MICHAEL J. FOX VS. MUHAMMAD ALI, THE THRILLA OF PD

Through the words of the Holy Bible, the Greatest Book ever written in the world, you will find the answer to your greatest need, the miracle of healing in THE THIRD WAY to beat Parkinson's disease.




"The King"
From an original painted with the mouth by B. Peardon


BE COURAGEOUS



" Lively is the courage of those who fear the Lord, for they put their hope in their savior; He who fears the Lord is never alarmed, never afraid; for the Lord is his hope... The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him; he is their mighty shield and strong support. A shelter from the heat, a shade from the noonday sun. a guard against stumbling, a help against falling. He bouys up the spirits, brings a sparkle to the eyes, gives health and life and blessing."

                                                                        SIRACH 34: 13-14, 16-17







Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali are both courageour warriors in their fight to beat Parkinson's disease. Despite his size and youthful appearance, Fox has remained relentless and focused in his advocacy to find a cure for Parkinson's disease.  He has faced a lot of odds and even censure from many American Republicans in his rally to use stem cells in the treatment of PD. You may not condone his principle but you can admire his tenacity in his pursuit for total healing. Ali is a well known boxer and even called himself  "The Greatest".  He has survived and continued to this day to support several causes for PD awareness. He has also joined forces with Fox in raising funds to help the cause of PD. They are both brave because they have not allowed their PD to hamper their abilities and capacity to make a difference in the world.

Mark Rutherford said that: "When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger."

Parkinson's disease may present as any one of the four cardinal symptoms, namely, resting tremors, postural instability, muscle rigidity and slow movement. If you are a person afflicted with PD, you must have the courage to move your fingers and be creative because the tremors disappear when your hands are busy. Be brave to stop and brace yourself despite getting stares from innocent bystanders so as not to fall when your posture stoops. Don't be afraid to lift your leg and march in place when your muscles freeze so that you can move forward. Don't be scared when you want to take time just to sit down so as to ensure that your bottom hit the seat right.

Courage is not the absence of fear but having the guts to try and overcome the problems involved in simple body movements and doing your best to circumvent the difficulty and hopefully delay the progression of your Parkinson's disease.

BREAKTHROUGH PARKINSON'S DISEASE A.S.A.P.2





April is the international month for Parkinon's Disease or PD. How do you deal with having an illness like PARKINSON'S DISEASE or PD, especially if you're still young and agile as Michael J. Fox, the famous star of the movie, "Back to the Future" series? It would not be easy having your life completely affected and altered by the disease that would hamper your movement, speech and even memory.

You may have gone through it in A.S.A.P2., not just as soon as possible, but through ANGER, SORROW, ACCEPTANCE, PEACE AND PRAYER.

ANGER

" My own utterance I will not restrain; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness Of my soul. Am I the sea, or a monster of the deep, that you place a watch over me? Why have you set me up as an object of attack; or why should I be a target for you? When I say, " My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint," Then you affright me with dreams and with visions terrrify me, so that I should prefer choking and death rather than pains."

                                                                                               JOB 7: 11-15



When was your revelation time? Did you just wake up one morning noticing that your right hand is shaking at rest? You could hardly hold a cup of coffee without worrying that the hot liquid will spill on your fingers and scald you. It was totally unexpected and shocking! You had to summon all your will power to act normal and unaffected as you went through your daily routine of driving from your house to your private office. You went through the day's tasks and attended every meeting and couldn't wait to go home and pondered on your discovery. Maybe your first thought was ANGER. You shed tears of frustration because you've got the feeling that the resting tremors were not just due to lack of sleep or exhaustion. Perhaps you asked God why it had to happen when you've just been getting close to Him. Or maybe you've also decided to serve in a ministry and finally adopted a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy and exercising.
