One of the most promising research initiatives focuses on apoptosis – the natural process in the body that rejuvenates and regenerates cells. Several weeks ago I interviewed the primary researcher Dr. Bill McAnalley, founder of Aroga, who offered a fascinating discussion that previewed the foods that are critical to support sound cellular health.
This week I will be interviewing on the radio show Dr. Rollins from Aroga who will explain in greater detail what apoptosis is all about.  He will be available to answer any and all questions. Please email me any of your questions about this new initiative. I will be sure and ask him them . Dr. Rollins is an expert on the science behind Aroga’s product developments.
The interview airs Wednesday. (As with all interviews, it will be available for replay using the same link as below).
Everyone who experiences the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease is well aware that stress and anxiety fuel symptoms. When stress is brought under control and anxiety is cut to the quick, symptoms become far less troublesome.
Everyone also knows that medicines and supplements have the potential to suppress symptoms in the short run, but they offer little promise of long lasting effectiveness. What in the world can deliver on this promise? Are there any simple techniques that can?
My answer is yes.
A am offering a new course that introduces simple techniques which cost nothing and turn the volume down on an overactive sympathetic nervous system. I did not invent these techniques. They have been extracted and simplified from an extensive body of research on anxiety. Everyone can use them.
These simple techniques really do help reduce anxiety and stress in the moment. The only reason they will not succeed is if you do not activate them when stress rears its ugly head.
The techniques are:
Simple
Easy to do
Accessible 24 hours a day
Free to access
Effective
Techniques will be taught during four classes to be offered for the first time in October 2018. Two class schedules are available. Choose the class day that best meets your needs:

Parkinson’s disease (PD), characterized with bradykinesia, static tremor, rigidity and disturbances in balance, is the second most common neuro-degenerative disorder. Alzheimer disease is first.
With the global trends in aging, the incidence of PD has increased year by year and the prevalence rate is up to 1–2% among the elderly over the age of 65 years. So far, there is still no exact cure for PD due to its diversity of etiology and complexity of symptoms.
Currently, Parkinson’s disease is treated with Levodopa and maybe Monamine, Oxidase Inhibitors (MOAs) or Acetylcholine inhibitors. Levodopa makes more Dopamine available for the dopamine receptor, MOAs increase the amount norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin at their prospective receptors and acetylcholine inhibitors make more acetylcholine available to its receptor.
None of which address the physical cause of the disease.
The cause of PD has not been completely elucidated, but it has been generally acknowledged that the improvement of oxidative stress is one of the most important patho-physiological mechanisms.
Dr. Bill’s research has focused on stopping the causes of diseases like Parkinson’s by:
The inhibition of oxidative stress:
PD patients are in a state of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is caused by the increase of free radicals in the organism, while the ability to eliminate free radicals is decreased at the same time. A large amount of lipid peroxide, such as Malondialdehyde (MDA), hydroxyl, carbonyl, etc., will cause cell death, which leads to neuronal apoptosis ultimately.
The mitochondria is the “power plant†and “energy conversion station†of cells. It also regulates the process of gene expression and apoptosis. Recent reports have suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to a variety of neuro-degenerative diseases including PD.
The reduction of toxic Excitatory Amino Acids (EAA):Â
Glutamate (Glu), Also, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and enkephalin can can produce excitotoxicity effects on nerve cells. Glutamate creates an excitatory effect on nerve cells, and is toxic when Dopa Amine neurons are fully or partially degenerated.
The inhibition of neuroinflammation:
Neuroinflammation is a common and important pathological mechanism in nervous system diseases and different neurological diseases are involved in neuroinflammation at some stage. At present, it is believed that neuroinflammation was involved in an important cascade reaction in neuronal degeneration of PD.
When the central nervous system suffers from exogenous antigens stimulus, such as pathogenic microorganisms or foreign bodies, microglia will be rapidly activated. Then, the activated microglia cells can secrete various cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, etc. The cytokines cause neuroinflammation.
The inhibition of neuronal apoptosis:
Parkinson’s is caused by the premature death of dopaminergic neurons by abnormal apoptosis activation. Energy for normal activities of brain cells comes directly from aerobic energy, and there is little energy storage. However once brain damage occurs, it will cause nerve cell apoptosis or death.
The Bcl-2 family of proteins regulate apoptosis. It is divided into two categories: anti-apoptosis gene (such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w, Bcl-1, etc.) and pro-apoptosis gene (such as Bax, Bak, Bad, Bid, etc.). Their ratio regulates apoptosis.
