My husband has them, Parkinson’s and dementia, he started with 9.5 patches, they brought him back to life, then as the dementia increased he was put on 13.3 strength. Delays problems but does not stop them.

I would from my observation recommend.

Tamarisk, If conventional treatments fail you may need to discuss with his doctors the possibility of alternative treatments such as high oral doses of a highly Bioavailable form of Curcumin and Topical Curcumin-based cream application. Studies with Curcumin are preliminary so there is no guarantee that it will slow down the disease.

Topical Curcumin-Based Cream Is Equivalent to Dietary Curcumin in a Skin Cancer Model ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Curcumin inhibits skin squamous cell carcinoma tumor growth in vivo. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/214...

Curcumin induces apoptosis through mitochondrial pathway and caspases activation in human melanoma cells. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/252...

Possibly irrelevant. The former reply refers not to a PD condition, but to the skin cancer condition of Tamarisk's husband,

No Steff123, my husband has just been told he is terminal with skin cancer that as now invaded the lymph tissues, I am told that people with Parkinsons are more prone to suffering skin cancer but do not know how true this is.

Can you please tell me how I can use the patches? Dads nurolgist says dad should use it. But dad has had chemo treatment for a cancer. I wonder if dad can tolerate it? Do I stick the patch and then take it off at night? How do I use it?
