Mitochondrial dysfunction is key factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinsons disease

Mitochondrial dysfunction is key factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinsons disease. Impairment of mitochondrial function results in cellular damage and is linked to aging and neurodegeneration

See the work of Terry Wahls, MD, who had MS. She came to the same conclusion re mitochondrial dysfunction as it relates to MS (she also sometimes mentions PD). She decided to experiment with her diet and wound up curing herself. She went from being wheelchair bound to hiking/biking. Very inspirational. We loosely follow her Wahls Protocol, level 1 diet (slightly paleo). I think the better results are attained at her levels 2 and 3. We're working on it.

I tried level 2 and 3 for a few months and my PD got worse.

Everyone is different so it might help you.

That's very interesting to know. Thanks. And, you're right - everyone is different.

This is why I think it makes sense to take Tru Niagen (nicotinamide riboside B3). Google "nicotinamide riboside for mitochondria."
