I came across that also but apparently in some cases manganese poisoned people do respond to L-DOPA so that is not a hard rule. I was diagnosed 3.5 years ago and don't take any meds yet but may need to now as the tremors have increased the past few months. Maybe I should try to get a datscan but don't' know where to get it. Any suggestions
Also, how is the Hinz protocol going? How long have you been doing that? Does it help?
