Diagnosed with Parkinson's, his own mother took a variety of prescription drugs to treat her symptoms, her depression and other problems.

Robert left university life in 2003 to create Zero Point Healers so he could pursue his interest in discovering natural remedies and therapies that heal disease. Since 2005 he has focused on helping persons with Parkinson's find relief from their symptoms using natural methods and approaches.
