Hey everyone - I'm not a medical professional, but we have been following the Israeli research on the gait aid and believe there is something to this. These guys are "real". We are going to buy one to let our members try - I'll let you know what the results are. Meg ________________________________ From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network on behalf of William P.

Did anyone besides me actually try peering through blue glass to stop dyskinasia.? I did. I tried different shades and densities of blue... None of them worked. : -( I knew it was too good to be true. But who went to all the trouble of creating the video which portrayed the wonders of peering through blue glass and its ability to "soothe the brain stem"?

I did look very closely at what is being offered, and found no reason to question the concept of altered sensory stimulation. In this regard it might be worth while to seek a "test run" before actual purchase. PD is a very individualistic disease with lots of variations. In essences this might aid may help many and not others.
