Thank you all for the advice! I really like to understand the mechanics and theories of things so I hope to read a lot, gain an understanding if different theories and try to help my mom navigate through this. She is a timid person with medical issues so needs encouragement, support and direction. I hope with all of your knowledge I can help in some way.

i'm not a medical professional but my philosophy with pd and especially with elderly patients where simplicity is more important and where they have slower metabolisms and possibly other medical conditions, initially go with the conventional treatment that your doctor recommends and can work with you with. if you try the alternative methods and they don't work or have side affects you'll be responsible and having to explain to your mother's doctor what you did. it's totally different if it was you who had pd. it won't take long to find out how well sinemet works and there will be plenty of time to investigate alternative therapies, supplements, etc. later on. if the patient was a young onset with mild symptoms and wanted to explore possible treatments which might slow progression and alt symptom treatments, i'd say go for it, i tried a lot of things when first diagnosed before i went on meds, none had a noticeable beneficial affect.

I think she could wait on starting the med, if she is comfortable with her sx as they are now , and then start the med when her sx get too bothersome...
the members here can chime in on that on any pros & cons of waiting to start the meds..
