The common misconception is that most of the current treatments to PD are not leading to good long-term outcomes. Use of L-dopa medication such as levodopa in PD beyond very short-term use poses several concerns. Neurotoxicity is one of the key issues, as preclinical studies indicate that levodopa can induce oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Motor complications such as dyskinesia, wearing-off, and on-off phenomena are prevalent, with studies showing that 71.4% of patients on long-term therapy develop these issues, significantly impacting quality of life.
Additionally, cognitive functions can be adversely affected due to the dopamine overdose hypothesis, where exogenous dopamine can impair cognitive functions based on baseline dopamine levels in different brain regions. Furthermore, regular L-dopa administration can elevate homocysteine levels, contributing to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, exacerbating neurodegeneration. If the body makes it, don’t take it. Simply by supplementing dopamine the body undergoes a reduced endogenous synthesis of the very little dopamine it was able to make. This can sometimes drop endogenous production almost to nothing forcing a reliance on medication and guarantee of long-term consequences related to this treatment. [study, study, study, study, study]. Many Parkinson’s patients who take an excess of L-dopa experience ‘Tachyphylaxis’ which describes an acute, sudden decrease in response to a drug after its administration, i.e. a rapid and short-term onset of drug tolerance.
When L-dopa no longer works to alleviate Parkinson’s symptoms, the next line of treatment for Parkinson’s Disease is to implement deep brain stimulation (DBS). These electrodes are implanted within the brain into the substantia nigra to electrically stimulate the brain due to the lack of sunlight through the eye and skin that the patient is lacking, and it works temporarily. But because the charge is not produced endogenously due to the poor photoelectric properties of degraded neuromelanin within this area of the brain, PD symptoms usually remain. We know the therapies that help, and we know why, but the education required to elucidate the reactivation of endogenous photoelectrical communication within the human brain is not taught in medical schools leaving centralized neuro specialists with L-Dopa supplementation as an easy moneymaking temporary fix being reused for decades. The onset of PD is occurring faster than ever before in human history given the speed at which endogenous melatonin suppression, dopamine destruction and melanin degradation occurs in an environment dominated by manmade electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields. That means it’s really easy to develop a serious brain disease in a 5G environment with 25 wireless technological devices in the average home in 2024. When a person lives around nnEMF their free electrons are being oxidized and stolen. This leaves the body’s biological surfaces (eyes, skin, gut and lungs) unable to capture sunlight as effectively.
This means oxidative environmental effects need to be removed, with the most powerful in this modern world being artificial visible and non-visible light and then adding back in electrons to the biologic system via the myriads of ways of collecting electrons from the natural environment and then reintroducing powerful sunlight.
Thus, reducing the destructive fields must occur first for any hope of regenerating the dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra to restore motor function and all the other symptoms of PD. This process respects that the body is in somewhat of a state of informational disorder and reorganizing needs to take place before large amounts of powerful full spectrum native energy is added and effectively accepted by the body. You can see that the solution is not just a pill or a single practice but a rational process involving some education, discipline and guidance from experts along the way if necessary.
When sunlight enters the eye, it is photoelectrically tunneled like a fibre optic transfer through to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) within the hypothalamus and onto the habenula nucleus, where the energy and information are distributed throughout the brain and body, regulating biochemistry. The tract between the retina and habenula nucleus has no synapses, indicating light conduction into the brain with photoreceptive tissue at the habenula nucleus. This tract is filled with semiconductors, water networks, photoreceptive pigments, and Mueller cells. The first synaptic stop for this photoelectrical signal after the SCN is the pituitary. When this signal is disrupted or received from an artificial unbalanced light source, this pathway and all subsequent secretions from the hypothalamus, pituitary, and prefrontal center are affected.
Individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) have higher incidences of melanoma and hypothyroidism due to disrupted native full spectrum light signals. When the necessary light signal is altered before reaching the hypothalamus, pituitary, or habenula nucleus, it affects the pituitary’s regulation of the thyroid, leading to hypothyroid conditions. The thyroid hormone T3 powers neuron and motor functions, explaining why PD symptoms worsen and cognitive changes occur. The degradation of melanin in the substantia nigra due to artificial EMF or lack of full spectrum sunlight results in its migration, leading to melanoma when exposed to artificial blue light and non-native EMF. The loss of neuromelanin in PD sufferers causes reduced melanin in the skin, a feature of early PD.
