It's a nice overview, but there's too much focus on certain supplements from... Iherb. For a more objective and in-depth look at the 'natural' management of your PD, I recommend reading 'Ecological Therapy for Parkinson's Disease: Medication, Late and Little' by Dr. Rafael Gonzalez Maldonado:

First time I read proteins might compete with PD meds to cross BBB. I thought it was just digestive tract. Doesn't really matter for me, I separate meds and meals by at least 2 hours.

Oh dear, big words like amino acids and medication to make you feel that this is credible but when it mentions calories it shows that the author has little undestanding of the science. Calories are the properties of foods which are metabolised competely differently and foods with the same calorific value will have different effects on the body causing vastly different release of hormones like insulin and dopamine, so I wouldn't put much faith in the advice given in this article.

Why is taking medication not natural ? Maybe if we take it naked. You dont have PD do you.
