Parkinson's Protocol Revised
This is a revision to my original protocol posted on Facebook in April of 2026. I continue to work on improving the quality of care available to you or to someone you know who may benefit from this information. While not many new items are being added to the protocol, the ones I am now including are important. I'll also endeavor to be clear and uncomplicated in my updates. To those of you who follow me and to those who may benefit, I sincerely hope that you find this information useful every day. Thank you for your questions; they inspire and drive me to be a better Doctor for all.
I developed this protocol for a friend who has been dealing with this affliction for the past four years. I'm not going to call Parkinson's a disease, because it's not. It is, in my opinion, the result of accumulated toxins, heavy metals in the brain, along with some residual bacterial and viral presence, and stress. To clear this successfully and restore your state of health to where it was prior to its onset, the following steps will help. How much they help and how soon is dependent on you and your willingness to recover. Nothing else, no meds, period.
First, gut health is essential. The balance between good and not-so-good bacteria needs to be reestablished. You do this by using a multi-strain probiotic daily. This is best taken before food, each morning. Of particular importance is a bacterial strain known as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, formerly called (Lactobacillus plantarum). This particular strain that is commonly found in fermented foods. It has been shown to improve digestion, brain health, and has anti-viral and antioxidant properties as well. There are several published articles on this probiotic. I think that it's good for you to do some research for yourselves. The National Institute for Health and others have information available. The more that you learn about things that help you, the more inclined you will be to use them. Sitting and waiting for the next new wonder drug to be produced is not a strategy to regain your health. Active self-participation is.
Second, the use of digestive enzymes taken with food to be able to actually extract the nutrients from the food that you are eating is needed. These are taken with each meal, each day. If you purchase a supplement, be sure that it has the following enzymes, not just a single enzyme. It should have Amylase, which breaks down starch, Lipase, which breaks down fats, Lactase, which breaks down sugar in dairy, Sucrase, which breaks down common table sugar, and Protease, which breaks down proteins. Additionally, you will need Systemic Proteolytic enzymes taken between meals. These enzymes are commonly called Bromelain, Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Pancreatin. The job of these enzymes is to break down proteins in the bloodstream and tissues. They are very important in our goal to break down brain plaques. They also clean the blood of particulate matter, bacteria, and viruses that should not be there. Left unattended, these migrate to the brain, cause inflammation, and the subsequent formation of plaque, along with damage to neurons, dendrites, and affect hormone production. That's how you got this affliction in the first place.
Third, we need to add some amino acids and oils to help the damaged brain repair itself. Coconut oil taken at 1000 mg three times a day repairs damaged nerve endings while the amino acids NAC (N-Acetylcysteine), Taurine, Choline, and Proline assist in this process. I’ll also mention that increasing the level of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) in the body has been shown to greatly improve brain health. I recommend a supplement called Tru Niagen, which uses a patented form of vitamin B3 to raise the levels by about 50%. This is a pricey product that you can substitute with vitamin B3. Along these same lines is a vital fatty acid called PS (Phosphatidylserine). This helps to protect your brain cells, aids in neuron communication, and supports overall brain function. It is commonly available as are all of the supplements that I refer to.
Fourth, to help reduce inflammation and clear debris from the brain, Curcumin and vitamin D3, taken daily, are needed. Please note that you should be getting your magnesium and potassium from fresh foods, eaten or juiced daily.
Fifth, physical movement is needed to awaken and stimulate nerve transmission and muscle motor movement. My training as a TCM Doc has me favoring Qi gong, which is a TCM medical exercise. Exercise should be done at least once but preferably three times a day for 30 minutes each session.
Sixth, Acupuncture and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) formulas are used to alleviate pain, increase circulation, and stimulate your body's own natural stem cell production. Acupuncture (estim) at points DU20 and STS36 will increase the stem cell production by 200-300%. Acupuncture is also used to guide these stem cells to the brain to speed the recovery. A TCM formula called Tian ma gou teng yin, has been successfully used to help reduce muscle tremors and spasms. A board-certified licensed acupuncturist can order that for you. I’ve also seen it available online.
Seventh, there are light and sound therapies. Red light pulsed at 40Hz, and sound at the same frequency has been demonstrated to speed the reduction of brain plaques and help to clear this particulate matter. In an article from the Picower Institute they discuss how this has been shown to be effective in mouse studies. While we are not rodents, we’re close in many ways. You can wait for the studies, double blind trials, etc., or you can help to heal yourself now by taking advantage of these technologies. You can purchase a Red Light therapy device for about $100.00 US and a sound generator for about the same. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on this equipment.
Lastly, your unwavering belief, prayer, and daily affirmations that you will recover will prevail. Parkinson's is not a death sentence. Your diagnosis was a pronouncement placed upon you by someone who does not know or chooses not to give you the information and tools that you need to recover. Be their motivation, medical, political, or monetary.
There are many Parkinson's groups posting erroneous information, pronouncing doom and despair. Stay away from negativity. It cures nothing. The Western meds also cure nothing. Not one person, anywhere, ever.
Please share this post as you like. I wish you a return to health. You were there before, and you can return.
I receive no compensation from any product, person or organization for this information. This is not medical advice; it is my professional opinion.
May you heal as you were designed and intended to.

In the next few days I'll be posting some updates for my Parkinson's protocol. I'm constantly researching ways to improve the protocol and make it more effective. My desire is to shorten the time that it takes to recover fully. Oftentimes in medicine it is the incremental changes that have the greatest cumulative effect, not the big exponential change. I have good news coming soon. It takes me a bit to put these things together, but check back later this week. I'll try to post the updates by weeks end.

