just curious how you treat your pd symptoms. you'd tried the hinz protocol, was that to control symptoms?
so far you've tried the cutler chelation protocol after removing 11 amalgams and still take 600mg of alpha lipoic acid daily, you tried the hinz protocol - was that to control symptoms?, , are attempting to follow the terri wahl protocol. just curious, when you were diagnosed, what your symptoms are and what you take for your pd. anything helping or are you taking what you take hoping it may help? most newbies at least say if/when they were diagnosed. your 1st post was asking about dr. paneri.

Started eating more healthy, less to no wheat/gluten but only got more serious about that in the past few months as tremor became worse lately. So I've got the Wahls diet going and just found out about the Methylation PD connection in the past few weeks so am pursuing that also as they both pertain to feeding my body the nutrients that it needs to be healthy. Dr Whals diet seems similar, but much better than Paneri's. I believe we are what we eat. If we eat junk food eventually it catches up to us in the form of MS, PD, CF or whatever. When that happens depends on the DNA we were born with. SO IT'S TIME TO START EATING FOR OUR HEALTH FOLKS! I hope that helps. I believe it is a great time to have PD with all the new information being discovered/applied regarding nutrition and PD! Best regards!

Only time will tell if these methylation things will be relevant to PD. I am finding that my PD symptoms are quite distinct from B12etc., though superficially they may seem similar. An example of this is biilateral neuropathy but unilateral right sided rigidity, which has not changed much since 1995. those with B12 and no PD symptoms have few of the hall mark signs we do, no FOG, masking etc. I'm keeping a very open mind, and would also like to know about Zanpars route to diagnosis and treatment, as I have noticed his/her posts elsewhere.

The study is interesting because there is this point in PD and in B12 def where it becomes difficult to use l-dopa/B12.They seem to be in a remarkably similar place, so do these genes fulfill several purposes. I don't know enough to even know if that is possible, but I like learning
