- A man suffering from Parkinson's disease was housebound, barely able to function. Then, a surgical treatment performed by Dr. Ali Rezai, which implanted electrodes in his brain, transformed his life, Morley Safer reported in 2002. This Sunday, 60 Minutes looks at Dr. Rezai's new approaches to treating Alzheimer's and addiction.

May God bless Ali Rezai and other compassionate doctors who tirelessly help their patients.
KEEP UP THE PROMISING WORK!
This brings tears to my eyes...
What a fantastic story!! Praise God for those who study to help others improve their life. What a TRUE BLESSING 🙌
This is incredibly good news! And I need to comment that there’s a great interview on UA-cam of a PD patient, an older guy who had advanced problems bc of the disease, after many years, he was declining a lot. So he went on a keto diet, as an experiment, and found that he got better and better, and better, reversing the neurological damage, and is now 90 or 95% improved!!!. It’s very very hopeful news! And I hope every person who is suffering w/ PD finds the story on YT.
WOW! Totally astounding! God bless every one of his medical team and especially his wonderful surgeons! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
60 Minutes, please follow up on this. What are the newest breakthroughs and how are these same patients doing today?
The surgery can now be done while asleep. Both electrodes can be implanted in a single surgery in cases and sometimes even the generator. Also it is being done much earlier in the persons progression to give better benefits.
I'm house bound also for the past 4 years was diagnosed 20 years ago, I fight every day, but I'm getting worse and no one understands what it's like, I'm gonna look into these things with my Neurologist 😊
Tremendous! This is so inspiring. Remarkable results to bring back the quality of life.
My father died with Parkinson's, among other illnesses, in 2003. I only wish this could have been available to him.
This report aired in 2002
@@HebaruSan I didn't have the internet and hadn't any knowledge of 60 minutes back then. To my knowledge, in the UK there was nothing remotely akin to the operation available here.
The body heals itself with a little tender loving care!
@@Sirius263 yes, it's not available because it clearly proved to not be an effective treatment over time.
@@Bear_Arms Yes. Often, those who take on the role of guinea pig in major operation matters can initially have a huge positive boost and then a rapid decline or even die as a result. I noticed in a documentary some time ago that Parkinson's sufferers were being treated with the ecstasy drug!
If only my 80- yr-old immobile Sweetheart could receive this surgery. He's had Parkinsons for 8 yrs. Needs 24-7 care. 😢
I’m so happy for you. You’re an amazing person.
Amazing..I'm so happy to see him go out and be with people😀❤️
For those of you wondering. Del Maxson died January 25, 2015 at the age of 68 from a “lengthy illness”. There’s no mention of Parkinson’s in his obituary. Also the family “request memorial donations be made to a canine rescue and humane society.” Maybe I’m just reading too much into this but if this was such a great thing for him and his family don’t you think it would have been mentioned in the obituary and donations be made to medical “stuff”? Again I’m probably reading too much into it…. This is just sad though. I really want to believe this worked for him.
You're reading way too much into this. It's just a medical procedure.
Absolutely amazing im so happy for them . The Best Doctors .
Well done sir, this is wonderful ! Great doctors.
Thank you sharing
I appreciate you sharing.
Im happy for this man
This is amazing!
Truly life changing
Great episode👏
Thank you Doctors
Absolutely amazing im so happy for them 💗 🎉
Bless them
I am happy for you. I hope you enjoy your mobility and freedom. 🙏🙏💯
Excellent!
Absolutely BRILLIANT, oh my goodness !
Such a gateway of HOPE !!!!
Ode to the science and those able to im0lament it.
Tremendous GRATITUDE to say the least.
That’s so wonderful! I’m hoping our beloved actor Michael J. Fox sees this. He deserves a better life!!
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's about ten years ago & I to started isolating my self to avoid the stares. After having DBS in February I feel great & I'd like to thank all the doctors at the University of Maryland medical Center in Baltimore Md
Amazing!
The science of modern medicine and the resilience of the human body are truly awe inspiring.
