Fasting AND exercise
 

This might sound weird but I just found some reports claiming that fasting triggers the brain to create BDNF:

And here you have this guy claiming that fasting and exercise done PROPERLY can even do a better job:

though I realize that this Mercola guy is a bit fishy. This is a study about exercise and release of BDNF in human brain:

Further resarch showed me that the possible neuroprotective effects of exercise on PD are known a long time ago. I found articles about this from 2004 !!! We are now 8 years later. So I wonder why no clinical trials have been conducted to sort this out ??? Companies and organizations are looking for all these crazy meds for neuroprotectiveness ... while the most simple neuroprotectiveness could be fasting and exercise. I just can't believe this is not yet tested over several clinical trials. I am just shocked and dissapointed.

no need to be shocked. you can be your own test subject.

I saw an Amazing documentary about the strong power and benefits of fasting on french tv....
but i understood you had to stop all medics during the 3/4 fasting weeks

Diego-
Fasting is a very tantalizing subject vis-a-vis PD and has been discussed here a good deal. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a connection between our glucose handling, insulin, electrolyte shifts resulting from insulin, sinemet's documented tie to insulin resistence, and so on.

Here is a forum search to wander around in-

In particular yu might be interested in the long threads which tend to be "richer".
