Quercetin/Bromelain & EGCG as Carbidopa and Encatapone substitutes?
Has anyone had any luck with this as a protocol suggested on this site? My husband takes Mucuna L-dopa 98% and was looking for something that he hoped would help the effects last longer than 2.5-3hrs (occasionally longer, when taken on an almost empty stomach). We haven't seen any difference as yet and

SIDE EFFECTS
I have read in several different sources that
levodopa
/carbidopa side effects are/could be severe. Am wondering what everyone's take is. I read somewhere that the med is good for 5 years and then causes all sorts of issues.

How to treat increased level of homocysteine while on levodopa treatment
Unfortunately one or more of these vitamins shortens the metabolism time for
Levodopa
thereby increasing the off period. How do we fix the problem ? --Shankar

PD tremor started on my non-dominant side yesterday
And I must say scarcity of posts visits by persons with PD who are taking natural sourced
levodopa
is another thing to consider.

DR. COSTANTINI & DR. COLANGELI ANSWER 58 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) ABOUT HDT / THIAMINE / B1 PROTOCOL / Email : carapetata@libero.it
The members seem to agree that
levodopa
is not the problem as you stated in your email, but they feel the problem is the carbidopa that is often included with their
levodopa
prescription as both in one capsule. I believe the product is called Sinemet that has the
levodopa
and carbidopa together.

Comtan (entacapone)
For Parkinson patients it is prescribed to make the
levodopa
effects last longer. On those really bad days we all have it seems as if I am dosing myself every 4-6 hours.

My correspondence with Dr Cosentini
Per ottenere la completa regressione dei sintomi motori è necessario aggiungere la giusta dose di
levodopa
la quale non darà mai più le cosiddette compliczioni tardive. Noi abbiamo da anni pazienti con le tue stesse caratteristiche che non mostrano più nessun sintomo motorio e da diversi anni.

Hallucinations: "It's the Dopamine, Stupid!"
"Half of the skeptics were then unwittingly given a dose of
levodopa
, a drug that temporarily increased their dopamine levels. With
levodopa
, these skeptics behaved more like the believers—they saw more faces in the images.

Taking EGCG, pros and cons
My husband is taking 98% MP (
Levodopa
) three times daily. When he is on, things are great, but when he is on and also when off... he suffers from bad and painful bloating.

If there is any small thing left we will make it disappear with small doses of
levodopa
, which will never cause you the late effects that depend not on the duration of the treatment but on the progression of the disease.

CBD oil and more frustration
I weaned Dan off of his morning daily dose of Carb/
levodopa
. Although we never saw much change with this med, at this small dose the neck rigidity seemed its best . (But So hard to know for sure.) For two days his legs buckled in the morning. Was it the lack of his morning carb/
levodopa
?

Neurosurgery in Parkinson Disease: A Brief History and Look Forward
The first-line treatment for Parkinson disease (PD),
levodopa
paired with carbidopa, did more than revolutionize treatment for PD when it entered use in the 1960s, it also largely replaced the use of neurosurgeries, especially pallidotomy and thalamotomy, that had been used in PD care since the beginning
