I can't even imagine the exhaustion these people must face with this disease, I hope this gives everyone relief and comfort.
It's awful to see.
Hope this works for all.
You’d think he’d have to raise his calorie intake to offset the energy used?
My mom had it. It was exahsting to watch her for us. So yes, certainly exahsting for them.😢😢😢
That would be great if it could happen but unfortunately not everyone with this disease that lives in America will get to own this great invention. Unless they are prepared to become homeless since America is the #1 country of greed and scamming insurance companies. The audacity to call America the greatest country when they won't even consider giving there people free healthcare like so many other countries have. Devils run America!
Amen!
My wife had these stimulator placed in her brain and we both cried the first time they were turned on. It made her life livable again. They truly were a gift of a better life for her.
❤❤❤
😢😢😢😢😢
Wow!!! So happy for you and your wife!
That is awesome, God blessed you both a Angel to look over you. Always praise Almighty God for whatever it is you are suffering from.
My friend has Parkinson’s disease ! He controls it by going on long walks !
JUST SAYING !
When I was a young man there was a neighbor who was a retired state trooper. One day I was riding my bicycle and he was checking his mail and I finally asked him. “Why do you shake so much mister?” He said it was because of Parkinson’s. He had a 1956 Chevy BelAire with a 383 stroker in it and it was parked in his garage. I complemented him on his car and he asked if I wanted to go for a ride. So I said yes and he shook just like this all the way until we pulled out of the drive and he slammed the hammer down and shifted like a nascar driver. Fastest car I had ever ridden in (at the time) we pulled back into his garage and as soon as the ignition switch shut off he went back to shaking. To say that car was his medicine is an understatement. It was his escape and he was so happy to share that moment with someone who cared enough to ask about him.
That's awesome, man.🤟🫶
Well done!🎖🤝Thank you for that nice gesture.
Okay, who else thought he was going to end that with: "And that kind, awesome old man with Parkinson's left that 1956 Chevy Bel Air to me!
@@williamdistasio9358 Not many people on EARTH are THAT generous.

