could cry when i See this.
In Jesus name healing
Brilliant video. Thank you. I hope we find a cure one day.
+Hampe Mupp We will. We have to.
+Frederik Pedersen Eh.. no.
+Hampe Mupp Of course there has. It's the same cure for cancer AND most financial problems.
Kill all the victims. Think about it, it'll work.
Cutting dairy out of your diet can reduce your risk of parkinson's. If you already have it, it probably won't cure it, but it might make it better. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2232901/
nutritionfacts.org/2013/08/27/want-to-help-prevent-parkinsons-disease-avoid-this/
Still, no cure, so Frederik is wrong.
MJF is such an inspiration! Many celebrities would have sheltered themselves off from the world using their money, but Michael has transformed this disease into a mission of healing and connection. Absolutely beautiful video. Let’s hope the answers come soon!
When he talked about putting the cup on the saucer that reminded me so much of my Mom. She had one cup of coffee every morning all her life. I remember the first time I seen her hand shake with that cup. I knew right then something was wrong with my Mom. It's a sad disease. 😔
i was studying 2nd yr med,I watching this because I am reading parkinsons chapter.
And my heart is broken,why so cruel,i am crying right now, treatments written in books and we highlight and memories,but those stories really give u reality check.heartbreaking it is. I will study hard to get a seat in neurology specialization.
As a kid I remember telling my mom my hands are moving by there self,but this last year my legs and arms and hands just started shaking uncomfortable I told my son I think it's a seizure,I don't think it is seizure my uncle had Parkinson and I am having trimmers like he had please keep me in your prayers I'm a single mom of 5 two that are still in home the older ones are grown
How are you today??
Beautiful video, it breaks my heart that this disease exists.
Thank you for raising awareness and helping these people.
🤴🙆🏼♂️🧞♀️😀😀😀😋😇
Michael J Fox...you are truly an inspiration to us all. I admired you as a actor but I admire more you as a person. You are a fighter with courage and your will is truly amazing. Plus those who did this interview with Michael.
I lost my dad to Parkinson’s in Jan 2022. I have watched STILL a few times already….God Bless Michael J Fox. He is an amazing person
My dad has just been diagnosed. Day by day he feels a little bit worse. I feel terrible about this, it helped me to watch this video in a way.
horsepheus My dad was diagnosed a couple of months ago and it just breaks me to see him get worse everyday ;(
@@Epoor how is your dads
My Wife has this condition. Thankfully it is under control with meds. What helps is that she has early stages. My heart to anyone that has this. It really is heart wrenching.
My husband has Parkinson's and he is only 59 years old. The medicine he is on is so expensive. He just started on Neupro patch. I really hope it will help aid in his symptoms. He is very sensitive to medications and had a severe reaction to the last prescription the neurologist put him on. His health has really failed in the last 3 weeks in his motor skills. Yes, he and I both were in denial when the neurologist first diagnosed him this April. We are struggling right now. We are both Christians, so I do believe in prayer. We pray and we believe that God is in control of this disease. I too am learning. I am trying to access anything I can learn on Parkinson's to be a good caretaker to my husband. It hurts me to watch him go through all this. He is my soulmate and when he is struggling; I struggle. God Bless everyone that is going through this, because this is not an easy disease to deal with. This video was done very well.
make him smoke some weed you will damn sure get results
How is you hubby now? I believe God will heal him amen.
Trust in the Lord. Amen
Trust in the Lord.
My wonderful.oldest Son Chris Knause was diagnosed with Parkinson Disease 3 years ago. He has tremors, falls at times, has learned to walk backwards to refocus his stumbling. Don't know what to expect but have his back thru it all. He has 7 wonderful kids. And a supportive Family. Tired of people thinking he's drunk. saying he's lazy because he can't work because he can't walk for long time , his leg pains. Thank You Michael Fox for helping open my eyes to this tragic disease affecting alot of people.
Carole, I'm not sure if your still here but I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart for telling your sons symptoms. I'm 57 and have had leg pains severely for 6 yrs now and I too can't walk at times. I have to suddenly sit. Nobody accept for Henry on this site has confirmed leg pain as a symptom. My neurologist recently diagnosed me with Parkinsonism. I'm glad your son has support
I was diagnosed with Parkinsons last year at 52. I can relate totally. I always thought people just shake from it. I was wrong. I effects everything. Everything.
Yep!
Can you name others .. I'm looking at MS or Parkinson
Glad the foundation is still going strong after so many years. Michael J Fox has opened up our eyes to this condition. I had no idea so many suffer from it. I would like to see a video showing the treatment that is available and how it has made life easier for those with Parkinson's disease. I did come across a video revealing that some type of 'vegetable extract potion' increases mobility, but I'd like the Michael J Fox Foundation clarify that first.
Thank Michel j fox we all love you and miss you RIP

