Homocysteine: friend or foe?
Those who are canny will recognize that homocysteine levels can be elevated by taking levodopa, and this may lead to unwanted health side effects. (There are things you can do to mitigate this.) However, does mean that homocysteine is just bad? Maybe not. Have a peek the interconnected Methylation

C/L CR with food?
Many places it is written to avoid taking C/L with food. I think this to avoid the C/L absorption problems when the meal contain protein, and also, I guess if you take the C/L immediately after a large meal, it could be a while before the C/L reaches the small colon (where it can be absorbed)... But

Wallowing in the Trough of Carbidopa and Benserazide
I hesitate to even start a thread that is heresy to many, many PD sufferers, many self proclaimed pharmacologists/biochemists on this forum and many of their physicians as well. It is all about a couple of PD drugs that can go very deadly if used inappropriately. Please realize, if you can do so, that

Barlowe's herbals elixirs Macuna Pruriens
Seed extract 650mg. 40% PILL form it's white, I thought I was getting the whole herb which is brown, this looks like it's pure L-dopa. Has anyone tried this, and how much would replace 25/100 cardopa/levadopa. I take 2 25/100 every 3 half hours. I would like to try cutting back one pill and replace

PD Without Rigidity.
Are there any PWP here that don't have rigidity? I don't mean body stiffness but mean no trouble with handwriting, no cogwheel rigidity in any joints? I have stiff neck 24/7 and axial (central body) stiffness that affects walking making me slow and off balance but no rigidity as yet. L-Dopa relieves

Artificial sweetened Cola drinks rapid relief?
Hi, i was dx with PD in 2014, and started out with selegilin and Requip (dopamin agonist), later adding L-DOPA (Madopar/Sinemet) and entakapon. Altogether enabling me to work full time, and I am convinced this would not be possible without such a «cocktail». Still, episodes of fatigue with loss

More pieces to the puzzle about getting a more stable supply of levodopa to the brain
Here is my latest article about how the CYP3A4 enzyme metabolises levodopa and controls its bio-availability and haf-life. It is based on a 50-day cycle (n=1) during which CYP3A4 was alternatively non-inhibited and inhibited. The results confirm that CYP3A4 powerfully inhibits levodopa and may be more

Grapefruit juice is more than a CYP3A4 inhibitor
Just found this timely article all about Grapefruit for Parkinson's, except effects on levodopa, 'cos it hasn't been tested. Conclusion : it's good for your brain, but could be dangerous, so if in doubt, don't drink it. https://www.salubrainous.com/grapefruit-for-parkinsons/

Gut microbes interfere with Parkinson's drug - but we could stop them
Levodopa is used to treat many of the symptoms experienced by the 10 million people with Parkinson’s. The drug works by passing the blood-brain barrier and releasing dopamine in the brain. But some of the drug is converted to dopamine before it gets there, which can cause adverse side effects and limit

Losing hope
Dx 2003 aged 46. until about 6 months ago i refused to be beaten. Now I am utterly beaten. For years I’ve taken madopar every 90 mins . I have always had sudden swings between off and on but was able to make them bearable – with the odd blip - with extra madopar. I worked out years ago that protein interferes
