I was told by a MDS that B6 (pyridoxine) was contraindicated in PWP.
Anyone else told same?

I'm not sure what an MDS or a PWP is but B6 is absolutely required for methylization to take place. Can you fill me in on abbreviations?

Yes, They stand for movement disorder specialist and a person with parkinsons.
I stand by what I stated regarding B6 contraindicated in PWP's.

I'm not disputing what your MDS told you but Dr Google shows numerous reports of the opposite situation. I couldn't find anything, in just a few minutes, that shows that B6 causes PD or contributes to it.

Studies can be quite contradictory though .. If you have a study link I'd love to read it.

I believe that B6 is contraindicated for PWP because of it's adverse interaction with many PD drugs, not because it causes the disease. But, if I recall correctly, you aren't taking any PD drugs.

You're right on the money Tupelo. Here is a link to a fresh retrospective study that seems to indicate that B6 should be used and that L-dopa should not be used for PD. It's a hard read for me because a lot of it revolves purely around PD death rates and seems quite opinionated. To top it off it's funded by a drug company (big red flag in my book), but it is interesting in it's conclusion.

Does the symptomatic fix for PD prevent a possible cure for PD? Who knows ..
