Video Vault - A DBS Success Story!
Updated: Aug 2, 2022
We are resurfacing this video because it is just too good not to share again and again!
Rusty and Carol Stewart take us on Carol's journey with the neurologists at UAB through Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an elective surgical procedure in which electrodes are implanted into certain brain areas. These electrodes, or leads, generate electrical impulses that control abnormal brain activity.
Many people are very nervous about the procedure (including Carol) because the surgery generally happens while the patient is awake. Additionally, there is also the need to adjust or program the stimulation during and post-surgery to better capture symptoms.
According to the National Library of Medicine's Center for Biotechnology information, 92.5% were happy with the results they got from DBS, 95% would recommend DBS to others, and 75% felt it provided symptom control.
Dr. Harrison Walker of UAB explains the process in this video with Carol. The short video also explains why Carol decided to get DBS, and follows up with her progress six months after the procedure. Carol states, "I never recall experiencing any pain during the procedure; the doctors and team at UAB made sure that I was in no discomfort. For me, it has been a humbling and wonderful experience."
If you are interested in DBS and would like to learn more, consult with your Neurologist or Movement Disorder Specialist to see if you are a candidate for this potential procedure.

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.

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…
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My mobility declined, tremors increased, and I experienced growing fatigue and discomfort that affected my daily life. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My energy improved, the discomfort eased, and I felt stronger and more capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina, balance, and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more…
