Thinking of the maps that show prevalence..... and imbalance. Where do these things connect...

Brain chemistry is such a difficult thing to comprehend, it is not static for one thing. So when you look at something in a petri dish or under a microscope or a bunch of statistics you are looking for something fixed, provable. Cause and effect.

But all the neurotransmitters are dancing - except when they don't work, or disappear - I am starting to think that they really need to use all that fancy neuro-imaging stuff much more creatively - not just for diagnostics, but to look at the dance...... and how the brain regulates the dance......

INDEED! Perhaps we should apply this understanding to how we take in our meds, food etc...i.e. in cycles! would this method better align us to our own intelligent nature? not only do we need to nurture that which is deficient but also integrate with that which nurtures us by syncronizing ....resonating with natures cycles where intelligence to move us towards wholeness resides.

the principal of like can cure like is well practiced in both western and complimentary mediicine models. For example the use of radiation to treat cancer or quinine to treat malaria-............ and sinemet to treat pd. (keep in mind that radiation cann cause cancer, quiniine ,malaria sinemet pd) Using a linear approach to dosing lacks respect for the cyclical nature of our own biorythms. I find I neeed less sinemet in spring and summer months and always seek to take only the minimum dose as my body dictates.

row row row your boat GENTLY down the stream (which ebbs and flows)!

a more sophisticated dosing technique

and...

I think we could go a long way in improving the treatments already available for pd simply by reconsidering the dosing schemata. How many people suffer needlessly because of overdosing?? especially those who were given sinemet or addictive barbituate laden agonists when their only sx was a small tremor??thats like attacking a mouse with a cannon !

it took close to 3 months of taking sinemet before i experienced a marked and siginificant response. what does this mean to those who start a sinemet trial but think they don't respond if they take it say for a month because they hear from others that they get a response sooner.

and...one other thing. a very minute dose together with a high dose can be synergistic. the low dose can potentize the high dose and render it much more effective. for this reason i take an aryuvedic herb combo (in addition to sinemet) that has only a couple of mg of a source of levadopa --it is difficult to know what is doing what, but, my body speaks directly to me whereas a doctor can only give an opinion-thats all....just an opinion.