Oh man....this made me cry. My dad developed brain cancer in his 81st year. He went into cycles of mini-seizures for weeks, until a kind doc got them under control. It was the hardest thing I've ever watched. RIP Dad.
I’ve worked for Medtronic for 25 years and videos like these and knowing that my work helps save lives is priceless
Thank You
I like Medtronic
Thank you so much for the good work you do. My mom had a medtronic pacemaker at one time. It greatly increased her quality of life ❤
I’ve been a RN for 20 years and I feel like Medtronic makes so many things we use daily to save lives
Thank you!!❤
Apart from the exhausting tremors, Parkinsons wipes out facial expressions, too. To see the tremors stop and him able to smile is just amazing.
Are they able to fall asleep and be at peace for as long as that might be?
@joeyhunter842 I wonder the same thing. I'm 68, and but for the grace of...something, go I.
😂
@@thomasbell7033 sleep is restless, but not a huge impact. They physical exhaustion takes over and sleep is enjoyed. The meds can be tough on sleep, probably better now, but because during a long sleep the meds are consumed by the body totally, they wake often completely stiff, so the waking up process takes an hour or so. At least that is how it was with my dad in 2005.
@@joeyhunter842it's an unconscious reaction so yes they can fall asleep with more difficulty but it's like falling asleep while shivering.
It's basically caused a feedback loop in the brain from a patern of electronic impulses caused by neurons being damaged and or dying.
it's a lot more complex than that but that's what Google is for lol
My dad is 70 with Parkinsons n he had deep brain stimulation surgery. It changed his life so much forthebetter, completely stopped his shaking. Thank you medtronic ❤
Jehovah Raphe God our healer rest on these people in Jesus almighty name amen and amen! Glory to the God of heaven!
_As a _*_Medtronic_*_ implantee (different condition), I second that sentiment._
I've never felt so happy for a person I've never met. The look of relief and joy on his face *literally* made my day.
I know right? I felt like I could breathe for him. Not sure how to explain it any other way. I guess just all that energy expended. What a beautiful thing! 👍🏼💯😁
That little grin is what pure joy looks like.
Yh
Agreed❤
I love that look. Especially when my dad wears it. This disease is so hard on him. It breaks my heart.
@@xmannythakidxSo sorry to hear that
That's freaking amazing what is medically possible.
My husband suffered from Parkinson’s. He was so tired all the time from constant movement ( and the disease). He had a DBS placed and was comfortable and moved pretty normally for years until he declined and sadly passed last year. He said it completely changed his life and I’m so grateful for the surgery.
Sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. Thankfully he had some comfort
My Deepest Sympathies
The results are lovely to hear about, I'm so glad you got to experience it with him for such a long time it's really a heartbreaking thing to go through and I'm so happy he was able to experience your love . I hear a lot of people leave their partner to some care system or company rather than staying and that is the saddest thing I've had to hear about. It makes me have faith in humanity that a good amount of people care enough to stay through some of the most intense occurrences.
May your husband rest in peace❤
My brother was a healthy clean living adventurer and developed Parkinson's. He had one of the first brain stimulators implants and it added life to his years and years to his life. This lovely man reminds me of him and his nature and spirit.. ❤
My Papa was one of the first test cases for DBS. My other grandpa was a vet for the test cases of DBS on orangutans. So grateful for this treatment and my family's history with this advancement in the medical field.
Thank God for your amazing Papa❤️💕🫶🙌🥰
That man’s quality of life just skyrocketed in about 2 seconds, very cool.
Not exactly 2 seconds as he has gone through brain surgery before that to place the stimulators and wires. But it is still amazing that the tremors stop almost completely just about 2 seconds after turning on the stimulators, even though they aren't even fine tuned yet.
It's just as incredible to see them stop vocal and motor tics from Tourette's.
@@SticksWithPicks I understand that he went through surgery first but as you reiterated it only took about 2 seconds.
God bless this man may he live a better life with this medicine
My hat off to the people that researched, designed, and actually built a miracle device to help people inflicted with Parkinson.
WoW that's a 1st for me, over 4,300 up votes. After seeing the amazing way the gentleman's body became normal after he was receiving the stimulus I wish I would have devoted my time studying medical electronics instead of devoting my life working in Electronics on Radar systems. I'm happy for the gentleman and all of the people that this miracle device can help live normal lives.
Really? Cuz marijuana literally does the same thing. And it's not poison and your not drowning in debt in hospital bills
@bori_borii
So are you telling me that weed works just as good as what we have witnessed. I think most people his age are probably covered by Medicare or Medicaid that the U S Government provides, although I could be wrong.
@@clarenceratkowiak7287 ohh yeah man. Look up videos on it. And it takes maybe 5 minutes or less. Or dabs that hit you faster. That's really why marijuana is illegal in so many places. They would put doctors out of business
@bori_borii
BS. Medical Marijuana is a joke when it comes to serious concerns. How many people with serious conditions do you even see going into a dispensary. Very few. Barely takes the edge off for most.
@@bori_boriithats not true at all know what your talking about before you down play something so significant for people suffering
The relief and joy in his face makes all the work behind this technology worth it!
This is what I'm here for. You can't find content like this on Tilt ok or Reels, at least not as easily. I love seeing people recover and finally get some meaning back into their lives. Love this!
Controlling symptoms/=/ recovery… still a degenerative, and ultimately lethal, disease
I used to work in ICU at a hospital where they did a lot of DBS procedures. Watching the patients and their families learn how to use the app was one of the most rewarding things ever
What is the PRICE TAG?
What is the contraption called please? ❤
How does it work? Is surgery required or is this an external stimulator only? DIES this work for everyone? ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL..
@@jennymoore2083looks like it is called N’vision made by MEDTRONIC. You can see it it the video 💖🙏🏾
Phenomenal peice of tech to be working on!! Kudos for the devs!!
My Father had this surgery about 14 years ago. Whilst it doesn’t stop the progression of the disease, it gives you an amazing quality of life. Hats off to the surgeons and medical professionals who make this possible. Dad is still going strong thanks to this intervention 😊.
My grandmother had the experimental brain surgery too! Stopped the shakes, but not the progression.
@@AestheticWaifcould you tell me what that means?
I imagined that this practice basically "cures" Parkinson as long as it is active
Probably need to thank the electrical engineers more than anything.
Is it electricity? Don't get it
Awesome!!
The JOY in his smile after he realizss he is not shaking is EVERYTHING
Wow.. the subtle smile that grew on his face as the peace and calm of relief came over him. Such a beautiful moment in modern medicine!
The amount of comfort this can restore to a patient is unreal, the constant exhaustion not being so much of an issue is a huge piece of their quality of life given back to them.
unfortunately they will only help their own, no way a foreigner gets the same treatment.
Quality of life with any disease is the best gift one can have❤

