Cassius
Clay, better known as Muhammed Ali, was always inspirational to
people around the world, be it on the boxing ring or the arena of
life. He remained so, when he won the gold in 1960 Olympics, or when
refused to participate in the Vietnam War in 1967. So when he was
diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984, people from all over the
world lamented over the health condition of the greatest boxer. But
it was another opportunity that life offered him to emerge
inspirational to others, and he elegantly carried out that
responsibility.
The
disease, which damaged the patient's central nervous system, could
not affect the spirit and attitude of this great human being. In
spite of all the physical difficulties caused by the disease,
Muhammed Ali is very much in the public arena. He is still attending
sports and social events as a prominent guest and inspiring everyone,
especially the sports persons and the Parkinson's disease affected
people, around the world.
The
living example of Muhammed Ali stands in testimony of the fact that
though dangerous and very serious, Parkinson's disease cannot wipe
out the social and professional life of a person. They can still be
active and the various medicinal systems including allopathy,
Ayurveda and other alternative healthcare systems can be of support
to the patients to an extent. Among
these,parkinson's ayurvedic
treatment seems to be more effective and this Ayurvedic
treatment, using various herbal medicines, has a history of thousands
of years to boast off.
