I was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 63. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability,My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing and soft voice. I also had difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and then Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. During the summer of 2021, I was introduced to Health Herbs Clinic and their effective Parkinson’s herbal protocol. This protocol relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. Visit www . healthherbsclinic . com. After First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone. I live a more productive life. I was fortunate to have the loving support of my husband and family. I make it a point to appreciate every day!

It is actually to ensure they can keep the idea and no other company can use it without license - usually a fee beset by the company. But let's not speak of medicine e as it is full of greedy people that are happy to put cures to ice to ensure companies get large amount of cash for pills that have limited effect, or provide long term solution

                Macbeth, 15 Dec 2018What is Parkinson's patients?Famous boxer Mohammad Ali had Parkinson"s.

                  Those parents are really getting out of hand. While I understand that a company puts in some cash, are patents really a good idea on something like health? I mean, aren't those companies trying to actually make our life better? Of course not, cash first, this has nothing to do with making life better for others..

                    This is good. Any aid that devices and technology can provide to the disabled and unwell is worthy of appreciation. Good going Microsoft!

                        You forgot to mention band 3(unreleased) had more sensors(that watch out for your health) than new apple's watch(long way before).
                        I guess they just needed a complete restart of all smart devices so they can use new core of W10. Hopefully they will bring some services along with hw, a lot of them got also killed in the process.
