Hitendra, sorry to hear about your suffering. LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)has helped some but unfortunately seems to only work for a while..you are may respond better.. some info: http://www.webspawner.com/users/treatingpdwithldn/index.html

it appears there is a movement behind this drug by the patients not the industry. Do some research.

For Hitendra in India:

Transdermally applied magnesium chloride helped very much with the stiffness my dad had with Parkinson’s. What is most interesting though is the pathologist who did the autopsy after my father’s death said that my father did not even have Parkinson’s but an infectious agent that caused encephalitis which eventually caused his death.

I wonder if you can go to a specialist in vector borne infectious disease to rule this out as a cause of your Parkinson’s? It may not be so easy and cost effective to do these types of tests. They are not done in the U.S. with the very best health care.

Please learn about transdermal magnesium oil and how to use it. I think it will help you.

Transdermal Magnesium Oil for Stiffness of Parkinson's

For Hitendra in India having Parkinson's symptoms I will share an experience taking care of my father who had stiffness and tremors. I learned about magnesium oil. At first I used a product in a spray bottle which was something like ocean minerals. I sprayed it on my Dads' feet. I thought I noticed a slight relaxation. Soon I progressed to making magnesium oil from pure magnesium flakes and water. The magnesium flakes may be purchased at a salt water aquarium hobby store.

I put homemade magnesium oil liberally on my father's body. I made about a 50% concentration of magnesium flakes to water by adding the water first and then putting the flakes into the water until the water level rose to 50% higher.

The magnesium is a salt and so if you have open cuts you will want to avoid them as it will sting a bit. My Dad never had stinging which is interesting to me.

The magnesium oil can be a bit messy. I've recently become complacent about using and I can tell the difference too. I love the relaxation that is a side effect of using transdermal magnesium. If you are wanting relief from tremors and stiffness I recommend using the apply liberally approach and put up with the mess.

Also Epsom salt baths may help as Epsom salts is magnesium sulfate and will absorb through the skin from the bath water. If you can't get in the bath, you can take an Epsom salt foot bath as often as possible.

The most effective remedy for stiffness in my experience is the liberal application of magnesium oil on the body, including the scalp. Some people wash this off after a certain amount of time. I did not frequently wash the magnesium oil off my father except during baths.

I hope this helps.

Jane
