i can"t take any anecdotal "research" that seriously. honestly, i'm shocked this made it into a "scientific" journal. i'm not even attempting to analyze the "science" since it's all depending on the honesty of one person with no way to independently verifying anything about what went on, from her beginning meds, to the neuro, to her ending meds to whether the person actually ate what was reported.

i'm not as trusting as you are. i hope it is valid but i can"t invest a lot of time and effort in this kind of stuff. lots of people eat very healthy diets, get p.d. and get worse. then out of the blue someone who it seems basically treated themselves reports they got better?

personally, i've tried everything. chelation, i.v. glutathione, i live on brown rice, lentils, fruits and vegetables, take a lot of supplements and i get worse.
