Shaking/Trembling Hands (Page 1 of 2)

Hi whywhywhy,

I thought Parkinson's too when I read your post.  But I hesitate to write this, because I believe the human mind is a very powerful thing......more powerful than most of us realize.  If a disease is in the family, we're subconsciously already going to be look out for signs of it manifesting within us, so programmed are we to believe in the concept of inherited genetic problems.   So while Parkinson's came to mind as I read your post, I don't want to encourage the idea of you "looking for" or somehow expecting it to manifest, like a self-fullfilling prophesy.  For women, "breast cancer" is one of those things that we're inundated to be fearful for and always vigilant of.   I think this in itself causes a mindset that triggers it within many people.

For more information, I'd look into the works of Dr. Bruce Lipton, specifically a video he did that's available for free download on files.noblerealms.net, called "The Biology of Perception."    He's a very fascinating speaker, real high energy, will guarantee to keep your interest for the entire presentation.  It's all about human genetics, and how our own beliefs, attitudes and perceptions triggers our DNA to activate certain diseases and ailments.   He explains the entire process from beginning to end of how this comes about, it's truly fascinating to watch.   Dr. Lipton used to be very scientifically-minded, not a new age person at all, but his research and observations were pointing to the inevitable conclusion that we have a HUGE hand in determining our own health.   You just have to watch it to see, it's much better than how I'm describing it here.    Again, it's available for free in the files section, check it out if you have a chance.

I'll conclude with a question about diet........What sort of diet do you have?  Specifically, I'm wondering if you have a diet that involves consumption of diet drinks, (aspartame) and / or frequent "junk" stuff?   The actor Michael J. Fox has pretty much linked his early onset of Parkinson's with his near addictive consumption of diet soda back in the 80's.  He's pretty convinced there's some sort of link.   Just a random thought that popped into my head.   I think looking at one's diet is a good place to start though.   If there's any junk going on, then an overhaul should be a priority of consideration. 

Check out the thread I started in this same section if you'd like called "Sickness...it's all in the head!"  Not a complete end-all be-all on the subject, but it delves into the human mind's part in our health and well being.   

Hope that helps...

Also, in addition to what is already suggested, you can get a sample of your hair tested by a holistic practitioner who uses such methods to find what nutritional deficiencies your body may have as well what contaminants your may body may be high in. Such as heavy metals and what not. Canned drinks, for examples, contain aluminum leached from their containers, bottles waters contain high levels of PVC, tuna and other fish contain high levels of mercury, and the list goes on. All of these affect the nervous system and endocrine system leading to symptoms you describe. There is alot of info out there, and frankly it is a big can of worms. I work at a nutrition store and talk with alot of people about many different conditions and the process they go through in narrowing down what exactly it is they are dealing with. It may be something very simple. The best way to approach it is starting with the obvious as these other kind folks have mentioned. Nutrition and immediate contaminants. Read some books and websites in reference to your symptoms. Cross referencing any info you gleen with the folks here and experienced nutritionists or people encountered at a good nutrition store can save you time, confusion, and money. And I say from alot of experience, don't dive headlong into the lastest and greatest thing if you know what I mean. There are alot of sales gimmicks that can sweep you from the obvious and the simple. I, as well others here, take a great deal of interest on this subject and are willing to help where need be. Maybe I should speak for myself, but I believe this is true. Listen to your body and when you find an element, physical or nonphysical, that brings relief to your situation you know you are on the right track. Hope this helps you some.

Although you might have a hard time finding one in Mobile, I'd look for a real Chinese (from China) accupuncturist - you might find one in Birmingham though.  I've had incredible success with various ailments with accupuncture HOWEVER not all accupuncturists are created equal <duh> and my experience has been unless the practitioner has had lots and lots of experience it will basically do nothing OR worse -- make things worse.

Although Houston isn't next door to Mobile, I'd consider going there once a week, if possible, to see the practioner I saw -- she's a third generation accupuncturist from China and she's incredible.

Email me privately if you are interested in her name and location.

Is there a local or nearby health food/nutrition store? Here, there are two where local papers are distributed and have sections where nutritionalists/consultants place their business ads with phone numbers and what they offer. Maybe there is something like this in your area. You may also find their business cards and pamphlets on some posting station at these stores. Even ask people that work there, if they seem to have a clue. And for that matter, check the yellow pages under health or nutrition listings.
I reiterate, start with the simple things first. One thing that occured to me is to notice "when" the symptoms occur, around a meal or some ingested substance or lack thereof.

. . . and here is my info by the way if anybody knows people in the Phoenix area. .

. . . I did?!

Fine by me.
