A patent was issued for a “transcranial direct current stimulation” system to reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Curious what are the side effects compared to the current medications? Of course we are still only talking about supportive therapy, rather than any kind of treatment. Would you use it?
- Description: “VALLEY VIEW, Ohio — Great Lakes NeuroTechnologies has received allowance of claims from the U.S. Patent Office for an application covering their system and method of stimulating the brain during sleep to treat movement disorder symptoms.“

Annette is a fundraising consultant whose husband was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Annette found a team of scientists working on a technology she thinks can stop Parkinson's. She was then able to raise funding for the project from multiple financial donors. And that's how Stop Parkinson's was born.

I’m very impressed with your work
Thank you, Heather!
Do you have PD? Any tips, tricks and successes you’d like to share?
I take 100 to 200. mg melatonin every night—based on work of Russell Reiter, former editor of Pineal Journal. I also take 5 to 10 packs Lypospheric vitamin c when I don’t feel well based on idea the C gets across the blood brain barrier in the lyposomes. Plus, take Longvida curcumin as it aggregates into brain. Seems to have helped. 7 years post diagnosis and still not on meds. Recently got Fitbit to monitor activity and sleep.
