A man suffering from Parkinson's disease was housebound, barely able to function. Then, a surgical treatment performed by Dr. Ali Rezai, which implanted electrodes in his brain, transformed his life, Morley Safer reported in 2002. This Sunday, 60 Minutes looks at Dr. Rezai's new approaches to treating Alzheimer's and addiction.

This is incredibly good news! And I need to comment that there’s a great interview on KZfaq of a PD patient, an older guy who had advanced problems bc of the disease, after many years, he was declining a lot. So he went on a keto diet, as an experiment, and found that he got better and better, and better, reversing the neurological damage, and is now 90 or 95% improved!!!. It’s very very hopeful news! And I hope every person who is suffering w/ PD finds the story on YT.

The surgery can now be done while asleep. Both electrodes can be implanted in a single surgery in cases and sometimes even the generator. Also it is being done much earlier in the persons progression to give better benefits.

For those of you wondering. Del Maxson died January 25, 2015 at the age of 68 from a “lengthy illness”. There’s no mention of Parkinson’s in his obituary. Also the family “request memorial donations be made to a canine rescue and humane society.” Maybe I’m just reading too much into this but if this was such a great thing for him and his family don’t you think it would have been mentioned in the obituary and donations be made to medical “stuff”? Again I’m probably reading too much into it…. This is just sad though. I really want to believe this worked for him.

Lost my mom 6 years ago to a 21 year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. The Dyskinesia was brutal as were the Requip and Carbo/Levo. The problem with the surgery is that it’s a bandage and doesn’t cure the disease and eventually the issues come back. The memory goes even with the surgery. A temporary fix.

Senator No said no. We are far behind where we should be because of the pharmaceutical-industrial complex.

My husband was misdiagnosed with PD. He has essential tremors. My advice is simple: Get a second opinion or even a third or fourth one. My husband was on carbadopa/levodopa for over a year all the while never actually having PD. The second neurologist we found ordered a DatScan which confirmed that he had been misdiagnosed. Upon further research I discovered that the percentage of misdiagnosis of PD is 30%!!
