If you do a search for Hinz protocol you will find quite a bit of discussion on it. I rely upon it completely and it does a great job. It abolishes all of my symptoms which are primarily axial such as gait and balance issues with a little tremor. Oddly, these are not supposed to respond to levodopa but mine do. My only complaints are the cost and inconvenience of taking the powders. It's advantage is that you can take enough levodopa (in the form of mucuna) to do the job and not get side effects. It is also said to halt or sometimes reverse progression but I can't verify it except to say I haven't progressed in the couple of years I have been on it. Good luck Peppahmint.
