This treatment is truly astonishing, and you sir are a hero in my book for showing the rest of the world what you went through to get here. The amount of courage you have is commendable!
T-Cell therapy, a person paralyzed for 20 years able to walk again, DBS, and everything else being done... It's amazing. Medical science is really picking up and I am loving seeing stories like this. It gives me hope, and it warms my heart to see people like yourself able to regain their previous mobility/lifestyle.
Thank you Harry, I underwent this procedure over a year ago with Dr. Ron Leavy at Kingston General Hospital. We had been waiting for the new technology to be approved by Health Canada in time for my surgery. Fortunately as luck would have it I became the 2nd person in Canada to receive this marvelous technology. Your experience is identical to mine so in that way I feel very connected to your story.
Hi, Edward. I want to know the complete address of the hospital and contact No of hospital as well doctors from where you have treated, if its possible for you please help me.
My grandfather had Parkinsons. He passed away in 2010. He lived a fairly full life and got into his 70s. I'm glad there are more options for people with Parkinsons now.
My grandfather lived with Parkinsons for over 25 years. We never got to see him smile. And as a young kid I didn't understand how he could be so happy in older pictures but seemed so sad now. He was a sweet and gentle soul, and wish he could have benefited from this ground breaking therapy.
Beautiful story. Over the course of many years, I watched Parkinson's slowly take away bits of my father's life. I wish that he would have lived to see such incredible treatments. I have read quite a bit about DBS treatments, but this is best film I have seen showing the results. Thank you for sharing your story! My prayers are with you.
Great video. I love hearing this kind of stuff from actual patients. Not from a pharma CEO or medical device CEO or politician. This is the proof. Fantastic.
Thank you for your video. I am in tears of joy for you and tears of hope for my brother-in-law who has PD. I am forwarding your video to my Sister so that they may research his options here in the USA. Thank you once again:) 🕊🌻
Just excellent! I’m so pleased for you! I used to nurse and have seen many Parkinson’s sufferers and even have friends with it. It’s wonderful to see you before…. And after surgery and the fine tuning! Long May your better health continue! ❤
Harry, my heartfelt happiness for you to regain tremor-free living! Thank you for being so brave to share your journey. Your story gives hope and options! Your testament will undoubtedly help more patients to receive improved outcomes!
I am a living testament to this surgery. While I didn't have Parkinson's I did have benign essential tremors which impacted my quality of life. My tremors were isolated bilaterally to both of my hands which affected my fine motor skills. Things such as eating, or using any type of cooking utensils were unfortunately out of the question. After being treated with medication by a movement disorder specialist with no success I was referred to a neurosurgeon (Dr. Paul Gigante) at RWJ Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ. Long story short I have been tremor free for approximately two years and counting and couldn't be more pleased. I am so very happy for this gentleman.
It a very beautiful thing to see myself healthy again after using remedy from Dr Ake on RUclips, I finally got cured of my Parkinson's disease with his herbs med and I can tell how great my health has turned out so far. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Fantastic story! Thank you to all the great scientists, technicians, and surgeons who have their iginuity, persistence, and hard work mistaken for miracles.
Omg!? That's amazing! Thank you so very much for allowing us to see what it's like when it's off and sharing your experience. Very honourable of you to help educate us. My love and light to you. Sudbury, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ✌️
What a wonderful and amazing story I wish you all the best. The difference is night and day absolutely incredible the relief I see in your personality is just.. brings me to tears. Wish ya All the best
I took care of my lovely wife who died from late stage Parkinson's in 2022..she had this disease for 22 years but had no shaking . This DBS surgery for patients with dyskinesia/tremors is at best when it works does help for a time with tremor in some patients but it is not a permanent solution ,patient's have to be carefully screened for any latent psychiatric problems prior to the implant or psychosis can become an issue. I also know of patients in my PD support group who had little benefit from DBS implants..as I remember the device by itself costs 35 thousand dollars, that is before surgery fees.
Amazing outcome. You are so composed and articulate. What an inspiration to so many. So you still have take Levodopa, but now its 50% of what you previously had been taking.
I am just so happy for all Parkinson's patients. I have essential tremor and l had difficulty dealing with that. I can't imagine what they go through. That's why I am so excited for them. You are sedated and I never knew when they put the frame on or drilled the holes. The only thing l remember is when they had me write. You then have a general for the bettery placement.
I had DBS for Essential Tremor in 2024 and recovering well, looking for work opportunities that have a bit of accomodations. It's really amazing how far this technology has progressed! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely well produced and informative look at DBS. Yes DBS can be an effective and life changing for some. In a PD support group I belong to we have 4 members with DBS and 2 currently undergoing evaluation. Also know a relative who had it done. Though definitely providing some relief, after a few years the folks I know had significant falling and balance problems along with loss of ability to speak clearly and loudly more so than most other people I know with PD. Just my opinion!! Hoping they solve the PD puzzle soon. Stay strong !!!
