How the Current Paradigm Ignores Recovery Stories

Here is the latest episode of my conversation with Anne Helevik, who helped herself to recover from Parkinson’s. In this part, which covers how much better she now is compared to where she started, we also discuss how no one is interested in her story. This is something I hear and see over and over again with recovered people. This is why I started to collect recovery stories myself.

However, a few weeks ago, I heard that she got into contact with a neurologist, that will look into her case. That will be a shift in the Parkinson’s world.

Transcript

Lilian:

What you are describing it's nearly a change in personality type.

Anne:

Yes, absolutely and I'm very honest also now. I did a lot of work with old traumas I had from childhood. I realized I had some traumas that stopped me from developing.

It took two years for me to get rid of the old traumas. Actually. I haven't had contact with some relatives for two years now because I realized, I can never have someone to say “I'm sorry for that what happened to you when you were little.” I skipped that part, but I wanted to feel that I was not sad after talking to some relatives and so I didn't want them to impact me at all.

Lilian:

And you stopped all of them?

Anne:

No some, just some, and then when I felt that it was okay again, then I picked up the phone and called them, and I didn't feel sad anymore. It was fantastic they didn't have a place in my system anymore.

Lilian:

So someone of your relatives that had teased you when you were a child?

Anne:

It was a trauma. But I accepted it and put it away. I mean, not bury it in my body, but just put it away. I think that was really important because it released a lot of energy when doing that.

I think I have been feeling two feelings when I was younger. I'm afraid and I'm lonely. Now I don't feel those feelings. I don't feel alone, I'm not afraid and I can do whatever I want. I released so much energy. I dare to do more things that I'd never done before. I'm not afraid of anything, that's the biggest relief I think.

Lilian:

When I help people with this trauma reduction, I have a saying that you “come closer and closer to your authentic self.”

Anne:

Exactly.

So now I can say that every day when I wake up, I feel like a child for seven, eight years, the first day in summer, I mean.

I feel so much joy, that my stomach is aching almost, I feel so much joy, it's so much to do. I got my life back, I'm so happy.

Breaking the old myths about chronic illness is the first step and the reason I started collecting survivor stories. Yes, you can reduce symptoms by addressing the stress in your life. The shortcut is to stand on the foundation of knowledge I have built

Lilian:

That's amazing. What does your neurologist say?

Anne:

I haven't seen her for five years, because first the corona. But this year, I feel I was too healthy to meet someone.

Lilian:

Has anyone been interested in your story?

Anne:

No. No. I see that no one is interested, actually.

Lilian:

I found it interesting that no one is picking up.

You said that there's not a lot of people that become better and I replied we don't know because no one is collecting [recovery stories]. No one is asking the whole Parkinson’s community how are your symptoms, have you got worse have you got better, how is your medication. So we have no idea, we are kept in the dark.

I've met a lot of people who are still on their first doses or have no symptoms, so we have no idea about this.

Anne:

I met a Parkinson’s nurse instead, and she did a lot of tests on me and I got zero. I mean no symptoms for most of the time. I just have some stiffness in my foot and my hand. that's all, nothing else.

Five years ago, I had tremors all day long, all night long and it was so much that if I got upset I had to sit on my hands because I couldn't just stand there. It was terrible and I had tremors in my jaw so my teeth just clapped. It was very unpleasant I mean.

When you were out with people, I had to say to them that I have Parkinson's because otherwise they got nervous. They didn't know what was happening to me if I got upset or if I was nervous.

I didn't want to have L-Dopa medicine. I didn't want it. I had it the first year, 500 milligrams of Madopar, every day and my doctor said, I probably needed more, but I reduced it in a year, by myself not speaking to my doctor at all.

We have survived as a species for 100,000 years without drugs. We can do it too. No stress, give your immune system back its powers. And your body can go into the rest and digest mode that will stop the symptoms.

Lilian:

Why did you do that?

Anne:

Because I felt that it was very ups and downs all the time. It just worked for me one hour and then I got worse, and then it was up and down, and I felt that it can't be good for the system to have this up and down, up and down all the time, and I needed more and more. Dopamine was wrong for my body. I thought that the less meds the better.

Lilian:

So how did you dare to go against your doctor?

Anne:

Because I had to because I wanted to get well again. I had to try to reduce l-dopa, at least.

I have a full list of symptoms I had, and I don't feel anything at all about stiffness limping fatigue, or tense muscle in my neck. I don’t feel weak, I feel strong again. I jump out of bed in the morning, I have no problem at all with nothing. I feel 100% healthy from Parkinson’s.

Learn how Anne recovered and start your journey to better health.

The HOPE Course is based on my 10,000 hours of study on how to get better the natural way. This course is the reason for my collaboration with

Gary Sharpe

, who has found the same to be true through his ongoing self-healing process.

Giving this course to a loved one in need is a way to support both them and us. The principles are the same regardless of symptoms and diagnoses. Natural stress reduction is the key.

Review of HOPEshortcut online course

The course provides the evidence that PD and many other diseases are significantly affected by stress and trauma, and instead of focusing on “curing” the disease, helps people to reduce any stress in their life, and explains how taking this biological perspective, one can do a lot to minimize symptoms. It is the pragmatic outcome of five years of collected knowledge about people worldwide improving their health, combined with the knowledge of Lilian’s theory about diseases.

In short, I feel that the material presented in the course is not only unique and extraordinary but also highly empowering for people with PD. Lilian has obviously put an awful lot of time and effort into it. Indeed, in total there are hours of video presentation, together with a lot of other media and supporting resources. The videos are presented in a very clear and well-paced voice, easy to understand and accessible, illustrated by Lilian’s own life experiences, and anecdotes of the successes she has had already helped people with Diseases.

In addition to the videos, are daily encouragements, a vast library of everything Lilian herself studied along the way, a unique stress test to assess which state (calm, flight, fight, freeze) one tends to spend the most time in, and what to it about, and an English translation of a chapter on feelings from her book in Danish.
