Fascinating - all the many helpful approaches that exist - and people diagnosed with PD are not referred to them!!! It is a kind of murder. In fact, so many do die, and before dying, lose so much of the possibility of their lives.

Thank you Gary. The issues are in our tissues, as they say! I hadn't come across the body braid and the way it is described does resonate with me. I look forward to hearing more about your experience. I know so many people with fibromyalgia. Perhaps body braid could offer an opportunity for a group to trial it.

I love this ❤ thank you.

It reminds me of my early research, 2 decades ago, after I learned my son has a large genetic deletion which includes almost every disease known to mankind if mutated. I wanted to understand what he was lacking and how to prevent disease. Once I learned how to ask good questions I found the one common denominator in most of them is glutathione deficiency. I connected as many common denominators as I could, had many tests done on his blood, feces and hair. This is how I planned my sons supplements and vegetables I cold press juiced for their enzymes and nutrients.

Gluathione deficiency is also implicated in PD.

Definitely worth a try on both fronts. If you find mucuna helps, probably not a long term solution, as you end up needing more, but indicates that trauma healing and stress reduction may be a big help so you can keep more of your own dopamine and stop it being turned into adrenaline!

If you can get the "mucuna dopa" brand by biovea, as quality varies with different mucuna products, and I can vouch for one capsule of this being identical in effect to one capsule of pharma grade l-dopa meds.

They include a lot of ginger and black pepper in their products to enhance uptake which I couldn't tolerate. Also need to split their capsules as 400 mg is too much.
