Watch how a device in his chest helps manage his Parkinson’s disease 

My grandfather lived with Parkinsons for over 25 years. We never got to see him smile. And as a young kid I didn't understand how he could be so happy in older pictures but seemed so sad now. He was a sweet and gentle soul, and wish he could have benefited from this ground breaking therapy.

Right

Hi, Edward. I want to know the complete address of the hospital and contact No of hospital as well doctors from where you have treated, if its possible for you please help me.

@@haroonshaikh8952 Just google Kingston Hospital.

Did your insurance covered it?

@@frenchustube yes

DBS, as said in the video, doesn't work for all parkinson's patients. Given MJF's involvement with research and living with the disease, I'm sure they've looked into it.

I took care of my lovely wife who died from late stage Parkinson's in 2022..she had this disease for 22 years but had no shaking . This DBS surgery for patients with dyskinesia/tremors is at best when it works does help for a time with tremor in some patients but it is not a permanent solution ,patient's have to be carefully screened for any latent psychiatric problems prior to the implant or psychosis can become an issue. I also know of patients in my PD support group who had little benefit from DBS implants..as I remember the device by itself costs 35 thousand dollars, that is before surgery fees.

It a very beautiful thing to see myself healthy again after using remedy from Dr Ake on RU-vid, I finally got cured of my Parkinson's disease with his herbs med and I can tell how great my health has turned out so far. Thank you 🙏 ❤️

What company's device was put in your brain? You should have them and your neurologist make some adjustments in your programing. Did you have it done for both sides of your body? If so, chances are there is some overlap between your left side of the brain and the right side. When they go in on the right side of the brain to correct the left, that is where the speech and balance are. If you adjust this, you may not get quite as much benefit from the tremors, but it is sure better than speech and balance problems. I had both sides done. My dominate side is on the right. I just had my left side done. During the placement they kept getting me to say things to check for speech problems. I didn't have any problem.My programing/activation is in a couple of weeks. My neurologist warned me that I may not get quite as good of results on the left side because we want to prevent the overlap problems. I don't care as long as there is improvement. Before any of this, I couldn't do everyday stuff. Thank goodness for my husband! My right side is great! The first time I held a sandwich and a drink, I just busted out crying. I think it took me a month or so to get used to be able to do normal things. It was life changing for me.

@@anntodd1233 That's fascinating. PD isn't part of my life, but it's always uplifting to hear of people's triumphs.

Dont get caught in media hype. This surgery has many downfalls like loss of speech, balance and walking ability. Hardly anyone talks about infection risks during battery replacements. My fathers DBS system had to be removed completely after an infection during battery replacement and he was been bed ridden since. He flew to the surgery on his own. Lost his speaking ability after DBS. Doctors will blame decease progression if something goes wrong. So be aware.

@@ssap3717I had it done almost three years ago. I have zero regrets.

His earlier brain surgery when he was younger made him a non candidate for DBS surgery also s it is not a cure , the effects in time diminish.

Not a cure, just a mask, but it is helpful for those that have this disease.

Highly simplistic. If this worked for everyone…they would do this.

@@alexandrawhitelock6195 It does work for everyone. The reason they don't do it is because they've never heard of it or, like you, they refuse to believe it.

B.S.

best wishes!

Did it work? How are you now?

Well, Michael J fox has had it done... so they know about it.

@@garryswanson1595 it did not work for Michael?

He did not have this procedure see why in my above comments..geez!

That's what I'm wondering about and this guy you see in this video is the same guy interviewed Michael J. Fox
