zandopa's choices?

[eabud]

what are the options to replace sinemet with micuna pruriens without the sugar existing in Zandopa?

I discovered zandopa before DBS and I almoSt cancelled my DBS surgery (wish I had done it, because if something goes wrong surgeons have no clue about how to fix it; I got severe gait disturbances), because the blend zandopa and forced cycling were decreasing my symptoms significantly and my off time had shrunken also.

There is a brand called D5. It is pretty expensive, but pretty reliable. I believe you have to get it through a naturopath or doctor.There is also one put out by Starwest Botanicals.

Hello eabud ,

I get mine from Indigo Herbs of Glastonbury UK. It is organic. You can buy mucuna pruriens from Amazon under the brand name of Swanson or Ebay. One person I know said that Zandopa works better for her, but as you are only too aware the sweet taste is not to everyone's liking.

Thanks a lot Norton; one clarification: is MP's SWANSON also organic?

Hello eabud,

Sorry for delay in replying. No, Swanson does not state it is organic MP.

You might be interested in exploring the research of Marty Hinz, who has developed a protocol for using Mucuna in conjunction with amino acids to limit side effects caused by serotonin depletion. I wish i could figure out how to attach a PDF file explaining the rationale and results. Does anyone know how to do that?