The inhibition of abnormal protein aggregation:
Misfolded and aggregated proteins play a key role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease. Protein aggregates differ from disease to disease. This common characteristic shows that protein deposition is toxic to neurons.
Studies confirmed that the activity of the proteasome dropped substantially in substantia nigra of patients with PD, which weakened the ability of the substantia nigra to degrade α-syn and other proteins.
Targeting Nrf2 to Suppress Ferroptosis and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegeneration:
Nrf2 is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage triggered by injury and inflammation. Several drugs that stimulate the NFE2L2 pathway are being studied for treatment of diseases that are caused by oxidative stress.

Dr. Bill offered suggestions on the products he recommended for persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s. He recommended three
Aroga products: (1) the Core (2) the Plus Brain and Nerve and (3) the Bone, Joint and Endocrine (which supports hormones). At a minimum. the Core would take top priority.
Information about these products and the opportunity to order is available at:
The replay link below takes you to the Q&A program today I hosted that is intended for customers, Associates and individuals interested in learning more about the CBD products offered by CTFO. This is the company that offers a 60 full money back guarantee and the one I have determined is trustworthy. Better yet, they offer the best prices on CBD products.
I signed up several months ago to be an Associate which is an option for you too. While the cost of products is the same currently whether you purchase as a customer or an Associate, this will change soon. Apparently, Associates will benefit from lower prices soon (and there is no cost to becoming an Associate).
The first set of questions that will be addressed is intended primarily for customers. The second set is primarily intended for persons who have signed up for free to be CTFO Associates. Connection scoop is below followed by a listing of some of the questions that will be addressed.
I am not interested in becoming an Associate. I simply want to purchase the CBD oil and try it out under the 60 day money back guarantee. How do I register as a customer rather than an associate?
Since I am just a customer, why do I have to create a user name and password? Seems like that is for Associates only.
When I registered as a customer, CTFO created a website. I do not want a website. What is up here? I would prefer that they take the website down.
How to I check on the status of my existing CBD oil order?
What is recommended about the concentration of CBD oil when it comes to the best buy? I see there are a number of choices – 300 mg, 750 mg, 1500 mg, etc. Is the total quantity in each of the bottles the same? Is the price the same?
Is the cost of products less if I sign up for free to be an Associate?
How can I save on my purchases?
How do I set up automatic shipping?
Can I simply call Robert to order?
If I use up the entire contents of the bottle that I ordered, can I really return the empty bottle for a full refund?
Besides the CBD oils, what other products does CTFO offer?
Q&A for Associates-
What are the required fees to maintain an associate status?
In order to earn the 20% commissions, do I have to set up auto-shipping and pay for a product each month that costs at least $47?
Since I will not lose the 20% commissions when someone orders from my Associate website if I do not set up auto-shipping, why should I bother to do so?
How often are commissions paid?
How do I set up payments to my bank account?
How do you recommend I market the CBD oils?
Is the cost of the products the same for me as an associate as they are for a person who is not an associate?
How can I save on the products I personally purchase?
If one of my customers returns a product, will my commissions be affected?
On the associates’ website can you order products from the home page under products or do you need to sign into your back office & order products from this area? What is the difference?
If I am selling products or going to sell products & I have not given CTFO my tax ID what should i do?
Tell me about the Tuesday & Thursday night conference calls & the call in information.
 Please explain the pay plan in detail including the many options available.
Are there any new developments with the company you would like to share. How is the company doing financially, etc.
That is right folks. Our monthly support group gathering is coming up Monday at 12:00 noon pacific time. Email me questions and topics you would like to be addressed and I will put them on the agenda.

Last month I hosted a Parkinsons Recovery radio show that highlighted a company (CTFO) that sells a high quality CBD oil at affordable prices (posted here of course). A have heard back from a number of user that indicate using CBD helped them, so I have concluded it is probably worth taking CBD oil to see if you might help you. There is a way to try it risk free if you purchase from the CTFO company. First, an general overview of what we know about CBD oil.
Does Taking CBD Oil Help?
Since the radio show interview, I have received many inquiries from listeners asking about whether taking CBD can help their Parkinson’s symptoms. Naturally, each question differs in content, but the nature of the question is the same.
I am asked:
“I have (a list of Parkinson’s symptoms here) – will taking CBD oil help me?â€
Because I have received so many questions like this I thought it prudent to post my response here.
