NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Pharr, TX, United States, 02/20/2008 - Parkinson's Disease is a progressive movement disorder marked by tremors, rigidity, slow movements (bradykinesia), and posture instability. It occurs when cells in one of the movement-control centers of the brain begin to die for unknown reasons.

PD was first noted by British physician James Parkinson in the early 1800s.

Usually beginning in a person's late fifties or early sixties, Parkinson disease causes a progressive decline in movement control, affecting the ability to control initiation, speed, and smoothness of motion. Symptoms of PD are seen in up to 15% of those ages 65–74, and almost 30% of those ages 75–84.

Most cases of PD are sporadic. This means that there is a spontaneous and permanent change in nucleotide sequences (the building blocks of genes). Sporadic mutations also involve unknown environmental factors in combination with genetic defects. The abnormal gene (mutated gene) will form an altered end-product or protein. This will cause abnormalities in specific areas in the body where the protein is used. Some evidence suggests that the disease is transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance. This implies that an affected parent has a 50% chance of transmitting the disease to any child. This type of inheritance is not commonly observed. The most recent evidence is linking PD with a gene that codes for a protein called alpha-synuclein. Further research is attempting to fully understand the relationship with this protein and nerve cell degeneration.

Tim Donahoe has been a patient of Dr. Omar Gonzalez since April of 2007.

Background: Tim was employed by a home medical equipment company. He was the face for his employer with approximately 70 doctors. On a visit with a rural GP, he noticed a twitch in one of his fingers. His GP sent me to the motor function clinic at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. where he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Seeking a second opinion and in denial Tim went a year without treatment. That was July of 2001. He was 46 years old and at the top of his health and conditioning. He played mandolin and guitar in two bands, competed in track and field at a national level, and strength trained for his competitions. At this time Tim was bench pressing 245 lbs, deadlifted 445 lbs, and squat of 405 lbs.

After Tim's first year of denial, he finally accepted help and was prescribed Sinamet, Requip, and Amantadine. He began a world wide search for a cure. One was a Dr. in LA. He had harvested unmarked stem cells from his patient, marked the cells as neurons and after 8 months of lab cultivation, transplanted the cells back into the patients brain. Nearly 10 years later he shows no symptoms. Tim decided then that he wanted stem cells in his life. He found Dr. Gonzalez at the Integrative Medicine Center. Dr. Gonzalez had developed an exciting therapy imported from Europe. He has administered this treatment since 1989. The therapy involves a simple, yet powerful procedure.

The fact that PST (placenta / stem cell therapy) is very non-specific in nature makes it look like it is the "new panacea" about healing with the lack of credibility it involves. BUT as the very well documented :
• exercise ,
• good nutrition
• taking anti-oxidants

are also non- specific and are recommended for many different conditions, because they impact the most basic systems in our body:
• the immune system
• hormonal system
• circulation systems

the Placenta Stem cell Therapy optimizes those systems and can be used for many conditions.

Tim accepted treatment in April of 2007. Within a week his voice had improved...he was losing it and had surgery that pushed his vocal cords together. In about 2 weeks after treatment there was a HUGE difference in energy and stamina. His small motor control returned. Tim Donahoe started playing music again. And he started lifting and running. Tim won't tell you he's not 100 % of what he was (he is 53 now) nor will he tell you he is cured. What Tim will tell you is that he is as close to normal as he can hope to be. All of his symptoms are improved much more than they were prior to treatment.

Tim states "My path of greatness is flowing again. I would like to be drug free but that's not going to happen...yet. I plan to keep seeing Dr. Gonzalez until a cure is found.
