On period for Parkinson's with alternative medicine

Hi

I'm here to learn from anybody approaching Parkinson's treatment differently! I hate Western medicine not minding how my neurologist feel about it! I prefer alternative medicine and currently on Zandopa with green tea which gives me 3 hours on time! Recently I started adding sinemet CR to the Mucuna and although my Nurse says it doesn't work I get 6 hours on period with the combination and with less dyskenisia when wearing off!

Please is anyone using herb combination to stay on for long? Kindly share ideas with me and I'll be grateful!

Hi, look up the posts and replies that SILVESTROV did on this site....about 2+ years ago. He did it ALL with alternative supplements and not the brand Zandopa but equivalent. His posts always had medical research sited with it and he explained why he chose what he chose.

Good luck!

Try taking less cinematic at night adding to your doses during the day! It worked for me as I’ve had a really difficult time sleeping at night

Hi Kayyyyuz. I was diagnosed with Pd in 1992. I was able to come off all Pd medication in 2002 and have lived a normal life since then, I am now 84 years old and till am able to walk 7 kilometres in one hour.

Hi Kayyyyuz, I am a caregiver and my husband has been using Zandopa for three years along with carbidopa/levodopa er and try to drink a green tea every night. It is not perfect but we have been able to sustain. Drugs cause too many side effects like dyskinesia and dystonia (muscle spasm). We went from taking 6 carbidopa/levodopa er to 2 and a half to 3 pills a day but Zandopa is about 1 to 1 1/4 teaspoon every 1 and one half to two hours. How long have you had Parkinson’s and what is your daily schedule? Nice to hear from you. Our neurologist is ok with what we are doing but would like to find an md that is into Ayurveda treatment like Dr. Maldonado that wrote the book “Mucuna vs Parkinson’s”

Had my PD5 years ago. Took l/c for 3 months and the side effects made conclude that it's the synthetic medical that kill people.

I later found Zandopa brand of mucuna and that's what I've been using. It's just too good# within few weeks of usage my non motor symptoms improved greatly. I've been on it since then and would only use control release of l/c if I'm at work and need a very long on time.

Thanks
