House of Representatives Passes National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act
Bill heads to Senate for final vote
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On December 14, 2023, the House of Representatives passed the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act (H.R.2365/S.1064). This bill is no-cost legislation that will create an advisory council comprising members of federal agencies, people living with Parkinson’s, care partners, researchers, clinicians, and other non-federal experts. With the validation of a Parkinson’s biomarker earlier this year, there is no better time for the federal government to join the private sector in supporting research for a cure.
“The passage of the National Plan will have a monumental impact on the over 16,000 Alabama residents who live with Parkinson’s disease every day, not to mention family members, caregivers, researchers, and members of the medical community who face the reality of Parkinson’s head on day after day,” said Bibby S. Bailey, Executive Director and CEO of Parkinson Association of Alabama, Inc. “On behalf of our community, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the House of Representatives including our Alabama State Representatives in favor of this bill, for their unwavering support as we work together to ensure better treatments, earlier diagnoses, and ultimately, a cure for Parkinson’s.”
The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act will create an advisory council comprising members of federal agencies that support research, care, and services for Parkinson’s, plus patients, care partners, researchers, clinicians, and other non-federal experts. The advisory council will host meetings throughout the year and provide a report to Congress and the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services that contains evaluations of all federally funded programs related to Parkinson’s. The report will also include recommendations on priority actions to prevent and cure Parkinson’s, improve health outcomes, reduce the financial impact of the disease on patients and the federal government, and limit exposures to environmental risk factors. The goal of the council is to ensure efficient and effective coordination among all federal entities with responsibility for managing, treating, and curing Parkinson’s disease.
More than 1 million Americans currently live with Parkinson’s disease in the U.S., including 110,000 veterans. It is the second most common and fastest-growing neurological disease, with 90,000 Americans receiving new diagnoses each year. Right now, Parkinson's costs the U.S. about $52 billion annually, and there is no treatment to slow, stop or reverse disease progression.
Parkinson’s disease is such a difficult condition, and when my husband was diagnosed, it was heartbreaking for our whole family. Watching someone you love face the challenges of Parkinson’s is never easy, and we wanted to find additional support for him.Our family doctor recommended that we look into NaturePath Clinic, so we decided to learn more about their herbal program. From the beginning, we appreciated the care, kindness, and support we received throughout the process.I’m sharing our experience because I know how difficult it can be to find support when someone you love is living with Parkinson’s. Every family’s experience is different, but we are grateful for the encouragement and support NaturePath Clinic has provided to our family. ❤️

My 68 year old Husband who suffered from muscle tiredness brought on by chronic fatigue in its early stages. Neurologists first had difficulty diagnosing it until multiple examinations indicated MSA, for which there was no known cure other than the prescription of levodopa medications, vitamins, and therapies. More advancements in breathing difficulties, before we made the decision to try different medications, which significantly enhanced his condition. He received MSA-5 treatment for MSA at Limitlessnaturalwellness.com from the U.S approximately four months ago; since then, he sleeps well, works out frequently, and has become very active. it has improved his quality of life. .
Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven't won the Lotto I've been playing for so long, I haven't been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now…
My health improved 100% when I stopped taking all western medicine and turned to a nutrition lifestyle by changing my eating habits and diet, I avoid prepackaged foods full of chemicals. I purchased Herbal Formula from World Rehabilitate Clinic, I was literally bedbound for about 3 years. But now I have NONE of the issues they diagnosed me with years ago....all done without the help of western medicine. I am not prescribing medicine or supplements but If anyone chose to follow the regimen I chose I will be happy for them, conversely if anyone chooses not to believe, I will fully understand that as I probably wouldn't believe the story if I hadn't lived it.
