How much coq10 does people use for PD? Does anybody uses supplements alone? How easy or hard to get domperidone from canada?

[shstang]

Sorry too many questions in one post. Just wonder which of two evils to deal with, side effects of sinemet er or PD?

[PatV]

I don't use COQ10 any more. Hard to digest all those pills!. Don't know about canada?

For me the PD is worse than the side effects of the meds, except for Requip, the devil drug (for me).

I took my husband off his PD meds Dec. 2012 the side effects from them after so many years were intolerable, He has not been on any meds at all since then, I put him on alternative nutritional support, our new physician went along with the plan we are now on. He did much better going off of them but still has problems of mobility but we are managing ok. He is getting liquid CQ10, along with Vitamin D3 and the B complex liquid, as well as others that are available in the liquid form, those that aren't are easy to swallow for him. Best to talk with your Physician in doing, I make sure he has blood tests done.Kind Regards

What is the dose recommended for coq10?

My neuro is into pushing sinemet cr which are not good only and few other samples of requip, azilect, and mirapex all turned out to be a nighmare of sie effects.

I take 30 enzyme q10, no meds and follow howard shifkes recipe for recovery, i get by so far..7 years in. Up and down days. Eat fava beans and avocadoes if i feel i need more dopamine.

[Sedona in reply to hilarypeta]

Fava beans and avocados? Do you mean there are foods that produce dopamine in the brain, thus reducing or eliminating the need for drugs?

[hilarypeta in reply to Sedona]

I just take it sômetimes as i have refused drugs.

A 2002 study showed that 1,200 mg a day is fine in divided doses of 400 mg with food. Parkinson's patients have, what doctors call a 'brain energy crisis' because their mitochondria - energy producing cells, malfunction and CoQ100 puts the spark back into the (mitochondria's) spark plugs.

Other supplements that affect brain energy production: Magnesium. Magnesium chloride in the form of a liquid that is sprayed directly unto the skin. Look up Transdermal Magnesium

Therapy by Dr. Sircus. Also, the combination of Acetyl L Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid is great. Both help the body produce the master antioxidant glutathione and contribute to energy production. Many Parkinson's patients have high levels of brain iron - a contributing factor for PD, and Alpha lipoic acid helps remove it.

Many PD patients also use creatine plus ribose - both used in energy production.

I hope this helps.

Do you follow the regiment that you mention above? Has it reduced or eliminated your need for pd meds? What about your diet?

Like many things in life I have a strange story. I accidentally discovered I had PD by taking a capsule of tyrosine, a dopamine-producing supplement, when I felt unwell (symptoms of PD), then went online and found many vitamins, minerals and amino acids used to treat the illness.

I have never been to a doctor and with time have eliminated the symptoms of the disease. The reason why I went online and tried something alternative is my father has PD and I was not very impressed with the therapy.

From my research I found 1 drug (which my father is now on) called low dose naltrexone. At full doses ranging from 50-150 mg/day is used for alcohol/drug rehab but at low doses it is great for PD. Since he went on it he has felt better.

The problem with getting a prescription for the drug is doctors have either not heard of it or are just unwilling to open their minds to think about it. Here is an audio recording about a woman who went on the drug and I think you will find it interesting:

PS. CoQ10 (and the other supplements) work well with LDN.

I take 3 x 400 =1200 mg per day of CoQ10 which come from America via eBay so I can buy the stronger ones. I do take other supplements & at the moment am managing PD without prescribed meds.

Hi, Cassy52,

what are the other supplements you take? I'd really like to be off meds. I am trying now neupro patches, which do not work for me. Will see my dr soon probably just to be put on another meds and do not have any desire. I am also on aziect 1mg. Thank you in advance

For a natural form of CoQ10, find a source of grass-fed organ meat. For example beef heart is delicious and GRAIN-fed beef hearts contain 113 mcg/g of CoQ10. Grass-fed animal organs supposedly contain 10X that amount. Grass-fed beef heart tastes like steak to me. Sometimes you have to marinate it a bit.
