I'm removing this comment by the end of today unless you can prove that you are a real person with Parkinson’s rather than someone paid to promote this clinic - as has happened many times before on this newsletter

I was diagnosed of Parkinson’s disease. After years on medications, symptoms worsened with tremors on my right hand, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness and loss of speech. Fortunately last year, i learnt about Health Herbs Clinic and their Parkinson’s disease alternative treatment ( healthherbsclinic . com ), the Parkinson’s disease treatment made a great difference, most of my symptoms including tremors, weakness and others gradually disappeared. I improved greatly over the 6 months treatment, it’s been a years since the treatment, i have no symptoms. I have a very good quality of life and a supportive family!

I have Parkinson’s, diagnosed in 2013. My friend was asked by her Consultant to wear the PKG watch for a week so that her symptoms could be analysed using the graphs created by the PKG. The device was able to pin point the improvements to tremor, slowness of movement and rigidity when she took her medication. We studied the graphs carefully and were able to see where changes to her regime would benefit her symptoms. We also identified ‘errors’. The PKG identified a period of ‘Dystonia’ on Monday morning. This was in error! The large, random movements on the graph were my friend’s attendance at a HIIT class…… Beware a false dawn. The PKG needs its user to be able to interpret the findings.

I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease since 2010, by the VA. I found that none of the current medications worked (side effects for me). I currently take pramipexole dihydrochloride three times daily. It isn’t working well neither. I still have some tremors. Was on carbidopa levodopa but only lasted 90 minutes then wore off. Down side of carbidopa is after reaching max dosage it will no longer give relief, nothing was working for me and to make matters worse There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable medical treatment for Parkinson’s disease without spending thousands of $$, i found this website health herbs clinic just 3 months ago, and their natural alternative treatment to help combat this disease. Decided to give it a try and it has made a tremendous difference for me I improved dramatically, No case of hallucination, muscle weakness, especially the tremors they disappeared.

Why are trials always in England?

At £175, can I just buy one and be included in the trial??

You probably need to ask whoever is conducting the trial.

The watch itself costs a huge amount. It’s £175 for the report that the watch generates.

Hi I already wear a Garmin smart watch this should be able to give them all the information that they need?

No, the PKG watch monitors changes in someone’s movement in relation to their levodopa doses throughout the day (or night if that’s the regime). From this, we can see if the levodopa (and it’s only programmed to levodopa- not other PD drugs) needs to be adjusted.

Do you think that an App might be released for Apple iPhones in due course? Best, Rob W

Yes, another not-quite-ready solution/treatment for PD. P.S. me-thinks the NHS are instructed to include 'hard-working' by their masters ;)
