Free ebook of 300 pages:"Parkinson's here and now. 27 years searching for a cure for Parkinson's disease (1994-2021)."
By administering sustained-release vitamins B6, B9 and B12, it would be possible for glutathione and vitamin B6 to be administered without interfering with
levodopa
(Lewis 2002).

The importance of vitamin B6 against Parkinson's. The end of a meaningless prejudice since 1975.
"VITAMIN B6 VERSUS
LEVODOPA
Vitamin B6 competes with
levodopa
and decreases its action (only that, if taken together, no special damage occurs, it's just like taking less
levodopa
).

As examples, using Mucuna pruriens as a source of
levodopa
; accompanying
levodopa
with supplements to reduce its side effects (vitamin C, B3, B9 and B12 sublingual, silymarin, etc.); delaying medication as much as possible, trying to favor the natural synthesis of dopamine, through food or supplements

If people knew... what Parkinson's is.
Before taking
levodopa
, maybe plenty of B6 and avocado.

Excellent Article on Levodopa from Mayo Clinic

Diabetes Type 2, PD and Berberine
Diabetes is a common disease that affects many Americans and 90 to 95% of diabetics have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). I will be discussing T2DM and one option to help deal with it effectively based on multiple studies. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is significantly less common so I will focus this discussion

Report: Ceylon Cinnamon Relieves Parkinson's Motor Impairment. Evidence Suggests Remedy of Underlying Disease
Levodopa
dosage at December 29, 2020: 100 milligrams 2x daily. I now exercise in the "OFF"/unmedicated state because any additional
levodopa
is too much. Update December 2021: after one year without three grams daily cinnamon, my
levodopa
need has crept back up to 250-300 milligrams
levodopa
daily.

Quick Question : How does Exercise or increase in activities affect your response to Levodopa?
I can never tell the difference between tremors and dyskynesia and I end up in pretty bad spots because the medication goes out of whack. I find that increase in activities results in tremoring furiously and most importantly without warning. I can't put my finger to it. I have to calm down with a Klonopin

The Incredible Edible Egg...?
Despite the fact that eggs can compete with L-dopa for entry into the brain, has anyone out there had symptomatic benefit from eating them? I find that a freshly poached egg on top of a small piece of gluten free toast is an almost immediate relief in PD symptoms for me. It’s as if my body calms down

First time carbidopa levodopa user
Well I tried my first dose of carbidopa
levodopa
last night and I only took a half a tab of a controlled dose to try it out and all I can tell you is I still feel the after affects. I’m not sure if this is normal or not but I feel like I’ve been smoking pot all night.

2. Non-Parkinsonian lifestyle (lower risk of developing the disease).
And the question immediately arose as to what effect several of these habits or substances together would have on delaying the manifestation of the disease or on the possibility of starting
levodopa
treatment later.

Can we prevent, slow or halt, improve symptoms and reduce the severity of Parkinson's?
On the sides of the main path of Neurology today (replenishing the missing dopamine with
levodopa
) there are important studies that offer us hope, another way of looking at the disease, in addition to the use of
levodopa
with inhibitors, dopamine agonists and the various surgeries and other therapies

Chapter 17. I dream of the revolution that must come... 1/2
This is chapter 17 of a book I published in 2015, "A Different Way of Looking at Parkinson's. Almost 20 years of experience with my father's disease (1994-2012)" (only in Spanish). Although we have learned a lot more since that year, I think it can still be useful to most sufferers and family members
