Default follow it up...

I read the full article, fabulous, and very encouraging. Everyone should read it as it discusses possible mechanisms of action, all of which would help us, including increasing GABA levels (this is what Neurologix is doing).

The article has also been cited quite a bit, including this year, and when I have time I want to read the articles citing it. One discusses dopaminergic activity and the ketogentic diet, that should be really interesting.

We are going to try this at our house, will be hard with the kids, but this sounds really encouraging. A 43% improvement is better than any PD drug trial I have ever read about. I have read that you can avoid an increase in cholesterol ( most PWP are low in this anyway, so it shouldn't be a concern) if you use unsaturated fats for saturated. Good thing we like peanut butter at my house!
