Today I experimented with different genre of seeds (velvet beans). I purchased it from herbs shop . It's very effective. Only three to four seeds have an effect equal to 100 mg levodopa tablet.Start taking effect within 15 minutes with a dose of 5 grams
And seems that when I am "ON" with seeds, I feels more natural wellbeing. Different from sinemet
Used coffee beans grinder
Farooqji,
So I see you used a coffee grinder on the beans, but then how did you ingest them afterwards?
Raw powder screened via fine screen. Taking it with 5 grams spoon directly with water
Hello, Since you know exactly how many grams you consume, that's delicate I think.
I tried different amounts 3 to 4 times and found the optimum dose
you are truly great! Is the herbs shop online!?
No, it's in my area and I physically went there to purchase. However it's abundantly available online
Hi, very interesting, did you stop sinemet completely and replace it with raw mucuna ?
Good luck...let us know if it keeps up in the next few months
please can you give more information about how you process them.
Simple. Grind the raw mucuna seeds in the grinder and seive it with some fine mesh. The filtered Powder can be taken with measuring directly afterwards
Sounds wonderful! Do you have a source to buy online? Thank you so much
I have purchased it from a shop directly. Can be searched from online stores. Try to purchase visually similar beans as shown in the photo. Please note that there are numerous varieties of the velvet beans and the levodopa content vary accordingly. There are other ingredients of mucuna apart from levodopa which are beneficial for PD. The Hindu ayurveda believes that it's Godsend plant for PD
Thank you very much. So very helpful
Mucuna extract makes me vomit heavily. How do you cope with that?
Also I thought the beans had to be boiled or treated somehow as raw they are toxic?
I take half a spoon ginger powder along with it. It totally eliminates the urge for vomiting
so interesting! I have a couple more questions: to replace your Sinemet altogether? Also, how long did it last? Thank you!
Its ON time is 30 - 45 minutes more than the Sinemet. One thin I noted that my symptoms are lesser during night and getting up in the morning is better. But its been only 3 to 4 days. Lets see what happens in the long run
Drink Green tea to add the Carbidopa effect to the beans. I ve been using the beans since my diagn.4 yrs ago.
2 tea spoons are equal to half Madopar 250 mg. 2 tea spoons are about 8 grams
you can also use Kapikachu as that works too
Please add a link to where you purchased these! This is so exciting to hear! We've tried capsules purchased on Amazon but my HWP noticed no relief from his tremors. We are both totally natural & have refused all Big HARMus toxic dope so we're always seeking natural alternatives that can help in any way. I'd really appreciate more info about where to purchase these beans.
As I mentioned earlier , I went physically to a shop in my area and bought it. But it's available online on Amazon etc. However there are several varieties of mucuna seeds having varying amounts of levodopa. I posted the picture so that beans of this specific genre are easily found on online shops
Zandopa from India in Amazon is the best mucuna. Ayurvedic medicine. Pure powdered mucuna beans. Plus green tea. I replace 1 dose a day with these.
Wow, my velvet beans are much larger. I'll have to check these out.
The people dealing in its sale call it with with names such as white seeds, black mucuna seeds ets. This specific genre is brown. I have noted that the taste and smell of each type is different
that’s brilliant! When using Macuna I have found it’s good to mix with lemon juice for awhile. I read somewhere that it helps it cross the blood brain barrier possibly also with green tea. I have found that it has a different and longer lasting effect when done, so.
Caution: Raw consumption of dried ground Mucuna Pruriens beans may potentially have toxic effects due to the presence of various antinutrients. Some important antinutrients found in Mucuna Pruriens beans (include L-Dopa…) are trypsin inhibitors, lectins, phytic acid (phytates), and protease inhibitors. These substances can disrupt digestion, hinder nutrient absorption, and may cause adverse reactions. To reduce potential health risks, it is recommended to prepare the raw beans before consumption.
Different methods, like soaking, germinating for 5 to 7 days and boiling, dry heat treatment such as roasting or grilling, fermentation and combinations can provide safer results, but it is inevitable that the levodopa level will significantly reduce.
According to the study below, it appears that for preserving most of the levodopa content, better soaking the seeds in water or sodium bicarbonate solution for 24 hours, then boiling them.
I reported to my neurologist those very words. Mucuna ( in powdered form) gives me a feeling of well being not available by cd/ld all alone.
