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.

Have you had the opportunity to be treated by Dr Hinz directly? If so has he ever touched on genetic testing or methylation or gut treatments for PD?
