If you will visit our new alternative medicine message boards (the link is at the bottom of most of our emails), you will discover more natural remedies for parkinsons' including the fabulous fava bean! When we started this board I especially requested that make a special forum for Parkinson's. How I wish that these remedies were more widely known. I discovered about the effectiveness of the fava bean through Dukes writings. It is a wonderful source of of Levadopa and is a *constant* source of help without any of the ups and downs of the synthetic drugs which wear off too quickly and are so hopelessly ineffective. Favas correct the imbalance between dopamine and acetylcholine which is purported to cause the problems leading to parkinsons! I joined a parkinson's list not too long ago in the hopes of learning something. I will say that this doctor knew more than most of them about natural remedies although he left much to be desired. He recommended coq10 and vitamins. That is more than most of them do. One thing I learned thru joining this list was the frequency with which these people are misdiagnosed!! when all is said and done I do not believe that they can tell the difference betweeen alzheimers and parkinsons and to top it all off some of these symptoms are known to be CAUSED by other drugs they have been taking! Delve into it a little bit and you will really be surprised at the lack of knowledge in the medical profession, as you say. Diet is the key! Its shocking to see that according to the previous article, one of the causes of parkinsons is 'malnutrition'! Standard american diet again? Makes sense to me.
