This is my 5th attempt to evaluate a product known as Mega Hydrate. It's original name was Microhydrin. My first attempt was brief, but I experienced some relief from Parkinson's symptoms before stopping due to a lack of funds.

My second attempt was a bit longer because the company that manufactured Microhydrin supplied me with enough product for a 3 month trial. By the end of the 3 months I was experiencing relief again from some of my Parkinson's symptoms.

My third attempt came in May of 2000 and lasted until July 10 of the same year, at which time I had a heat stroke while working 12 hour days on the side of a white marble building on an extension ladder in 105 degree temperature. I had been able to improve my "ON" time from 6 to 8 hours per day to about 16 hours per day. After the heat stroke nothing worked, including my Pd meds. It took me over a year to get back to 6 good hours per day. I didn't know how long it would be before my brain would respond again to Microhydrin.

On Sunday, January 19, 2007, three days ago, I began to have flu symptoms, a sinus infection and an abcess around a molar. Knowing that Microhydrin, now called Mega Hydrate is an excellent anti-inflammatory, I began taking a capsule each time I took my Pd meds. Due to rainy, depressing weather, my "ON" time had been a whopping 4 to 6 hours per day, and my ability to walk was becoming less and less.

Today I awakened at 4 a.m. Since my day began so early I decided to take my meds at 5 a.m., 2 hours early. I realized that I would probably be "OFF" by 8 a.m., but I was feeling horrible due to Pd and the other unwanted guests in my body. Well, 8 came then 9 then 10 and 11 and finally at 12 noon I started to go "OFF." I had not had that many consecutive "ON " hours (6 1/2 of them) in a very long time. I took my meds at 12:30 p.m. and was back "ON" by 1 p.m. At about 5:30 I felt a slight twinge of "OFF" coming on me, so I took my third dose (an hour and a half late). I never went completely "OFF". At 8:00 p.m. I decided to go ahead and take my final dose for the day. It is now nearly 11 p.m., and I am still very much "ON". That means that so far today I have had 17 nearly consecutive "ON" hours.

I realize that it is too soon to celebrate, and I realize that this could be a placebo effect, but I also realize that this stuff has worked for me 4 of the 5 times that I have taken it. I will keep you posted.
