Finally Simon is talking about diet and nutrition
Actually it's Dr. Laurie Mischley doing the talking and it took place about a year ago.
Great talk, a step in the right direction.
Found this site for practical help. It's for cancer, but should work for any disease, given that the body will heal itself given the necessary raw materials.
Lots of real life testimonies. 
This is a must to listen to!
Important point about Melatonin (in the essay).
"Another supplement that was negatively associated with Parkinson’s
disease was Melatonin. Also known as N-acetyl-5-methoxy tryptamine,
Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness. 148
participants in the study were using Melatonin, but it was the
nutritional supplement most significantly associated with worsening of
Parkinson’s symptoms. This was a strange result given that Melatonin has
demonstrated neuroprotective properties in models of Parkinson’s
disease, particularly relating to mitochondrial function (Click here to
read more on this). And Dr Mischley and her colleagues noted in their
results that the data most likely indicated that that it was insomnia,
and not the use of melatonin, was associated with a worsening of
Parkinson’s symptoms."
This was really inspiring to read, I'm grateful that my diet is accidentally like the recommended one, someone on this site got me started on CoQ10 and glutathione and indeed at 3 years past diagnosis and 6 years after noticing symptoms I'm happy to be one of the slow progression group. Some changes in 3 years but not much really, my quality of life is relatively good.
A friend loaned me a great cookbook called Practical Paleo. There's a section on eating for neurological health. The author discusses foods that contain the nutrients that are particularly supportive for PwP. She also lists nutritional supplements and herbs that can be beneficial. We part ways over exercise; she says "high intensity training" taxes our systems and can lead to a "stress-response," whatever that is. But the recipes are amazing, and there is a 30-day sample menu.
