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.

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?
