My husband just got diagnosised. a month ago. i found this wonderful site. pdrecovery.org which has an cure for PD based on Chinese Medicine. We found a practicioner in our area and have been going to him for two weeks. You can't be on medication if you follow their treatment. We were on for 5 days, and i took him off to try this. I have found several people who have been following their treatment who have had good results and a diminishing of their symptoms.
