Inhibiting the Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine In Parkinson's Disease

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

The symptoms of Parkinson's Disease, such as tremors, rigidity, postural instability, and other disorders of movement, are considered a result of declining levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. In Parkinson's Disease there is a degenerative process in the brain that leads to a marked decrease in synthesis of dopamine and a resultant drop in its levels in the substantia nigra and corpus striatum (two areas of the brain where dopamine synthesis is important). The lowering of dopamine results in raising the ratio of acetylcholine to dopamine, in cells of the nigrostriatal system. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle cells. It is considered that the higher ratio of acetylcholine to dopamine leads to over-stimulating muscle cells and this imbalance contributes to the various disorders of movement found in Parkinson's Disease.

In conclusion, Parkinson's is a disease of accelerated aging. Motor symptoms, brain degeneration, decrease in cognitive function, and other problems of Parkinson's lead to decline in efficiency and function of the brain and body, which results in further degeneration, aging, and breakdown. This is a downward spiral of declining efficiency and function. Each symptom and problem of Parkinson's needs to be neutralized, in order to slow down the aging process. There is no magic bullet cure. Each specific condition must be dealt with and methods of anti-aging can be used. The ideas in this article are to help in one aspect of Parkinson's, to help inhibit the activation of acetylcholine and the overstimulation of epinephrine. Good luck.