We have alotta smart pelple willing to do good with science but dont have funding because governments doesn't care about anything but themselves.
Thank you! We need more comments like this! Tears of joy
That patients smile at the end says it All! Great work everyone!
My dad had a friend when I was little that was like an uncle to me that had Parkinsons. He shook really bad until he played the fiddle and he was a hell of a player. That fiddle was his medicine and relief. RIP Gordon Pickett.
Mom had parkinsons for more than 20 years. She went through all its stages, well cared for by family.she was a brave woman and loving mom. Miss her

Where can I get this treatment?
@@bristandehaney4630The Neuro Medical Center Clinic
My heart goes out to you because I also lost my grandpa in 2018 from Parkinson’s.
CBD does the same
I am so emotional watching this. Parkinson’s took a family member of mine who meant the world to me. Seeing that person degenerate year after year, the struggle and pain they endured, was almost too much to bear. But the courage and determination they faced it with was inspiring. I hope to God that treatments continue to be developed to help people with this cruel condition. God bless this patient, and all the doctors, researchers, nurses, caregivers and specialists who work tirelessly to help people suffering with PD and related diseases. It’s tough, but the human spirit is tougher.
Having this treatment must be completely life changing for someone with Parkinson's. I'm happy they are making developments treating this disease x
My wife was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 32 years ago. She underwent brain surgery and had the Deep Brain Stimulator implants installed about 13 years ago and this was a life changing experience for her. She still has good days and bad days but her overall quality of life has been improved dramatically and we are so grateful that this procedure was made available to her. Parkinson’s is a thief that only takes and never gives.
Thank god. I’m so very happy for her ❤
My daughter had these muscle control issues and had this surgery and it made her 100%
Could she walk before the DBS? my husband had it and it totally debilitated him.
Chris from Michigan
So sorry. What a cruel diseas. I took care of people like this in my younger years
Oxford recovery centers in Michigan allegedly has had success with Parkinson's reversal, but I couldn't bring my father there, because he was too old and was on his last legs by literally 6 months when I found out about them. I'd look them up and watch videos and do research on them to see if they really are as good as they say they are. Best Wishes!
That’s actually beautiful to see that man relieved of the trauma
Absolutely wonderful. Your giving people their lives back.
Amazing! Those who study these diseases and create these devices deserve such respect and recognition. I cannot begin to imagine the turmoil Parkinson patients endure. This must be an amazing feeling for this man. Here’s hoping he never has to experience another shake again.
Bought back memories of my dad 🥹. My father (passed in 2014) got dbs implant around 2011 and it improved his life dramatically. When the video showed the patient here tapping his fingers together, i started tearing up because i remembered sitting there with my dad for his initial followup appt and dad was asked to do the same exercise.😢😇Great memories. Thanks for the upload.
Peace to you ❤
Miraculous. However, Boston’s DBS system is superior to Medtronic’s.
Awh God bless Ur hurting little heart Jack🕊❤
Natives say they still walk with you and yours if the stories are alive my friends. Gods be on your path
I'm overwhelmed just watching ❤❤❤❤
Hes clearly holding back pure joy, now that hes not bouncing around I think hes ready to start bouncing around for joy and give you a hug.
Joy comes from Yehovah God not medicine, now he will depend on medicine,
@@patanthony9286and be very happy to do so. If he was waiting for a miracle from Jesus he would wait a long time - modern medicine stepped in to fix the physical flaws in the being god designed- if you believe in such things.
@@patanthony9286shut up
I don't think it matters where joy comes from...as long as you can experience joy, which this man so clearly did, that's all that matters.
@@patanthony9286no. Now he will depend on the stimulator.
This video can live rent free in my brain, I take care of many patients with parkinson’s and it’s lovely to see this
He’s so brave to let you film him while this happens. What a beautiful soul.
I proudly spent 5 years of my career working for Medtronic. The company has been alleviating pain, restoring health and extending life through their cutting-edge medical devices (like this one) since it was founded in 1949. Bravo!
Would this help with Huntingtons? My aunt is suffering so badly and this looks promising.
@bradneary3260 I worked with spine surgeons who used Medtronic devices, back in the '90s. Yes, they've done some wonderful work.
I have repetititive MS spasms in my legs that interphere with work and sleep. The relief that gave him was a gift
I am so proud that medtronic is amn based company.
That's wonderful to see!.My 28 y.o. son has lived all his years with a Medtronic heart pacer. And his cousin is an electronic engineer with them.
I have Parkinson's and have had the bi / lateral DBS SURGICAL PROCEDURE. A miracle for those of us who have suffered the essential tremors with Parkinson's, both I have and I'm finally having a quality of life.
I am so happy for you. I hope you continue to have a quality of life. Best wishes for the future
That is wonderful. I hope you continue to enjoy every moment. Bless you x
Although, the DBS doesn't stop the disease from the progressing the DBS will give us quality of life and that, I can face my life with the happiness and joy that this procedure has given me. I can eat out at restaurants without the embarrassed by shaking so badly I couldn't get my food up to my mouth for the shaking. I drank coffee through a straw because I couldn't hold not even a cup of water. Bless you people from MedTronics, through your hands God has given miracles. Thank you.
@@StevenWinstonPoole-vg9hy Steven, I will remember you in my prayers. I'm glad that you have had some quality of life restored by this. Keep the faith, brother. God bless you x

