Default more about Mucuna pruriens?

I was diagnosed about 16 months ago at age of 63. My main symptom is tremor and weak right hand. From day 1, the neurologist wanted to put me on sinemet but I refused. For the last year, I have been taking Mucuna powder. Started with one tea spoon then increased to 2 tea spoons daily. I take other supplements as well.
So far, so good and I still think I can do without chemical drugs.
Ofcourse I know I am in the begining but I am questioning the doctor's wisdom for early perscription of sinemet.
I honestly don't know if the mucuna is helping my Parkinson but I can assure you it has other health benifits
any body still taking the stuff??
