"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.

MICHAEL J. FOX'S "ALWAYS LOOKING UP", THE FIRST WAY TO BEAT PARKINSON'S DISEASE

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 FIRST OF THE 26 ways to beat Parkinson's disease.

 

     ADOPT A POSITIVE ATTITUDE



"Natures Beauty"
From an original painted with the foot by S. Subadri

 " Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?... Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself."
         
                                                                                                     MATTHEW 6: 22-27, 34

Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's disease but he did not allow his PD to affect his attitude in life. Aside from being a good and well loved actor, he also became a #1 bestselling author. He wrote his second book "Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist" as a testimony to his positive outlook. In this book, he writes about the personal philosophy that has helped him breakthrough his darkest hours. He also discussed his experiences with others who have emerged from difficult periods with the same shared optimism.

In ‘The Oprah Winfrey’ show, he was interviewed by Dr. Oz about having Parkinson's disease. Fox explained that despite suffering from PD, he was still able to make a television appearance. Parkinson's disease did not stop him from living his life and fighting for his advocacy. He also has been married to Tracy Pollen for most of his life while battling PD and she has been his rock. His wife said that when Fox was diagnosed with PD, it has changed him from being a workaholic to someone who has more time to spend with her and with their children and valued that time, too. Fox also pointed out how their relationship has grown stronger because of Parkinson’s disease.

Look at being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease or PD as a gift or a blessing. It will serve as an eyeopener. You will finally face the truth that you have been living your life for the past years or even decades without any real purpose. Find your passion. Before PD, your worries are all superficial and fleeting like what dress to wear or shoes to buy, when to get a new car or buy the latest gadget.  You may have been planning for a great future for your family but you hardly spend time with them. You never enjoyed watching the sunrise or even the sunset. You've never had a real vacation because you always think that it is a waste of time. You've never slowed down and have joined the rat race so afraid that you would lose your esteemed position, power and even money at any moment that you slacken your pace. It has taken the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease to wake you up that you're taking on too much to handle and perhaps taking a lot of other things for granted, too. Now is the time to savor the tranquility of your surroundings, smell the flowers, walk the dog and spend more time with your family. Start to live for the moment rather than worry about tomorrow.

4 WAYS FOR HEALING OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE

Healing of any illness like Parkinson's disease or PD is possible through G-MEN (GOD, MEDICINE, EXERCISE and NUTRITION).

"I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect...Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor. Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer."      

                                                             

                                                                                           ROMANS 12: 1-2, 9-12

1. ADOPT A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN LIFE

 " Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?... Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself."

                                                                           

                                                                                         MATTHEW 6: 22-27, 34

Look at your illness as a gift or a blessing. It will open your eyes to the truth that you have been living your life for the past years without any real sense of direction. You're always worried about paying the bills, wondering what to wear, organizing an event or planning a great future for your family that you never really stopped and enjoyed the beauty of creation around you. You've always been busy and never slackened your pace even if your body has already shown signs of exhaustion. Perhaps, you might have had a near fatal accident but it didn't slow you down but only made you more careful. It has taken the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease to wake you up that you're taking on too much to handle and perhaps taking a lot of other things for granted, too. Now is the time to savor the tranquility of your surroundings, smell the flowers, walk the dog and spend more time with your family. Start to live for the moment rather than worry about tomorrow.