My great grandma's brother and my late aunt had the disease and one of my cousins has the disease and it's important to bring awareness to it.
Christopher Reeves and Michael J. Fox....God Bless.
Christopher reeves didn't die from Parkinson's he died from a fall off a horse
excellent video. i appreciated Parkinson's patients sharing their experiences with us.
Thank you MJF for all you have done, my dad had it for about 18 years before he eventually left this earth and you were mentioned by him numerous times. Like him, so many people have been impacted by your story and journey.
I have Parkinsons and I appreciate seeing others working through the effects and changes that it brings. It makes me feel hopeful and not alone. Thank you.

Henry, do you have leg pain with your Parkinson's?
@@toryberch yes I do.
@@henryrapoport8608 ty Henry for the quick reply. I'm sorry you suffer from this pain. I haven't found much first hand info on leg pain.
Is there anything that helps you? Norco doesn't do alot. Sinemet helps a bit but not much
@@toryberch if I stretch the legs out while laying flat they calm down after a while. I tried medications with no luck. Norco never works. I tried oxycodone but opiates don't work for this kind of pain. My doctor gave me gabapentin which I haven't tried yet so I am hoping.
Why does this have 100 dislikes I look up to Michael j fox and what he's doing
please people share this! lets create more awareness. Who knows if one of you're loved one in the future might be affected by this disease. Please, please, i beg you to share this.
My mother died at the age of 80. She was a Parkinson' s patient who lived for 20 years after diagnosed with the disease. Later on she found it difficult to swallow. God Bless u Michael for the good merits u are accumulating in this life through your foundation.
I'm going through what I think is a hard time in my life, I'm on the verge of losing my home through foreclosure and I have a major family issue that needs to be resolved in the worst way and a whole host of other issues that I consider major! How selfish, insensitive and heartless of me to feel this way. What I’m going through is NOTHING compared to what the people in this video are going through. My mother used to tell me “No matter how hard you think your life is, there are people that would trade places with you in a nanosecond.” A heartfelt thank you for SLAPPING me back into reality. I will do what I can to assist anyone with this horrible disease!
Michael, keep up the good fight. You are an inspiration and blessing to everyone. I have been afflicted for over 30 years from a head injury, I have nerve pain damage from neck to my scalp, soreness, numbness, and I suffer with migraines almost every day. Together we can all overcome the way we feel with positiveness in us and that’s what you do, you’re a shinning star 🌟
Thank you Michael for being strong about this and not just staying quiet, your using your experience to help other people and connect with them, I have hope that with all this that your doing there will be a cure.
These people are true heroes. Very grateful for Michael J Fox’s dedication to helping this
Michael J Fox is an amazing guy!! He has tried so hard to take the disease in his stride. He has used his fame as a platform to raise awareness and fund research for midicines etc to help pause or reverse the effects of the disease. Well done Michael we love you x x
God is always with us and one day everything will be ok
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I have members of my family who suffer with Parkinson’s. It’s a life changing disease but seeing this brings hope to everyone who has to deal with it every day of their lives.
Michael J. Fox is a truly amazing person for everything he’s doing to help support others with Parkinson’s. Also an amazing actor, (I always loved watching the back to the future movies as a child!)
I would ask everyone to please support his foundation and wish everyone out there hope ❤️
My dear great uncle had this and he was such a lovely man. His symptoms also stoped when he was asleep.
Lovely to see you visiting people michael who are suffering the same as you....the 1st time I ever encountered parkinsonism was when I was 22 years I'd had a spinal operation and was on the neuro ward and I walked by a guy in his bed who was shaking terribly and he was sweating real bad and he asked me to help take his vest off as his bed was soaked in sweat ..I felt so sorry for him and of course I helped him..I do not suffer with parkinsonism but I feel sorry for you guys who have it..stay strong and sending you all loving vibes from the UK.. respect to you Michael...GAV.
You are an inspiration Michael to so many people. I truly admire you and your ability to bring hope and progress to this devastating disease.
Michael keep fighting, you are one of my favorite actors and persons and the whole world, I feel very proud of you, i love you Michael forever !!! God bless you always!!!
This man is my childhood hero and at 36 years old he still is. I grew up with his films such as Back to the Future and Doc Hollywood. I call him a hero because after these blockbuster films he must not be short of money and could quite happily and quietly sit with the care needed and enjoy the fruits of life yet he's out there raising awareness about this awful disease and after seeing him in Designated Survivor it makes me proud to call him a hero. Keep fighting the fight. You make us all proud.
Michael J. Fox, you are such an amazing person, and through your foundation I have learned so much. That is how I learned my father has PD. Thank you for all you do! Keep up the great work - we need you!
It's terrible this disease has struck Michael. But the disease choice the wrong person to mess with. Bless you for all the work you have done and still do. I've donated last year and will donate this year. If anyone can organize a foundation to find a cure and improve lives of people who have it, then it's Michael J Fox and his foundation.
Michael is a beautiful man, he is a strong dude!
This great guy deserves all the best in the world ❤️ Love goes out to you ❤️🥺
what a humble man doing his best to reach out to people and being a positive activist for them. He deserves a cure and I hope they find one
Thanks for all the work you do Michael. I have had Parkinson's for the past 4 years. Some days are better than others. I support your foundation and I am actually on a medication for a trial from your foundation. I pray that a cure is found for this disease and all diseases. God bless
Six months ago I was diagnosed, but in hindsight, symptoms have been progressing for 10 years. The diagnosis has been a relief as it gave me a name for what was happening, things I could do about it, ways to fight back. I'm stronger now and will continue to fight back.
I just watched this video for the first time. I watched to see which person was "me". By the end I realized, they all are

