After sifting through the options and considering cost, effectiveness, and PD-specific conflicts, it looks like the coconut oil is my choice. Of its eight major components, seven bump up GLP-1 levels. It also provides an explanation for the report in the other thread of the Tampa doctor whose husband benefited from it. I wonder, too, if fish oil has a similar action in addition to anti-inflammatory effects. There seems to be a pattern leading to certain fats.

Much has been made of the fact that Inuits ("Eskimos") have little heart disease. Does anyone know if they have much PD?

Thanks for the birthday present; I'm a Christmas eve baby. HUGE snow storm in NYC when I was born. Cars not allowed on the road, but the cop let me go home. Darn, I miss my dad.
