40% L-dopa Mucuna in United Kingdom??
Anyone in the UK knows where to purchase 40% L-dopa Mucuna from? I've found some 98%, but not 40%.

reducing usage of MP (mucuna pruriens)
Seems that I am reducing the size of my doses of MP. Starting out I was taking 3-400 mg 3 or 4 times a day. Now I am taking 200 mg in the AM, 100mg after that as needed and 200mg at bed time. If I could go to bed at a reasonable time of night I would dose 4 times. Caring for my wife with MS keeps me

If Mucana is only Levadopa - then where is carbidopa coming from ? Also any one tried using light therapy . PLEASE LET ME KNOW .
What do folks take with mucana to make it a
levodopa
plus
carbidopa
. I read about tyrosine / 5 htp . Years ago when I was insomniac due to depression- 50mg of 5htp worked good for me . I can add these but do they interact with any meds > She is taking sinemet, Mirapex, meds for throid etc .

Peppers, tremor, KIKO1580
In a post written by KIKO1580 a couple months ago, they noted they don't shake and they think that is because they take their levodopa with a portion of a hot pepper. I have tried that several times and it does make a difference. Koodos to KIKO1580! Actually some of the time I take the bite of a hot

RLS ? Magnesium
Jafta Hi I am new to this forum. Just reading through your posts and i feel sympathy for all you. I suffered from RLS since the age of 25 ( Am now 53). I saw a neuro doc about 16 years ago, who had me on Dopamine / levodopa. After reading about the side effects of the drugs, I stopped using them and

Levodopa and Mucuna Purins
If you take Sinimet can you also take Mucuna Purins? If you take both, are you simply doubling the amount of Levodopa going into your body? I understand that taking too much meds can be as bad as taking too little. Also, does MP wear off over the years until it has no more effect?

I've defeated my loss of levodopa benefit that happens after eating protein
To start with, an update, I am back on the MP, no Sinemet at least unless I hit another obstacle unforeseen. I hurt myself today eating some delicioooous bbq beef. It was soon after getting my dopamine right and I had been feeling pretty good actually. The beef protein began to rapidly bring me down

Anatomy of a Myth
[*Note: 'Willful dupes' comprise that segment of a given group of people (take the HU PD forum group for an example) who believe ANY hope is better than no hope. They are the segment that is so desperate for some sense of hope that they willingly accept as fact any 'hope' that is dangled before them

Aunt Bean from Tennessee, United States sends greetings from America. I have Parkinson's Disease. I treat my PD naturally and do very well.
Just a quick note from Aunt Bean. I depend on fava beans for most of my PD symptom relief. Making my own L-dopa extract with both the stem top buds and fava bean pods in brandy. Also using herbs, vitamins , organically grown vegies from our farm here in TN. It is a lot of work, but the fresh air, and

Risk of long-term levodopa/carbidopa side effects
I recently came across an article produced by the Cleveland Clinic which was an eye-opener. It said "While Sinemet is the most effective medicine and has the least short-term side effects, it is associated with high risks of long-term side effects, such as involuntary movements (dyskinesia). Used on

Levodopa and my wife's b/p tab interact synergistically :)
I struggle within our home, that is looking more like a nursing environment, as the sole caregiver for my dear spouse. She is afflicted with multiple sclerosis. Caring for her is physically and emotionally stressful, which effects my b/p. This post is to inform of a happy discovery that may benefit those
