Enzymes??
Anyone have experience with enzyme therapy? In particular I am referring to a product by "NOW" which they call "Plant Enzymes." About a dozen diferent ones blended. Many familiar names such as bromelain, papain, lactase, amylase, etc.
I started taking it yesterday morning because my wife made me as a common sense move given my diet. It had nothing to do with PD in my mind. But by yesterday afternoon I began to notice that I seemed to be doing better and by the time I went to bed at midnight there was no denying it.
So today I have been paying attention and there is no question. My functional ability is up by 25% and my sinemet intake is down by a third! Anyone have a clue out there?
