tonics
Steffi (whom we haven't heard from lately BTW) reported great results from a tonic she was taking. I forget the name (available only in UK) but I remember the ingredients as a simple mix of concentrated electrolytes.
I keep suspecting a role for metabolic problems of one sort or another in PD. We may be taking in plenty of everything but simply not taking it up out of the GI system or not making the enzymes from it or similar problems. I really haven't seen much research on these kinds of things done for PD. May be too simple.
