I stumbled on the following article which suggests alternative natural route to PD treatment which makes sense to me. What do you think ?

You can always check out our online research forum www.pdonlineresearch.org
Here is what you get when you search 'acetylcholine' on PDOR... http://www.pdonlineresearch.org/sear.../Acetylcholine Additionally, you can go to www.michaeljfox.org and search the term to see if/how MJFF as been involved. The link below shows the results from a search of 'acetylcholine' on our corporate web site. http://www.michaeljfox.org/search.cf...hOption=entire Debi PS...admittedly, these search functions don't always deliver the best results within our site (ie, more maybe be within our site than show up on a given search term) so clever searching will yield better results -- we are working to upgrade our "search" function. |

I know your post was about natural remedies but I have read oral GABA does not cross the BBB in sufficient quantity to make any difference. However, Neurologix is working on GABA gene therapy, I believe they concluded phase II of their trial and many are waiting on those results. Phase I was apparently a success. MJFF may also be involved with Neurologix.
Paula has posted quite a bit here about messing with acetylcholine levels, you may want to review those posts. Thanks for sharing this, very interesting. 108 is incredible to me. |

I found following article from same website interesting and again offers suggestions of alternative 'natural' PD treatment. I hope to see your comments.

"To decrease the amount of dopamine needed as a precursor for epinephrine and norepinephrine, thereby helping to preserve dopamine, you can increase the efficiency of epinephrine. This will result in less depletion of dopamine."
Hi Imad, I couldn't agree more with this doctor. We run out of norepinephrine like we run out of dopamine, which, in turn causes an imbalance of acetylcholine [initiates muscle movement - goes berserk thus tremor, bradykinesia, etc.] and GABA, the regulator of adrenalin and over firing. i made a mistake in my interpretation. Seems reuptake has been studied and nortriptyline does lower acetycholine but it inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine, which helps to balance the norepinephrine and seratonin. My bad sorry!
