Thank you, I've read posts on this by Dr Mercola, but this is a newer version.

I want to comment on mucuna pruriens. My husband is on sinimet,. We have tried to talk about MP with Parkinson nurse at hospital who says she has never heard of it. We don't want to alienate the support network but If natural product works as well as synthetic feel it's got to be better long term. We have all heard that the carbidopa in sinimet COULD be a bad thing. MP does not appear to need that help to cross blood brain barrier. Does any body's Parkinson/neurologist want to discuss use if

MP.. WE ARE IN NZ

I started MP just under a week ago and can already identify many of the benefits he talks about. More energy, less anxiety, ability to read better with more concentration, more motivation for exercise and association and feeling less lack of pleasure in life. Feel like the muscles in my face have even relaxed somewhat as well because talking for any length of time literally wore my face muscles out, (like they ran a marathon in under 2 hours...ha!😓)

I'm taking 5g 2x a day and will soon increase it to 5g 3x and using the powder form. Have ordered Zandopa but I like the powder so will compare and since I'm not taking any other meds I can feel the full effects. I am waiting to see a movement neuro and not yet diagnosed but was told possibly ET head tremor and dystonia so I think this positive reaction says a lot so early into it. If it helps my trunk stiffness, swallowing and gastroparesis it would be great. There are so many other articles and research papers that praise this powder that I can't see any harm in it. Thanks for posting.

Good article thanks for posting. I’ve been using M-P for 1.5 years, with symptom relief and no side effects. My Neurologist maintains M-P is “not medicine”, so we just don’t talk about it.
