Parkinson's since December 2020
My path without medication
I document how I live with Parkinson's: with alternative healing methods, tested on myself and measured with the MDS-UPDRS. Open, candid and with all my medical findings.
Everything here describes my personal experience and is not medical advice.

My website in 4 minutes
In this short trailer I explain who I am, what I have tried and what you will find on this website. Below it is my full documentary in English.
My path without medication
The full documentary: the diagnosis, the methods I tested and the results.
Who am I?
Tom Parkinson is a pseudonym. I was born in 1970, I am an entrepreneur, and I value my privacy. In December 2020 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and a DaTscan confirmed it in January 2021.
All my doctors advised me to take medication. I decided against it, at least for now, and searched worldwide for other ways. In the first six months things went noticeably downhill. Since I became active, my condition has stabilized. In 2026 my measurements show somewhat more tremor again, and being open about that is part of it too.
What is this website about?
I share all my experiences with the methods I use myself: from the state of research to the costs to what I observe. Including what did not help me.
The human body is a system. If you rely on a single method, you miss opportunities. What works for me does not have to work for everyone. But this website can help you ask the right questions and find your own path.
My third book, fall 2026
2020 to 2026. My Path Without Medication
Six years, told year by year. All methods for reference, each with a candid assessment of what research says. With everything that went well and everything that did not work.
"If I had had this information at the beginning of my diagnosis, I would have been spared half a year of depression."
5,000 euro reward
I will pay 5,000 euros to the first person who can prove with medical records that they, too, have kept their Parkinson's stable without medication since a diagnosis before 2021.
