PARKINSON'S DISEASE HISTORY:
Parkinson's is a condition that has been known about since ancient times. It is referred to in the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda under the name Kampavata. In Western medical literature it was described by the physician Galen as "shaking palsy" in AD 175. However, it was not until 1817 that a detailed medical essay was published on the subject by London doctor James Parkinson. The publication was entitled "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy". This established Parkinson's disease as a recognized medical condition. Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called motor system disorders. It is a neurological disorder that results from the death of dopamine-producing cells. According to Parkinsons.org

SYMPTOMS INLCUDES:

• Tremors - the most noticeable early symptom. It often begins very localized, such as in a finger of one hand. Over time it spreads throughout the whole arm. Tremors often occur when the limb is at rest or when held in a stiff, unsupported position. Tremors also may occur in the lips, feet or tongue.
• Bradykinesia- slowness of motion. The individual's movements become increasingly slow and over time muscles may randomly "freeze".
• Akinesia- muscle rigidity. Often begins in the legs and neck. These muscles become very stiff. When it affects the muscles of the face the individual adopts a mask like stare.
• Digestion problems- the ability to process food slows down, resulting in low energy and constipation.
• Depression- Parkinson's causes chemical changes in the brain that may result in depression. This can be an early warning sign, but as depression becomes more common in older adults, it is not often associated with the disease.
• Low Blood Pressure- can result in light headedness and fainting.
• Temperature sensitivity- perception of temperature can be affected, and may result in hot flashes and excessive sweating.
• Leg discomfort- some patients report burning sensations and cramp in the legs.
• Balance- There is a progressive loss of coordination and sense of balance, putting the individual at risk of falls.

As Parkinson’s disease progresses, patients have a hard time completing everyday tasks like walking and talking. The disease typically affects people over the age of 50, and symptoms come on subtly and slowly and most treatments do not offer the relief wanted. It is suspected that nearly one million Americans are living with it - and 60,000 were diagnosed last year, with the disease most common in women. Parkinson’s is difficult to diagnose, however, a neurologist can only look at the symptoms and diagnose the patient. (SOURCE: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke)

GOOD VIBRATIONS:
Jean-Martin Charcot was a 19th century neurologist who developed a treatment by using a vibrating chair after noticing that Parkinson’s victims found more relief and comfort and had a reduction in symptoms and tremors after train and carriage rides. Generations later, in 2010, the Harmonic Comfort System is recognized as the leader in vibrating chair technologies.

RELIEF FOR SUFFERERS:
If you have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, our Harmonic Comfort System can help you. The Harmonic Comfort System vibrating chair is a non-traditional therapy method in which the person is subjected to not only body vibrations, but sound vibrations to find relief of tremors. The chair is equipped with strategically-placed transducers that deliver low frequency vibrations throughout the body. The chair has shown to significantly impact the quality of life. Walking and posture test results showed significant improvement and relief in both. When compared with conventional therapies used to treat Parkinson’s, the vibration therapy was 25 % more efficient in reversing clinical symptoms. In the trial tests, the participants underwent the therapy for 15 minutes, 5 days a week. Scientists hope that use of both conventional and vibration therapies will reduce the symptoms greatly.
