How Does Smoking Affect Sleep??
I'm passing this on from one of our members, BlueEyedGal Each year, nearly 6 million people die worldwide from tobacco use and related diseases. Smoking has a long list of health risks, including cancer, depression, anxiety, heart disease, and much, much more. But smoking also interferes with your sleep

A small study has recently suggested that Deep Brain Stimulation eases Parkinson’s symptoms by directly raising dopamine levels

Coffee Consumption Linked to Less Severe Tremors in Men With Parkinson
A new study has found a dose-dependent relationship between coffee consumption and reduced severity of tremors in men with Parkinson disease. Previous research has established that coffee is a negative risk factor for PD, a neurodegenerative disorder that produces motor symptoms, including tremor, as

The JAMA and the Canadian Fluoride Study. Whose side are they on?
Pretty good study out of U of Toronto (n=512 pregnant women) about the debilitating impact of fluoride on pregnant women and their newborns (measured at 3-4 years old). Significantly lower IQs. Anyone who thinks US tap water doesn't contain chlorine and fluoride is sadly mistaken. About 75%-80% and that

APDA Citation: What is wrong with these 2 sentences? Anyone?
These 2 sentences were the lead sentences in the APDA citation provided in one of our recent threads. Let's see how many our many "fuax" medical types can answer my question correctly. Perhaps the individual who provided the citation as a benefit to our newbies can provide the correct answer. Perhaps

How I reduced my Parkinson’s meds by 50% and beat my addiction to dopamine
Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Within a year I was taking the standard medication associated with the disease, dopamine in its various forms (levodopa/carbadopa, aka. Sinemet). Like most sufferers of PD, my need for Sinemet, grew and grew until I was taking 200 mg every

Don't keep fixating on dopamine to alleviate your lack of energy.
Dopamine is just one(1) neurotransmitter within your system's complex of neurotransmitters. Unfortunately, many have over exaggerated its importance in treating PD and related energy depletion issues. It isn't that simple. If it were, we would all just dump buckets of dopamine drugs down our mouths and

Oxycodone Dopamine Agonist?
So I have just come off of ropinirole for restless leg due to augmentation and I’m now taking oxycodone 5 mg before bedtime. This is really been helping and I was hoping it would be good for the transitioning from Ropinerol. I just read that oxycodone is an agonist. Does this mean I will have augmentation

The dopamine diet
Hi everyone.. Restless legs syndrome is a terrible affliction.. I've lived with it for several years on and off . Dare I say it..but this summer it sort of "went away"..and I'm putting it down to the foods I eat or don't eat.. I've never taken medication for it as I'm afraid of augmentation...so am trying

Melatonin and Parkinson Disease: Current Status and Future Perspectives for Molecular Mechanisms
inhibition of some pathways related to apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative stress, inflammation, α-synuclein aggregation, and dopamine loss in PD. In addition, melatonin improves some nonmotor symptom in patients with PD. Limited studies, however, have evaluated the role of melatonin on molecular mechanisms

Causes Of Social Anxiety
Social anxiety or social phobia has many varied causes, including biological, psychological and social. However, each one may be intertwined so it is hard to specify exacting ones. Though it is not yet known if social anxiety is caused by genetic disposition or something learned through family social

I challenge you to give up refined sugars for a week!
Here is the challenge to you - ditch the refined sugar starting today for one week. Often we procrastinate and make excuses so the best way to beat the mind chatter and fear is to JUST DO IT!! Sugar is a huge contributor to disease - notice how our global consumption of this has massively increased in

Why should not we increase L-Dopa bioavailability in the Brain
After watching this video you will find out why you shouldn’t manipulate the L Dopa bioavailability in the brain. https://youtu.be/_eq28PCvfsg You are trying to balance something but you will end up messing with the same thing, in this case the Dopamine.

Common Herbs With MAO Inhibitor Activity
MAOs, or monoamine oxidases, are enzymes that break down neurotransmitters and stop their messaging activity. MAO-A breaks down serotonin, epinephrine and norepinephrine; MAO-B deactivates dopamine. https://www.livestrong.com/article/82970-common-herbs-mao-inhibitor-activity/

Can you take sinemet and sertraline (Zoloft) together ?
Can you take them together or do they need to be spaced out. Hubby has been leaving a gap between sinemet and breakfast with his sertraline and vitamins but I’m wondering if he can take the sertraline at the same time as the sinemet to get it into him earlier in the morning. He is struggling with the

Switch from Ropinirole to Rotigotine
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post about changing from Ropinirole to Rotigotine patches. There was some very useful information and experiences from everyone and good advice. I am considering weaning myself of Ropinirole as it looks like the general view is you should not just switch from one
