This is the most detailed article I have seen on the gut and PD. Kind of hopeful also: Gut Microbiota: A Novel Therapeutic Target for Parkinson’s Disease frontiersin.org/articles/10...

"Although the cause-effect links between gut microbiota and PD remain unclear, emerging evidence from PD animal model studies support that the dysbiotic gut microbiota can aggravate PD pathology, while re-establishment of the gut microbiota can delay or correct the onset of PD."

A very interesting article!I had a microbiome transfer last year and my microbiome has improved a lot.

in the next few weeks I will do another microbiome transfer (this time 10 times!) taymount.com/ .

I also take PS128 (probiotic)

parkinsonsnewstoday.com/new...

for several months, which also targets the intestinal microbiome.

The PDCare too, by the way!

My husband is on Duopa, the c/l gel that is delivered intestinally through a jpeg tube. We started him on a good probiotic from the health food store and then one targeted for PD. Within two weeks we saw an improvement in (we think) his body using the Duopa. Within a couple of months the improvement has been huge.

Hi. What brand and dose of probiotics?

PS128 from Solace. 1/day. The first one we tried and it also seemed to help was Fortify Optima from the health food store. It is the one called Everyday Care. When the PS128 runs out (35 days left), we will switch back the the Fortify Optima and see how it works. It seemed to work great the first month or so but since on PS128 his Duopa efficiency has improved. This is not a double blind study though so just trying to figure it out

I believe that this is true. Were definately underestimating its significance imo. Hang tough!

Great summary (but article link seems to have died)

The article link still works for me: frontiersin.org/articles/10...

The article DOES give the impression that it stops after the abstract, but the next section is just poorly named. The article is all there.
