Parkinson's Disease

The Greatest Medical Blunder

By Autoimmune Specialist Noel Batten

My Personal Victory Over Disease

My mother and I were told that I was the sickest teenager being treated at the Royal Brisbane Hospital, during the year I was treated at age 13, and that I would never overcome my Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis and Bronchitis, but I did, with oxygen therapies

At age 13, I was told I was the sickest teenager attending the Royal Brisbane Hospital in 1961, for that year, and I was told by several medical doctors and a neurologist who was respected as being one of the best in Australia, that I will never live a normal life again and that it was essential for me, never to exert myself, and never to stop taking the dilantin, phenobarb, and several other pharmaceutical drugs I was prescribed, for the rest of my life. I soon discovered that I actually "needed" to exert myself, in order to encourage blood to get to the part of my brain that was lacking, to cause my epileptic seizures. When I felt an epileptic seizure coming on, if I exerted myself by lifting weights and blowing a party balloon up to improve the oxygen content of my body, the oncoming seizure went away. Using this approach enabled me to completely stop taking my pharmaceutical medications and when I did that, I became more energetic and my emotions came back to normal. This lead me to a complete recovery and due to my continued training, I eventually developed enough lung strength to blow a hot water bottle up, until it bursts, a feat that I still do to this day, at the age of sixty.

The Pharmaceutical Drugs I Was Being Prescribed, Nearly Killed Me
I was prescribed a concoction of eight different pills, which I soon believed was nothing but "poison", and I began to lose all emotion and started to develop constant headache and nausea, on top of all the debilitating symptoms of my diseases. Due to this horrendous experience, even at age thirteen, I knew there had to be a better way to cope with my problems, so I started asking my doctors, Dr Dines and Dr Elliott, every question I could possibly think of, and I started to read as many books on health, that I could, with the specific intention of getting totally better, even though the hospital doctors told me it was impossible for me to ever overcome my problems.

After finishing being supervised by the hospital doctors and being placed under the supervision of my family doctor, Dr Charles Elliott, and then meeting an amazing weightlifter, Rudy Droste, who taught me the healing power of oxygen and how to focus properly with my mind, I learned that we, as individuals, have an amazing potential, not only to heal ourselves, but also to achieve many things in life that we so easily assume impossible to achieve. Overcoming these terrible diseases at such a young age, was by far, the greatest thing that could have ever happened to me, as it taught me, never to limit my thinking, or my desire to achieve.

Most Medical Doctors And Natural Therapists Are Missing The Point
While studying to become a qualified natural therapist and attending workshops in orthodox medicine while contemplating a medical career, I soon concluded, when it comes to autoimmune disorders, the natural therapy industry and the orthodox health system are often so quick to promote vitamins and drugs, they are missing the point.

While studying to become a qualified natural therapist and attending workshops in orthodox medicine while contemplating a medical career, I soon concluded, when it comes to autoimmune disorders, the natural therapy industry and the orthodox health system are often so quick to promote vitamins and drugs, they are missing the point.

What good are vitamins if the stomach is not digesting vitamins, the body is lacking oxygen, misaligned vertebra are stopping organs from receiving healthy nerve signals and the mind is not achieving R.E.M. sleep, the only time our body can store energy and repair our damaged cells. And what good are drugs if they don't cure, and they add additional side effects to these original problems?

My understanding of how to rectify the digestive system and improve R.E.M. sleep and other natural functions of the body that actually help people "overcome" autoimmune disorders, could only be developed through the absolute desperation I experienced while battling to overcome disease myself, to regain a normal life.

Between the ages of ten and thirteen I experienced sleep problems, depression, bronchitis, allergies to foods, plants and animals and epilepsy. I also experienced sudden anxiety attacks and loss of energy which could only be overcome by having sugar; symptoms my doctor explained indicated diabetes. I also felt so dizzy if I stood up quickly I had to sit down again until I regained my balance and doing a somersault made me feel nauseous.