Solar light, rather than drugs or hormone therapies, is crucial in regulating the human adaptive immune system. In cases of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), the immune system becomes dysfunctional, leading to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain. Restoring the brain’s circadian rhythm through the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) within the hypothalamus can enhance mitochondrial function, reduce perivascular spaces, and improve glymphatic flow. This process helps clear alpha-synuclein, beta-amyloid, tau proteins, and other misfolded proteins, thereby restoring coherence within the brain’s water networks, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, lymph, interstitial fluid, and cytoplasmic fluid. Such restoration improves dopamine and melatonin levels, leading to the recovery of the substantia nigra and motor cortex to a functional neuromuscular state.
To support this, it is essential to ensure that dopamine, neuromelanin, noradrenaline, melatonin, serotonin, thyroid hormone, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) are restored and well regulated. This requires the eyes and skin to receive balanced ultraviolet sunlight, including a full spectrum of light rays, with 51% red and infrared light. This light excites the benzene rings within the aromatic amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan, facilitating the restoration of brain function. Additionally, consuming key nutrients found in the marine food chain, such as the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, iodine, and sodium chloride, is crucial. These steps can revitalize the brain’s complex systems, often referred to as the "quantum computer" of the body.
Accumulating neuromelanin in the substantia nigra through disciplined exposure to full-spectrum sunlight and proper nutrition can restore dopamine-producing neurons, leading to improved executive cognition and neuromuscular function. This approach may offer significant benefits over traditional medical solutions. Before opting for drugs, supplements, diet plans, or exercise regimes, consider prioritizing light hygiene. Furthermore, while treatments like L-Dopa supplementation or deep brain stimulation (DBS)/pallidotomy may repair the substantia nigra, they do not address the skin, pituitary, SCN, or retina, meaning that PD may not be fully reversed without a comprehensive approach.
Examples of poor immune function, such as Lyme disease, Bartonella, and viral particles in the blood, indicate environmental defects rather than internal issues. Functional medicine and alternative doctors often mislead patients into unnecessary treatments, unaware of how solar light programs the adaptive immune system. Prioritize changing your light hygiene before resorting to drugs or supplements. Light controls the immune response depending on the time of day, affecting test results based on natural settings or timing. When infections arise, it suggests an environment filled with non-native electromagnetic fields (nnEMF) and blue light, causing toxic pathogens to escape and harm mitochondria.
The energy and information emitted during healing, known as biophotons, were identified by Dr. Fritz Albert Popp and later detailed by Dutch biophysicist Roeland van Wijk. These ultra-weak ultraviolet light photons, when leaked excessively, signal unwellness, revealing struggling organs through photomultiplier readings. Chronic energy and information loss lead to severe diseases, first affecting the neocortex. For adults, this very commonly manifests as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and ALS, while in children or those in utero, it appears as Autism, ADD, and ADHD. Diseases like major depressive disorder, PD, and ADHD are characterized by low dopamine levels in the brain, whereas schizophrenia involves erratic, often elevated dopamine levels, showcasing the varied expressions and behaviors stemming from dysfunctional dopamine levels.
Focusing on the PD dopamine deficit, dopamine deficit lowers the signal-to-noise ratio in a person's ability to sense their environment via the five senses integrating within the thalamus in the brain. This loss of signal-to-noise ratio prevents the body from coherently harmonizing with external environmental signals. A good example of this is our auditory sense: low dopamine makes it difficult to distinguish a person in front of you talking from the background noise, and patterns become harder to detect. With a PD dopamine deficit, following one conversation or train of thought can be challenging because all conversations or thoughts sound equally loud, making it hard to pick out a continuous stream. Instead, the unmedicated PD brain often picks up bits and pieces from several different streams of conversation or thought. Random firing neurons make up the background noise in the brain, like all the voices at a party not part of your conversation. The person whose voice you focus on, ignoring all the others, is the signal amidst the noise. When dopamine within the brain improves, the signal-to-noise ratio increases; the background noise fades, and your conversation partner’s voice becomes distinct and easy to follow. Dopamine turns up the volume on the audio signals at the party compared to the background noise, making it easier to decipher the conversation and act properly on it. This leaves people with PD open to issues with maintaining attention spans. The main factor in a low dopamine PD brain is the lack of energy available to the body to fold proteins correctly. The amount of electromagnetic energy that you emit or absorb into your system is directly proportional to the structure of proteins in your body. This is a crucial point as it demonstrates how someone with PD can continue to be unable to organize the energy and information it receives from nature into a healing, regenerative, and restorative program. This demonstrates that they may need more time in nature to reorganize their brains to begin to accept the powerful natural signals once again and optimize dopamine, melatonin, mitochondrial function, and neurological coordination once again.
Pro Tip: Vitamin C + Endogenous melatonin, dopamine and melanin synthesis via sunlight, grounding, mitigating nnEMF and HEVL + infrared light + a mitochondrial health focus = regeneration of dopaminergic neurons = optimal dopamine = PD symptom reversal.
