Carbidopa depletes B6, Anyone substituting Carbidopa with 5-HTP?
Topic might be old and tired but I just wanted to know what others are doing I'm trying to help my mother. Quote:The novel hypothesis is, if when administered properly 5-HTP has no side effects, then there is no justifiable reason to not substitute 5-HTP for carbidopa. The current medical care standard

Does Ongentys work in the body or the gut?
Never mind - Says to take on empty stomach (no eating 1 hour before or after). So in my case would make no difference. So, maybe the question is does Ongentys work only because of (no eating 1 hour before or after).

RLS and Parkinson's
Hi everyone, I'm new here but have been reading a lot of posts and find it very helpful. Great to find this community that support each other. I wanted to tell about my mother’s condition to see if anyone has any helpful tips or insights. My mum has been diagnosed with Parkinson recently and has started

Based On Newer Studies, It May Be Time To Rethink The Importance Of Vitamin D in Parkinson's Disease Progression As Well As Other Diseases
I previously wrote extensively about the value of vitamin D in PD here: https://healthunlocked.com/cure-parkinsons/posts/137599751/vitamin-d-and-its-many-effects-in-people-with-pd Recently I was reading this December, 2021 study discussing the anti inflammatory potential of Vitamin D in people with psoriasis

What do you think of Low-Dose Lithium?
1) How long have you taken? [Since 1/6/22 (18 days)] 2) What improvements have you noticed? [Positive effect on Mood, Less Anxiety, more Social.] 3) What improvements in PD have you noticed? [I feel very positive, but too early to tell for sure. I have cut back on on l-dopa (5 to 4 a day).] 4) What

Finally prescribed Methadone, amazing results.
Hi all. I live on the West Coast of Canada and have suffered from RLS since earliest childhood. This past year I was put back onto Levodopa, as I had augmented on everything else available, and they decided to try an old treatment I hadn’t used in twenty years, It actually worked if I used it throughout

My opinion of Mannitol
If enough Mannitol gets in your blood stream to do any good, your gut is probably too porous and you should see a doctor about “leaky gut”. As for me Mannitol is a laxative. "Or" maybe it flushed out the bacteria eating your Levodopa - Like when I was on antibiotics and didn’t need any L-dopa for a

Insulin & glucose in Parkinson's / Ketogenic lifestyle
hi, I am finding that the effect of glucose or insulin has quite an effect on mobility. Before, it seemed that protein alone would interfere with L-Dopa. Now it's not only that, but post-prandial somnolence that can lay me down for hours. Come the next day, I can pretty much lead a "normal" day (with

Anxiety and insomnia in PD
I write this to try to help the PD warriors and their carers. My husband was diagnosed with PD 3 years ago, and his 2 most disturbing symptoms have been anxiety and insomnia. After 7 months of experimentation with meds, his anxiety was relieved by Venlafaxine. However the insomnia was a constant battle

"The cure for Parkinson's disease". New book in Spanish. Coming soon in English.
A few days ago I finished and published on Amazon a book in Spanish about Parkinson's disease. Possibly closer to the one I would have liked to have at hand to help my father 20 or 30 years ago. "The cure for Parkinson's. Do we already know what it takes to checkmate the disease? (December 2021).
