Five steps to recovery make all the difference when it comes to success
The best news of the year is that anyone can take them
As a seasoned researcher, I wanted to take on a research project that was the challenge of all challenges, a project that no one else thought could be beneficial to persons confronting chronic illness. After dabbling with one project idea after another, researching how Parkinsons disease can be healed from the inside out has become my passion.
Parkinsons has profoundly affected my family. My mother was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. My uncle was also diagnosed. I accepted their fate at the time, a fate that doctors said would inevitably lead to perpetual decline and illness.
Everyone seemed to be saying the same thing: “Parkinsons is degenerative”. You don’t get better. One day I woke up and the insight flashed: It is not true. People can and do heal from Parkinsons. The body does know how to heal itself. It just needs a little help remembering how.
I launched an aggressive research program to identify the therapies, modalities and approaches that are helping people with the symptoms of Parkinsons. I stumbled on people who are symptom free today after experiencing symptoms that were debilitating.

My research has documented person after person who have taken positive action on one natural option or another. As a result more and more people with Parkinsons have been reversing their symptoms. These are indeed exciting times to be alive.

A missing piece of the puzzle continued to flop around in my mind. What is the root cause of Parkinsons? Toxins and trauma are clearly factors.
Still I asked myself, is there something deeper here – something at the core of it all – something that causes the neurological system to misfire day after day? The answer to the puzzle came to me in a flash of insight.
Thoughts are the most powerful force in the universe – more powerful than nuclear power, more powerful than the combined weapons of all the armies in the world. Thoughts can heal. Thoughts can also create illness. We make choices every moment about what thoughts to have and what thoughts to silence.
This profound insight gave birth to Five Steps to Recovery, a book that identifies five critical steps that are necessary to transform thought forms that do not serve your best and highest good.


People who celebrate sustained recovery have that special ability to be positive and upbeat. They are convinced anything is possible.
What inflames symptoms is the hamster wheel of negative thoughts about the prospects for recovery. Repetitive negative thoughts sprout and sustain symptoms.
Thoughts that are destructive to our health are often not conscious! They whisper at us so quietly we cannot quite make them out. Our body always hears the assaults of negativity them even when our conscious minds do not.
