There are also plants with antioxidants growing in the U.S. For example, blueberry leaves have 31 times the antioxidants in the berries. Check on pants you don't know if edible. Wisteria and oleander are poisonous. Hemlock grows as a weed in our area. South America has one of the strongest antioxidants with sangre de drago, sap from a plant. By the way, fava bean leaves, which also contain levodopa and carbidopa, are edible.

I am shocked that Guduchi did not make the list! Guduchi is one common name for Tinispora Cordifolia (TC) and TC is an herb with far reaching health benefits! Here is a short and basic abstract of what TC is capable of. For more clarification, click on the second link which is the full study as opposed to the abstract.

Abstract:

Marc,

That is by no means a complete list of the potential of Guduchi / TC! It also has anti-cancer activity and more! That is why I don't understand how they completely overlooked it??? At the bottom of the brief abstract, they very briefly mentioned PD and I can see why considering that it may also help with many diseases that may be concomitant with PD!

One issue people need to pay attention to is that at the end of the article they pointed out that a lot of products from India (up to 65%) are seriously contaminated with mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. (by several thousand times the safe limit) and that one should only buy products that have been tested by third-party labs -- which is, in general, a good thing to do with all supplement purchases.
