JP’s life-altering journey began in the summer of 1999 when he inhaled a cloud of pesticide meant to kill ants. Three months later, he experienced his first symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Despite this setback, his positive drive and unwavering attitude remained intact.

About four years ago, JP realized that taking more than eight different medications per day was slowly killing him. In a bold move, he decided to take a dramatically different approach, reducing his medicine intake to only three different pills and incorporating magic water into his regimen. This change exemplifies his innovative spirit and relentless pursuit of a healthier life.
