WE ALREADY KNOW ENOUGH (II).
What would I do if I had Parkinson's? As far as I know today, 3/31/2020.

This is a delicate question to ask for someone who does not have the disease. I asked myself that question many times while caring for my father (I write this again because there are many new readers, who will wonder how I dare to ask that question and propose an answer). And I have asked it again many more times since then. The truth is that in my father's lifetime we barely scratched the surface of Parkinson's. I will try to answer it honestly.

For the first time in the modern history of Parkinson's, thanks to magnificent studies, the Internet and the recommendations of some specialists (Ahlskog, Lombard, Marjama Lyons, Siniscalchi...), we can decisively influence the course of Parkinson's. We can change the Parkinson's labyrinth. To stop the degenerative waterfall with our own hands, which makes it a chronicle.

The key is not whether I will take Immunocal, Mucuna, Atremorine, Marian thistle or the Omega 3, but that all this must be done for the right reason in order to integrate it into a strategy to deprive Parkinson's of its food sources, to starve it:

1.- If Parkinson's feeds on OXIDATION (Jenner, Olanow) itself and more so on levodopa, that's why we take vitamin C, green tea, grape resveratrol, etc.

3 .- If Parkinson's feeds on a high level of HOMOCYSTEIN, so we look for foods rich in folate, folic acid or vitamin B9 (Ahlskog, Siniscalchi, Marjama Lyons), along with the richest natural supplement, brewer's yeast, and some mild supplement of 400 mcg or more (as taken by pregnant women to prevent damage to the developing child).

4 .- If Parkinson's is a lack of DOPAMINE in certain areas of the brain, so we try to give you enough vitamin B6 but not interfere with levodopa (up to 25 mg according to some neurologists and the prospects of levodopa, thanks to the carbidopa that carries levodopa since 1975). Vitamin B6 (the pyridoxal phosphate) is essential for converting levodopa to dopamine within the brain. Always consult your neurologist, because there are people who are very sensitive to vitamin B6. Sources: pistachios, brewer's yeast, vitamin and mineral supplements, etc.

5 .- If Parkinson's is fed by the weakness of the LIVER (already the traditional Chinese medicine related Parkinson's with a disorder of the liver more than 1000 years ago and there is even an encephalopathy caused by its malfunctioning), so we use the milk thistle (Lombard, Marjama Lyons). Also vitamin C, artichokes or glutathione.

6 .- If Parkinson's is nourished by SEDENTARISM and lack of physical exercise, we will give vitamin C (carnitine) and spinach (coenzyme Q10) to have energy and desire to spend it, while we take walks, do some exercise at home, practice the usual sports or dance tango, boxing well advised, etc. Always adapted to your own circumstances by the specialist.

And so a long etcetera: Vitamin D from the Sun and from supplements, omega 3 EPA and DHA pearls for Parkinson's in general and for depression in particular, etc.

As long as this is lacking in diets and treatments for Parkinson's, something very important will be missing.

When we begin to see Parkinson's in this way, we understand why it progresses as it does. And the ways to slow it down or stop it from progressing, depriving it of the environment it likes to keep growing. I think it's better understood that way. For explanations with scientific language we already have very good books, guides and studies.

Don't forget to always consult your doctor and pharmacist.
