<h1>I Need a Pocketful of Posies!</H1>

On one forum, a newly diagnosed victim posed the question,"Does anyone know what natural remedies are available to treat PD?" or words to that effect. The answer is, of course, there are none. I know because during D-day (diagnosis day) plus one year, I tried them all and came to the generalized conclusion that the more natural remedies that are being pushed, the more likely the condition is incurable. In mathematical terms, there is a direct relationship between natural remedies and incurability. Sorry folks, in my opinion natural remedies for PD is the equivalent of snake oil for cancer. Use them if you must. They may do some good by distracting you from your predicament.

The future sounds bleak doesn't it? Incurable is an ugly word. Well greet the future with gusto because, I have come to believe there is an inverse relationship between optimism and the speed at which PD consumes us. As optimism increases, the speed of deterioration decreases. Think healthy and enter the future boldly. It's like chicken soup for a cold. Can't help. Can't hurt.

Beware of the dichotomy facing us. The belief in the efficacy of natural remedies and the notion that natural remedies are a scam, cannot live in the same mind at the same time. They cancel each other out. As a professor of mine used to say, "You can't suck and blow at the same time."

For PWP, the daily contest between optimistic thinking and pessimism can make our lives quite chaotic.

Who cares!

Chaos is great!
