Thanks jeffreyn.

I had not realised that Dr Hinz has such an "interesting" track record.

As an aside there are many journals like those published by Dove Medical Press which charge extremely high fees,

Some reputable journals charge page fees but these are very modest in comparison to those charged by Dove Medical Press and can be waived if the investigators can show that their research funding does not include a provision for page fees,

Well theres a few things that come to mind. Established medicine can become entrenched. Marty had the guts to turn up here. Always people pushing boundaries get flak. Where has mainstream medicine got to with this disease?

The Guy here in Australia who outed Thalidomide was given a very hard time. Big Pharmacy is making billions off the status quo for a lot of disease symptom control. Big Pharm does not do much real self funded R & D. Research is controlled. Cheap cures are sidelined for as long as possible. CBD. Mucuna. etc

Marty is not all wrong i.e. 5HTP effects. B6 issue. Precursor depletions.

No I dont know Marty.

Dr William McBride was an obstetrician in the burbs of Sydney who with the observation of many unsung heroes the midwives in the local hospital where they delivered and saw an alarming number of bubs with shocking deformities to women who he had been giving sample packs of the 'new' anti emetic drug thalidomide. I don't recall he was given a hard time.

fallen, i suggest you read the doctoral dissertation
BEANS, ROOT AND LEAVES
A HISTORY OF THE CHEMICAL THERAPY OF PARKINSONISM
google brings up the .pdf but i don't know how to get the link, just google BEANS, ROOTS AND LEAVES PARKINSON'S and it should come up in the first page of the search.

i think after reading it you might come to the conclusion that hundreds if not more substances were tested on pd and l-dopa with carbidopa just works better by far than anything else. if mucana worked that great and could compete in the marketplace against ridiculously cheap carbidopa/levodopa it would have supplanted C/L by now in the western world.

what people lose sight of is it that it seems pharma was ready to give up on l-dopa because of the high cost of the grams of l-dopa one had to take before carbidopa was developed and the extreme side affects of that l-dopa, i assume it was darn hard to find doctors wanting to do trials and subject patients to that much misery. if it weren't for some very dedicated researchers maybe we'd be taking mucana now instead of C/L. Sure money was the motivation for pd drug deveopment, but i'm sure glad i have C/L, I couldn't imagine what life for advanced pd'er was like before it, must have been a living hell and i'm sure pd'ers didn't live as long. i'm willing to pay PHARMA something for those extra useful years. as for today, we have no cure which is unacceptable but i understand how hard it is to recruit patients into trials where they undergo brain surgery when C/L works so well and reversible DBS is an option and the disease has no accepted biomarkers yet.


i'll never understand why people show up here and bash C/L when on the other hand it seems most HINZ protocol posters never last for more on the protocol, high cost being a factor since you have to buy everything from your health care practitioner and the difficulty of consuming grams of mucana, and bottom line, nothing about their personal experience can be verified.

TheFallen, my personal experience of PD is confined to an uncle of mine who lived in a country town in NZ.

Initially he had problems getting a C/L dose which was effective for him. I suggested that he discuss this with his doctors; this worked for him.

Perhaps this is an approach which would work for you as well.

I take L-Dopa/Benzerazide 50/12.5 mg tds and peeps cant tell I have PD. Im 10 yrs into a diagnosis aged 58 and look 44, was told 35 today ! (and that was nude) How? Being open? Wrong diagnosis? I just stopped taking rasigaline 1mg od and pramipexole ER 1.5 mg od this week without informing the neuro. I know the protocols I was an RN. Protocols like any rules must cover the lowest denominators, like bad drivers. Im a touch more symptomatic but have no nausea. There is leeway to experiment carefully. I took 5HTP and B6 today. When I have something useful to say to the neuro I'll tell them.

Without a PD etiology and with symptomatic treatment only existing and no real progress being made (maybe GDNF) my course of action seems reasonable. Re Hinz he is just one of many sources of data Ill tap.

Thank you for the suggestion of substituting L-Methionine. Our doctor never suggested that. Am I remembering correctly that after they resolved the depression/anxiety that some people could work back down to needing just the cysteine? Would this mean that the sulfur aminos are the back bone of the program and the 5-HTP, tyrosine, l-dopa are just trying to get you balanced faster? I am not a chemist type so understanding how it works takes me a bit of time and not too few questions, unfortunately.
Hi HangOn (or anyone that may know the answer),

Hope both you and your husband are doing well. I am not sure if either of you are on this protocol anymore, but I have a family member trying it and having issues with Cysreplete.

Therefore, I was curious is there were a particular brand of the L-Methionine that is/was being used since that's the next step? Would you be able to share this brand? I could try to google it unless you have a online store where I could look it up.

Any particular brands for the following:

1. 400 mcg selenium (this one especially as I know it's part of the L-Methionine protocol)?

2. 800 mcg folate/5-MTHF?
3. Calcium – 220 mg?
4. L-Lysine: 500 mg?

Thank you!

HangOn had originally posted that her husband had to switch from Cysreplete to L-Methionine. C H K doesn't make a supplement for this reason. The new protocol he was put on was 5,500mg L-Methionine. Anyone know of the particular supplement brand used for this purpose? Thanks

What issues is the CysReplete causing that is making you want to consider switching to L-Methionine? Also, are you employing this protocol on your own or under the guidance of a physician?
