Clinical experience has shown that STS treatments are effective in decreasing the morbidity of Parkinson’s Disease. This is probably mostly due to an increase of VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide). As demonstrated in a case study below, the patient not only subjectively improved but also objectively improved. The plasma VIP level was increased, handwriting normalized, tremors decreased, walking normalized, memory functions improved, the Parkinson’s Unified Rating Scale decreased dramatically, and the heart rate variability normalized.
