John Coleman is a Victorian naturopath who has a remarkable story. He commenced his naturopathic practice at the end of 1998 after being diagnosed with advanced Parkinson’s disease and early-stage Multi System Atrophy in 1995 then going on to achieve recovery to remain symptom free today, not cured, but free of all symptoms.
John talks about his recovery from Parkinsons Disease and answers questions about the therapies, including Bowen Therapy that made a difference to his own recovery as well as his patients. Many people and their loved ones on hearing that they have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease see an inevitable, bleak future. John has something to say to these people. He has spent many years now assisting hundreds of other sufferers of this cruel disease to improve their health, reverse their symptoms and reduce medication usage, using the natural regimen he used to help himself.
My next step was full time care! But there was no way I was going to accept that.
