A man who’s managed his Parkinson’s symptoms on his own is coming to Parry Sound

Parkinson’s disease sufferers in the Parry Sound area can learn a unique way of managing their symptoms.

John Pepper is from South Africa and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1992 at the age of 58.  After his diagnosis, Pepper challenged himself to manage his symptoms by focusing his mind on his walking action.  That changed the neurological pathways in his brain, corrected the typical Parkinson’s shuffle, and reduced his hand tremors.

He doesn’t claim to be cured, but has spent the last 13 years travelling the world promoting his non-medical technique of managing Parkinson’s symptoms.  He’ll be stopping at Canadore College in Parry Sound on October 13^th at 6:30pm as part of his world tour.
