My name is John Coleman and I’m an experienced naturopath from Victoria, Australia.

After winning my own battle against Parkinson’s disease, I’ve helped hundreds of other sufferers of this cruel disease to improve their health, reverse their symptoms and reduce medication usage, using the natural regimen I used to help myself. In fact, many have reversed all their symptoms and enjoy wonderful health without medication.

John commenced his naturopathic practice at the end of 1998 after achieving his own recovery from advanced Parkinson’s disease and early-stage Multi System Atrophy.

MY JOURNEY AND RECOVERY

Since you’re here, you’ve probably heard my story about how I recovered from stage IV Parkinson’s Disease and early stage multi-system atrophy, and am now completely symptom free!

Five months after I collapsed in August 1995, I got the devastating prognosis. Doctors predicted that, as my condition progressed, I would eventually end up as helpless as a baby needing full-time care. Remember, I had stage IV Parkinson’s disease on the Hoehn and Yahr scale (127/199 on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale – UPDRS); my next step was full time care!

But there was no way I was going to accept that. So I embarked on a journey of discovery, consulted doctors and complementary health practitioners, read hundreds of scientific studies and abstracts in the hope that they could unlock the secrets to beating this awful disease.

But none of them could give me the answers I needed, and I realized that I would have to find my own solution.

TODAY…

Today, more than 21 years after my recovery, I am completely symptom-free and enjoy great health.

My 12-step Parkinson’s Recovery Program is a compilation of all the knowledge and understanding I gained during my own journey to health, presented in a simple and practical way to help you reverse your own symptoms and move towards living without symptoms.