Thank God for these doctors
Wow what a life changing procedure. Has Michael J Fox had this procedure? I haven’t heard him speak about it, and if he hasn’t I wonder why?
I thought of him right away.
I think a lot of people went there as he’s such an advocate for making society aware of the disease . It would be great if he did get the opportunity to have this operation and give hope to other sufferers .
Michael says he doesn’t want this. When asked why he responds “It’s brain surgery!”
Looking around, I see that there is assistive device for cerebral palsy people….a pull on sleeve for arms and legs to curb spasticity. It’s not only here, it’s BEEN here.
As we go ga-ga over these things……..remember we lost the super computer because Senators Obstruction wouldn’t fund, went to other countries instead.
Stem cell research quashed same reason. Senator No said no.
We are far behind where we should be because of the pharmaceutical-industrial complex.
I was going to ask the same question. I mean, come on, look at the difference, it is a miracle and MJF should see at Steve Jobs’ story and try to avoid bad decisions. With all due respect.
Thats amazing
AMAZING! I hope that Techniques have GREATLY IMPROVED?
This is the first one that intrigues me
😢🙏🙏🙏❤️this is amazing.
I say THANK GOD for this..for giving the doctors the wisdom they need to fight this disease
I also think what you EAT..is also what can get you on the feet..
Eat less...and get more..yess..
Get healthy my Friends❤
Amazing, just amazing🤓
I love it!
Who’s calling Michael J. Fox?? God Bless these doctors!!
The Best Doctors 🥼
Lost my mom 6 years ago to a 21 year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. The Dyskinesia was brutal as were the Requip and Carbo/Levo. The problem with the surgery is that it’s a bandage and doesn’t cure the disease and eventually the issues come back. The memory goes even with the surgery. A temporary fix.
Are you talking about this surgery?
Thank you.
My husband was misdiagnosed with PD. He has essential tremors. My advice is simple: Get a second opinion or even a third or fourth one. My husband was on carbadopa/levodopa for over a year all the while never actually having PD. The second neurologist we found ordered a DatScan which confirmed that he had been misdiagnosed. Upon further research I discovered that the percentage of misdiagnosis of PD is 30%!!
If your husband's problem wasn't Parkinson's did they figure out what the problem was?
@@philochristos as I said I'm my post, he has essential tremors...
*pathogen (h. pylori etc) -> biofilm -> ulcer -> Parkinson's* , research Medical Gaslighting
@@Julieglam3caused by what?
@philochristos good question!
Amazing
I'm so surprised how good we today can help people, I just wish that all people were able too get the same help with out paying all that mony.
The poor man, but I’m so grateful that he’s gotten so much relief.
the surgical magic trick
Very nice.
Wow! Amazing. ❤
❤ im happy for you man!
Wow!
This interview was filmed over 20 years ago, clearly this treatment didn't work too well over time. Many of the people in this comment section need to start reading the descriptions on videos.
Don't take yourself so seriously! 😮
Yeah my dad got this treatment and hes gotten a lot worse, his movement is a lot better but he can’t function the same, mentally he is much worse and it’s really sad to see, I wish he never got the surgery.
😢 oh no just reading these comments, someone I love is in stage 2 PD
Sounds perfect for Neurolink?
It’s amazing what medicine can do then. This being twenty years ago. Where are we now in these treatments.
Wow so amazing 😅
Incredible... but no mention of cost of surgery, etc. Guessing it's for the ultra rich only?
Medicare covers this
This is so amazing! So cool what technology can do now! The hope it has brought to so many people! I am so Excited for all these Parkinsons Patients! They all have a new lease on life! Thrilled! Love it so much! CATHERINE MAGEE
Science is amazing!
Has Michael J Fox been made aware of this treatment
Yes he is very aware of it
@@lyndagibson9699I wonder why he hasn’t gotten it?
