Therapy Session 7, Day 10

Nexalin got headline exposure in todays Viartis, Parkinsons daily news. We were featured in articles which describe Nexalin and its program for Parkinsons patients.

Randy completed his 7th therapy session with elctropulse therapy. As always, he felt nothng as he relaxed for 40 minutes. It is worth mentioning, in general Randy seems to be feeling improved. He still has dyskinesia, neck pain, headaches, and multiple other symptoms. This general feeling of improvement may be triggered by the improvements of the Parkys around him.

Bill Haweswinkle states that he is walking better than he has in many months. He says he can go futher and is more agile than he had been in the recent past. In addition, he was excited to tell us that he was able to turn over in bed last night for the first time in many months. The excitement is growiung for this 73 year old parky.

Rick Rucker also states that he is experiencing reduced pain and improved spirits. Although the improvements seem modest, combined they show a general positive trend which Rick expects to continue to improve after his departure on Saturday.

All three of the veteran patients have stated that their improvements in the past have continued way beyond the last day of therapy. According to them, they will continue to improve for 4 - 8 weeks and then level off for approximately 6 months.

After the morning therapies the whole group traveled to the residence of Hermann and Heidi and visited the "Snail House". This is a retreat for Parkinsons pateints in the area. It was very interesting and incorporated many innovative technologies and adaptations for the Parkinsons lifestyle. These included a wheelchair/bicycle combination, a vibrating exercising machine, a massage recliner, adapted bathrooms etc. Our German Parkinsons host and hostess set a beautiful table with many locally made cakes.

The evening ended with a delicious traditional German meal in a local resturant.
