Dave, Imagery has been shown to be effective for a wide range of things - from enhancing performance such as in sports to fighting cancer To me, visualization is is a form of prayer and the effectiveness of prayer on healing has even been scientifcally demonstrated. You might want to read some books like - Healing Words by Larry Dossey and the Faith Factor by Dale Matthews. Check the medical research. I attended a powerful symposium attended by 700 health professionals (and some patients) held by Harvard Medical School and the Mind/Body Medical Institute on Spirituality and Healing. Their next session is March 19-21 in Denver. 671-432-1525. I am a behavioral medicine psychologist who was diagnosed with PD at the age of 40 (8 years ago). I refused to buy into the grim imagery painted by the medical system. I live with a vision of hope and healing and am actively researching alternative therapies. Can we see our future without PD? Can we see a future for the world without PD? My answer is yes. Go for it!
