Re: Advanced Parkinsons?

“When the man with Parkinson’s came in, his leg was tapping the floor so hard, it sounded like
a jackhammer.”
SCHULZE: When he was in my office, I thought he was hammering something. I realized that it was the combination
of his knee hitting the top of the desk and his foot bouncing on the floor. He was pretty uptight, but he couldn’t stop, and
his right hand was shaking.
B: What did you do for the shaking?
SCHULZE: I think the thing that we did different for him would be the nervine herbs; but we did a lot of hot and cold,
which really helped.
I had him get a lot of body work down the spine, and on that arm, and on that leg to free up any muscles that
could be tight. We all have tight muscles that pinch our nerves. We also did the herbs externally, also, we did a lot of
the anti-spasmodic herbs like lobelia fomentation.
B: You did lobelia fomentation?
SCHULZE: On the leg, on the arm. We cooked a big pot of strong lobelia tea. I would say a quart pot — we probably
had a handful of fresh lobelia. What we did is bring that pot to a boil, put the lobelia in, and shut it off, because you don’t
want to simmer lobelia. You just want to put it in boiling water and let it go.
B: Did you soak towels in it?
SCHULZE: Yes, we soaked towels in it and that give him great relief. He was actually having pain on the nerves.
He also had herpes zoster shingles. That was quite painful, and the lobelia really helped with that. Then, we also started
adding in black cohosh, skullcap, and we used these herbs internally too.

B: Why black cohosh?
SCHULZE: Black cohosh works very well internally for any type of nervous disease or spasm.
I’ve used black cohosh and I’ve seen epilepsy go away, where a person doesn’t have any attacks due to brain
injury or brain tumor.
With him, he felt relief even though, the next time he came, I didn’t detect much of a difference. But he said there
was a tremendous difference. He said he noticed a 50% difference. Maybe it was just when he was sitting in my office,
you know, and I wasn’t used to seeing someone banging their leg so much and moving their hands.
I would say with him it was about 30 days into it when I started noticing it. By the third time, I was noticing that
he could breathe, relax, let his muscles relax, and there would be vibration. But it wasn’t like smashing the floor and the
desk in my office.
We had him on large doses of black and blue cohosh, blue vervain, skullcap, lobelia, skunk cabbage, wild yam,
the B&B tincture, separate doses of lobelia, a lot of juices for him. He also did some deep bodywork on the spine.
B: Did you put the fomentations along the spine?
SCHULZE: He did them on this whole body. He really got into it. He was even taking baths in these herbs.
B: Oh, so people can do that?
SCHULZE: Absolutely. If you’ve got a lot of areas to cover. He would fill up a bathtub about halfway and put in some
salts and things, and then toss in that while pot with the lobelia, cohosh roots — the whole thing right into the bathtub —
and take an herbal tea soak.
B: Blue vervain or just the cohosh?
SCHULZE: We used them all. We used the whole B&B formula. The key four are black cohosh, the lobelia, wild yam
and skunk cabbage.
They are real miracle workers. Blue vervain and the blue cohosh. I don’t use blue cohosh that much, except
for women. It’s the old squaw root. It is a really good one right before they are going to have a baby. It does have a great
history, but the black cohosh, the lobelia, are just wonderful for the spasms. And, of course, his thing was he was a
horrible eater. This guy had horrible digestion — and constipation.
B: You took care of all that?
SCHULZE: You know, it’s amazing. To get your system to function this badly, you must have had years of minor
dysfunctions that were ignored. He had hemorrhoids from constipation. Instead of doing something about it, he had the
hemorrhoid operation.
B: Did he ever get cure?
SCHULZE: Yes, absolutely. No doctor ever said, “you don’t have it anymore,” but he got to where he had no tremors
at all. No tremors in his leg. No tremors in his arm. He was thrilled about it because he didn’t want to retire, but he
couldn’t write anymore. When he tried to write, it looked like an electroencephalogram across the piece of paper.
B: But he got to where he could write?
SCHULZE: He got to where he could write, walk, and had no twitching.
B: How long? Over a year?
SCHULZE: I’m going to say in less than that. I’m going to say 6-8 months to where it was gone, but then occasionally,
at night, he would be sitting in his chair and the tremors would come back.
It was up and down, but it was all going downward. I think in about 6 or 8 months he had no tremors at all. They
would come back once a week, then once every 10 days.
I’m sure by the end of a year he wasn’t having anything. He again had some relapses. Of course, it was when
he had gone to someone’s house for his birthday, or whatever, and eaten some horrible good and gotten a little
constipated. I always see this.
One thing that’s great is when your body gets this ill, you can get it better. But if you get too far off track, the
same thing just comes back. But what’s amazing about it is when the patient sees that. They get the point really good. Tweet
