Dear Alyssa, I saw this on the website and
ReplyDeletehad to contact you. I came across an herbal remedy when looking for help with Alzheimers
disease. This remedy that I came across also says that it helps with Parkinsons. I have nothing to do with the company or promoting the product. I just thought I would pass the info along and then you can do the same. Product is called Boswellin+Curcumin C3 w/Bioperine and I got it at Ageless Cures.
Parkinson disease has been ongoing in my family for long..I lost both parents to Parkinson and it is so much pain have not been able to get over. As we all know medically,there is no solution or cure for Parkinson disease and the cost for Medication is very expensive..Someone introduced me to a herbal Clinic(Native Medical Practitioner)in S.A.. i have spent thousands of dollars on medication..I said i will like to try them cos someone introduced me to them..they asked me sorts of questions and i answered back correctly..To cut the story short,they gave me some medicinal herbs and instructed me on how to apply theml..At first i was skeptical but i just gave it a try..I was on this herbal Medication for 4 weeks and i used the herbs according to the prescription..i decided to visit my doctor for another test..Honestly speaking, i never believe all he was saying until after the test when my doctor mention the statement that am Parkinson disease negative and my doctor was shocked as well....If you are out there suffering from this deadly disease you can also contact them via email: Healthherbalclinic@gmail.com or website on www.Healthherbalclinic.weebly.com