Okay wow my mom had Parkinson's and she's been gone for over 20 years but to see this man overcoming with help this horrible disease brought tears to my eyes
I had an uncle who had Parkinson's disease. The poor man suffered so terribly to the point where he tried to end his own life. The technology that we have now to help people is absolutely amazing! May my uncle and any others who have passed from Parkinson's rest in peace eternally. ❤

I would have thought she would be a great patient for this. She had no help at home which must be hard with this degree of Parkinson’s.
@@keithstubblefield9089 Perhaps it was only the two of them and they lived a continent apart. She had her own responsibilities in life and perhaps her own health concerns.

Nope they rather celebrate what's trending on tiktok or praise some influencer?
YOU ARE CHANGING LIVES! I’m THRILLED to see this. Thank you!
AMAZING. I PRAY that people with this illness have access to this stimulator and the medication. God Bless You All.
My brother in law has Parkinson’s disease and he shakes like this. When they wired him up, he stopped. It was freaking amazing. Technology has changed the world. This is an awesome video.
Have him try organic forms of coconut oil.....actual coconut oil, organic MCT oil, or coconut cream (in a can), etc. Mix it in with his food or just have him take a shot of MCT oil. It reduces Parkinson shakes. It won't be the perfect cure by any means, but you will notice a difference with his shaking.
What tech they using on patients?
@jerryeng17 seems like a more advanced T.E.N.S. system where in there seem to be electrodes and the pods on his shoulder connect wireless to the implants. The programming was probably the doctor tuning it to this patients specific frequency of shake.
I don't know them machines can keep them that way unfortunately, my sweet sweet Grandma had Parkinson's!
My dad had parkinsons for about 25 yrs. He had this surgery around 2005. The system appears to be improving. It.was a lot to go thru, but i think he was glad he finally did it. I wish it was earlier in his diagnosis. This is amazing. I hope the tech is easy enough for older ppĺ to manage. Thank you for this. After 11 years it's still hard to watch. He's at rest now. Deep feelings for this man. But we still need more progress for this disease.
Take some cbd drops to treat as well.
Very simple. Very cheap. Natural remedy
Improving? The UI is an exo sketch toy. There's more advanced tech in a store brand box of cornflakes. It's embarrassing.
@@Long-leggedbs
Parkinson, dementia and Alzheimers are all symptoms of metabolic disease heavily associated with diabetes, to the point they are now called type 3 diabetes by many doctors.
If you put these patients on ketogenic diets they will improve, as this diet is neuroprotective, provides an alternative fuel source to nerve cells and treats insulin resistance.
But nobody does this since it violates standard American diet guidelines, which are exclusively made for middle-aged sedentary obese men scared of heart disease.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

