Parkinson ’ s Patients Get More Mobility And Better Balance With Whole Body Vibration Therapy
I’ve always believed that with a little coaxing, your body can self-heal – and the same is true for your brain. Conventional doctors will never tell you this. For them, being a physician means managing symptoms with Big Pharma meds. But for years, I’ve been helping patients recover using dietary changes, lasers, stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT). These therapies help your body heal itself. No Big Pharma drug can do this. But I recently began researching another natural therapy – called Whole Body Vibration, or WBV – that can help Parkinson’s patients regain their mobility and balance. WBV isn’t new. It...

Can you learn to cough after having a stroke?
A strong cough, requires powerful coordinated contraction of expiratory (abdominal) muscles. The expiratory muscles contract to build up high positive intrapleural and intra-airway pressures for development of peak expiratory Flow rates. Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) has been shown to improve parameters related to pulmonary function, speech, and cough.However, no one has investigated what changes occur in the activation of abdominal muscles after training. The aim of this study is to clarify which role plays the coordination of abdominal muscles in expiratory flows. The null hypothesis was that stroke patients...

Exercise results in larger brain size and lowered dementia risk
FINDINGS Using the landmark Framingham Heart Study to assess how physical activity affects the size of the brain and one’s risk for developing dementia, UCLA researchers found an association between low physical activity and a higher risk for dementia in older individuals. This suggests that regular physical activity for older adults could lead to higher brain volumes and a reduced risk for developing dementia. The researchers found that physical activity particularly affected the size of the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain controlling short-term memory. Also, the protective effect of regular physical activit...
