CBD--questions about Thiamine/B1 & Levodopa. . and what we could try?
He's let us do two months of
carbidopa
-
levodopa
trial in increasing doses--and I notice improvement in things like facial expression and blinking, but my husband's non-working hand still shows no improvement (can't shake it or move it back and forth).

Stop B6
"This because vitamin B6 is a facilitator of the peripheral decarboxylase and in PwP may interfere with the amount of L-dopa that reaches the brain and thus worsen the symptoms".

An interesting theory: http://www.outthinkingparkinsons.com/articles/dopamine-aldehyde http://drhoustonanderson.com/sensitive-noses-aldehyde-sniff-test/ Candida produces aldehydes, and Candida overgrowth can be caused by steroid injections for hayfever, asthma inhalers

Quercetin/Bromelain & EGCG as Carbidopa and Encatapone substitutes?
Has anyone had any luck with this as a protocol suggested on this site? My husband takes Mucuna L-dopa 98% and was looking for something that he hoped would help the effects last longer than 2.5-3hrs (occasionally longer, when taken on an almost empty stomach). We haven't seen any difference as yet and

DR. COSTANTINI & DR. COLANGELI ANSWER 58 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) ABOUT HDT / THIAMINE / B1 PROTOCOL / Email : carapetata@libero.it
The members seem to agree that levodopa is not the problem as you stated in your email, but they feel the problem is the
carbidopa
that is often included with their
levodopa
prescription as both in one capsule. I believe the product is called Sinemet that has the
levodopa
and
carbidopa
together.

Out of nowhere, starting last night at bedtime, my husband started needing to urinate multiple times an hour! Like 2-3 times EVERY hour, sometimes almost too urgent to make it. So he's been up for more than 36 hours, it continued during the day. We called the neurologist to ask if this was a CBD/Parkinson's
