My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) four years ago. For over two years, we relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, his symptoms continued to worsen. His memory, coordination, and overall strength declined, and everyday life became increasingly difficult.Last year, out of desperation and hope, we decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, we began to notice real changes. His alertness improved, his movements became steadier, and he regained a surprising amount of energy and clarity.Incredibly, he also regained much of his independence and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience he feels more like himself again, better than…
Richard was a wonderful stepdad as well, and grandfather to my son Toby. He was such a good teacher and so creative. We bonded over reading and history, he was the person who taught me to shoot a gun, he loved to weld metal figurines for me to put in my house and garden, which I will keep forever. Toby loved receiving the little care packages he would mail us, which always included cars and toy guns. We miss you, Grandpa. - Cam and Toby
