Default I'm in Day 7

I have been trying for two TBLSP per day and that may be a little too much. Trying to cut back on meds a little to thwart the evening dyskinesias.

Regaining your sense of smell would be especially interesting since it is one of the first losses.

I am keeping in mind the placebo effect, but after two days on one teaspoon of the oil, I actually smelled hamburgers cooking. I also noticed my fingers were nimble, less clumsy. Tomorrow I will try two teaspoons, working my way up eventually to two tablespoons per day.

Boy, those hamburgers smelled so good!

Has anyone else tried this?