It's so weird tho because not all Parkinson's have the shaking. My husband had no shaking but couldn't walk or write and eventually not swallow. Would this device help those kind of issues???

Nice to see that poor guy enjoy a moment of peace. This treatment should be GIVEN to ALL people suffering from this disease!
You payn?..I'm just curious, I have a soft heart also, but literally someone has to pay for the research/development/production and application of all these amazing devices. Just something to think about that's deeper than 'oh, everyone should bever have to suffer or worry'

@@alkalk8938 the research is already done, it works, and I run a company and have "paid" many times for people that couldn't afford to cover an emergency and never looked back. Considering I'm not nearly as wealthy as the people profiting from these medical treatments that are only expensive in the "land of the free" I don't want to hear about the "poor people" needing to get paid for keeping people alive. Pay for your new Lamborghini, but making sure people that are on the verge of death is a bit excessive.
I had a math teacher named Mr. Baine who had Parkinson’s why still teaching, he was one of the best teachers I ever had, he never let his disease stop him from teaching which he loved.

I had two lovely elderly ladies that took my Drawing Class 15 years ago. They were both afflicted by Parkinson's like this man. Then something miraculous happened.
When they began drawing, focusing hard on what they were doing, their mind went from Left Brain to Right Brain. At that moment the tremors stopped completely! And as long as they stopped talking and stayed in Right Brain, drawing, NO TREMORS AT ALL!
If they stopped drawing or started talking, the Right Brain was no longer engaged and Left Brain was back. And the tremors would always return.
AND "ART AIN'T IMPORTANT", HUH FOLKS????? ❤❤❤

@@wisdomseeker33621) literally every medical breakthrough is a "medical miracle". Or are you implying this should be free, but, we should pay out the butt for basic penicillin or vaccinations?
What do you think a "medical miracle" is?
2) What you're really saying is "medical treatment should be free". And that's fine to have that very, oh so very, stupid belief. Because you'll notice this invention and breakthrough didn't come from a socialist country. In fact, *none of them do*.
Someone has to pay. There's literally no way around this simple basic principle.
Yes, and maybe there's hope that these will be available to all who need them. It wasn't too, too long ago that the only place one could have their blood pressure taken was at the doctor's office...and now... Home blood pressure monitors are inexpensive and available in every drugstore to anyone who wants one. 🙏🏼

@user-xt9nt2qm1l don’t let dropshippers convince you every piece of lifesaving technology is a profit ploy.
My brother-in-law was a martial arts specialist his whole life and when he got diagnosed with Parkinson’s he thought that he could fight that just like he had fought his whole life. He also thought that because he stayed in really good shape that he wouldn’t die young or ever get that sick. It got him and he did fight. The tremors were horrible. He was more worried about what people thought than how he felt always trying to mask it and hide it but ultimately complications did cause his death. I wish they would’ve had something like this when he was around. RIP Frankie❤

