stopped after a month, i was exhausted. 12 years after diagnosis, i have pd.

best of luck in your "search" but keep in mind that the obvious causes and treatments for pd were tested years ago. welders have sued manufacturers of getting pd from manganese poisoning but if it were a major cause of pd that would have been noticed years ago by there being clusters of pd by profession.
I've tried chelation for a few years too using dmsa and alpha lipoic acid. I still have PD symptoms. Yep, I've been aware of the iron as a possible cause for years also. I'm looking for any solution, quick or slow that works. So far no luck. The manganese possibility is worth pursuing I believe, especially since I have no loss of smell which is a distinction between PD and manganese poisoning. PD seems to be a multi-headed critter with multiple causes and possible solutions. Good luck on your search as well.
