B6 and dopamine
B6 is necessary for the conversion of levodopa to dopamine and the idea is that taking B6 will cause increased dopamine in the body instead of the brain.
The article you mentioned is from Dr. Hinz who designed the protocol I and other contributors to this site use instead of prescription drugs. He believes that carbidopa antagonizes B6 leading to an increased mortality rate among those with PD.
I don't know if he is correct or what his references are but as per his protocol, I take 400 mg a day of B6 in divided doses and haven't suffered an adverse reaction or diminished efficacy.