My grandfather has Parkinson’s, and I was too young to see what he was like before it, but thankfully he isn’t in that bad with it like this man yet, he’s really tough for his age. Love ya, pops
This made me cry. My Pops was my Superman. He can fix anything, wasnt afraid to do things. Once he reached into his 80s. He hand would shake. Couldnt lift the hood to his 55 ford truck.
I know ppl don’t realize how awful these diseases r
I wish this could be available for all people with Parkinsons. It truly is a debilitating exhausting life where all muscles are affected in the body.
This was my dad as well. I miss the guy who could do anything..
@@CiaraPipi I had no idea myself. I'm glad to learn though. It almost doesn't seem real. That a person could truly deal with that for maybe decades? Unreal.
Sounds like my Dad. It really hurts to see our heros slowly decline but thank God we had them as long as we did.
My dear dad had parkinsons. The shakes were not too bad, but facial expressions were gone. I knew that in his heart and soul, he was still happy and cracking jokes by the way he spoke. He was from the east end of London. He was a real cockney and had the best heart ever 😊. Rip Dad ❤
Amazing gift. God bless the doctors ....and....the patients who receive this treatment!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Bless his heart. So happy for anyone that can get relief like that
The retired vet who I used to work for had this procedure done to help with his Parkinson’s, he was back mowing the lawn and gardening at the clinic, he couldn’t practice anymore but having him around and more like himself was amazing to see. Science is awesome.
It sounded as if you were talking about a US soldier.
Fake or rèaĺ ?
@@camelopardalis84 Veterinarian, that happens a lot actually, i always forget people don’t automatically assume I’m talking about a veterinarian rather than a veteran when i say vet lol
@@chew_1993 I'm just so used to seeing this word used for ex-soldiers and not animal doctors online that I was surprised to see you were talking about a veterinarian. And I thought I'd let you know anyway that at least at first, people might think you're talking about an ex-soldier.
No way!!! That's so amazing. I bet he had to pay out of pocket though. I wish everyone with park. Could get this!
That smile on his face at the end of this video is EVERYTHING !! Bless him.
Yes sir it does 😊❤
Yes ma'am it does 😊❤
What a blessing this machine & Dr have provided to this young man! Prayers it brings you some relief and peace.
Awww he looked so adorable and at peace once the machine was activated. This is great tech.
Man, those people who dedicate their life to make these machines and medicine for people with conditions such as this, are absolute gems of human beings.
Amen brother
What those people know and come to know isn't coincidental. As we all are meant to serve while having the gift of Life. No one is haphazardly existing for self serving interest. As ones knowledge and know how is connected to something that goes beyond most understanding.
@@junglekutz5625 very true brother! Peoples minds amaze me.
My dad just was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. He’s not nearly this bad, but what a wondrous breakthrough this is.
Sorry to hear that. At least treatment is available these days
Does he drink diet sodas?
My dad got the deap brain stimulator was life changing, other than dr visits every 3 months he is "normal" no shakes, surgery was simple too with a day recovery
Why has Michael j fox not tried this ?
I suggest using medical marijuana there’s a video of a man with SEVERE Parkinson’s and 5 minutes after using it he was perfectly normal
I am so happy for this young gentleman. God bless you, sir.
My granddad died from complications from Parkinsons. This really heartens me to see the progress that has happened in the last 11 years.
I can’t get over how amazing this is. Wow
Yea now we don’t need anointing oil or prayer for the sick
@@patanthony9286The fall of our culture after tossing God out and embracing paganism hasn't just left evidence of judgment everywhere and the fall of America, (read Romans1) but it's brought every single thing that "mythical sky daddy " said to watch for worldwide for the first time in 2000 years. Beginning with Israel becoming a nation in a single day with the same people that never integrated into their societies (everyone else in history did) and it couldn't have even happened had the temple not be destroyed without a single stone left upon another and the jews scattered to the 4 corners of the earth. The knowledge increased (at a level never seen before when computers and internet came). Good and bad swapping places. One world religion (just opened in Abu Dhabi), one world govt (just about to happen with the fall of America), persecution (on a level never seen before. They're hunting Christians for sport in parts of africa and placing them in jail for praying in public in the Ukraine, Canada and it just happened here), reprobate minds (I never knew what one was until I seen a drag queen tweaking under a sign "it's not gonna lick itself" for kids and no one there seen anything wrong with it), Deception (were living in the time of the most deception in human history and that was the very first thing Jesus warned about), man I could go on for hours about the things Jesus said to watch for including the people who would remain blind to all of it. How about: Zechariah 12 3: And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people. All who burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." False teachers too (it is why you see so many "sects" of Christianity. For Satan to lead away from the God of the Bible.) You don't see that with any other belief because Satan already won with those religions. Jesus hated religion by the way. It's why the pharisees were lost. Even the archeology. Every bit has only provided evidence the Bible is true without a single bit ever disputing a thing.
