Actor Michael J. Fox is known to millions for the "Back to the Future" films and the TV series "Family Ties" and "Spin City." But for the past two decades it's been his battle with Parkinson's disease, and his search for a cure, that may have generated the most attention. Looking back, he tells anchor Jane Pauley that sharing his battle publicly and joining with others to raise money has been "one of the great gifts of my life." He has launched an online study to help researchers develop new therapies for the disease. (This story was originally broadcast on October 29, 2017.)

@bethheinecamp1061 5 жыл бұрын

You are so right. I've read Michael's memoir 'Lucky Man' a few times now. Each time I re-read it, it becomes apparent that he really pushed his body to the extreme, for years and years. When you're healthy and young (20's let's say), you feel like you can do anything. But the body has limits, eventually. I think at one point he was working on 3 films at once. Hardly sleeping, not eating well, he used to smoke... this all catches up with you. I'm not a doctor, but in my humble opinion, his 'disease' was correlated to his excessiveness. I'll probably get attacked for saying that. But I sincerely believe our bodies will always communicate to us as a way to regain balance, and sometimes that becomes a 'disease'.

He has poured his efforts and money into research and finding a cure. He's continued to act. He's been married for 30 years and has four children. Since Parkinson's runs in my family, I especially appreciate his example and devotion. I also appreciate my mom's wonderful example, determined spirit and devotion. What wonderful heroes. Thanks, Mr. Fox. You are indeed involved in something great, and I hope a cure is found.

I have very bad and extremely good news for you. 64% of people with Tinnitus get Alzheimers. Good news is that you have aluminium intoxication which causes it. check KZfaq; 3 mineral waters that can get aluminium form the brain...

That moment she asked him " Show me what happens when you are still " and he just did it… was truly amazing! You can just tell he is not only fighting it but in control of it. It's just as he says, when you do more things at once brain just fires all these signals and thats what makes it noticeable. Pretty much reason why even during sleep it is the guaranteed moment for Parkinson's not even doing a single tick as part of the brain is not active ( which does affect movement of muscles ) else we wouldn't be able to sleep. What a good guy tho! Wishing them luck on pushing the research further, every step matters!

My husband is in his 16th year of PD, we got invited to a private Party in Brentwood to thank investors which we have done every year since his dad got PD. First person that met us at the door was Michael, he could obviously tell my husband has PD. He is very nice person and so happy for what the MJFF had done so far. We figure there won’t be a cure in our lifetime but hopefully for my kids, grandkids etc.. there will be a cure!

@@dmer-zy3rb My late Dad and Grandpa had Parkinsons/Lewy Bodies. Advanced Parkinsons terribly affects balance, it also contributes to tightening of leg tendons, leading some sufferers to walk on their tip toes. Coordinating the body can become a great challenge. I suppose, like many conditions, not every sufferer experiences the same number or intensity of symptoms.

I can understand how that young woman was encouraged to re-engage by Mr. Fox's book. Neurogical disease and injury is definitely not for sissies. I had a brain hemorrhage at 37. It was a before and after moment. Michael Fox is an inspiring profile in grace and courage.

My mother sold real estate in Vermont in the 1980s. He walked into her office early one Sunday morning to look at farms in the area. He was alone and introduced himself as "Mike". My mother spend half a day driving around with him and looking at available farms. She had no idea who he was until someone else saw him leaving the parking lot of the real estate agency and told her he was a film and tv star. She had figured that he worked on Wall Street since he was young, lived in New York and could afford a get away farm. :) She was also impressed with how unassmuming he was once she found out who he was.
