A Parkinson’s patient says his debilitating tremor vanished within minutes

A Parkinson’s patient says his debilitating tremor vanished within minutes thanks to a newly approved, non-invasive ultrasound treatment. For years, 72-year-old Air Force veteran Bud Leavell struggled with severe tremors that kept him from living life to its fullest. Then doctors at UT Southwestern used focused ultrasound waves to target precise areas deep in his brain... without opening his skull. At his latest follow-up, the tremor remained under control. His response when asked how he was doing? “What tremor?”

If you don't feel good for this man, you are not human, or you're just a miserable person. We need more positive stories like this in our daily lives.

His disease has progressed too far to receive this kind of treatment. Apparently, you have to be fairly "early" in the 5 stages of Parkinson.

My dad has Lewey Body Dementia and when I saw him last week I noticed his jaw line had a tremor while we were at lunch. The Parkinson’s is definitely setting in. Hopefully individuals with Lewey Bodies present in their system can benefit from this new treatment.

You’re a pathetic excuse for a human being. People like you are the reason we can’t have nice things.

Interesting.
My company provides high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer.
It also needs to be caught in the early stages in order to be effective.

Wonder if this could be effective for pancreatic cancer and gioblastomas if they're caught early enough?
Definitely could be a game-changer

Awesome. This is where tax dollars need to be going, to medical treatment research, not illegals, not other governments. Pot holes, research, infrastructure and national security.
