FUS technical explanation
I'll attach few pictures about FUS and also my EEG. See the 1st picture. The loss of dopamine in BG produces electrical signals disturbances in the Thalamus which are causing the PD symptoms. The dopamine is coming from Substantia Niagra (naturally) or carbidova/levodoba (artificially). When the BG

Melatonin for PD
Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine): powerful antioxidant that treats abnormalities in sleep-wake cycle, jet lag, cancer, and Parkinson’s disease. Epileptic children have a higher incidence of sleep problems; epilepsy is exacerbated by sleep deprivation. Melatonin has antiepileptic activity. Mechanism

Slowing the Progression of PD (adapted from a book)
“Strength of body, strength of mind and soul is vitally important. These things are important for anyone in any situation, but especially for those of us who find ourselves fighting this weakening disease. I could give in to this tomorrow and just stop trying to live a normal life, and I would probably

Parkinson’s and Protein
“I explored diets and after realizing I was generally doing worse if I ate a lot of meat, I looked into vegetarian diets…. What a difference it makes for me.” —GAIL J., PWP You may have heard about protein being a no-no in the Parkinson’s diet. This is only partially true. The problem is that because

PD or FND?
Check out FND: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_neurologic_disorder Symptoms sound just like PD. It's it possible a person told they have PD actually had FND. It's important because FND is triggered by stress, not some still poorly understood mechanism with dopamine. Anyone hear of this?

Glutathione therapy
Glutathione is an antioxidant that assists in ridding the brain of dangerous free radicals. People with PD have low levels of glutathi-one, specifically in the substantia nigra, the area in the brain where dopamine is lost. This can mean that their cells die faster and the disease progresses more quickly

PD’s Effect on Sex Life
“The best advice I got was from my neurologist, who told me to look at Parkinson’s as only one part of my life, not all of my life and not who I am.” —ANONYMOUS, PWP This may be a sensitive topic to talk about, but it’s an important one. People who have Parkinson’s may experience various sexual problems

PD Effect on Sleep

Fortunately, this condition seems to have been fixed with a prescription from the neurologist. The clonazepam pills have all but eliminated that problem.” —ED C., PARKINSON’S CAREGIVER It is common

PD’s Effect on Vision
“We need to remember that no two cases of Parkinson’s are exactly alike. No matter who you see or know with PD, or what you hear or read about PD, you are not necessarily going to be like that or have happen to you what has happened to them, because you are unique and so is each case of PD.” NANCY F.

When Anxiety Strikes
“One [thing] I have learned is to live for the day and the moment rather than looking back to the past or worrying about the future. I also have discovered that it is best to live within my limitations—to step back and take things easy if I’m having a bad day. Otherwise I only find myself frustrated

Adrenaline dominance
https://theenergyblueprint.com/adrenaline-dominance-dr-michael-platt/ This is kind of interesting and a different theory. This doctor believes adrenaline is the root cause of many problems. I think it’s interesting because dopamine is broken down by beta hydroxylase to norepinephrine then by PNMT to

Finding some negatives on Berberine (I will keep digging)
EDIT March 17, 2024:
Today somebody shared a link to a two year old post of mine about a report on Berberine being neurotoxic and taking it off of my stack. Within a few months I found other information on Berberine and, using my High School educated brain, decided that Berberine definitely needed

"The chemicals are called tryptamine-derived alkaloids. They're similar in structure to melatonin, a hormone involved in sleep regulation that can

Phosphodiesterase 9 inhibition prolongs the antiparkinsonian action of l-DOPA in parkinsonian non-human primates
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35461880/ These results indicate that cGMP upregulation interacts with dopamine signaling to enhance the l-DOPA reversal of parkinsonian motor disability. Therefore, striatal PDE9 inhibition may be further explored as a strategy to improve motor responses to l-DOPA in
