Officially, Parkinson's is still incurable in Western medicine.
Cases of possible cure or reversal of symptoms occur in very strong or highly motivated people (Robert Rodgers has collected numerous cases since 2004. His mother had Parkinson's). And in Hindu and Chinese medicine, it is considered a difficult disease to treat, but not incurable.
The same is said about Alzheimer's or Multiple Sclerosis, but there are doctors/neurologists who have called it into question: Seignalet, Bradesen, Newport, Swank, Wahls...
Many neurologists speak of a syndrome and some propose different therapies (Coimbra, Costantini, Birkmayer, Perlmutter). The cause would be multiple (and maybe impossible to know exactly). It must therefore be treated as something that is multifactorial, due to multiple deficiencies (Hinz speaks of 29)...
The Hindus and the Chinese created multi-modal and multi-phase treatments centuries ago. Their products and therapies (massages, acupuncture, movements) treat all possible routes of damage (detoxification, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, liver protection, good nutrition, etc.).
The cause may persist (high stress sensitivity to stress, genetic aspects, etc.) or not (high stress stage already overcome, poor nutrition, etc.). Outside of current Western medicine, there are no incurable diseases. Difficult to treat/cure, yes, but not impossible. But we already know many antidotes: anti-stress magnesium, epigenetic measures, Mediterranean diet and phytotherapy, etc.
One can follow the orthodox Western path, the Eastern ones, a mixture of both (there are very interesting studies on madopar together with Chinese formulas), or the external ways of highly motivated patients (Freeman, Pepper, Coleman, Shifke). Whatever the choice, and with the supervision of a specialist, I would continue with a new lifestyle: Mediterranean diet or similar, green tea (with ginger and turmeric with a little black peppercorns), lion's mane mushroom, a daily salad, vitamin D3 supplement (together with magnesium and brewer's yeast), omega 3 fish pearls, physical exercise, acupuncture, etc.

- Observational clinical study with Ayurvedic medicine (Pathel 2018):
Pathel mentions cases who, after several months of treatment in two phases (purifying and symptomatic), moved from stage 3 to stage 1 on the Hoehn and Yahr scale. Measurements with the UPDRS scale were also significant. 16 patients reduced their symptoms from stage 3 to 1.5. Another 10 patients went from stage 3 to 1.
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE.
And this other amazing one for TCM:

- 10 cases treated with Chinese medicine:
10 patients reportedly cured of idiopathic Parkinson's in not very advanced stages with use of Chinese herbal formula
Wang Weifang, published in the Journal of Brain and Neurology ten cases of possible (and controversial) cures over the last three decades, using Xifengzhizhan pills and Xifenzhizhan capsules.
These results were presented at the 7th International Conference on Brain Disorders and Therapeutics 2020, which took place in Prague, Czech Republic.
The main components of Xifengzhichan Pills are: Shudi, cornel meat, medlar, chrysanthemum, Ligustrum lucidum, Gastrodia elata, uncaria, polygonatum, asparagus, etc. The main components of Xifengzhizhan capsules are: white peony root, ejiao, turtle shell, cistanche deserticola, natural ground, radix scrophulariae, radix bidentata, etc.
Xifengzhichan Pills, 9 grams each time, three times a day; Xifengzhichan Capsules, 6 capsules each time, three times a day. Oral administration.
In other studies, it is referred to as "Xifeng Dingchan Pill" (XFDCP). For example, in:
Zhang (2013). Evaluation on the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medication Xifeng Dingchan Pill in treating Parkinson's disease: study protocol of a multicenter, open-label, randomized active-controlled trial.
Testing its efficacy alone and with Madopar.

The guidance of a doctor and, if possible, a doctor trained in both Western and Oriental medicine is always recommended.
