Parkinson's Disease from a Holistic Perspective

Parkinson's is a rapidly progressing disorder and one goes into a rapid decline if untreated. It affects the basal ganglia part of the brain that controls motor functions and secretes a chemical messenger, (neurotransmitter) called Dopamine. The lack of dopamine causes loss of nerve-cell transmission, and hence motor activity.

This leads to the development of classical symptoms of Parkinson's such as like tremors, rigidity and slow movements (bradykinesia). It is also termed as 'paralysis agitans' or 'shaking palsy'.

The condition is a progressive one, which means increased deterioration with time. Some researchers have linked it with the natural process of ageing, claiming that most people would suffer from it if only they lived long enough. As many as 50,000 patients are affected by this chronic condition every year, in the US alone. Some studies have also found Depression to be present in about 20 to 80% of the cases. The incidence of Parkinson's disease is found to be slightly higher in men, as compared to women.

The peer-reviewed published research quoted on this page represents some of the studies done on natural remedies for Parkinson's disease. More such studies can be found on pubmed or google scholar. Our doctors participate in or evaluate research from all traditions before formulating our precedent-setting kits. However, the laws on natural medicine vary, from country to country, and we, therefore, make no claims beyond those made by the FDA in your country who is the only authority that can legally make a claim to cure, treat, or mitigate a disease. You are welcome to discuss this research with your doctors. If they truly care about your health they too will take the time to study it with an open mind. You may then take our all natural products for Brain Health. Biogetica supports you in your right to know and chose and we vow to be with you every step of the way. No one will be turned away from receiving our natural remedies even if they cannot pay.

Conventional treatments include anti-cholinergic drugs like Benztropine, Procyclidine and Orphenodrine. Another drug Amantadine is also used, either alone, or in combination with Anti-cholinergic drugs. Levodopa and Dopamine agonists like Bromocriptine, Pergolide, Pramipexole and Ropinirole may also be prescribed. These drugs address Parkinson's at a very superficial, symptomatic level. Also, none of them are known to cure Parkinson's.

Moreover, more often than not, they are accompanied by a fleet of painful and unpleasant side-effects. Anti-cholinergic drugs may cause dryness of the mouth, constipation, urine-retention and blurred vision. They may also cause confusion and hallucinations in elderly patients.

Side-effects of Amantadine may include restlessness, confusion, skin rashes, Edema and disturbances in the Cardiac Arrhythmia(disturbances in the rhythm of the Heart). It offers no more than transient relief.

The most common initial side-effects of Levodopa include nausea, vomiting, Postural Hypotension (decrease in blood-pressure with regard to change in position), and occasionally, Cardiac Arrhythmia.

Biogetica’s mission is to provide you with integrated natural solutions that target root issues across the physical, energetic and informational spectrum of your life. Our Doctors research all possible ingredients and combine them synergistically into kits to potentially lead you back to health and freedom.

Biogetica's approach to healing is based on the following aspects:
1. Heal the Entire Being
2. Look for Natural Solutions
3. Appeal to the Balancing Forces Inherent in all Nature
4. From Medication to Meditation

1. Heal the Entire Being:
Biogetica has a unique and comprehensive Holographic model of healing which synthesizes all the traditional natural health systems to simultaneously ease physical, mental, emotional layers of your being.

You, as a living, thinking, feeling, vibrating being, are much more than a collection of inter-related chemical processes. You are life itself. Life can never be reduced to a series of chemical reactions as chemical reactions cannot create life. Every thought, emotion, vibration or action leads to a series of chemical changes in the body. Biogetica recognizes this and balances the ENTIRE BEING, bringing mind, body, and soul into harmony. Treating an ailment on a molecular level alone, seldom has a lasting effect as the untreated social, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic patterns cause the ailment to manifest once again on a physical plane. Holistic healing is necessary for lasting relief. Biogetica, therefore, uses Resonance Homeopathic to harmonize the entire being; flower essences to attune the mind; Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and Chinese herbs to balance the energetic and the physiological manifestation of the five elements; and nutraceuticals to coordinate cellular nutrition.

2. Look for Natural Solutions:
Our bodies are made of and supported by nature and therefore can only be healed by nature in the long term. Chemicals are often necessary for immediate change in an acute situation but tend to do the body more harm than good in the long run. Hence, Biogetica's Doctors are dedicated to providing natural solutions that are supported by evidence and prior use. To us, the argument is fairly obvious: One would use wood to fix a desk made of wood or metal to fix a car made of metal, so why use chemicals to fix a body made of nature?

Nature has blessed the Earth with natural remedies and healing mechanisms. It would be wise not to ignore them. The intelligence of nature is much greater than that of man. Unfortunately, man still focuses on chemical medicines, as they can be patented and sold for huge profits. Allopathic attempts to treat chronic ailments by interfering directly with the chemical processes using man-made substances have essentially been a failure. We claim to be cracking the gene code, but we still can't cure a cold with man-made substances!!! Homeopathic and Naturopathic methods are never studied and verified by governing bodies, as there is no one who will spend millions obtaining an approval on herbs, knowing that they cannot be patented and sold exclusively by them.

3. Appeal to the Balancing Forces Inherent in all Nature:
Life cannot be recreated with chemical interactions and there is much more to life than molecular interactions. Our bodies are the most advanced pharmacies on the planet and millions of functions happen each minute with astounding precision. Biogetica therapies are designed to appeal to the balancing forces apparent in all nature by reminding and stimulating the body towards a certain function. The nutraceuticals in our kits provide specific nutrition for a function, the herbs in our kits balance the terrain of the body so that it is able to perform that function and the resonance homeopathies are designed to remind the body to be in resonance with that very function.

4. From Medication to Meditation:
Good health and freedom involve every aspect of our being including diet, lifestyle, exercise, emotional states, thoughts and energetic patterns. Biogetica Drs have therefore designed diet, nutrition, exercise, and meditation protocols specific to various life situations. We encourage you to actively partake in these for best results.
