Default Very interesting!

Rick, my daughter, a pediatrician, sent me a high-intensity light box powered by hundreds of LEDs for my birthday in June. I used it a time or two then, but was not looking for any significant effects on PD motor symptoms, but for prevention of depression, and decided that I got plenty of light therapy from my outdoor time, so I stopped using it.

I think I will do some experiments with this apparatus and see if I can make small decreases in sinemet intake and maintain the same symptom relief. I will report my results at about this time next week.
Do you suppose she knew something about this melatonin/dopamine ratio stuff but didn't tell me?

btw, Dr. Marcie practices not far from you. She is in Murfreesboro, TN.
