Healing Methods

After six years and more than thirty methods tried, people often ask me: What worked best? The honest answer is: I don't know for sure. I almost always did several things at the same time, and nobody can calculate which piece played which part. What I can say is what felt right to me and where my test results showed something.

My top three

1. Exercise and Movement: my most important "medicine." For no other method is the research so clear.
2. TPS: since fall 2021, once a month.
3. Microbiome Transfer: After the first fecal transplant, my gut flora improved a lot, and I had the feeling that things took another step forward.

What was also important

NeuroEpo from Cuba, after which my sense of smell improved right away, and the light therapy PDCare. Also homeopathy and the health retreat on Baltrum, which gave me strength in my darkest time, my supplements and later lithium. I consider diet important, though a bit less today than I used to. And fasting-mimicking.

What did nothing for my symptoms

Not all of these methods are worthless, but I want you to know where I invested time and money without any change in my symptoms:

• Water fasting (2022): no noticeable improvement, but I still consider fasting positive for longevity
• Broccoli Seed Tea, vibration plate, SRT Zeptor: no effect, more under Other Methods in Brief
• Iboga: no change, but I would test it again
• Psilocybin: no effect on motor function, but a gain mentally
• Tanganil: no change after two years, but others report success
• HBO: good for my mood, otherwise no noticeable effect
• Stem cells: my most expensive treatment, so far with no effect on the Parkinson's

In parallel, but not at random

With what I know today, I would have started everything that seemed sensible to me and that I could afford earlier and in parallel. If you test each method on its own for half a year, five therapies take you two and a half years, and with Parkinson's you don't have that time.

Most alternative methods have hardly any side effects, other than costing time and money. But not all of them: iboga puts strain on the heart, lithium and too much selenium or vitamin B6 can cause harm, and methylene blue does not mix with certain medications. And in 2026, I learned that more is not always better. Please talk to your doctor first about anything that goes into your body.

I also know that my path takes a lot of strength. Not everyone has the energy or the means for it. If you rely mainly on treatment by your neurologist, you are taking an equally legitimate path.
