I’ve read positive reports re the regenerative benefits of Hydrogen Water. Has it a place in PD treatment ?

After an initial uncontrolled study showed promise, subsequent placebo control studies failed:

"There were no significant differences in the change in the total UPDRS score from baseline to the 72nd week between the H2-water group (1.6 ± 14.0 [mean ± standard deviation]) and the placebo water group"

Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of hydrogen inhalation for Parkinson’s disease: a pilot study

"Participants inhaled 6.5 (0.1) vol% hydrogen gas in 2 L/min of mixed air or placebo air for 16 weeks, twice a day for 1 h.... No significant differences were seen in the change in the total Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale score from baseline to the 16th week between the group that inhaled hydrogen gas and the group that inhaled placebo air "

A functional medicine doctor asked me to try it. I got quicksilver brand tablets. Because I have acidosis and they contain a bunch of added acids to make them fizz, I suppose, I didn't find them and their price worthwhile at the time. But in the intervening three years, my fatigue has gotten so much worse that I decided to give it a try and it does help me with fatigue. I was prompted by a recent study that did find benefits, not for Parkinson's, but for fatigue and a couple other issues.
