The one that I am using is combined 100 mg bromelain plus 400 Quercetin per capsule.

I wonder if Parkinson's is an auto-immune dysfunction like allergies, osteoarthritis, hypoglycemea etc. It seems to me that if eat something I am allergic to, there is a coincidental failure of the optimum "on" response to the Levodopa, like maybe the immune system does not discriminate between what it experiences as toxic threat, and the drug, so the drug gets neutralized along with the allergin? Just a thought.
Quercetin is used to treat allergies, maybe that's one of the reasons it's workng for us? Thanks Rick, for bringing it to our attention. I seem to be having good results. Atma Quote:

I am amazed at you Rick....yes I think you are on the right track...even though using pills.
I have had such relief of night time symptoms by just up-ing my dried fermented papaya (still not taking very much a day...about the size of 2 small cookies...flattened & dried. Considering that the strawberries & rhubarb that we eat often have it too..I.have been getting much more quercetin than I normally do. I feel whole foods are the "ticket" with illness.../and for maintaining health..quite worth the effort to add them to a daily regimine. God is good and truly has supplied all that we need! |

Still positive effects, although I am puzzled as to why it is primarily of benefit in the evenings rather than around the clock. Unless someone else is experiencing that I am going to continue to assume a connection to my potassium problem.
A new development this morning - I actually smelled coffee brewing from the opposite side of my home. First time since I don't know when. It may be unrelated, but time will tell.

I'm taking the quercetin more consistently in the morning, and that's when I get the better effects. I have a hard time swallowing the capsules and can't always do it at noon at work, and have been so busy with visitors and family members moving that I don't always remember it in the evening.
I wonder what the "half-life" of quercetin is, does it build up in your system after awhile or do you need to keep taking it at a certain interval for it to have its best effect? With my limited experience, I would say it's lasting for maybe eight hours - really just a guess. |

wendy-
Sounds like you are doing well. The contents of the caps that I am using are pretty mild tasting and would mix with a lot of concealing vehicles, so you might be able to dispense with them altogether. As to how long it lasts, all I know is that the evening stretch when I take it with Sinemet CR is five hours (from 6 until 11 PM). That could be limited by the Qu or sinemet either one, however. One thing about the botanicals is that missing an occasional day may be to your advantage. It lets the systems "reset" in some way. Keep us posted - Rick Quote:

Thanks for the interesting and informative thread and personal trial and error.
Is anyone using quercetin who also already uses an MAO inhibitor? I have been taking 500 mg of quercetin for a couple of months now but have also used Selegeline for 12 years (MAO-B inhibitor 10mg/daily). It found it hard to determine from the study if they were basically performing the same action- if this is overkill? Or do they complement each other? In any case, I am so happy to hear that several of you are getting such great results.
