There was a flurry of interest in a papaya extract that seemed to benefit the Previous Pope. That was eight years ago and little has been heard of it since. It was being promoted by a French doctor named Luc Montaigner who went on to win the Nobel in 2008 for his work in isolating the HIV virus.

I had not paid much attention to it, I admit. But last night I noticed that I was doing unusually well and began casting about for reasons. The only thing that stood out was a fruit salad that I had made. One of the main ingredients was a can of Dole "Tropical Mixed Fruit" with the two main ingredients being pineapple and papaya packed in passion fruit juice. Passion fruit is often said to help PD but little research is available.

Naturally I am going out and buy a 55-gallon drumof the stuff today but I thought I would see if anyone has any experience here.
