Does Parkinson’s Disease Start Outside the Brain?

Parkinson's Disease & Enteric Nervous System
Delmis (Del) Duncan

What a fascinating post. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist that uses meditation along with hypnosis as a means to connect with the body as a whole; not just hypnotic suggestion of the head brain. I use deep meditation ---www.divinecolor.net--to connect the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system with the enteric system. When this is accomplished my client(s) are able to recall the hysteria of frightful events (such as rape) to connect memory with the escape mechanism of the Enteric Nervous System. In doing so, the muscles of the intestines relax, thereby allowing the individual to get back to the natural state of Rest & Digest. This article makes sense; that constipation plays a big role in Parkinson's. I have Primal Scream Therapy Workshops around the Los Angeles area using meditation, then hypnosis to relieve enteric disorders. I now plan on creating a workshop for individuals with mild Parkinson's to relax stored stress in the ENS. In my opinion, many nervous system disorders start in the enteric system first, since it is exposed. Thank you for a fine article.
