Recommend a reliable mg scale AND Barlowe's brown 40% mucuna dose question
Second question... since I can't find a scale that works (yet), can anyone give me a ballpark U.S. customary teaspoon measurement SPECIFICALLY for Barlowe's 40% brown Indian mucuna in order to get about 100-120 (ish) mg of
levodopa
?

Rytary
My doctor seems to think that I am not tolerating
levodopa
/carbidopa very well and we are thinking about switching. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Started Sinemet and my hair is falling out, switching to mucuna
Yes, I understand that
levodopa
is
levodopa
, and that mucuna isn't magic, but I'd like to give it a try since the Sinemet has been an epic fail.

Why have a DaTscan?
I showed early signs of Early Onset Parkinsons Disease last year (impaired gait, stiffness, bent at the knees, shuffling walk, dystonia in left thigh) and my first neurologist put me on
Levodopa
and unfortunately it worked and made my symptoms disappear which I’m aware means that I have PD.

Interventional Influence of the Intestinal Microbiome Through Dietary Intervention and Bowel Cleansing Might Improve Motor Symptoms in PD
The UDPRS III significantly improved and the
levodopa
-equivalent daily dose decreased after vegetarian diet and fecal enema in a one-year follow-up. Additionally, we observed a significant association between the gut microbiome diversity and the UPDRS III and the abundance of Ruminococcaceae.

Ongentys this medication WORKS!
I've been using this med for 6 months, with very positive results. I posted on this before and was surprised on the apparent low interest. Back in October 2020 I complained to my Neuro, my Sinemet was wearing off suddenly. I went from being totally functional to frozen in seconds. Also my dosage regimen

THC/Marijuana: Why/how does it work for PD?
I'm thinking about
levodopa
and FUS-PTT, and wondering where THC fits into the picture. I'm hoping that my state legalizes medical marijuana soon (we're working on it), so I'll be able to experiment with it a lot more.

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
).

Chapter 17. I dream of the revolution that must come... 2/2.
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
