Do you know of Freddie Powers, who has Parkinson’s?


by: dan t on Wed, Sep 05 2007

He is associated with Merle Haggart and Willie Nelson. If you are familiar with Freddie Powers, you will want to search for two web sites to see what he has to say about a new treatment for Parkinson’s that has helped him tremendously.

Freddie records with Willie Nelson and has played with Merle Haggart. He had to stop touring due to Parkinson’s. He didn’t want operations and implants and finally was convinced to try a new approach, a treatment that works on chronic pain and other types of neurological disorders. He is so glad he gave this new method a chance.

You can see a brief clip of him in a video made in the clinic of the doctor who developed this non-invasive treatment.
You can find out more about this doctor by checking out these two web sites. Be sure to view the videos and look for Freddie. There are three videos, and he and his wife are in one of them.

I visited with Freddie and his wife personally and wanted to pass along this information to others who might want to see how Freddie is doing and who might want to look into this treatment.

My best to all.
