Parkinson’s Disease Volunteers Needed



Parkinson’s Disease Volunteers Needed 

The Helen Foundation requests volunteers for a new Parkinson’s disease study to evaluate mental function improvement during Microdose Therapy. 

Hand tremors disappeared for Max Glime while participating in a Helen Foundation study for his arthritis.  Max had tried to keep his hands from bouncing by holding one hand with the other.  That didn’t work.

Since Max, 30 people with Parkinson’s disease completed the Helen Foundation arthritis study modified for Parkinson’s disease.   Progression was arrested, patients walked without a shuffle, arms swung while walking, and tremors were reduced.  Professor Virgil Stenberg who led the research explains  “The importance of this study is finding a complementary, FDA-compliant treatment that can be used with leva-dopa for Parkinson’s disease.”    

The Helen Foundation encourages physicians to use patient self-administration of cortisone for chronic disease.  This use is similar to insulin use for diabetes and aspirin for headaches.  Staying within safe use limits, patients are taught to use cortisone tablets on the bad days and not on the good ones.  In this way, so little is used that no significant side effects occur yet inflammation control is excellent.  This is Microdose Therapy—a small amount when needed.

The 1950 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to discoverers of cortisone for solving arthritis the first time.  Then ‘moon-face’, bone weakening, thinning of the skin, bleeding under the skin, weight gain, and cataracts appeared in patients using cortisone.   “These observations are perfectly correct, but the conclusion that cortisone has side effects is perfectly incorrect.”  states Dr. Stenberg.  “Cortisone is a hormone of the body and as such can have no side effects.   The observations are due to overdosing through lack of understanding how to use cortisone.”

“Parkinson’s disease appears due to that same difficult-to-detect cortisone deficiency that causes arthritis.”  says Stenberg.  “When the missing is replaced, the lame walk again, pain is gone, fatigue disappears, and cortisone is solved arthritis a second time.”

Robert Van Cott, a software engineer with Parkinson’s disease, explained that he could only concentrate on a subject for 15 minutes before restlessness drove him away.  After the Helen Foundation study, he could concentrate for five hours.  The Helen Foundation requests volunteers for a new Parkinson’s disease study to evaluate mental function improvement during Microdose Therapy.  The Helen Foundation telephone number is 1-480-983-8376.