I suffered 2 to 3 epileptic seizures a week which made me continually fatigued and my bronchitis caused me to cough and wheeze for a week before my school tests, or whenever I was faced with confrontation. My allergies also caused me to cough and wheeze every time I went near cats, chooks, pigeons, horses, kapok or wattle. I also broke out in a rash, experienced watery eyes and the roof of my mouth and my gums became swollen if I consumed gluten, tomato, pineapple, banana or custard apple. To top it off I suffered massive mood swings if my mother made sudden changes in our daily family routine or went out without giving me reasonable warning.

I also experienced mild symptoms of Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis

Leading up to my epileptic seizures I often experienced tingling and numbness in the right side of my face and in my right hand and on occasion, the toes of my right foot would go into spasm, symptoms common to multiple sclerosis. Preceding my most serious seizures, my right arm would have a mild tremor for several days and my right hand would sometimes be so stiff I had difficulty writing with a pen to do my schoolwork, symptoms common to Parkinson's disease.

While experiencing all this, the doctors at the hospital treated my bronchitis and allergies with drugs that made me feel sick and my neurologist kept prescribing drugs for my epilepsy that impaired my memory and made me feel like a lethargic zombie with little ability to express emotion.

My Neurologist Misinformed Me

My neurologist and several doctors at the hospital told my mother and myself, I had lesions in a part of my brain that caused my epilepsy, arm tremors and shaking and my only option was to take drugs for the rest of my life. On the other hand, my family doctor, Doctor Charles Elliott told us, my epilepsy was caused by reduced blood flow to the brain and my arm tremors and shaking etc, were caused by excessive tension in my neck muscles. He also told me, my personal efforts "would" make a difference and they did. They cured me of every single symptom in less than three years and turned me into a nationally successful athlete within five years.

It all began when I discovered my family doctor's diagnosis to be correct and my neurologist's diagnosis incorrect, because when I awoke with arm tremors and shaking after my family doctor gave his explanation, my mother overcame my symptoms completely by massaging my neck muscles, placing a hot water bottle on my neck and teaching me to do a relaxation breathing exercise where I repeatedly took a deep breath and held it for the count of four.

My neurologist told me never to get emotionally excited and my family doctor told me to set some goals and get excited about achieving them as this improves the body's manufacture of dopamine our most important immune hormone.

My neurologist told me not to do weight training and never to exert myself as this would increase my epileptic attacks and my family doctor told me exercise could only do good, but he wanted to monitor my progress. I later discovered, exerting myself using blood flow exercises, released the hormones which increased blood flow to my brain and helped me to overcome my epilepsy completely.

If your doctor is telling you, your autoimmune disorder is incurable, find a doctor who encourages success, and look for patients who have achieved the victory you are looking for. Taking drugs for a lifetime is the greatest wish of pharmaceutical drug company lecturers who go to great lengths to teach student doctors at medical school, autoimmune disorders are incurable and drugs are the only option.

It is impossible for supplements and drugs to overcome Parkinson's symptoms

On "numerous" occasions, my arm tremors and shaking etc, disappeared completely during this neck relaxation treatment, which proved my neurologist wrong, because if brain lesions caused my symptoms, my mother's efforts would have made no difference. Because I lived this experience repeatedly, I know the absolute truth about the cause and cure that can work for you, if you suffer sleeplessness, fatigue, nervousness, hand numbness or facial symptoms I assure you, no quick-fix pill can overcome these symptoms, but your personal efforts can.

Medical doctors who claim lesions in the brain cause these symptoms have no excuse for not knowing the truth, as the same neck effect I experienced is described in medical books and journals worldwide. One such journal reports the symptoms of Parkinson's, Multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's can all be caused by vertebral misalignment, muscular swelling, or degeneration at the C6 or C7 vertebra in the neck which reduces blood and oxygen to the face and brain. Panminerva Medical Journal, March 2002, volume 44, book 1, pages 47 to 59.

Operating On The Hand To Overcome The Parkinson's Shake Is a Complete Embarrassment To Medical Common Sense

My mother's neck treatment also completely eliminated the finger tendon cramping I often experienced which made it difficult for me to hold a pen. It was this curative effect that later led me to discover, most cases of carpal tunnel and arthritis effecting the hands, are caused by excessive neck tensions and or misaligned neck vertebra strangling nerves that operate the arms and hands.

