Fui diagnosticada com doença de Parkinson há quatro anos. Por mais de dois anos, dependi da levodopa e de vários outros medicamentos, mas, infelizmente, os sintomas continuaram piorando. Os tremores se tornaram mais perceptíveis e meu equilíbrio e mobilidade começaram a declinar rapidamente. No ano passado, por desespero e esperança, decidi experimentar um programa de tratamento à base de ervas da NaturePath Herbal Clinic.Sinceramente, eu estava cética no início, mas, poucos meses após o início do tratamento, comecei a notar mudanças reais. Meus movimentos ficaram mais suaves, os tremores diminuíram e me senti mais firme ao caminhar. Incrivelmente, também recuperei grande parte da minha energia e confiança. Tem sido uma experiência transformadora. Me sinto mais eu mesma novamente, melhor do que me sentia há anos. Se você ou um ente querido está lutando contra a doença de Parkinson, recomendo muito que você considere a abordagem natural deles. Você pode visitar o site deles em www. naturepathherbalclinic .com
