Tremors are an Asset for Alan Babbitt – Not a Liability

I genuinely enjoyed interviewing Fine Art Photographer and Musician Alan Babbitt this week on Parkinsons Recovery Radio. As I report during the interview, I never get tired of seeing one of Alan’s images which appears on the cover of my book Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease. Since I have been updating the book over the past 4 months, I have seen the image at least 5 times a day! It really is a stunning image. I am so glad I bought the rights to use it as the cover of my book.

Even if you are not a photographer or musician I encourage you to take an hour out of your day to hear my interview with Alan. He offers rich insights on how he has maintained a vibrant, healthy lifestyle. Best of all, Alan does not view his own tremor as a liability but as an asset to his photography. He also offers a compelling discussion of how he reversed his own depression.

To hear the interview, click on the radio show page icon which, as you know, appears down the right hand column of this page. The replay is posted at the top of the member Radio Show page since I just aired the program this week.

Join Us Monday for the March Support Group Meeting

Coming up at noon pacific time Monday is our March support group meeting. Details on how to connect are on the support group membership page (click on the icon found at the top on the right hand column of this page).

I will offer a few comments about the interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. There is a good guy and a bad guy when it comes to calming Parkinson’s symptoms. Find out which is which Monday.

Treatment for Pain

I am presently in Austin, Texas helping my daughter who has been hospitalized for about six weeks now. One of the therapies I am exploring for her is to get treatments with the Vecttor – which is an invention of Dr. Rhodes who I interviewed on the radio show about five years ago. The Vecttor is now FDA approved.

Apparently, he did a small study with five people with Parkinson’s symptoms in Austin several years ago. I am working on learning more about the results which I understand were favorable. I also hope to get a series of treatments for my daughter with him next week in Houston and to learn much more about how the treatments are done so I can explain it to everyone else.

Stay tuned!  His website: www.vecttor.com
