Michael J. Fox on Parkinson’s disease http://www.mpbn.net/parkinsons

Posted by on January 5, 2012

www.mpbn.net Michael J. Fox talks about his experience with Parkinson’s disease. He founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000 and it has become one of America’s leading sources of funding for Parkinson’s research. The Michael J. Fox Foundation also supports research being done in Maine at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor. The work being done at the Jackson Labs may lead to new treatments for Parkinson’s sufferers and might one day lead to a cure. This segment is excerpted from the MPBN documentary “Easing the Burden: Parkinson’s Disease.”

    Those who have it, my condolensces. Stop breathing so quickly, 4x a minute breathrate is enough for everyone’s body, which will take you one minute to prove. This is the source of Parkinsons. Breathing slower test trials are impossible, hence no solution.
    “Buteyko” – Google him and expand his thoughts to Parkinsons disease, CFS, RBBB, etc. etc. If you have the disease, do your own research please, it only takes a minute, what have you got to lose? Wear a dust mask while sleeping too.

    @zukaka84 yeah…they did not confirm it yet but they say there is an extremley negligible chance…but….lets be optimistic here:)..

  • zukaka84 said,

    @hotdog7223 That hypothesis was not correct as I know. It was about neutrino traveling faster than speed.

  • hotdog7223 said,

    @zukaka84 do you know that know the scientists world wide…..they found a particle which travels at speeds greater than light…….i mean its just an hypothesis….if its true….they say time travel may be possible……….when that happens i’ll make sure you hear bout…:)…..(this is all true)….

  • hotdog7223 said,

    @zukaka84 trust when time travel is possible…..we’ll do it

    To help cure Parkinson’s Disease, go breath the fresh air in an open area as much as you can, Consider switching from gasoline-powered equipment to equipment powered by electricity, batteries, or compressed air if it can be used safely.

    I am humbled by the man’s open frankness …simple yet direct
    thank-you for sharing here on YT

    @nickyinlondon I’m not going to argue with you.Your comment was insulting originally.If you have to clarify that your not trying to insult (which you did) than you shouldn’t post. who was your “live” comment to? Michael certainly doesn’t have time for this. So obviously, you were asking youtubers-which I’m part of. I simply answered you. While it may not be your definition of fatal it is, as i said before, living hell. It can also be considered fatal in the fact that it shortens your life.

  • nickyinlondon said,

    @HollywoodGirl2104 “fatal” means that you will die from it, which you don’t. Everyone has different symptoms and the medication has both physical and mental side effects that can break a family. My dad got sick in his early 30′s (more that 20 years ago), he is not “well controlled” and I know this from living with him full time. I am very well “educated” on this and am offended that you assume I am not even when you know my situation. Please don’t comment just to insult.

  • HollywoodGirl2104 said,

    @nickyinlondon it is fatal. Please educate yourself. Seriously, all it takes is googling it to find out its a degenerative disease which shortens your lifespan. Even if you don’t count that as “fatal” The symptoms alone, in a severe case, will make it even worse. My grandmother got it. She got it in her 40′s and passed in her 70′s. Every. single. second. She was in pain. If your dad is lucky enough to be well controlled good for him. Its living hell for anyone thats not so lucky.

    Hi Swam420. This is the final segment in a documentary called “Easing the Burden: Parkinson’s disease”. The chalk at the end relates to an earlier segment in the film. You can watch the complete film on the web site.

  • swarm420 said,

    I don’t understand all the pictures of chalk at the end, could someone enlighten me? Thanks. xD

  • zukaka84 said,

    I wish he could go to the future and take Parkinson’s medicine from the shelf in pharmacy store.

  • nickyinlondon said,

    very honest question, what do you mean by “live”?
    are you aware Parkinson’s isn’t fatal? Again, I am asking this sincerely. Not trying to make fun… you can never be too careful not to offend people on here.
    P.S: my dad has Parkinson’s Disease so I’m speaking from an informed perspective
