We are listening to Dr. Norman Doidge's book, 'The Brain's Way of Healing'. In it John Pepper proves how vigorous exercise reduced his Parkinson's Disease symptoms to such a degree that some doctors accused him of not having the illness. However, when he injured himself and couldn't exercise, all his symptoms came flooding back. Lots of research has been done with mice in which they create Parkinson's symptoms. When the mice are given an enriched environment and a running wheel, their symptoms subsided. Along with exercise and fast walking, John Pepper used conscious thought to train his body to do things in a different way, to retrain the brain and make new connections. Exercise is proving to be more effective than the drugs for healing such serious illnesses. Not just Parkinson's, but other illnesses as well. However, it does take a strong desire to heal, that is paramount.
