Arrow my partial theory -

we are vitamin deficient and the body spirals downward turning into an illness

here are some vitamins and what they do - I take them w/ an much better healthy diet of vegies and not much red meat at all only organically grown products and zero tap water,
because I have had PD for since dxd 1994, actually before this but in the old daze -the neurologists thought you had to be elderly to get P.D. my response is - I wish!

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) — An antioxidant in its own right, Protects nerve receptors from oxidative damage. Vitamin C helps to protect us from heavy metals, particularly lead and arsenic which can poison certain enzyme reactions in your body. Vitamin C has displacing and detoxifying actions on lead, mercury, and chemical poisons. Proper levels of vitamin C in the system is needed for the body to synthesize serotonin and other neurotransmitters. Vitamin C, vitamin B6, and calcium as a group should be known as the, "neurotransmitter vitamins". In studying the chemistry of neurotransmitter synthesis from DNA to the neurotransmitter these two vitamins and the mineral calcium are involved everywhere. Necessary for energy production, tyrosine metabolism, reduction and storage of iron, and the activation of folic acid. In this formula, Vitamin C plays an important role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and proper brain hormone production.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) —Helps breakdown carbohydrates, plays an essential role in energy production including the conversion of glucose to energy. Thiamine also helps convert fatty acids to hormones such as cortisol and progesterone, and turn amino acids into proteins, hormones and enzymes. B-1 is an antioxidant nutrient that helps the body to inhibit the formation of the damaging free radicals. A building block to the development of serotonin. Vitamin B1 also chelates/sheds heavy metals such as lead. It is effective in the treatment of Alzheimer's & neurological conditions, uneven heartbeat, low blood pressure and chest pain. B-1: Helps maintain normal function of nervous system, muscles and heart.

B-2 A building block to the development of serotonin. It participates in essential biochemical reactions, especially those that yield energy. Also supports the production of adrenal hormones; the formation of healthy antibodies; and helps the body utilise other vitamins. Also assist in the manufacture of dopamine and tyramine, and involved in oxidation. B-2 helps the body to maintain healthy mucus membranes lining the respiratory, digestive, circulatory and excretory tracts when used in conjunction with vitamin A. This vitamin also helps preserve the integrity of the nervous system, skin and eyes.

B-3 ( Niacinamide) A critical vitamin for anti-stress, helping the body in general healing. It also assists to metabolize other nutrients for healthy digestion and nerves. This vitamin aids the body in maintaining normal skin function as well, releasing trapped sebum which can cause skin problems, and helps protect against pollutants and toxins that are known to cause premature signs of aging. Essential to proper brain metabolism, and as a coenzyme it assists in the breakdown and utilization of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

B-5 This vitamin, also important in protecting the body against stress, aids the body in the release of energy from carbohydrates. B-5 plays a number of essential metabolic roles, including the production of some hormones and neurotransmitters, and is involved in the metabolism of all carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Vitamin B-5, when used in conjunction with vitamin B-6 and vitamin C, assists the body in the relief of a runny and stuffed-up nose.

B-6 Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble nutrient that cannot be stored in the body, but must be obtained daily from either dietary sources or supplements. Vitamin B6 is an important nutrient that supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin. This is due to its role as a coenzyme involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Vitamin B6 is also responsible for the manufacture of hormones, red blood cells, neurotransmitters, enzymes and prostaglandins. B-6 is required for the production of neurotransmitters derived from amino acids such as serotonin, gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), norepinephrine, acetylcholine and histamine. It also regulates amino acid metabolism and is essential to healthy brain function. Reported to be effective in treating Autism, PMS and depression.

Folate- Folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 are involved in the sulfur amino acid cycle to keep proper synthesis in the cycle functioning properly. Diets deficient in vitamin B6, vitamin B12, or folate causes hyperhomocysteinemia (a cardiac risk factor and a leads to coagulation problems) and causes depletion of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). A building block to the development of serotonin.

Adrenal Tissue: Adrenal tissue will aid in the bodies response system to stress. Adrenal tissue may help to restore dopamine activity, one of the vital hormones of the Hypothalamus.
