In the absence of any cure what's the benefit of early diagnosis? ignorance is bless in such situation

[aspergerian13]

With early diagnosis, B1, detox, etc, could be initiated earlier. If medicationists don't proscript such endeavors.

[FergusonJR]

Yes, what does that do but make you anxious for even more of your precious days?! How is this a betterment of life?

[MWLE]

Knowing that something is coming, one can make changes to slow or (eventually) reverse PK before.

[Erniediaz1018]

The sooner we know the earlier we can make an effort to stop the progression especially with B1 now in the works.

Wow.

My mom has Parkinson's and the last three years my eye Dr has noticed that I have a thinning retina in one of my eyes.

Should I start taking B1?

[Erniediaz1018 in reply to TSonmez]

Yes. My wife takes occasionally, it can't hurt as it is water soluble. Just don't over do it.

[TSonmez in reply to Erniediaz1018]

Ok thank you.

I guess I would just take a lower dose...what does your wife take?

[Erniediaz1018 in reply to TSonmez]

1 teaspoon scoop, which amounts to 2 grams once a week.

[TSonmez in reply to Erniediaz1018]

Ok great! Thank you so much.
