A lady in our support group has weaned herself off sinemet (on it starting in April) and is now taking 2 mucuna capsules every two hrs and some fava tincture occassionally as needed for extra support. She is feeling more energy and basically much better off sinemet....will keep you posted as months go by on her progress. her and her husband are also growing fava & mucuna beans now/ making fermented papaya and she eats healthy. So far doing very well!
