blending westwern medicine with alternative medicine

I cannot say I have spent any significant time looking at alternative treatments but I have been to an Indian massage therapist who tells me that Parkisnon's is related to gas--something I have never read in any of the literature. She recommended I make tea from fresh ginger which I have not tried but I will let you know.

But the other thing she suggested which seems sort of obvious but it has actually helped a lot with my symptoms is to control my posture. I drive a lot in the car and she made me realize I don't use good posture there and so I have focused on doing so and it has helped me to feel better overall. Same when I walk--I have always slumped forward a bit and she has me pulling my shoudlers back and neck down and that helps. She also has me doing neck stretches and I never realized how tight my nck was. All of these things have helped.
