zi believe that GDNF, which is a very important growth factor for Pd is THE MOST IMPORTANT CHEMICAL WE HAVE. The name says it all! Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor. It is our very own REPAIR KIT. NEUROTROPHIC MEANS NERVE REPAIR. IT IS MANUFACTURED BY THE BRAIN, AS THE TITLE OF GLIAL CELLS INDICATES.

I believe that when we walk fast, which is not natural, we create the 'Fight or Flight' condition in the brain, because it thinks we are in TROUBLE and it produces the GDNF to repair the cells damaged by the Pd. You don't need to look elsewhere, After 8 years of fast walking, 3 times a week, I did not need to take any further Pd medication and have lived a normal life since 2002. What medication does that for you?
