Your instincts here sound very reasonable. A few things about this situation are worth noting as potential red flags:

- Claims of "rewriting the course" of Parkinson's are not supported by current medical evidence
- Persistent contact after unsubscribing is a common tactic used by predatory health marketers
- Naturopathic Show Full Answer

Your instincts here sound very reasonable. A few things about this situation are worth noting as potential red flags:

- Claims of "rewriting the course" of Parkinson's are not supported by current medical evidence
- Persistent contact after unsubscribing is a common tactic used by predatory health marketers
- Naturopathic and Chinese medicine practitioners are not movement disorder specialists
- "Breakthrough" language and free consultation offers are often used to draw people into expensive programs For Parkinson's, the most trusted care comes from neurologists and movement disorder specialists — doctors with specific, accredited training in Parkinson's disease. Research consistently shows that people who work with these specialists tend to have better outcomes.

It's also worth knowing that there is currently no treatment that reverses or "rewrites" the course of Parkinson's. Anyone claiming otherwise should be approached with serious caution. Since you already have a great care team in place — that's genuinely the best position to be in. Sticking with providers you trust is exactly the right call. If the unwanted contacts continue, consider blocking the numbers and marking emails as spam.

A MyParkinsonsTeam member once shared: *"It's your life, your body and your trust in your doctor. Do what is best for you."* That wisdom really applies here.
