Regarding levodopa/mucuna: is this true?
If levodopa is used as a lifetime remedy, your body's intricate system for monitoring hormones will be short circuited. Sensitivity of the monitoring system is degraded and the system itself is eventually disabled. [i]

Do you think it is useful to take a break from Ldopa after 5 days of treatment?
I just read this very interesting article by David Tomen who suggests taking a break from l-dopa, in this case from Mucuna After five days of use… This is a two day break https://nootropicsexpert.com/l-dopa/#nootropics-expert-recommendation And you what do you think ?

Mucuna pruriens in Canada
Hello to my fellow Canadians. I am wondering if any of you are taking mucuna pruriens (not the powdered form) and can guide me where I can get it. I have been looking for 15% L-DOPA by protocol for life Balance but would be happy with the equivalent from another company Thanks in advance, Missy

Is high dose thiamine therapy effective for people not taking levodopa?
Hey! My friend was diagnosed with PD ten years ago at the age of 30. They are not taking levodopa because of the severe hallucinations it causes. I was looking for alternatives to traditional treatment approach and found the HDT therapy. I'm currently reading "Parkinson's and the B1 therapy" by Daphne

What are your experiences with the consequences of a (tested) too low vitamin b6 level.
In connection with the worsening of my peripheral neuropathy that has occurred in addition to my PD, it appears after a blood test that my B6 level is extremely low (only 12% of the minimum needed value). This probably explains the onset of the PN and the poor efficacy of the Sinemet's L/C medication

My Liver on Kratom....
I was on DAs (
carbidopa

levodopa
, pramipexole) for about 35 years until finally augmenting on prami about a year ago (2021). I've spent countless hours researching over the years and have tried every diet, supplement, or treatment that you can think of.

Mucuna + carbidopa = vomiting? What's going on? Help please!
As I've mentioned elsewhere, I normally take Barlowe's Brown Indian Mucuna instead of Sinemet (VERY bad reaction to Sinemet which got worse over time when I tried it for a few months in early 2021). The Barlowe's capsules are 650 mg extract with 40% L-Dopa, so approximately 260 mg L-Dopa each. I take

Mucuna Pruriens
I would appreciate some advice on the following. I recently started giving Mucuna Pruriens to my wife hoping to start reducing her usual dopamine medication and replace this with the natural L-Dopa that Mucuna has as this should have far less side effects. However, after the third day, I stopped

Ketamine?
Levodopa, a standard Parkinson’s therapy, is a precursor molecule that is converted to dopamine in the brain. It is well-known for controlling Parkinson’s disease symptoms such as rigidity and slowness of movement. However, prolonged use of levodopa may result in spontaneous involuntary movements

Call for a more complete vitamins blood testing, especially b6.
I would have preferred to write about my coping with PD at a later stage, but in view of recent events I would like to warn you about the possible consequences of incomplete examination. After being diagnosed 1.5 years ago at 65, I found the development of the disease to be (too) fast. There is still
