Aunt Bean-
By all means do start a thread on your findings. I would suggest that the title include the name itself to make future searches a little easier. I did a brief search and it does look like it has high potential. Keep us posted. -Rick

Saturday required NONE. Amazing! Took one half dose this morning before driving to town to play music with the senior string band. What I read on Rhodiola rosea is that it re-builds dopamine and should be studied for PD....well, I am studying it!!
Arsippe...I have foot writhing sometimes and hands tremor some when low on dopamine (used to couldn't go to sleep at nite at all because my foot was peddling off somewhere (but it didn't take me with it.....just kept me awake....if I did fall asleep, I drooled so bad that that would wake me up and I slept with a wash cloth under my mouth...Those were NOT the good ole days!) I can live with me now.
Should I start a post just on Rhodiola rosea and the pages I written down???????
It would be a very long post.
