Heart racing and Mucuna
Good morning all! I was looking up reasons as to why my heart races after I take even an eighth of a teaspoon of l-dopa powder which is actually Mucuna. I usually take 3 1/8 of a teaspoon of L tyrosine powder because a lot of the times the Mucuna has a tendency to make me nauseous or vomit. I came across

Has anyone information about ND0612, a levodopa-carbidopa solution that is administered subcutaneously
Does anyone have infomations, when ND0612 will be approved EU or USA. This is one of the liquid Dopa solutions which will be the next advance in therapy. There are three or four substances in the pipeline (ABBV-951 by abbevie, Infudopa SubC™ by Dizlin ), but Nd 0612 seemed to be the first one of these

Plant based ALA [alpha-lipoic acid] can weaken COVID-19 infection and maybe even prevent it.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7427590/#!po=9.45946 ALA can increase human defenses against SARS-CoV-2 by increasing intracellular pH. ALA is a potent antioxidant and reduces oxidative stress and inhibits activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and can play a vital role in the treatment

Success With Mesenchymal Stem Cells -- Why Can't This Become More Mainstream More Quickly?
The first patient was a 72-year-old man with tremor-dominant Parkinson’s who, after showing a hand tremor, developed stiffness in the neck, shoulder, and leg affecting his ability to walk and drive. Despite being treated with levodopa and related therapies, he continued to deteriorate and was selected

Examine Mucuna
Supplement-wise, 5g of Mucuna Prurien powder has been used with efficacy in some human studies on Parkinson's Disease and Fertility. This dose or doses upwards of it should be a good starting point. If your supplement is standardized for L-DOPA and you are supplementing for an effect attributed to L-DOPA

Results : Organic Acid Test (OAT) from Great Plains Laboratory.
I wanted to share the details of the results for my mother, based on Urine test . Hopefully, this will help a few on this forum. I am only indicating the High/Low items in the report. The remaining ( of the total of 77 items) were within the Ref. Range. See attached sample report from their website

Mucuna
Mucuna Pruriens Powder . Thiamine hcl could be a perfect treatment if it could quell tremors. It does not. For me it doesn’t. I have fair results with levodopa. I read posts of PWP having good results when they added mucuna to their B1 regimen. I have tried mucuna in the past. Today I am giving mucuna

Hubby’s arms and hands are becoming worse
His first symptom was hands that don’t work very well. Now he is struggling to hold or rearrange his cards playing bridge , cut his food, wash himself. Levodopa drugs don’t seem to help. He has tried various doses but either it doesn’t work at all or he is unable to reach a therapeutic dose without

roll back in medicines.
I wanted to share my experience, nothing to teach anyway. Months ago I had to stop pramipexole ( 1,05 a day ) as rigidity was causing problems. Had to switch to levodopa 25/100 half a pill twice a day. After some months, for my curiosity, I switched back to 0,52 pramipexole, quitting levodopa. Now it
