I have been experimenting on how I can get nicotine to work. I think I figured it out. Most people who try nicotine get a bad feeling at first, so they decide to quit. I almost quit multiple times. What I found is that nicotine controls my symptoms better than levodopa. At this rate, I’m going I could be able to get off of levodopa soon. I’m on two pills a day and at my worst I was at six or seven.
The first thing I needed to do to make sure that it would work is go on a ketogenic or carnivore diet. I tried nicotine a bunch of times before I could never get it to work because I would be overstimulated and cause anxiety. I also need a high dose of NAC, between 2500 mg to 3 g to combat anxiety caused by the stimulation. The final key was getting on a really high dose of CBD. I prefer the 20 to 1 CBD to THC ratio. That also calms with the brain. Another thing you need to do is stop thinking about Parkinson’s when you take nicotine. I found that I was always obsessed about my symptoms. For me the more I think about Parkinson’s the more manifests itself. Now I try to get excited for the day and use nicotine to accentuate that. That’s vital. That is the reason I believe that the study failed the Michael J. Fox foundation conducted. Nicotine would not work for me if I didn’t use those other things.
I feel like I got my life back. Nicotine works also after you eat protein,unlike levodopa. When you first start it’s kind of hard. Once you get used to it, it’s awesome. No wonder why nicotine has been suppressed. It’s a big Pharma killer. It’s a natural antidepressant. It’s an appetite suppressant as well. This works well with the diet. To be honest, I don’t feel addicted. I don’t feel like I need to take it, but I do much worse when I don’t take it. Even if it is addictive, aren’t you addicted to levodopa? Early on my journey, I decided to go cold turkey off of levodopa because I could not feel it working. Big mistake, could have died from Neuro malignant syndrome. I went cold turkey off of nicotine for a couple of days and all I felt was depressed and had a worsening of symptoms.
I’m a big believer restore gold. I don’t work for them, but I’ve seen the results. The Restore gold does have.1.6 grams of an NAC and I take additional 1200 mg before bed. B2 and B7 are also no-brainers. I noticed a big change in when taking B2. I just started b7 and it hasn’t given me any side effects and it’s super cheap so I keep taking it. A study out of Japan showed that Parkinson’s patients were deficient in those nutrients.
