Default Hi--looking for those interested in PD and alternative treatments

Hi All,

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons 3+ years ago, just shy of 50 years of age. He is on a low level of PD medications, Low Dose Naltrexone, plus a bunch of supplements. We are always interested in learning about supplements or medications that may have neuroprotective qualities rather than just treating the symptoms.

We have an organic dairy farm in Central New York State but were conventional for many years when my husband was exposed to some pesticide sprays over the years. He also was hit on the head by a falling tree branch several years ago that didn't knock him out but did require several stitches to close the gap left by the blow. I mention both of these as they have been cited as possible causitive factors in PD.