Answer to the Question about CBD Oil:
There is no way to know whether taking CBD oil will offer you relief from the symptoms you describe. As a new therapy, there is very little research evidence. And with virtually all natural therapies, I have concluded that any natural therapy (like taking CBD) will help some people but not necessarily other people who experience Parkinson’s symptoms.
There is little research evidence that uses Parkinson’s patients. Studies have found positive effects for the use of CBD on anxiety, stress and PTSD. You can review abstracts of these studies on www.pubmed.com (the US government’s index of scientific studies).
You can also access videos posted by persons with Parkinson’s symptoms on Youtube. Visit www.youtube.com. Search using the terms “CBD Parkinson’s†or variants thereof. The listing of videos will populate.
I encourage you to review what evidence does exist (however limited). Of course talk with your doctor about taking CBD before making a final decision.
If you decide to try it, I recommend you purchase CBD (preferably the high concentration 1500 mg CBD oil) from CTFO. Why? They offer a 60 day guarantee. You only have to return the used bottle to them to claim a full refund if it does not help address your symptoms.
CBD products offered by CTFO have high quality.
They offer a high concentration 1500 mg CBD.
You cannot beat the risk free opportunity to see if taking CBD will help.
To summarize, no one can say whether taking CBD oils will help you or not. But, you can find out for yourself by trying it out. That is the “gold standard†test which will offer you a reliable answer to the question many of you have asked me to answer. The truthful answer is – I do not know if taking CBD oil will help you, but I do know that you can find out for yourself risk free.

This year has been a life changer for many persons diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I am hearing many encouraging reports from people who have found therapies that reverse Parkinson’s and are getting relief from their symptoms. This is a truly exciting development from previous years.
The 2018 Update covers all the new, promising options for recovery that I have documented over the previous year. Many promising possibilities (some recently discovered or invented) are helping more and more people reverse their Parkinson’s symptoms. The 2018 Update covers the following:
Many of you have been asking me when you can order the ketone ester. Frank Llosa, CEO of ketoneaid.com emailed me yesterday that he opened up orders for the ester.  Here is the private  link: (If he makes it public he will sell out in an hour).
The company will very likely sell out quickly (supply is very limited) so if you want to try the ketone ester, act now. Frank has a waiting list of 3,000 customers but wants to give preference to persons with Parkinson’s symptoms.
One of our members, Duane, offered a stunning testimonial about his experience taking the ester which you can hear by listening to the replay of our Parkinsons Recovery June support group meeting.
The cost of the ester is $300. You can claim free shipping by entering the coupon code “Zero” on the shopping cart.
Opportunity to purchase may be available for several weeks. Or, orders may be closed in a few days. If you want to try the ketone ester, I strongly suggest you act now.
And Yes! It really does pay handsomely to be a Parkinsons Recovery member!!!
Have you been using CBD oils to address Parkinson’s symptoms?
Have you been on the lookout for a high quality source at an affordable cost? The oils can get pricey if you use them on a regular basis.
If so, read on …
Parkinsons Recovery has been at the forefront of documenting promising new therapies for Parkinson’s including the potential usefulness of CBD oils. I hosted a company on the radio show several years ago that offered a CBD oils with a 300 mg concentration. Research suggests that higher concentrations may be required depending on individual circumstances.
With the passage of time, other companies have moved into the CBD Oil market that offer CBD oils with higher potency concentrations. Thanks to a member of my Parkinson’s audience, I have at long last identified a reputable source of CBD oils from a company that has been in the CBD business for 3 years.
My due diligence says that this company (called CTFO) offers a high quality product at very affordable prices. I want you to know about this company so you can do your own due diligence.
I signed up to be an affiliate of the company (it is free) which means that I get to purchase the CBD oils for my daughter at even greater savings. Of course you can do the same.
The advantage as I see it is that they have a top quality product that is being offered a very reasonable cost relative to other companies. Most importantly you can also purchase oils at high concentrations. (Some members of my audience have tried low concentration of CBD oils with little success). This source of CBD Oils is worth checking out.
Below is a link to the free website the CTFO company set up for Parkinsons Recovery with all the scoop .
For only the second time this year I am offering my 5 session Jump Start to Recovery course which launches Tuesday, July 10th and continues each week for five classes. Â The 50% discount early bird tuition is available now which makes the tuition a bargain. Enrollment comes with many downloads of my books and a wealth of informational resource materials.
As you well know, my mission is to support your journey as you travel down the road to recovery. Since this course has been useful to so many, I am offering it again this summer.
