Lou, the lady in the video, Mariana Pandolfi, has Parkison's disease. Are you saying you were cured of Parkinson's by divine accomplishment? Parkinson's disease is generally idiopathic and caused by loss of the production of dopamine in the brain. This disease is chronic and progressive. My uncle had early onset Parkinson's and I watched him die a slow and not so pretty death.

From Wikipedia-Motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease:
Four symptoms are considered cardinal in PD: tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability.[1]

* Tremor normally has a frequency between 4 and 6 Hz (cycles per second) and is the most apparent and well-known symptom.[1] It is most commonly a rest tremor: maximal when the limb is at rest and disappearing with voluntary movement and sleep; it is a pronation-supination tremor that is described as "pill-rolling".[1] Tremor affects to a greater extent the most distal part of the extremity and is typically unilateral at onset.[1] Though around 30% of PD sufferers do not have tremor at disease onset most of them would develop it along the course of the disease.[1]
* Rigidity: defined as joint stiffness and increased muscle tone. In combination with a resting tremor, this produces a ratchety, "cogwheel rigidity" when the limb is passively moved.[1] It may be associated with joint pain, such pain being a frequent initial manifestation of the disease.[1]
* Bradykinesia and akinesia: the former refers to slowness of movement while the latter to the absence of it.[1] It is the most characteristic clinical feature of PD and it produces difficulties not only with the execution of a movement but also with its planning and initiation.[1] The performance of sequential and simultaneous movements is also hindered.[1] Rapid, repetitive movements produce a dysrhythmic and decremental loss of amplitude.
* Postural instability: failure of postural reflexes, along other disease related factors such as orthostatic hypotension or cognitive and sensory changes, which lead to impaired balance and falls.[1] It usually appears in the late stages of PD.[1]

Other motor symptoms include:

* Gait and posture disturbances:
o Shuffling gait:[1] gait is characterized by short steps, with feet barely leaving the ground. Small obstacles tend to cause the patient to trip.
o Decreased arm-swing.[1]
o Turning "en bloc": rather than the usual twisting of the neck and trunk and pivoting on the toes, PD patients keep their neck and trunk rigid, requiring multiple small steps to accomplish a turn.
o Camptocormia:[1] stooped, forward-flexed posture. In severe forms, the head and upper shoulders may be bent at a right angle relative to the trunk.[2]
o Festination:[1] a combination of stooped posture, imbalance, and short steps. It leads to a gait that gets progressively faster and faster, often ending in a fall.
o Gait freezing: also called motor blocks, is a manifestation of akinesia.[1] Gait freezing is characterized by a sudden inability to move the lower extremities which usually lasts less than 10 seconds.[1] It may worsen in tight, cluttered spaces, when attempting to initiate gait or turning around, or when approaching a destination.[1] Freezing improves with treatment and also with behavioral techniques such as marching to command or following a given rhythm.[1]
o Dystonia:[1] abnormal, sustained, painful twisting muscle contractions, often affecting the foot and ankle (mainly toe flexion and foot inversion) which often interferes with gait.
o Scoliosis[1]
* Speech and swallowing disturbances.
o Hypophonia:[1] soft speech.
o Monotonic speech: Speech quality tends to be soft, hoarse, and monotonous.[1]
o Festinating speech: excessively rapid, soft, poorly-intelligible speech.
o Drooling: most likely caused by a weak, infrequent swallow.[1]
o Dysphagia: impaired ability to swallow; which in the case of PD is probably related to an inability to initiate the swallowing reflex or by a too long laryngeal or oesophageal movement.[1] Can lead to aspiration pneumonia.
o Dysarthria[1]
* Other motor symptoms:
o Fatigue
o Hypomimia:[1] a mask-like face
o Difficulty rolling in bed or rising from a seated position.[1]
o Micrographia:[1] small, cramped handwriting.
o Impaired fine motor dexterity and motor coordination.[1]
o Impaired gross motor coordination.
o Akathisia: an unpleasant desire to move.
o Reemergence of primitive reflexes.[1]

You see, what you are going to see if you click on the link and also click on the other parts on the side, is what happened to me when I was given a prescribed psychotropic drug. The condition that you see can be unreversable. In my case, I was delivered from what you see by divine accomplishment.