Doctors and surgeons who endorse the carpal tunnel operation and the thalamus operation to stop the Parkinson arm shaking, have absolutely no excuse for doing so, as numerous medical journals written over hundreds of years have explained how profuse tension of neck muscles or bruising and inflammation of the nerves that protrude from the cervical spine that work the arms, cause the arm tremor and hand and finger problems associated with carpal tunnel, arthritis, polymyalgia, Parkinson's disease and MS.

One famous case history that explains this stress response, dates back as far as the second century A.D. when Dr Claudius Galen was called to treat a patient who experienced paralysis of one half of his middle finger and the fourth and fifth fingers of one hand. He discovered the patient had fallen and bruised his neck muscles at the seventh cervical neck vertebra and the moment his muscle bruising subsided, the paralysis in his fingers subsided.

My Neurologist Told Me My Food Allergies Were Incurable
Yet Medical Journals Say They "Are" Curable

I often had stomach cramps and a very tense stomach prior to the onset of my food allergies yet none of the doctors at the hospital associated my stomach tensions with my allergies. On the other hand my family doctor suggested, deep breathing and relaxation would help. I also found that same advice in a book written by a Christian doctor, Doctor Howard James, titled "The Secret Of Disease" which was published way back in 1928. This book explains how women who wore corsets, often suffered food allergies and other stomach complaints due to their reduced breathing capabilities and their constantly tense stomachs. Most people don't realise, oxygen and a relaxed stomach are essential for the digestion of amino acids that the immune system uses to create hormones that encourage emotional stability, energy storage, appetite, muscle flexibility and R.E.M. sleep.

Medical studies prove that encouraging children to develop self-confidence in the early stages of their disease often overcomes autoimmune disorders such as allergies, autism and asthma completely. Most medical doctors are not only not explaining this success, they are dispensing drugs instead of advising parents to take such children to occupational therapists or psychologists who are achieving victory over these disorders through stress management. (This is a travesty that most people are not aware of and it needs to be addressed.)

The Cause Of All My Health Problems

My bronchitis began first, when I was 11 years-of-age

When I was around ten years-of-age, my father who had become an alcoholic due to losing his business, would often come home drunk after pub closing around nine O'clock and begin to argue with my mother. As my parents bedroom was next to mine and our beds were against the same wall, I heard every word. They usually argued over money but what affected me most, was my father's sexual insults.

As I listened, I held my breath in fear and became very tense in my throat which often caused me to suffer asthmatic/bronchial attacks as I tried to fall asleep after the arguing stopped. (Just as we can develop stomach cramps due to anticipation, we develop throat cramps that cause asthma, due to holding in our frustration.)

Doctors are letting families down by not explaining the causes of asthma

Years later, while studying autoimmune disorders, I found many medical journals that explain how childhood asthma and bronchitis are caused by loss of harmonious interaction in the family and fear of separation from the mother. Numerous medical journals explain this cause. One such journal is: The English Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health" 1998 volume 34, book 4, pages 391-394

My Food Allergies Developed Next, When I Was Twelve Years-of-age

Once a week or so, for about two years before my first epileptic seizure and hospitalization there was one argument that affected me most horrifically. I heard the sound of my father's back rubbing on the wall as he put his feet against my mother and pushed her out of bed for refusing him a physical relationship. While listening and sometimes hearing my mother fall to the floor, I developed the stomach cramps that caused my food allergies, and I worked up an intense anger.

Doctors are letting families down by not explaining the cause of food allergies. While studying, I also discovered many medical journals that explain how suppressed anger and fear causes stomach tensions and allergies. Separating from anger and fear and practicing stomach relaxation can help you overcome allergies completely.

One journal explaining suppressed anger and allergy to milk is:
The Medical Journal Of Psychosomatic research 1977, volume 21, page 395
One journal explaining suppressed anger and allergy to gluten is:
Lancet Medical Journal, July 1969, page 129
One survey on 516 patients, details how emotional stress, depression, suppression and anxiety were found responsible for insomnia and allergies to foods as well as external substances such as pollen etc:
The Scandinavian Medical Journal of Environmental Health, 1997, volume 23, book 3, pages 75 to 78

Many medical surveys support this psychosomatic response yet most medical doctors still inform parents, medical science has no idea what causes allergies and the only option is to avoid the foods responsible and take pharmaceutical drugs.

