Stanford PD Community Blog

The Parkinson and Movement Disorder (PMD) Alliance hosted a webinar on the “Naturopathic Approach to PD” by speaker Dr. Laurie Mischley, a naturopathic doctor who has done extensive research into nutrient deficiencies found in Parkinson’s disease (PD). She spoke about naturopathic medicine, essential nutrients in PD, and other types of deficiencies that patients should also try to address, such as sleep and social interaction. We at Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach listened to the webinar and are sharing our notes. 

A recent webinar from Neuroscience News & Research (NNR), part of Technology Networks, featured neurologist Dr. Roger Barker from the University of Cambridge (UK).  Dr. Barker discussed the present state and future potential of therapies that could allow for actual healing of the brain in Parkinson’s disease (PD).  We at Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach listened to the webinar and are sharing our notes.
