Diane has Hypomimia aka masked face
When she exercises with TREMOREX, her facial muscles are restored. Her trembling lips and chin, asymmetrical smile, distorted mouth movements and drooling cease or substantially improve. Her complexion seems to brighten, she becomes attentive, has expression, engages in conversation, smiles, laughs and even cracks jokes. And she does this during the TREMOREX exercise performing maneuvers that challenge her balance and coordination. She walks with TREMOREX in both hands moving it in a variety of alternating directions; overhead, extended in front, in a figure 8 pattern, whilst she walks backwards, steps side to side, twists, pivots, bounces on flexed knees and lunges. It was observed that the further into the exercise she got, the more aggressive her maneuvers became. She explained she lost her fear. She gained confidence as she felt stronger and in more control.
At the 1st TREMOREX session, I met with several people that had serious Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. Diane did a 15-minute TX session. After the meeting, Tim described a profound improvement in Diane’s symptoms. Before TX, she was pale, expressionless, motionless, and spoke in a low volume and monotone manner. After TX, Diane’s symptoms were greatly reduced. She got up walked around, joined in conversation, smiled and color in her face returned.
Two months later, several people including Bill, who participated in that 1st TX session, and his wife Karen met at Starbuck’s. Bill and Karen commented on the remarkable transformation they had observed in Diane. It was like what Tim described. Whereas I had not noticed the transformation, I was totally preoccupied with the profound improvement in Bill’s hand and leg tremor, this unsolicited observation, verbalized more than 2 months later, stimulated my interest in pursuing further activity with Diane.
At the 2nd TREMOREX session, I met with Diane and observed her PD symptoms in full force. She moved very slowly and cautiously, spoke in a monotone at a volume that could hardly be heard, her masked face symptoms were clearly visible, and she asked me if her lips were trembling. She seemed so weak and frail I took care to ease her into the TX exercise. Within a minute or so and much to my surprise, she stood up, starting walking around, conversing, smiling and launched into a vigorous dance or exercise routine. The TX session lasted 12 minutes after which I asked her how she felt. I expected to hear “fantastic” or words to that effect, but she said, “no different”. I concluded her awareness of her symptoms was nil.
Diane was unaware of the transformation several people had observed. I wanted her husband Ernie to witness it firsthand and to video record the event. So, I arranged a 3rd TX session.
At the 3rd TREMOREX session, I met with Diane and her husband Ernie 45 minutes before Diane attended a 1 hour physical therapy session for Parkinson’s Disease patients. As we very slowly ascended the staircase to the 2nd floor conference room, Ernie had one hand on the small of Diane’s back and the other holding her arm. He was instructing Diane; place your weight on your right foot etc. Diane was having freeze episodes. Diane’s overall movement was consistent with the other times I met with her; unstable, slow and indecisive. While sitting at the conference table, Diane started a TREMOREX exercise session. I asked her to stand up and walk around. Ernie expressed concern because Diane loses her balance easily; especially when both hands are occupied, she does more than one thing at a time, makes sharp turns etc. But while we were discussing Ernie’s concerns, Diane got up and started an improvisational series of maneuvers resembling an exercise routine described earlier.
At the 4th TREMOREX session, Diane postponed her scheduled medication so her “before” symptoms would occur when her medication was at its lowest efficacy and at their worse.
Whereas I wanted to record the staircase ascent, Ernie was particularly concerned as Diane was in an “Off” state and had Diane take the elevator. I waited at the elevator; recorder in hand and expected Diane to emerge in a state of heightened PD symptoms. But much to Ernie and my surprise, she appeared with hardly any visible PD symptoms.
Nevertheless, we went thru a full TREMOREX session and the results were similar but superior to any previous results.
After the TREMOREX exercise, Diane sat down, read script and conversed. She commented, “I don’t feel super energized, but I do feel good” and “I haven’t taken my pills since 7 o’clock this morning so they’ve completely worn off…. but, I’m still the more functioning”. Then added, “I feel a little more energetic” followed by “like I could walk a mile now”. These feelings lasted through the following physical therapy class.
Ernie expressed amazement that Diane had the energy, balance, control and demeaner to sustain a nearly flawless aggressive performance over the period from TREMOREX until after the physical therapy session. Ernie commented, “where did she get all that energy” and “she kept going and going and going” and “she had no ‘Off’ episodes”.
This following what should have been the precarious ascent of the stairs and avoiding them by using the elevator.
Overall, Diane’s symptoms; all of them, were hardly noticeable; before, during and after TREMOREX.
But, why were her PD symptoms absent?
I forward my theory; Diane’s surprisingly good before symptoms are a long-term result of the previous 3rd TREMOREX session performed 3 weeks earlier. In Ben and Bill cases; their movement and cognitive disorders were mitigated for protracted periods after a few TREMOREX sessions. We found that as Ben continued to do TREMOREX sessions every day the before and after tremor measurements converged; the before improved and matched the after. We stopped TREMOREX exercises and continued to measure his tremor. After 1 ½ months there was no change. We never did find out how long this condition lasted because we commenced another phase of our experiment.
And, why did TREMOREX have such a systemic effect?
There are several if not many variables that influence the effectivity of TREMOREX including; frequency, amplitude, load, anchoring, attitude and duration of exercise.
Diane discovered a means of incorporating most of what we have learned thus far. She experienced systemic PD symptom suppression; movement and cognitive disorders, attributable to the unique combination of TREMOREX and her PEP4U exercise routine. By moving TREMOREX in a multitude of directions and attitudes and conversely, dynamically positioning her body parts, the forced motion of TREMOREX was applied to a multitude of reflex circuits. Instead of a 3-dimensional TREMOREX that is statically positioned to individual reflex circuits, Diane’s exercise routine applied a 2-dimensional TREMOREX to a multitude of reflex circuits.
Furthermore, she was able to do those vigorous maneuvers while engaged in conversations, making jokes, laughing and with no masked face symptoms.
TREMOREX mitigated movement and cognitive disorders
I believe that impaired reflexive, involuntary and automatic movement causes the brain to supplement or replace these normally delegated responsibilities with voluntary movement. The brain becomes preoccupied micromanaging each distinct normally automatic movement. That is why movement is small, slow and staccato, and why posture and concentration is defensive, and why PD patients are said to not be able to walk and talk at the same time. When delegated movement is restored, the brain is free to perform unencumbered cognitive functions.
If the brain is used to execute voluntary movement to supplement, replace or mitigate automatic movement, cognitive demands wait in line to be fulfilled.
By walking, talking, listening and thinking while doing a TREMOREX exercise, Diane subjected herself to cognitive demands at the same time her movement demands were heightened.
The brain became free to think
Conclusion: TREMOREX coupled with exercise routines is a major step in TREMOREX optimization.
