Protein: Do we need more - or less?
I've heard this argued both ways. Currently, I'm of the opinion that we can do without as much as most people think, which will help with getting levodopa into the brain. This video, made by a doctor that I trust, discusses the studies: https://youtu.be/7NW32vLq340

RLS, PLMD, and Essential Tremors
I have been diagnosed with all three neurological disorders and have learned several things that might be helpful to other sufferers.: 1. These are neurological disorders and are best treated by neurologists. Most GP’s and PCP’s are not current on best practices for treatment of neurological disorders

L-Dopa 15%
My doctor replied to me in regards to my questions about supplementing Carbidopa with Dopa Macuna. I’m taking 25/100 of Carbidopa twice daily and wanted her opinion as to the dosage of Dopa Macuna to take, to replace one of the two Carbidopa. In other words I would take one Carbidopa in the morning and

Parkinson’s or Hypothyroidism?
First time I post in Thyroid, as I am usually in Parkinson’s Movement Section. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in Aug. 2017 at age 55. However, dopamine replacement (levodopa and or mucuna pruriens) seem to worsen my symptoms, especially stiffness. So, not taking any meds for a few months

Mucuna
Hi community, I just started on Mucuna extract 650 MG 40% L –Dopa from Barlow's herbal elixirs.. I have been taking one capsule twice a day for the past couple of days, it makes my head feel funny but have not gotten any relief from my tremors. Does it take a while before I begin to fill a positive effect

Suggestions
I will be receiving the Dopa Macuna 15% L-Dopa tomorrow. I want to begin taking it in an attempt to see if this alone will replace the Carbidopa that I currently take 2 times a day each measured at 25-100. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to take it? I currently take one Carbidopa at 7 AM and

Side Effects of cutting back on levodopa/carbidopa
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2013. His symptoms varied with drooling, unable to turn in bed, slow movements, un-animated face,but no tremors. Over time more little symptoms crept in but nothing severe. On his latest visit to the docto, we discussed his visit with a movement disorder specialist

Hello everyone, just received my L-Dopa from NUTRIVita, I haven't taken any of it yet. I was looking for some current posts on Mucuna, but everything I've found is approximately a year to two years old. Could anyone share current information with me? Is it working for you? Any precautions I need to

Confused and floundering!
Hi I've just been reading some posts and am amazed at all the knowledge and suggestions you all offer. I was diagnosed 16 months ago. Sort of. Parkinsons or Peroxetine induced parkinsonism. I saw a consultant last October who wants to see me again this October. A year? I don't really know who I should
