First, protein is not necessarily a problem. "Protein Restricted or Redistributed Diet: In a small number of PD patients (primarily those experiencing the on/off effect), L-dopa effectiveness can be compromised by the ingestion of some amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The large neutral amino acids (LNAAs) compete with L-dopa at both the level of absorption from the gastrointestinal tract as well as at the blood-brain barrier...." http://www.homenutrition.com/care_ce...parkinsons.asp The rest is worth reading too. Second, I have an EMS too although I haven't used it much. But from reading before I bought it, there is quite a bit of science behind it and a lot of PTs use them too. Third, creatine does wonders for me in building up muscle especially combined with exercise. Works in just a few days. Visit http://1fast400.com/. Great site for serious body builders with well researched reports. Love their site name: "Monster Maker"
