The story of my my five-year journey with Parkinson’s disease. It starts with the diagnosis and the dreadful declaration by the neurologist that the causes of Parkinson’s Disease remains a mystery, which is used to justify why there are currently no medications to impede or halt its progression. While this news dealt a heavy blow to the “patient”, it presented a profound challenge for the “researcher” to find out what really drives the progression of Parkinson’s disease, a topic that still evades most practicing neurologists. It soon became evident that leading researchers possess sufficient knowledge about the root causes of Parkinson’s disease to pinpoint potential drug targets for slowing its progression. It’s clear that individuals with Parkinson’s are not being fully informed about the truth of their condition.

Join me on this amazing journey where I present the experts who have helped me create a cutting-edge model for the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. Together, we have developed a new method based on a powerful plant-based molecule to combat these challenges. Since the beginning of 2020, I have been using and refining this method with positive results, and sharing progress with a small group of people with Parkinson’s.

You will learn how the pharmaceutical industry neglects the crucial steps in driving Parkinson’s Disease progression and focuses only on symptomatic therapies. People with Parkinson’s will understand why disease-modifying therapies are unlikely to be developed by the pharmaceutical industry in their lifetime.

This research was made possible by a remarkable community of people with Parkinson’s dedicated to conducting their own research on sulforaphane to slow the progression of their own Parkinson’s disease. After only four years, this project has already achieved its initial goals. The mechanisms targeted (the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway) and their impact on Parkinson’s disease are now well understood and validated. The research on optimizing the yield of sulforaphane in broccoli seed tea from a standard seed source is now complete.
