That's exciting Aunt Bean. I am convinced that diet plays a large role in the emergence of Parkinson's and it's retreat but we must keep in mind the PD won't disappear overnight as it took a while for the damage to occur! I presently am on Low sugar (which also means low carbs) (Trehalose is a good sugar, but I'm not sure Stevia is), coconut oil (and other good fats), organic foods, carnosine, B-complex, Phosphatidyl Serine, Curcumin and vitamin D. So far I am not taking any meds and it's been four years since I was diagnosed and I feel a little better each day especially since I started reducing sugars/carbs.
Dr. Perlmutter has alot of good information regarding good diet.
