Somebody asked why I take Berberine. I figured it something good to share.
Yeah, I need to write down why I take things (I forget why eventually).
So Berberine:
1: It suppresses viruses, including EBV. I think viruses may play some role in PD (I have not been diagnosed with PD. I have RBD and a sore shoulder and some other troubling symptoms): https://healthunlocked.com

The 'Brain Energy Gap' and its possible implication on the progress of PD.
Has anyone else seen the work of Professor Stephen Cunnane on the 'brain energy gap' and its implications for PD, Alzheimers and cognitive impairment? I've put a link to one of his talks below, but to summarise: - Cognitive impairment and brain health in PD, Alzheimers, is due in part to an 'brain

Change to diet
Plodding along for years with T2, first metformin but now insulin twice per day. Reasonably good diet, try to avoid added or high sugar, although carbs can be my downfall, mostly active, low alcohol consumption. Blood glucose readings fairly consistent, though slightly above target and keep nudging

Taking Betmiga with Pred for Urine Control?
Just wondered if anyone takes Betmiga (Mirabegron) for better urine control and if it is advisable? Since having PMR from 2022 I have frequency and urgency bladder issues, particularly at night. I would love to sleep the night through or travel without angst! While I am on, glad to say I had the

Out today - Diabetes drug may slow progression of Parkinson’s
The results reveal that after 12 months, those given lixisenatide showed essentially no progression of motor problems, while those given the placebo showed worsening symptoms, dropping around three points on the 132-point assessment scale – a modest difference, yet thought to be clinically meaningful

CGA and urogram
Hi All good advisers. Have been on pred for CGA since July 2023, starting at 60mg. now at 12 mg with very slow taper. I am having a kidney urogram this April. I am also on metformin 3 x daily 500 mg. I have read that I should stop taking metformin before this procedure. How many days before should

Starting fresh - probiotics
Hello people. I recently became disillusioned with the supplements I was taking. It came about because I restarted berberine after a three month break. My normal brand, renew by science, have doubled their strength, and within a day or two I was finding I was ridiculously tired, like I'd run a marathon

Steroid induced diabetes
I haven't seen too much about steroid induced diabetes. I was diagnosed with diabetes shortly after being put on Prednisone for PMR. It definitely changed my eating habits but I was able to control it with few carbs and more exercise. I was told that it might clear out as I taper off the steroids.

Some notes on the 'gloves ' aspects and the challenges I've encountered from the ' pool' of Trial Participants. No doubt that in terms of ease of use , acceptance , ' benefits ' , detectable changes / differences - a PWP is first , MSA++ 2nd but PWP & LB ( even min severity ) is very challenging

Cholesterol
Where can I find reliable information regarding cholesterol levels. I am in the US and cardio specialist who is also a lipid specialist is confused due to so much conflicting info for people with PBC and cholesterol. My LDL is high, so is my HDL and my Triglycerides are normal. I don't have any heart

Hypothyroid for 18 years. Discovered high cholesterol recently. Can I start using plant sterols alongside Thyroxine??
Also have tried increasing thyroxine (temporarily) for 3 months, to see if cholesterol results come down. They have come down from 8.9 to 7.5 in that 3 months. Not low enough I know, but it has reduced it. Trying my best not to be put on statins if I possibly can, or BP meds. Has anyone tried Plant
