SHAKY PAST

John Coleman recovered from stage IV Parkinson’s disease! Impossible? No, this really happened.

By August 1995, John had lost his power of speech and was wondering how he could go on living. Suffering symptoms of stage IV Parkinson’s disease and early stage Multi-system Atrophy, diagnosed by five medical and complementary practitioners, he was unable to walk more than 5 metres without assistance, and took up to an hour and a half to dress himself. Severely dissatisfied with the treatment and prognosis he received from western medical practitioners, John decided to pursue other pathways to health. With the aid of improved food choices and lifestyle, Homeopathy, Aqua Hydration Formulas, Bowen Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Flower Essences, Counselling, Meditation and Spiritual Development, John was completely symptom-free by April 1998.

Shaky Past tells his story from birth, through Parkinson’s disease, recovery, and finding new happiness and meaning in life. Parts of the story may bring tears, sadness or anger; some will bring smiles or even laughter. Like all good stories, it has a happy ending

Shaky Past is not intended as a text book for recovery from degenerative disorders. Rather, it is the story of an ordinary man who had an extraordinary adventure, and chooses to share that adventure with others.

Strategies for reversing Parkinson’s disease can be found in John’s first book “Stop Parkin’ and Start Livin’ – reversing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease”, also available on Amazon.

John now lives in rural Victoria, Australia with his wife Nichol, conducts Naturopathic Clinics while continuing to assist other health practitioners and members of the public whenever he can. “Stop Parkin’ and Start Livin’ – Reversing The Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease”, was published by Michelle Anderson in 2005, has since been read in many countries.
