About the solution
Gina Adams, a mother of two in Michigan, USA, saw firsthand the toll that Parkinson's disease took on her stepfather, especially when he was unable to do everyday things like button his own shirt.
"He was a brilliant engineer and a guitar player, and when he could no longer button his own shirt, it was devastating for him. I saw my stepdad with this whole closet of clothes he couldn't wear", Gina observed.
A few years later, when her children entered their teens, she came up with a solution to the problem that her stepfather had been facing along with millions of other people who have dexterity issues, that prevent them from getting dressed on their own.
She then created Buttons 2 Button, magnetic adapters that can be attached to button-down shirts. "My background is in the apparel industry, and I believe our clothes express ourselves and our identity. And it is so important for people to lead their lives with a sense of normalcy", the inventor explained.
The adapters can be used on any traditional button-down shirt. One part goes over the shirt button and the other part on the buttonhole to turn shirts into magnetic closures.
Gina said she envisions people using the adapters to help with everything from multiple sclerosis and arthritis to recovery from hand surgery and Parkinson's, the disease that struck her stepfather. "Helping people regain confidence, time and dignity is important", the innovator highlighted.

My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won"t give much relief. She can"t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their Parkinson’s Herbal Protocol. She started on the Parkinson’s Treatment last year, her symptoms gradually diminished including her Tremors, Body Weakness and Muscle Pains. Reach them at healthnaturalcentre.org , She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back )she have also resumed exercising to strengthen muscles!! God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