What company's device was put in your brain? You should have them and your neurologist make some adjustments in your programing. Did you have it done for both sides of your body? If so, chances are there is some overlap between your left side of the brain and the right side. When they go in on the right side of the brain to correct the left, that is where the speech and balance are. If you adjust this, you may not get quite as much benefit from the tremors, but it is sure better than speech and balance problems. I had both sides done. My dominate side is on the right. I just had my left side done. During the placement they kept getting me to say things to check for speech problems. I didn't have any problem.My programing/activation is in a couple of weeks. My neurologist warned me that I may not get quite as good of results on the left side because we want to prevent the overlap problems. I don't care as long as there is improvement. Before any of this, I couldn't do everyday stuff. Thank goodness for my husband! My right side is great! The first time I held a sandwich and a drink, I just busted out crying. I think it took me a month or so to get used to be able to do normal things. It was life changing for me.
Dont get caught in media hype. This surgery has many downfalls like loss of speech, balance and walking ability. Hardly anyone talks about infection risks during battery replacements. My fathers DBS system had to be removed completely after an infection during battery replacement and he was been bed ridden since. He flew to the surgery on his own. Lost his speaking ability after DBS. Doctors will blame decease progression if something goes wrong. So be aware.
How lucky we are in the West to have access to these top tech surgery. I had brain surgery by one of the best brain surgeons in Europe. Professor Menovsky literally saved my life because I was born where I was born and I had access to best possible treatment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You don't need a device. My friend has been doing B1 therapy for about 2 months and now, I can't even tell she has Parky's! Minimal shaking, no facial "mask" and her gait is as normal as anyone else's. Honestly, it's like a miracle. I don't know why this isn't talked about more--probably because there's no money in it.
@@alexandrawhitelock6195 It does work for everyone. The reason they don't do it is because they've never heard of it or, like you, they refuse to believe it.
Good for her as DBS is typically not an option while medications are working in symptom management. Surgery is a last resort and has clearly helped him.
Wishing you the best Harry….. one question: have you noticed an increase in shaking/tremors once it is turned off? Is there any chance it actually speeds up the PD process?
Great report! It is applicable to my situation. So is it ever effective more than 10 to 15 years? Dr. David Sinclair's (Harvard) research into reversing nerve damage and brain etc ... looks like a positive area to investigate for application to this problem too.
God bless you, sir. You have helped all of us, even those without Parkinsons, because we now have a better understanding of what it is you and all Parkinsons patients have to deal with.
Thank you for demonstrating levadopa triggered diskenisia vs Parkinsonian tremor. I feel sometimes people don't understand that even with the best treatment, there are costs. That living with disability is balancing those costs every day.
Congratulations!! I have DBS for Essential Tremor which is many times mistaken for Parkinsons. The DBS has been absolutely life changing. The only thing I wondered afterward was ‘what in the world took me so long?’.
this is so amazing, thanks for sharing. I'm sure Michael J Fox would be aware of this procedure, so would he benefit in having it done or is his PD too far in advance for him to benefit from it? MJF is such an incredible ambassador for PD, I wish him many more years forward.
DBS, as said in the video, doesn't work for all parkinson's patients. Given MJF's involvement with research and living with the disease, I'm sure they've looked into it.
Given the apparatus is very scary and the physiology is still unknown, however the result is very magical. I wish this could work long term for everyone. Wish the best for Harry.
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I have Essential Tremors and boy is it challenging. I have stated to look into treatment and I am hopeful that I will be successful. Stay well. Stay strong. My best ….❤

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's 6 years ago at the age of 46. My meds aren't working as well as they were and my doctor is recommending that I get DBS, early next year.
I strongly recommend it. I had both sides done. It was life changing for me. None of the meds I was prescribed really did any good. This procedure has been around for over 20 years.
This is sue I’m caring for the love of my life who has had Parkinson’s for 18 years just 2 years into our marriage and from lockdown has developed dementia too. It’s heartbreaking and so sad and so exhausting I feel he’s dying infront of my eyes every day and I still love him to bits
1:16 "Scientists aren't sure how it works, or even why". No better illustration of how medical treatment & clinical research is only partly based on _theoretical models_ . Theoretically, humanity couldn't fly - even after those brothers with the bike shop learned how to do it. Amazing reportage. Also enjoying your interviews with Michael J. Fox 👍🏻
i would never have this done no way i have blephorspasm and meige movement disorder i take pills that help alot im able to function very well for the past several years
Huge factors in the cause of Parkinson's disease are: 1) Vaccine injury impacting protein synthesis 2) Vaccine injury causing long term autoimmune issues in the brain
I wonder if stuff like this would be used in the future for those Long Covid suffers like me who're dealing with neurological issues with parkinsons/MS like symptoms.
There was a slight change in the way you pronounce the words after you turned on the DBS, you ended the words somewhat softer, I wonder if that's how you used to normally talk before PD or it's an effect of the DBS?
Very fascinating when you have control over your disease, you get to turn it off and on even. This is a great example for how technology is so useful and great! Now let's figure out why Parkinsons occurs more and more often. I am guessing it all comes down to sugar, sleep, stress and how we use our bodies throughout the day.
When folks like you do things like this, it is a precious gift to everyone.
This treatment is truly astonishing, and you sir are a hero in my book for showing the rest of the world what you went through to get here. The amount of courage you have is commendable!
