I started taking Kapikachhu ( Mucuna Pruriens ) & Ashwagandharishta, since 2012 May . Though I was diagnosed with PD in July 2010 ; I was perfectly alright with my daily exercise, walking & yoga without any medicine till Dec 2012. You know PD affects differently with each individual.

During Jan -Feb -Mar 2013 , I started having walking difficulties , fatigue ,numbness, slight tremor in left hand whenever I am under stress and pain in the hip region . I consulted many Neurologists , each one telling me different problem & solution ; some Dr; told me that it is MND , some told me it is MS , some told me Spine problem etc etc . One Neurosurgeon categorically told me that it is just PD , not to waste time going to multiple consultation and advised me to go for Ayurvedic Treatment for the time being ; avoid / delay allopathy as far as possible . He advised me to go to Vaidyaratnam at Thrissur in Kerala ( Land of Ayurveda) INDIA ..

Infact I got admitted in Vaidyaratnam at Thrissur in Kerala on 1st May 2013 ,visit : vaidyaratnammooss.com/ , took Ayurvedic treatment for 26 days .Shirodhara, Bundle Massage , Pilchill etc . Here I came across Kapikachhu ( Mucuna Pruriens ) & Ashwagandharishta . Infact I thank that Neurologist & vaidyaratnam for bringing me back to life . You can order directly on Vaidyaratnam ; they would courier worldwide by DHL . Infact many American & European PD patients come here for treatment every year .

There is also ON & OFF -time with Ayurvedic Medicine , same as Allopathic L-Dopa ; L-Dopa study study shows that it damages nerves & kills cells : docroberts.com/ar-26-c-8-na....

For your Info :

By the grace of God ; I can still drive car , scooter , ride bicycle on public roads to nearby work ( Banks, post office, vegetable market, grocery shops etc ) / Gym-cycle with rowing cross bar for 15 Min in the after noon , 2 Kms walking in the morning & evening , regular 13 Surya Namaskara & stretching Yoga ( one Hr each ) during early morning and evening. But becomes stiff ; by late evening onwards ; so I sleep - off , by 9.30 PM ; wake up 4.15 AM to free exercise , yoga , walking ; then I will be more normal.

I am on following Medicine :

*** Important : Always Kapikachhu should be taken in empty stomach ; allow 30 Min - 60 Min ( depends from person to person ) to start action.

Ayurvedic : Kapikachhu : 1TBS One hr before Breakfast 8.00AM -1TBS One hr before Lunch 12 Noon- 1TBS One hr before Dinner 5.30 PM

A definite maybe. My husband noticed an improvement with Macuna in the early years of his PD. He is still not taking any PD meds but his symptoms have progressed over now almost 11 years but still able to drive and work.. It is basically a natural L-Dopa replacement. He is still taking a formula now that combines Macuna with other nutrients that promote Dopamine production.

[racerCP in reply to answerseeker]

Hi, I am interested to communicate with someone not taking traditional US meds for PD. I've been diagnosed 7 months ago and have had tremors for one year and would love to avoid all medications. I've been told by other PD people to use MAO-B inhibitors to slow progression. I wonder if you can give me a more detailed description of your husband's course of this disease without taking meds except for natural dopamine and other natural meds. I'm so impressed that he has gone 11 years without traditional western meds and hope I can follow that course. I am 73 and feel my symptoms do not affect my activities of daily living.

So please write and give me some details as to his method and progression.

Best wishes

Answerseeker. May I ask, what are the other nutrients in addition to Mucuna that you mention? What is the formular called?