There's so much more and it's ALL happening my friend. If nostradamas had written half of these things, everyone would be in awe. Anyway, John 14 29
"And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.”
I wasn't concerned with all this Jesus stuff either but after I looked up one day and we'll I said something that amounted to me giving up and if he were there he was about to see me before the days end. The next 48 hours of impossible events opened my eyes and completely changed who I am buddy. Hope you have a chance to find him cause he couldn't be more real. God bless you.
Even though this isn't a "viral" video, it's still the most amazing video I have seen in a very long time. I wish everyone that was suffering from something could have such relief to improve their quality of life.
It's probably a very good thing that it's not a viral video, because those get sensationalized to heck. This is just a video of a good thing happening to someone who needs it
it's funny how the meaning of viral kinda changed because depending on what year, this would've been considered super viral 😂
Wow that's amazing! His smile said it all! The look of relief in his eyes!
That man’s smile is what makes me happy
The exhausted relief on his face says it all... this breaks my heart but I'm so glad he found doctors that could help him.
Yes! When he said he felt "calm", I teared up. Bless his heart. So glad he got some relief!! 🥺😆😄😁😂💀
Man just got his life back. "I feel a lot better." I'm tearing up.
so sad man i hate seeing people in this world living like this. so glad they have some sort of temporary relief. much love to all whom suffer from something like this.
Thats probably a smile nobody has seen in years. This is incredible
When the stimulator goes on, and he’s not shaking the smile on his face is beautiful ❤
Amazing!!! They should be sending these out to ALL the people affected by this disease!!!!ASAP!!
Nah we sending billions to Ukraine instead
I agree, but there is quite a bit more than just sending to the patient. It requires trained professionals to set it up
Without a lot of money or insurance, the patient is SOL.
For DBS (deep brain stimulation) two metal electrodes are inserted deep into your brain at the top of your skull. Then a power pack (similar to a pacemaker) is implanted under the skin by your collar bone, with wires running under the skin from the power pack to the electrodes. A computerized control device, using Bluetooth-like connection, turns on the power and the electrodes can be adjusted to stimulate the brain at the appropriate spots to stop the tremors. A trained technician can adjust the settings to get the maximum benefit with the least amount of negative consequences. (With my mother the negatives are that her speech can be impacted because getting her head to stop shaking makes her tongue not work as well, so they have to find the perfect balance.)
It's a physically demanding surgery for the implants and wires and power packs, but once you heal up and they turn it on and adjust the electrical stimulation it is just like this video. A dramatic change.
My mother has essential tremor, not Parkinson's, so there may be some differences.
@@oldauntzibby4395wow, that’s pretty amazing technology….
Wow that is amazing this actually made me tear up a bit . The look of relief on his face priceless. Had a loved one with this condition and it was hard wish they had something like this back then.
Oh he looked so happy when he stopped shaking! You know what, so was I....hope he is given this stimulator just for being the subject of this video. Had an uncle who died without ever experiencing the stoppage of those tremors. All they could do was scoop more parts of his brain which left him a different person than the sweet man he was. Rest in Peace Uncle Murray.
wow! Please make this accessible to everyone who really needs it!
My friend just got this done, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!
It is a game changer, her was so exhausted from shaking, now he is back to normal. Praise God.🙏
Truly a blessing. So happy for your friend.
So happy to hear that! Thank God ❤
Amazing
Do you know what the meds are please?
@@daveyg6473
It's a procedure called brain stimulator, they put wires in you head and insert a battery, you have, what looks just like a cell phone to operate it.
If you see a neurosurgeon I'm sure he will know about it. I hope this helps you
That brings me to tears. Technologically has gone a long way.
That smile at the end was everything