What were your first symptoms 10 years ago (or 15 now)?
@@spo0ny2k tremor in my right hand was first diagnosed as Essential Tremor. But now that I know what the other symptoms are, I also had, shrinking hand writing, balance issues (I used to joke that I was the only person I knew that could lose my balance standing still), I stopped swinging my right arm. Who knew THAT was a symptom, but in hindsight that was the first symptom. I’d “trip” over nothing. I was a runner and when I started to tire near the end of a run, I would feel like I was “dragging” my right foot.
@@evieryan5 thank you for sharing. Given you were clearly an active person. What do you think what the causes? Predominantly genetic?
@@spo0ny2k No it isn’t genetic. Through MJF foundation I had the DNA testing and I do not have any of the markers. So that means mine is from environmental factors. Roundup herbicide is now proven to be a big one, hence the class action lawsuit.

Thank you for sharing. My dad has Parkinson’s. My heart and prayers go out to everyone dealing with this disease. God bless🙏🏻
Thank you Michael, for everything!
This video has really helped me. I've got so many emotions that I'm feeling right now. I don't know what to say and I'm worried about the future.
Please know that you are not alone.
Seeing someone shake neurologically is really sad and scary. I find out about people who make bad jokes about Michael J. Fox and Parkinson's disease here on CZcams. Never ever let that be unheard of. People used to be rude and discriminatory to me because of my autism. A person who acts disrespectful about somebody with a disorder is uneducated without a debate. Even somebody with a disability is smarter than someone without a disability that mistreats somebody with a disability. One thing that makes me really mad is that it doesn't seem as if the law will ever require everybody who plans to have a job that involves leadership to take a test on the truth about disabilities and to answer every question on that test correctly in order to pass. Nobody should get away with hurting somebody with a disability. When I want the law to say something that should matter to everybody without an exception but doubt that it will happen, I have to be furious. The problem is, I don't think anybody listens to me when I say something he or she has to know about.

I'm just learning about Parkinsons after my sister inlaw was diagnosed with it....Mahalo's to you all for sharing, and thank you Michael.
My eyes were filled with tears through the entire video. I pray for a cure for this evil disease.
That was so inspiring! I can't believe how much strength and courage people with these kind of problems have. I hope I can be as strong if I am ever faced with a similar situation.
its kind weird feeling when you about to cry for those people, then realize you only here because you have the same begging as them all, i hope everyone gets a great healthy happy life :(
Michael is such a blessing for these people .

He's still the same person we all know and love he's a good guy and proud of that he's making a difference to help those who has Parkinson's Disease and pray for a cure.
People with this disease are hell a lot braver than I would be. They are so inspirational and strong.
We take the most simple things for granted often, I can't imagine what these people deal with on a daily basis, God Bless Michael and everyone who has Parkinson's, hopefully one day there is a cure
Michael, you're hero, my inspiration, my everything. I actually didn't know a lot about Parkinson until my uncle was diagnosed. I was a little kid and i just couldn't understand why was he always "trembling". I grew up, and i started to regonize and realize about his disease. He is a pianist... it gets rough for him and in general for us everyday, but I know future is bright and things will change, at least that is what you make me feel with your existence. Thank you so so so much for being part of this world.
I hope you're doing ok.