My epilepsy developed next, when I was 13 years-of-age

As I fell asleep on anger, my neck tensions increased sufficiently to reduce blood flow to my face and brain which triggered my epilepsy and facial symptoms. It was always the morning after this sexual conflict that the right side of my face became numb, my right arm developed a tremor and my right hand and foot experienced spasm. The muscle tensions that caused my stomach cramps also strangled the nerves that controlled my legs and feet to cause my foot spasm. (When we fall asleep on stress, our mind remains overactive during sleep to create muscle tensions that weaken our breathing and digestion, and strangle nerves that operate other functions.)

While studying a case history recorded back in 1880 by the famous psychologist Dr Joseph Breuer, "the case of Anna O", I learned when we suppress fear, grief, anger or frustration over a male, we cause mental overactivity in the left prefrontal cortex of the brain during sleep, which can cause spasm's and fatigue in the right side of the body, and the right brain cortex and left side of the body are affected if we have the same negative frustrations over a female. Anna O experienced symptoms on the right side of her body the same as I did, due to trauma relating to her father.

The fact, epilepsy is caused by an overactive prefrontal cortex and not brain lesions as many doctors claim, has also been recorded for many years, yet doctors still don't pass this information on. One journal suggests, so many studies have found family stress to be the cause of epilepsy, the name "Temporal Lobe Epilepsy" should be replaced by the term "Limbic Epilepsy", limbic meaning emotions. The Journal Of The Royal Society Of Medicine, June 1991, volume 84, pages 349 to 356. (I personally can't see this happening, as I believe the medical profession is controlled by drug company directors who don't want this information to get out.)

Stress effecting one side of the body in conjunction with epilepsy and how it is triggered by depression caused through family disharmony is also well documented in medical journals. One report can be reviewed in: The American Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1984, volume 172, book 5, pages 287 to 290

Doctors are letting families down by not explaining the cause of epilepsy. I have came across many medical journals that prove,
the medical profession often fall short of our expectations when it comes to giving us the answers we need. The following medical journal is one which I found in the hospital medical library three floors directly above the office of my neurologist.

Developmental Medicine and child Neurology 1984, volume 26, book 1.
Subject:- Epileptic children. P14. Quote "Many studies have indicated that several aspects of family life affect the likelihood of psychiatric disorder among children." Marital disharmony and parental deviance are implicated as the cause.

This medical report describes my home life as a teenager so accurately it sounds like the author lived in my house when I developed epilepsy. If medical journals such as this had been shown to my mother during my initial hospital treatment, she may have been able to make the changes that would have either eliminated my symptoms or at least minimised them.

These emotional stress circumstances are the reason for disorders such as asthma, bronchitis, epilepsy, food allergies, autism, ADD, ADHD, anorexia, bulimia, diabetes, arthritis, respiratory complaints, cancer, polymyalgia, lupus, Parkinson's and many other conditions that medical doctors so wrongly teach us, are incurable, for the sake of placing us on drugs for the rest of our lives. You "can" overcome autoimmune disorders in children as well as in adults if you are willing to put in the effort.

My "Cure" and Climb To Athletic Success

After my mother helped me overcome my nervousness, face tingling and arm symptoms with her neck relaxation, I started on a lengthy journey of investigation due to having a taste of what amazing success I could experience through personal effort. I began to study anatomy, psychology and natural therapies and attended medical lectures and collected articles on relaxation, sleep improvement, exercise, meditation, breathing techniques, visualization used by athletes, and books written by people who had achieved victory over disease.

One article I collected described how Japanese pearl divers exercised to hold their breath for great lengths of time under water and this exercise helped me overcome my mind overactivity, sleep problems and bronchitis. I collected another article on how Hollywood movie stars relaxed their nerves and stomachs before going on stage or on camera to act, and that helped me overcome my stomach tensions, allergies and fatigue.

Another article by Joe Weider, Arnold Schwarzenegger's trainer, explained blood flow exercising to improve blood flow in the body and this enabled me to improve the blood flow to my brain to overcome epilepsy completely and permanently.

