Madopar VS Sinemet
My MDS decided to switch me to Madopar after my 5yrs horrible experiences (side effects) with various grades of Sinemet. He is aware that Zandopa (a brand of Mucuna) gives me far better relief (based on my testimony) than the Sinemet. Hence, he doesn't have any issue with my mucuna usage and even prescribed

Optimizing levodopa
Hi Parkie. You should try a more natural source of levodopa: mucuna pruriens is a seed that comes as powder or in capsules. I take 6 g 3 times a day, mixed in with apple or orange juice (no dairy product s). At first it helps to take -1 capsule of green tea extract in the AM. You can also take

Trying Sinemet
Amazing how you can get different diagnosis from a new neurologist and start down a new treatment path with optimism. This neurologist is all for Carbidopa Levadopa and CBD and Cannabis. We saw some improvement in stiffness and increases in sleepiness and drooling. Apparently the concept that melanoma

Switching to L-dopa from macuna, from cardopa/levadopa.
Trial on myself, I was trying Barlows 40% Pure l-dopa, worked good and now using 100%pure l-dopa from NutriVita which is very potent, I use just a pinch of the powder in water, it only last for 2 hours, and using Quercetin/ Bromelain I was hoping it would help to lengthen the l-dopa but I really don't

I finished my documentary...
I hope everyone on HU is doing well. For the last several years I have been abscent from HU because I worked on and completed a documentary about the early 20th century disease, encephalitis lethargica. If you ever watched the movie 'Awakenings', featuring Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro, you know

Better L-Dopa delivery?
Hello all! I read this about the paradise brand capsules in terms of how to deliver that although bit better: “this product is very effective, but note what they don't tell you, is that in order for the brain to make it into the enzyme that utilizes L-dopa you require an activator like Green Tea or

long term problems using c/l
I am really concerned abote the long term use of C/L. I would rather deal with the termors and stiffness being under medicated than to have major problems associated with side effects of C/L. Accoding to this link below carbidopa has bad long term side effects and can be replaced with less harmful

WHY IS CARBIDOPA USED IN COMBINATION WITH LEVODOPA IN DRUGS SUCH AS SINEMET?
This is a question that I have heard different answers for in different places on the web, but never was quite sure what the exact reason was, but I have noticed that there is a group who believes that Carbidopa itself can be a problem and would prefer alternatives to Carbidopa while some people use

Sinemet, how much is too much?
I'm wondering is there is a scientific guidance or a rule of thumb about how much Sinemet is too much for PWP. I have been very careful about the intake of C/L because of the side effects will come with the long time use of this drug but my panic button was activated when I read a post from a member

A bioproduct rich in L-dopa
Has anyone had experience with Symprove probiotic or Atremoplus, we know a PWP taking the latter and is having great results, also very good reviews on livebetterwith parkinsons.com. My hubby would really like to try one or the other, the cost is very expensive, which we don't mind if it would help

Foot cramps
I have had PD for 16 years and there is one thing I just can't seem to manage through and that's foot cramps in my left foot when I awake in the am, or go 4 hours without my carbidopa ( after I take two tablets the cramps disappear in about 30 - 45 ) any suggestions?

Everyone who diagnosed with Parkinson should read this article!!!
Anyone who diagnosed with Parkinson disease should read this article, and you could find out you probably don't even have Parkinson, but something else and could be wrongly diagnosed by your Neurologist big time! As most Neurologist suspect regards your showing symptoms you have 100% Parkinson and

A year ago yesterday I officially retired to become a professional caregiver. Not sure how professional I am but we’re supposed to say that so as not to feel invisible. This is explained in a book that someone mentioned on this site titled “The Selfish Pig’s Guide To Caring”. I’ve only read a few chapters
