Exciting news! Dr. Tutera, the physician who trained Dr.
Ashford to perform bio-identical hormone pellet replacement, is seeing great
results with early-onset Parkinson’s patients using SottoPelle® hormone
replacement therapy. These patients continue to make remarkable strides in a
variety of areas.
Parkinson’s patients using SottoPelle® report:
Reduced
progression of symptoms
Decreased need for
certain medications
Improved fitness
and endurance
Improved balance
and coordination
Increased mobility
and flexibility
Reduced tremor
When Parkinson’s disease (PD) strikes, it causes the failure
and death of critical nerve cells in the brain, called neurons. Parkinson’s
mainly affects neurons in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra.
These particular neurons produce dopamine. Dopamine, in turn, communicates with
the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. As PD
progresses, dopamine production decreases. This leaves a person unable to
control movement in a normal way. And this inhibits the ability to exercise and
maintain fitness.
SottoPelle® hormone replacement – specifically testosterone
replacement – allows those with Parkinson’s to once again exercise. It gives
them the motivation, endurance and stamina to make headway in physical fitness,
just as it does in those without the disease. In addition to this, the estradiol pellets increases
dopamine production and decreases inflammation in the female brain, as does the
testosterone in the male brain.
The steady flow uniform supply of needed hormones in the
blood stream around the clock for months at a time appears to be
beneficial. Parkinson’s patients using
SottoPelle® experience significant improvements in their conditions. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement with
Hormone pellets isn’t a cure-all for the disease, but it can forestall the
disease’s progression. This helps patients become more functional with less
medication.