If you wish to overcome the need for a hysterectomy or you suffer from any autoimmune disorder particularly diabetes, blood disorders, cancer or Parkinson's disease, this specific form of exercising can definitely contribute to your complete recovery. In conjunction with herbs, supplements and ozone, I have also used this form of exercising to help clients overcome HIV and Chlamydia.

I was a nationally successful weightlifter by the age of 18

Through improving the natural functions of my body, I overcame all my symptoms in two-and-a-half years and I had learned so much about the mind and body, I wanted to apply my newfound knowledge to my life, to make up for what I had missed out on. I set a goal to break a state weightlifting record within three years and I gained so much strength during training, I soon broke the world record for bench press for my body weight, by bench pressing 340 lbs. This convinced me, my extreme weakness and fatigue were definitely a thing of the past. If you take the time to improve the natural functions of your body, you too may overcome any autoimmune disorder that causes weakness, fatigue and muscle stiffness.

I placed in the state diving championships at the age of 19

I also came third in the state springboard diving championships at age nineteen, performing a dive from a three-metre-high springboard, which required a double mid-air somersault with one full sideways twist before entering the water. This success convinced me, my days of feeling nauseous from doing a somersault were also a thing of the past. If you take the time to improve the natural functions of your body, you too can overcome fainting sensations, loss of balance, loss of concentration, anxiety and feelings of nausea, and enable yourself to maintain youthfulness well into old age.

My new lung strength gained an entry in the Guinness book of records

I had also developed so much lung strength through my bronchitis exercise, I went on a television telethon to raise money for a children's hospital, and blew up a meteorological weather balloon to a diameter of eight feet. I blew full breaths into the balloon non-stop for an hour at a time for six hours, with a ten minute break every hour, proving beyond any doubt, my bronchial/asthmatic attacks were now, nothing more than history. In fact, this feat became history as it was entered into the 1981 edition of the Guinness book of records. If you have asthma, bronchitis, emphysema or sarcoidosis, you too may overcome your disorder completely by relaxing your stomach and neck muscles, exercising your thoracic spinal muscles, rectifying misaligned vertebra, performing my lung exercise, overcoming an overactive mind to improve your R.E.M. sleep, and becoming excited about a new and challenging life goal.

Gain youthfulness that will invigorate you for a lifetime

Insecurity, lack of confidence, suppressed hostility, not speaking out about your fears, and not continually reminding your body how to digest well, how to breathe well, how to sleep well, how to have efficient blood flow, and most importantly, not continually encouraging your mind to be peaceful, loving and calm before going to bed, all contributes to the development of autoimmune disease. Alternatively, practicing all these stress management ideals can help you overcome almost any autoimmune disorder and lift you to heights of youthfulness that will invigorate you for the rest of your life.

Don't miss out on the beauty of life, and don't listen to people who try to tell you, your life is over when it is not. Be enthusiastic to work on your own health and happiness and be willing to forgive others as I did my father, as every one of us makes mistakes. This is why pencils with rubbers on the end, and white-out, are among the highest selling retail items in the world.

Believe in yourself and surround yourself with people who have achieved the success you are looking for and listen to their advice, for this is the advice that will give you "your" success. We cannot do without supplements, I use them with every client I treat, and we cannot do without pharmaceutical drugs, but we are a creation of nature, and we have an incredible ability to heal our body by encouraging it to work according to the nature of its design. Do what ever it takes to live your life with a passion, "according to nature", for your children, for your family and for the benefit of others and you really will, live your life to the full.

Medical doctors need to change their treatment of autoimmune disorders

Whilst medical experts deserve praise for advancements in heart surgery, skin grafting on burn victims, ears, eyes, nose and throat treatments, paediatric care and other such medical services, it is my experience, they are letting us down drastically when it comes to the treatment of autoimmune disorders.

Why is it we can walk into any major book shop in almost any capital city in the world and purchase a vast array of books written by patients themselves who have overcome diseases from diabetes to cancer, yet medical experts who are supposed to be searching for the cure for these disorders are not interested in researching the proven approach used by these patients?
