Robert Rodgers

Robert Rodgers, Ph.D., has a passion for helping persons with chronic diseases feel better using natural methods. His mother, diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, elected to take a variety of prescription drugs to treat her Parkinson’s symptoms, her depression and other medical problems. She eventually died from a coma that was aggravated by the deadly combination of medications she had been taking.

After graduating from Vanderbilt University with his undergraduate degree and Cornell University with his master’s degree, Robert earned his Ph.D. from Michigan State University in 1981. He served as a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin in the 1980's and was a professor and Director of the Ph.D. and MHA programs at the University of Kentucky during the 1990's.

Robert resigned from academic life as a tenured professor to establish Parkinsons Recovery in 2004. The focus of his research attention for the past decade has been on helping persons with Parkinson's symptoms discover ways to reverse them using natural methods and approaches. He continues to pursue his passion for discovering natural remedies that are helping more and more people today who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Through his work at Parkinsons Recovery Robert is dedicated to spreading the word that the body really does know how to heal itself. It simply needs a gentle nudge here and there remembering how. His research evidence shows that the belief Parkinsons Disease is degenerative is untrue. Once a person discovers the reasons for their symptoms they can set in motion a strategy for reversing any and all symptoms. It may take time and a large dose of patience but more and more people with Parkinson’s Disease are healing every year as they journey down the road to recovery.