As many of you know, I've been trying to help people with Parkinson’s Disease. This illness traces back London in the late 1800's. That's a time when industrial pollution was heavy, primarily from factories belching lung blackening smoke from manufacturing. Fast forward to our world today. While environmental controls and public outcry have lessened the most visually obvious pollutants, they've been replaced by invisible and silent toxins in our food, water and air. Think Round up, cell phone towers with stacks of high powered signal boosters and more. This, I believe has led to a dramatic increase in neurological illnesses, chief among them Parkinson’s, Alzheimers and Autism.
I learned a long time ago that I can't save everyone. That knowledge has done little to stop me from trying. Along the way I became acutely aware that in our country, the money is in perpetuating illness not healing sickness. Our pharmaceutical companies crank out new medication daily. Most with lovely melodic names. To go with these medications they co-invent illnesses, that they treat. Let me say clearly, no one has a Lexapro deficiency. We are humans, organic by creation composed of carbon, hydrogen, and a host of other minerals. Nothing synthetic, cures any thing organic, that means you.
In many of the groups related to Parkinson’s I see a commoalities that repeat themselves. No matter if it is someone who was diagnosed yesterday or years ago. People lament their medications and say "my doctor put me on, or, my doctor has me on" and then they name multiple synthetic drugs. My question to them is... did you say yes? Many didn't know they could have said no, what are my other options. There are always options in medical treatment. Nothing is incurable. But like I said, there's no dough in health.
My education and background is in Eastern or Traditional Chinese Medicine as it's called. I m also board certified in Western Bio-medicine. Additionally, I utilize Orthomolecular medicine(therapeutic dosage vitamins and minerals) in constructing treatment protocols. I have found that each system of medicine has both good and not so good things to draw from.
I've reviewed, analyzed and considered the treatment options available for Parkinson's patients and they are not good. The medications often prescribed have truly horrifying side effects, or as I prefer to say known effects. Whether or not any one or the other touches you, we'll, that's a roll of the dice. in light of this dismal situation I developed a holistic protocol to treat and reverse this illness. In the next few days I'll be posting it. There is no charge for the information. I am not compensated in any way by any person or company and I have zero financial gain. I offer it to you for your consideration. Dr. Joel Kuperman, DOM, AP

For those with Parkinson's Disease:

I would recommend a holistic recovery plan. The plan should include nutrition, exercise and faith with the belief that you can recover. Elements of your plan should include Probiotics, Digestive and Systemic enzyme supplements. It is important to balance the gut bacteria with the probiotics (multi strains). The enzymes should be both digestive taken with your meals and Systemic, taken between meals. The digestive enzymes help you to extract nutrients from your food and the systemic enzymes help to breakdown and remove harmful plaques from the brain. These plaque formation are a result of the brain trying to shield and protect itself from toxins, like heavy metals, bacteria and Lectins. The idea is to remove this material so that your brain can function normally again. Along with this you should add physical exercise to strengthen the body and mental exercises to build new neural pathways in the brain. Recovery is possible and it will take time to repair the damage done. If you have a bycycle you should find that even if you have tremors and difficulty walking, you can ride the bycycle without tremors. This exercise also helps to build the new neural pathways. Acupuncture is helpful in the same way. The use of estimate (electrical stimulation) at Acupuncture points DU20 and ST36 will increase your body's own natural stem cell production by 300%. I highly recommend it. In addition, Qi gong, a Chinese medical form of exercise will be very helpful. Please seek out a Licensed Acupuncturist for treatment. All of these things together should be a part of your daily plan for recovery. Key to progress and recovery are consistently and a strong belief that you can recover. Do not accept that PD is incurable. Dr. Joel Kuperman, DOM, AP.

Please share this post with anyone who may benefit. I don't sell anything. I provide help for those who ask. I do this and work for the greatest physician of all time, Jesus Christ, who healed the incurable, lived, died and lives again.

I'm a TCM *Traditional Chinese Medicine) doc. I help people who ask. I don't sell anything, period. Lately, I have been helping Parkinson's disease patients to realize that the disease is not a death sentence. It's a problem that can be remedied, although few understand how to treat this and other so-called "incurable" illnesses. There are many systems of medicine other than Western (Allopathic) medicine available. Eastern medicine is particularly good as it treats the root cause of an illness, not just the symptoms, to restore a person's health. I can provide a roadmap for anyone who asks about how they may recover from Parkinson's. All you need to do is ask.

Please share this message if you know anyone who might benefit.

Parkinson's Disease is not incurable. When a healthcare provider tells you that, they either don't know how to remedy this illness or they have a monetary incentive not to. Usually, it's both. There is zero money in health; there is a ton of money in continuous treatment and procedures.

Stem cells can be key to restoring an improved state of health and mobility for Parkinson's patients and many others. In my private practice in Florida I utilized this technique to help restore vision to patients with Macular degeneration. Yet another state illness that is thought to be incurable. it's not.

Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture's therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.

Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization—providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture's effects.

Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain—where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It's like acupuncture triggers the body's internal repair dispatch system.

Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological—traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We're discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

For those of you who have asked, "What the heck is your cover photo?"
That is an actual picture of my back taken after a Gua Sha treatment. The darker areas that appear to be bruises are what are referred to in TCM as "Sha". Sha is drawn up through the tissue by scraping the surface of the skin with a special tool, generally made of different types of stone. The impurities and stagnant blood in the body are drawn up to be carried out of the body via the bloodstream, perspiration, and urine. If you look closely, you will notice that the Sha on my back forms the outline of my lungs. The surface of the back is directly over the back of the lungs. I had smoked for many years earlier in my life, but had not smoked in over 25 years when this treatment was done. That's how long toxins can remain trapped in the tissue of the body, and longer if not released. So when folks wonder how someone can develop respiratory disease and cancer of the lungs when they haven't smoked in years, look at the picture. That's why. The good news is that damage can be reversed and the lungs returned to a state of improved health.
