In an effort to support and bring awareness to Parkinson’s Disease (PD), SottoPelle® is an official Sponsor of the PD Challenge 2015 , and participating in other events to promote awareness, find the cure, and treat those with PD. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive and degenerative neurological disorder in which those afflicted suffer from tremors, cramping, involuntary movements, bradykinesia, insomnia, difficulty swallowing, and walking, amongst others. One in 100 people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease with estimates of 65,000 new diagnoses each year. To date, there is no known cure.
SottoPelle® has been working with many Parkinson’s patients who have seen benefits with SottoPelle® Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT). Early-onset PD patients are experiencing improvement of their quality of life with SottoPelle® therapy. The BHRT is helping patients become more functional, offering them more vitality and energy to keep active. Brian Baehr, Founder of the Baehr Challenge for Parkinson’s Research in Phoenix, Arizona is a SottoPelle® and Parkinson’s disease patient. “SottoPelle® is making a significant difference in how I feel every day. It’s an important addition to my Parkinson’s protocol.”
Dr. Gino Tutera MD, FACOG, a board-certified physician now in his 40th year of practice and medical director of SottoPelle®, is dedicated to helping the quality of life for all his patients and presented an educational talk on Parkinson’s and how natural BHRT can help Parkinson’s Disease patients enjoy an improved sense of well-being on March 13, 2015 at the Banner Neuro Center in Gilbert, Arizona.
On March 28th 2015, SottoPelle® will also be participating in the M. Ali foundation Fight Night. This event is recognized as one of the nation's elite charity events, Celebrity Fight Night is a star-studded evening presented in honor of featured guest, Muhammad Ali. Celebrating its 21st year, the Celebrity Fight Night Gala will be emceed by Grammy Award-winning leading lady of country music Reba McEntyre, who will return as the evening’s emcee for the tenth year.
