To fellow PWPS; Some of the mystery of acupuncture and its relevance to PWPs was cleared up at our last Support Group meeting at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Our leader and clinical advisor, Dr. Lola Sprinzeles, invited Dr. Eileen Zhao Yung Chen and her colleague Dr Gu to address our group. Dr. Chen said in part "...when we treat Parkinson's we focus on enhancing cerebral circulation and stimulating brain autologous functioning in repairing the damage and regenerating new cranial nerve cells. We combine acupuncture stimulation with a special exercise protocol named, "G's invigorate blood circulation exercise" which focuses on improving the circulation and fuctioning of the internal organs, regulating the hormone levels in the body, and enhancing the circulation of the brain. .." Dr Gu led us in performance of the exotic exercises. Dr. Chen invites your inquiries at 212-974-2880 [log in to unmask] (Mary Manfredi)
