whoops, should have posted this on the "mice with parkinson's board".
yea, i'm a hypocrite, i admit it.
i'm sure these were above average mice though.

i did add some cinammon to my coffee today, ya never know.

Either cinnamon slows progression in people or it doesn't.

What annoys me is that we don't know now, and we still probably won't know in 10 years time.

A possible role for cinnamon has been raised many time in this forum. Perhaps now is the time to organize ourselves to get an answer.

There have been a number of diabetes studies done with cinnamon, so you can use that as your starting point. I've seen dosage levels used from .5g to as high as 6g. Typical is 1g - 2g, spread throughout the day. What will not likely work is sprinkling a little cinnamon in your coffee (sorry ST). Maybe if you add a couple of cinnamon buns to that it'll help.......

i appreciate your point john but i think you would have a fundamental problem, that is how do you verify someone has pd and verify lack of progression with anonymous patients? probably patients also taking a myriad of other supplements and pd meds.
i say lets all email this researcher and ask him to do a trial or MJFF, etc.
TEVA couldn't prove it with azilect and millions of dollars.

look how much work went into investigating whether eating dairy products might increase your chances of pd. i'd say once biomarkers are determined, these studies will start in earnest. no waiting for years, just measure biomarkers.

but i'll be glad to start cinammon, it's cheap and i assume safe. but i'm also taking a bunch of other stuff daily or weekly.

WELL! FWIW
i bought 1lb of the vietnamese cinammon since it was cheaper from IHERB awhile back, probably because i read something about pd, so i used 1/2 tsp. cinn. and added COCOA!!
but thanks for the buns suggestion. do i need a RX for those?

I would like to know how much cinnamon per body weight was given to mice each day so I can calculate how much cinnamon buns I should eat on my coffee break.

be careful, mice have much faster metabolisms than humans, past studies have shown body weight ratios way over estimate human doses vs rodent doses.

better to google other cinammon studies with humans including BP.
