Plateau

A common experience is that symptoms of Parkinson’s disease improve in the first 6-12 months after starting daily use of the Coronet. After that, the rate of improvement seems to drop off, and things seem to plateau.

I’ve had queries from people in this situation. They’ve found that motor signs (eg tremor, walking, speech clarity and fine finger movements) have improved as well as nonmotor symptoms (eg sleep quality, fatigue levels, motivation, clarity of thinking and making decisions).

When the rate of improvements seems to slow, there is concern that the Coronet is not working any more.

It is working, and it is now in the phase of holding the new improvements and slowing down the effect of the abnormal brain activity that is the hallmark of Parkinson’s. This abnormal activity is relentless in the way it takes over more and more of the brain leading to the progression of Parkinson’s symptoms.

Daily transcranial lights slows down that abnormal activity. This then slows down the disease progression.