A triathlon?😮😮😮😮 OMG
Lmfao everytime I hear a surgeon say “anchor” something to something else in your body…he bout to hammer that ish in and definitely not be delicate about it 🤣
How does a person with Parkinson's disease get this DBS? I can only hope my brother can get this.❤️
Parkinson's sufferers are benefiting from vitamin B1 therapy. See the book "Parkinson's and the B1 Therapy" - I would suggest giving this a good try before embarking on pharmaceutical route. But be patient because this approach requires it as the book states.
WOW
I was hoping he would say what he wanted to do with his wife. 😂 What a chad.
Seems to be old story..hope he is doing better and better....🤲🏻💐
He’s dead
My dad had Parkinsons, but not as bad as that, he passed at 88
What about Michael J Fox and Linda Ronstadt?
Nice.....Michael j. Fox, your next buddy.
My blind sister and I had Multiple sclerosis And she got her sight back the same way I did mine by a back adjustment. We had both had a back injury as a child and flipped over backwards 3 times as an adult. But I'm a quad because no doctor will touch me because Researchers say it is not a bad injury.
My goodness! I'm so sorry this happened to you and your sister! You deserve the best treatment available! Keep fighting! Get an advocate or case manager for yourself, honey. Ask your Dr or insurance company to get you one.
So will MJ fox be getting this done then ????
I wonder if it works for everyone. I have seen that cannabis has a similar effect . I do hope this is a new technique and a lot of sufferers get the option to get this operation.
It doesn't work as well for everybody.
Is there a percentage of the probe’s success rate?
The people at his church should have shown more compassion, he shouldnt have felt embarrased
Doctor I have Parkinsonism. My problem is Freezing. So is there anyway you could tell me that there is cure for this
what about immunotherapy ?
Would this work for Michael J. Fox?
Case in point: Michael J. Fox
This year I met the fourth mother with a down syndrome child. And asked if she had used wheat germ In unlimited amounts before enduring pregnancy. All for said yes. But I can't get a researcher to ask that question because that's not how research is done.
I'd love to meet Michael J. Fox. I hear he lives in Oregon, Like I do. My state, and people like governor Kitzhaber, and Julie Kelley, have definitely helped the disabled like myself.
Get in touch with Michael J Fox right away. I hope there’s hope for him.
Wow, and I hope Mr. Michael J. Fox can try on it cause he earned it.
This treatment is also an alternative for Essential Tremors.
I wonder if Del Maxson is still alive.
Had same question…. He died January 25 2015 “after a lengthy illness”.
Pathogens can be broken down with machines emitting frequencies, the current at the least could interferre with quorum sensing of pathogens. the real question is why they choose this direction to treat an infection... hopefully not nefarious alternative uses of such technology
So at night his wife's turns him off...lol nice job😊
👍👏👏
dyskenesia is also caused by PSYCHIATRIC PRESCRIPTIONS
🎉
I'm sending this to my exhusband
It does effect cognitive ability
Where is this guy today,has it improved or worsened,how come twenty years later no one talks about this,why hasn’t Michael j fox done this,something doesn’t make sense here
He died in 2015 and his wife died in 2021.
The treatment clearly didn't work well over time for most people, that's why.
Sometimes a treatment can work for one thing but that same treatment can have side effects that you will only see yrs after.
Now that is routine surgery, a lot of people have had it.
@@Bear_Armshow do you know

Why don't they do the same thing for Huntingtons my family has Huntingtons
look up biofilm
Parkinson’s is mean
Nurianz to stop the freezing....is 6,000 dollars a month. Yep.n
😢😮😂❤
God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
Why would you think this would work on anyone? Are you psycotic?
Church to get to go a big win ! Most important part Bcz it gave him hope his faith in God their was treatment for him .
*B i o f i l m*
Take some Magic mushrooms and go to the gym get some sun and stop talking about it
What? Not talking about it will prolong the time it takes to develop a cure.
@@kabarriot2841 it doesn’t exist unless people make it exist. It’s an identity.
Who hurt you? What a miserable person lol. Good grief.
Wow professionals
What about Micheal J Fox
