Aunt Bean,
I'm intrigued. What is it in pumpkin seeds that can reduce Parkinson's tremors? Thank you Norton |

Pumpkin seeds are an excellant source of tryptophan and glutamate. Tryptophans convert into seratonin and niacin. Seratonin is a beneficial nerochemical (nature's
sleeping pill) Tryptophan is a precursor of B Complex vites. Glutamate is required in the synthesis of y-amino butyric acid(GABA) an anti-stress neurochemical in the brain. They are a good source of Vit E antioxidant, protecting cells from free-radicals Also, source of B Complex Vites that work as cofactors for various enzymes during cellular metabolism. They enhance GABA activity INSIDE the brain Raw Pumpkin seeds also contain essential minerals...copper, manganeese, potasium, calcium,iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium. They help cut the risk of prostate and ovarian cancers, and have a role in preventing diabetic kidney disease They seem to have the effect of reducing tremor in several PD'rs I know... scientifically....don't know if there have been clinical trials using them They are an important ingredient in the Fava Bean Sprout Balls we make and devour around here for our PD symptoms....try a couple handfuls a day as a snack or ground into meal and put in cereal or peanut butter.....report what you notice with them.. |

Hi,
I have been diagnosed only a few months ago with PD. Currently taking Propranolol only (40mg twice daily) This completely stops tremors. I know it is early days yet but Propranolol may help. Certainly I intend to continue with this for as long as possible. hope this helps. |

excuse me, but have you PD or essential tremor? Because as far as I know, normally, propranolol is not prescribed for PD. What kind of symptoms have you ? Resting tremor, stiffness and bradykinesia? or some other? Are the arms swinging when you walk ? This issue interests me very much, because I had the tremor (of action) as the symptom of onset, and the right arm doesn't swings too much when I walked. It is now about five years since I received PD diagnosis and now has added a bit of bradykinesia, but with Neupro Stalevo and other supplements I still can work, and my workmates don't know about my PD, yet. If Propanolol works well for PD, I will go tomorrow to ask to my doc an explanation. Many thanks Geoffe.
