Treating Parkinson's Disease with Diet

Plant-based diets in general and certain plant foods in particular may be used to successfully treat Parkinson's disease in part by boosting L-DOPA levels. What about preventing the disease in the first place? See the previous video Preventing Parkinson's Disease With Diet (nutritionfacts.org/video/preve....

Hi My husband who has Parkinsons Disease with 12 years. He was very good for a long time. Over the last year or so his Parkinsons has progressed. He has a Duodopa Pump with a week & his symptoms have lessoned. It is a low dose through the pump into his tummy for at least 12 hours per day. It is making a huge difference already.

+geraldine diet of ratio protein to carbs of 1:7 is adviced for Parkinsons patients ..Dopamine will be greatest in that ratio ...example of that diet is to eat foods like potatoes , rice , fruits ,dried fruits , vegetables .

Why does the sincere space offset the surprise?
The powder streamlines the rate.
Why does the victorious attack establish the lead?

[@thomasbeckett1245]

I believe fibre just helps with the slow gut from Parkinson’s. A couple of packages 120 grams of dehydrated mangoes 🥭 definitely help with gut issues. Also I’ve heard vitamin B complex really reduces tremors.

[@redlavish7027]

Serrapeptase is a critical enzyme of removing inflammation and mucus in the body therefore enabling the chemicals made in your gut to run smoothly to the brain. Most parkinsons patients have a lot of mucus and this is affecting the production of neurotransmitter s

I take B complex vitamins if I feel shaky. Definitely helps. Within minutes. And I’m much better if I eat two packages of 120 g mangoes dehydrated. I feel better, it results in easy life. And is so tasty 😋. I quite enjoy it.

Great things Dr Madida on CZcams has being doing for mankind, I undergo his Parkinson disease treatment plan for weeks and my Parkinson Disease was completely reversed.💫

[@sivaramakrishnagogineni2163]

What is the treatment plan,pl let me know.

[@Awakenedblue]

the vegan diet may help parkinson's and other disease maybe because of calorie restriction. and fasting effects. I feel hungry and feel calorie deficient on a vegan diet. What does fasting or calorie restriction have on parkinson symptoms, people?

[@babbarsher413]

Awakenedblue if you are hungry than start eating lots of beans and grains you will feel very satisfying.
